    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pedology; cartography; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Physical geography; geomorphology; Geologi; fysisk geografi; physical geography; Geology; sea level pressure; atmospheric circulation; erosivity; wind erosion; wind climatology; Scania; Australia;

    Abstract : Wind erosion is a serious threat to soil resources as it causes depletion of the fine fractions that may result in a less fertile soil. Wind erosion encompasses several processes of which many are related to climate variables. To date, there is little work performed on how wind erosion relates to climate and climate change.

  4. 2. Water erosion modeling using fractal rainfall disaggregation- a study in semiarid Tunisia

    Author : Sihem Jebari; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reservoir siltation; regionalization; fractal analysis; Atlasic mountain range; erosive events; semiarid area; soil loss; Tunisia.; Soil erosion; semiarid; Tunisia; rainfall; fractal; diaggregation;

    Abstract : In the Tunisian semiarid area, water erosion processes have led to negative economic and environmental consequences in a context of limited water resources. To characterize and predict these degradation phenomena, a comprehensive high-resolution data base on erosive rainfall, together with siltation records for 28 small reservoirs were analyzed.

  5. 3. A Method for the Study of Unsteady Cavitation - Observations on Collapsing Sheet Cavities

    Author : Johannes Schöön; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cloud cavitation; re-entrant jet; cavitation erosion; gust generation; cavitation;

    Abstract : When subjected to sufficiently low pressures, water will eventually come apart. Gas-filled cavities appear in the water: it is said to cavitate. When the cavities collapse, they often do so quite vigorously, causing noise, vibrations and erosion. A well-known example of cavitation is that found on heavily loaded ship propellers. READ MORE

  6. 4. Differentiation factor Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand is a modulator of cell responses in autoimmune diseases

    Author : Mats Dehlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Flt3-L; rheumatoid arthritis; primary Sjögren s syndrome;

    Abstract : Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3) is a receptor on common stem cell progenitors and has a crucial role in hematopoesis, regulating cell proliferation and differentiation in man and mice. The growth factor Flt3 is activated by its soluble ligand, Flt3-L, leading to differentiation of multipotent stem cells and lymphoid progenitors. READ MORE
