Using climax thinking to understand psychological drivers of attitudes towards two coastal climate adaptations around the hypertidal Bay of Fundy.

Hybrid Nanocomposite Thin Films for Photovoltaic Applications: A Review

Continuing growth in global energy consumption and the growing concerns regarding climate change and environmental pollution are the strongest drivers of renewable energy deployment. Solar energy is the most abundant and cleanest renewable ...

Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Systems

The use of fossil fuels has contributed to climate change and global warming, which has led to a growing need for renewable and ecologically friendly alternatives to these. It is accepted that renewable energy sources are the ideal option t...

Classical Biological Control of Invasive Legacy Crop Pests: New Technologies Offer Opportunities to Revisit Old Pest Problems in Perennial Tree Crops

Advances in scientific disciplines that support classical biological control have provided “new tools” that could have important applications for biocontrol programs for some long-established invasive arthropod pests. We suggest that these ...

Three-Dimensional Physical and Optical Characteristics of Aerosols over Central China from Long-Term CALIPSO and HYSPLIT Data

Aerosols greatly influence global and regional atmospheric systems, and human life. However, a comprehensive understanding of the source regions and three-dimensional (3D) characteristics of aerosol transport over central China is yet to be...

A general theory of glacier surges

We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets. Enthalpy (in the form of thermal energy and water) is gained at the glacier bed ...

Effects of industrialization on Tanzania’s economic growth: a case of manufacturing sector

Abstract This article examines the impact of industrialization on economic growth in Tanzania focusing on the drivers of structural changes in the manufacturing sector. We apply the vector error correction model based on a parsimonious mode...

Variation Characteristics of Annual Baseflow at Different Frequencies in Upper Yangtze River Using a Digital Filtering Method

[Objective] Addressing critical gaps in understanding the Upper Yangtze River Basin (UYRB) baseflow dynamics is essential for regional water security and ecological sustainability. This study presents the first comprehensive multi-station a...

Modeling Rare Species Distribution at the Edge: The Case for the Vulnerable Endemic Pyrenean Desman in France

The endemic Pyrenean Desman (Galemys pyrenaicus) is an elusive, rare, and vulnerable species declining over its entire and narrow range (Spain, Portugal, France, and Andorra). The principal set of conservation measures in France is a 5-year...

Artificial intelligence literacy and innovative behavior among clinical nurses: the roles of AI self-efficacy and organizational innovation climate.

The effect of universal health coverage on pollution induced mortality across 91 countries

Abstract This study investigates the mitigating role of universal healthcare coverage (UHC) in reducing mortality from air pollution, focusing on deaths caused by particulate matter pollution (PMP) and ambient ozone pollution (AOP) across 9...

Carbon dioxide uptake in a eutrophic stratified reservoir: Freshwater carbon sequestration potential

Carbon capture and storage due to photosynthesis activities has been proposed as a carbon sink to mitigate climate change. To enhance such mitigation, previous studies have shown that freshwater lakes should be included in the carbon sink, ...

Non-state actor perceptions of legitimacy and meaningful participation in international climate governance

Abstract There is a lively debate about the legitimacy of the international climate regime, as represented by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the quality of non-state actor participation in the regime. This co...

Uncertainties in the effects of organic aerosol coatings on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations and their estimated health effects

We used the CAM5 model to examine how different particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degradation approaches affect the spatial distribution of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). Three approaches were evaluated: NOA (no effect of OA coati...

Work as the missing link in Europe's Climate and Health Strategic Research Agenda.

Climate-Driven Oceanographic Changes Shape Larval Dispersal Success in the Southern Ocean.

The Investigation of Impact of Complement Policy for Energy Price Policy Reform on Transport Sector in Iran by Computable General Equilibrium

With regard to the ever-increasing need for energy in current societies to satisfy various requirements, scientists and researchers from different countries, such as Iran, have a basic approach in their agenda to achieve renewable energies،...

Research on a Comprehensive Performance Analysis Method for Building-Integrated Photovoltaics Considering Global Climate Change

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) represent a pivotal technology for enhancing the utilization of renewable energy in buildings. However, challenges persist, including the lack of integrated design models, limited analytical dimensi...

The impact of globalization and climate change on Trichinella spp. epidemiology

The main reservoir hosts of nematodes of the genus Trichinella are wild carnivores, although most human infections are caused by the consumption of pork. This group of zoonotic parasites completes the entire natural life cycle within the ho...
