Winds of change?: Projections of near‐surface winds under climate change scenarios

The Winds of Change.

Distance learning and other modes of online instruction, such as those offering hybrid models, are closely linked to the manner that new technologies are tested, implemented and evaluated. This paper works from an understanding of where technologies supporting instruction have converged in 2002, and suggests that by taking an evolutionary view of technology we will improve the design of instruc...

The Winds of Change

According to a recent poll conducted by the Thomson Reuters Foundation, Pakistan is the third most dangerous country for women, preceded only by Afghanistan and the Congo.

Projections of temperature-related excess mortality under climate change scenarios

Background Climate change can directly affect human health by varying exposure to non-optimal outdoor temperature. However, evidence on this direct impact at a global scale is limited, mainly due to issues in modelling and projecting complex and highly heterogeneous epidemiological relationships across different populations and climates. Methods We collected observed daily time series of mean...
