Despite the rich and extensive documentation provided by European Member States Commission in describing National Energy Climates Plans Long-Term Strategy plans, it is still very difficult to evaluate where how Union as a whole has positioned itself on path achieving Green Deal objectives, named Fit 55% package 2030 achievement of carbon neutrality 2050. This research aims fill this gap, proposing simple but exhaustive semantic scaling methodology that allows, for first time, quantitative...
A maximum entropy method (MEM) is presented for separating the emission resulting from different foreground components simulated satellite observations of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR). In particular, applied to by proposed Planck Surveyor satellite. The simulations, performed Bouchet & Gispert, include CMBR and kinetic thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effects galaxy clusters, as well Galactic dust, free-free synchrotron emission. We find that MEM technique performs produces...
This paper explores the level of awareness people have about environmental impact menstrual products. Currently most popular types product are also detrimental to natural environment, particularly due amount hidden plastic in disposable items. research seeks find out whether realize that this is case and those more aware damage likely make choices less harmful environment. A mixed method approach was taken, using online surveys focus groups. The results study show participants were not at...
This paper reviews different approaches to modelling the energy transition towards a zero carbon economy. It identifies number of limitations in current such as lack consideration out-of-equilibrium situations (like an transition) and non-linear feedbacks. To tackle those issues, new open source integrated assessment model pymedeas is introduced, which allows exploration design planning appropriate strategies policies for decarbonizing sector at World EU level. The main novelty open-source...
A dislocation-free silicon crystal grown by the Czochralski technique has been heat treated over a wide temperature-time range to explore basic silicon-oxygen relationship. The processes occurring were followed carrier-concentration changes and infrared measurements 1.2–25 μ. absorption below 900 °C found follow an Arrhenius plot with activation energy of 0.5±0.03 eV. This value is compared results for other on surface or in bulk seen be low. above are agreement generally accepted theory...
The recent discovery of dust-correlated diffuse microwave emission has prompted two rival explanations: free-free and spinning dust grains. We present new detections this component at 10 15 GHz by the switched-beam Tenerife experiment. data show a turnover in spectrum thereby support hypothesis. also significant detection synchrotron radiation GHz, which is useful for normalizing foreground contamination cosmic background experiments high galactic latitudes.
A survey has been conducted for radio pulsars along the northern galactic plane at 1400 MHz. Using a fast sampling rate and relatively high frequency, this minimized selection effects associated with background emission, interstellar dispersion multipath scattering, all of which had seriously affected previous major surveys. As result, search was sensitive to distant shorter period low latitude. total 61 were detected 40 not previously known. Most objects are longitudes |$( -{5}^{\circ }...
The pulmonary changes produced in mice given bleomycin intraperitoneally (twice weekly for 4 weeks, total dose 240 mg/kg) were examined by light and electron microscopy. Bleomycin damaged the vessels type I pneumocyte necrosis, resulting non-uniform fibrosis. sequence of events leading to fibrosis may be arbitrarily divided into three phases: firstly, a focal perivascular lesion consisting interstitial oedema with plasma cell lymphocyte infiltration; followed middle proliferative phase...
Climate risks pose a threat to the function of global food system and therefore also hazard financial sector, stability governments, security health world’s population. This paper presents method assess plausible impacts an agricultural production shock potential materiality for insurers. A hypothetical, near-term, plausible, extreme scenario was developed based upon modules historical shocks, linked under warm phase El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) meteorological framework. The included...
Human civilisation has undergone a continuous trajectory of rising sociopolitical complexity since its inception; trend which dramatic recent acceleration. This phenomenon resulted in increasingly severe perturbation the Earth System, manifesting recently as global-scale effects such climate change. These create an increased risk global ‘de-complexification’ (collapse) event could undergo widespread reversal. ‘Nodes persisting complexity’ are geographical locations may experience lesser from...
A case of pulmonary blastoma is described in a man dying at the age 50 from hepatic and cerebral metastases. Eleven previously reported cases are reviewed histogenesis discussed. It concluded that these rare tumours distinct form carcinosarcoma which epithelial element an adenocarcinoma. this gives it its characteristic probably coincidental histological resemblance to foetal lung evidence for blastomatous origin regarded as insufficient.
This perspective critically assesses how the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) could facilitate a closer alignment of its activities and include lessons drawn from policy decision-making communities working ground at regional/local levels. The objective is to practitioner input into detailed choice topics priorities for IPCC review in conclusions (we define practitioners as those engaged development application practical responses climate change ground). By means series...
To date, international processes associated with sustainable development have not led to an internationally legally binding framework that adequately addresses the challenges we face. Human influence on planet has adoption, although universally accepted, of term Anthropocene define our new relationship nature. This paper aims look at role and rule law in making society and, more importantly, arguments for a shift paradigm from Anthropocentric ontology Earth-centered one. We critique current...
We investigate the use of wavelet transforms in detecting and characterizing non-Gaussian structure maps cosmic microwave background (CMB). apply method to simulated Kaiser—Stebbins effect resulting from strings, on which Gaussian signals varying amplitudes are superposed. find that significantly outperforms standard techniques based measuring moments pixel temperature distribution. also compare results with those obtained using Minkowski functionals, we again be superior. In particular,...
We present a new puzzle involving Galactic microwave emission and attempt to resolve it. On one hand, cross-correlation analysis of the Wisconsin Hα Mapper map with Tenerife 10 15 GHz maps shows that well-known DIRBE correlated cannot be dominated by free-free emission. other recent high-resolution observations in 8-10 range Green Bank 140 foot telescope Finkbeiner et al. failed find corresponding 8 σ signal would expected simplest spinning-dust models. So what physical mechanism is causing...
