Abstract Background and aims Recent large studies have established the genetic basis of several conceptually linked phenotypes of externalizing. Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for these constructs are associated with a range of substance use and mental disorder phenotypes but have not been examined with both pharmacological and non‐pharmacological ...

Carbon costs of different pathways for reducing fire hazard in the Sierra Nevada
Abstract Restoring a low‐intensity, frequent‐fire regime in fire‐prone forests offers a promising natural climate solution. Management interventions that include prescribed fire and/or mechanical treatments have effectively reduced fire hazards in the Western United States, yet concerns remain regarding their impact on forest carbon storage. This study

Environmental Impacts of Diverting Crop Residues to Fuel Use [PDF]
Shortage of fuel wood has lead many rural people to switch to using agricultural residues as an alternative energy source. However this has not always been met with universal acclaim due to the role of residues as fertilisers.

Pressure Gain Combustion Power Plant Analysis and Cycle Thermo-Economic Optimisation [PDF]
The urgency of combating climate change has accelerated the push for next-generation power plant technologies. Gas turbines operating on the conventional Joule or Brayton cycle are widely used in electricity production due to their high power density ...

The ocean carbon sink – impacts, vulnerabilities and challenges [PDF]
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is, next to water vapour, considered to be the most important natural greenhouse gas on Earth. Rapidly rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations caused by human actions such as fossil fuel burning, land-use change or cement production ...

Abstract The Great Acceleration is defined as a series of unprecedented, global human‐driven changes that occurred across socio‐economic and natural compartments of the Earth system after 1950. Among the observed changes, increase in fossil fuel burning has led to a significant accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.

Computational modeling of dynamic injector response in a Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE)
Rotating Detonation Engines (RDEs) are a form of pressure gain combustion (PGC), offering a promising approach to increase the thermodynamic efficiency of a gas turbine combustor by utilizing a detonation-driven combustion process. In most RDEs, fuel and

Inverse modeling of CO2 sources and sinks using satellite data: a synthetic inter-comparison of measurement techniques and their performance as a function of space and time [PDF]
Currently two polar orbiting satellite instruments measure CO2 concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere, while other missions are planned for the coming years.
