There were four simple cylindrical pores of the same length but with different diameters. The results showed that even though decreasing the pore diameter would always decrease the translocation velocity, it was strongly dependent on the shape of the increased pore diameter. Although increasing the pore diameter made the translocation faster in simple cylindrical pores, it was complicated in different pore shapes, e.g. increasing the diameter in the middle decreased the translocation velocity. Investigating polymer shapes through the translocation process and comparing the shapes by the cumulative waiting time for different pore structures reveals the non-equilibrium properties of translocation. Moreover, polymer shape parameters such as gyration radius, polymer center of mass, and average aspect ratio help us to distinguish different pore shapes and/or different polymers.Standard succulent vegetation mixes developed mostly in temperate climates are being increasingly used on green roofs in different climate zones with uncertain outcome regarding vegetation survival and cover. We investigated vegetation on green roofs at nine temperate, cold, and/or wet locations in Norway and Sweden covering wide ranges of latitude, mean annual temperature, annual precipitation, frequencies of freeze-thaw cycles, and longest annual dry period. The vegetation on the roofs were surveyed in two consecutive years, and weather data were compiled from meteorological databases. At all sites we detected a significant decline in species compared to originally intended (planted/sown) species. Both the survival rate and cover of the intended vegetation were positively related to the mean annual temperature. Contrary to a hypothesis, we found that intended vegetation cover was negatively rather than pos
