Cameroon: not ready for REDD+

TERS — Ready or Not ?

microscopy (SPM) for nano-scale imaging with confocal Raman spectroscopy for chemical characterization. Challenges with tip quality, optical alignment, consistency and speed, however, have made the technique difficult and complex. New instrumentation is addressing these challenges, allowing TERS to migrate from pure research to routine laboratory analysis. These systems provide correlated nano-...

Costs of Lost opportunities: Applying Non-Market Valuation Techniques to Potential REDD+ Participants in Cameroon

Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) has been systematically advanced within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). However, implementing REDD+ in a populated landscape requires information on local costs and acceptability of changed practices. To supply such information, many studies have adopted approaches that explore the opportunity cost of ma...

Annual universal influenza vaccination: ready or not?

Influenza causes annual worldwide epidemics of respiratory disease. Currently, the United States and many other countries recommend influenza vaccination for persons who are at high risk for influenza-related complications. This commentary explores the potential benefits of a policy advocating universal annual influenza vaccination and outlines obstacles that need to be overcome to make such a ...
