What's in the Bin? A Waste Audit of an Australian Tertiary Ear, Nose and Throat Outpatient Clinic
ABSTRACT Background Healthcare contributes 4.4% of global emissions. Climate change contributes to vector‐borne diseases, food insecurity and morbidity and mortality associated with extreme weather. Ear, nose and throat (ENT) outpatient clinics are particularly resource intensive, yet their environmental impact has not been quantified.

Low GWP Refrigerants for Air Conditioning Applications
Refrigerants with low environmental impact have been developed as replacements for R22 and R410A in air conditioning applications. L-20 and L-41 have been evaluated in representative residential equipment. This study discusses the performance at high ambient temperatures (warm climate) and potential design changes.

ABSTRACT Climate change‐driven heat and drought stresses during reproductive stages significantly threaten wheat productivity. To investigate the genetic and physiological basis of combined heat–drought (HD) tolerance, we evaluated 345 wheat genotypes under three environments of HD stresses, non‐stress glasshouse conditions and a late‐sowing field ...

The Mental Health of the Young in Eastern Europe and Central Asia
ABSTRACT We report on the wellbeing of the young in twenty‐eight countries located in Eastern Europe and Central Asia including fifteen post‐Soviet countries. We find no evidence of the decline in the mental health of the young relative to older people, which characterizes Western Europe and English‐speaking advanced economies. The mental health of the

Abstract This mixed‐methods study examines the experience of the impostor phenomenon in a racially/ethnically and sexually diverse sample of undergraduates in majors related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Guided by an intersectionality framework, we examined whether experiences of the impostor phenomenon differ at the ...

Properties of Polyol Esters for Low GWP Refrigerants
HFC (Hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerants, whose ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) is 0, are used in refrigeration and air conditioning equipments recently. It is known that HFCs are high GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants. In October 2016, Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol was stated to achieve the phase-down of HFC refrigerants to prevent ...
