Frequently Dry Waterways Still Contribute to Carbon Emissions

Objects with reduced visibility still contribute to size averaging.

People can rapidly judge the average size of a collection of objects with considerable accuracy. In this study, we tested whether this size-averaging process relies on relatively early object representations or on later object representations that have undergone iterative processing. We asked participants to judge the average size of a set of circles and, in some conditions, presented two addit...

Do Carbon Nanotubes contribute to Electrochemical Biosensing?

Carbon nanotubes have been attracting a lot of interest as electron transfer mediators to enhance electrochemical biosensing. The main reason behind this is usually recognized in terms of augmented electrochemical active surface area. The aim of this paper is to review other phenomena that occur at the electrochemical interface. Three distinct features of these phenomena mainly appear in electr...

Can Democracy Contribute to Prevent Famines in Dry Lands Africa?

It can be observed that the environmental focus on the climate change debate has ignored contribution of political factors in preventing famines. The question arises why famines occur much more frequently in some dry land areas than in others need to be answered satisfactorily. Can democracy contribute to prevent famines in dry land areas with adversely affected by climate change? As famine is ...

Carbon Emissions Scenarios for China to 2100

Please note that Tyndall working papers are "work in progress". Whilst they are commented on by Tyndallresearchers, they have not been subject to a full peer review. The accuracy of this work and the conclusions reached are the responsibility of the author(s) alone and not the Tyndall Centre.
