2. 1. Atmospheric corrosion and runoff processes on copper and zinc as roofing materials

   Author : Wenle He; KTH; []
   Keywords : atmospheric corrosion; corrosion rate; runoff rate; copper; zinc; field study; laboratory study; roof; first flush; rain quantity; rain intensity; rain pH; dry and wet deposition; corrosion and runoff process;

   Abstract : An extensive investigation with parallel field andlaboratory exposures has been conducted to elucidateatmospheric corrosion and metal runoff processes on copper andzinc used for roofing applications. Detailed studies have beenperformed to disclose the effect of various parameters on therunoff rate including: surface inclination and orientation,natural patination (age), patina composition, rain duration andvolume, rain pH, and length of dry periods inbetween rainevents.

4. 2. The Torneträsk System - A basis for predicting future subarctic ecosystems

   Author : Didac Pascual; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climate change; carbon fluxes; ecosystem change; climate projections; rain on snow; modelling; impacts; snow; permafrost; winter warming events;

   Abstract : Arctic and subarctic areas have experienced a rapid warming and substantial increases in precipitation in recent decades. The frequency and intensity of some extreme events, such as fires, winter warming events, extreme rainfall, and droughts, has also increased. READ MORE

5. 3. Agile, Resilient and Cost-efficient Mobile Backhaul Networks : Fundamentals of Network Design and Adaptation

   Author : Forough Yaghoubi; Marija Furdek; Lena Wosinska; Dipak Ghosal; KTH; []
   Keywords : 5G; topology design and control; software defined networking; rain disturbance; techno-economic framework; network consistency.; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

   Abstract : The exponentially increasing traffic demand for mobile services requires innovative solutions in both access and backhaul segments of 5th generation (5G) mobile networks. Whilst substantial research efforts address the access segment, the backhaul part has received less attention and still falls short in meeting the stringent requirements of 5G in terms of capacity and availability.

6. 4. Plant community assembly in grazed grasslands

   Author : Bryndís Marteinsdóttir; Eriksson Ove; Cousins Sara A. O.; Johan Ehrlén; Meelis Pärtel; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Assembly rules; dispersal limitation; environmental filtering; establishment limitation; ex-arable fields; functional traits; landscape history; semi-natural grasslands; seed bank; seed augmentation; seed rain; trait based filtering; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

   Abstract : Species assembly into local communities from the surrounding region can be caused either by species failure to reach the site (i.e. seed limitation) or to establish (i.e. READ MORE

7. 5. Properties of heavy rainfall in an East Asian monsoon catchment - Analysis of daily rain gauge data

   Author : Cecilia Svensson; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; China.; Huai River; East Asian monsoon; typhoon; Mei-Yu front; fractals; empirical orthogonal function analysis; correlation analysis; probable maximum precipitation; storm movement; seasonal occurrence; Rainfall; spatial pattern; Hydrogeology; geographical and geological engineering; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; teknisk geografi; Geophysics; physical oceanography; meteorology; Geofysik; fysisk oceanografi; meteorologi;

   Abstract : The East Asian monsoon has a strong seasonal effect on the rainfall regime of Eastern China. In order to mitigate floods and conserve the water for use throughout the year, dams and other hydro-structures are built. The design of the structures requires knowledge of the rainfall characteristics that influence the inflow to them. READ MORE
