Rethinking Climate Change on the Role of Human Power Generation, Alternative Perspectives, Potential Solutions, and a Plea for Action

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
All energy matters Let us broaden the discussion on solutions to climate change. Greenhouse gases have upset the delicate equilibrium of the Earth's energy balance. Consequently, all sources of heat affect the temperature of the Earth. Although the amount of additional heat generated by humans is a fraction of that produced by the sun, it is generated ...

Environment and self-regulation in galaxy formation [PDF]

, 2010
The environment is known to affect the formation and evolution of galaxies considerably best visible through the well-known morphology–density relationship.

Investigation on tunnel stability considering pipe‐roof support with transparent soil technology

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates transparent soil technology, 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation to captures the full‐field deformation of shield tunnel instability. Results demonstrate that pipe‐roof support enhances stability via the “soil‐arching barrier effect,” effectively restraining failure wedge development by extending stress transfer paths ...

Studying Cosmic Evolution with the XMM-Newton Distant Cluster Project [PDF]

, 2007
Investigating X-ray luminous galaxy clusters at high redshift (z>~1) provides a challenging but fundamental constraint on evolutionary studies of the largest virialized structures in the Universe, the baryonic matter component in form of the hot ...

The star formation history of early-type galaxies in the fornax cluster [PDF]

, 1998
We have measured central line strengths and line-strength gradients for a complete sample of early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster, comprising 11 elliptical and 11 lenticular galaxies, more luminous than M(_B) = -17.

Switchable Privacy Displays: Applications, Optical Measurements, and Evaluation With Focus on Automotive

Journal of the Society for Information Display, EarlyView.
Switchable‐privacy displays can be used to protect sensitive data in public spaces and to avoid driver distraction on codriver displays. The key optical parameters are the luminance in public and privacy modes, measured over the viewing angle, and the image quality for the intended observers.

The Hot and Energetic Universe:The evolution of galaxy groups and clusters [PDF]

, 2013
Major astrophysical questions related to the formation and evolution of structures, and more specifically of galaxy groups and clusters, will still be open in the coming decade and beyond: what is the interplay of galaxy, supermassive black hole, and ...

Cis–Trans Rotational Isomerism of Formic Acid, Sulfur, and Selenium Analogues and Their Dimers: Chemical Kinetics Under Interstellar Conditions

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present chemical kinetic rate constants for the cis to trans isomerisation or rotamerization of monomeric seleno‐, thio‐, and formic acids and that of three of their dimeric species, based on variational transition state theory and multidimensional tunneling calculations in the gas‐phase, from 10 K to 300 K. These provide, firstly, reliable

Galaxy clustering and dynamics from redshift surveys [PDF]

, 1990
The clustering and dynamical properties of the 368 galaxies in the redshift surveys of Metcalfe et al. (1989) and Parker et al. (1986) are investigated. These galaxies were selected from ten high galactic latitude fields complete to a magnitude limit of ...

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.
