The l so /160 ratio in atmospheric CO~ is a signal dominated by the processes by which the global land biosphere absorbs and respires COs. Potentially it makes it possible to separate the photosynthesis from the total ecosystem respiration provided that leaf COs and soil COs have different isotopic signatures, that the air-sea exchange is correctly treated and that the isotopic value of anthrop...

This article contributes to understanding unique forms of actor constellations and their tactics in fostering institutional interaction. It explores interaction processes between the human rights climate regime, more specifically, incorporation 2015 Paris agreement. During negotiations, an inter-constituency alliance comprised environmental movements, organizations, gender activists, indigenous...

To examine modelling of outcomes relevant to sun protection in Australian women's magazines, content analysis was performed on 538 spring and summer issues of popular women's magazines from 1987 to 2005. A total of 4949 full-colour images of Caucasian females were coded for depth of tan, extent of clothing cover, use of shade and setting. Logistic regression using robust standard errors to adju...

Quantifying and understanding the uncertainty in isotopic mixing relationships is critical to isotopic applications in carbon cycle studies at all spatial and temporal scales. Studies that depend on stable isotope approaches must also address quantification of uncertainty for parameters derived from isotopic studies. An important application of isotopic mixing relationships is determination of ...

19 During sensorimotor learning, tonically active neurons (TANs) in the striatum acquire bursts 20 and pauses in their firing based on the salience of the stimulus. Striatal cholinergic interneurons 21 display tonic intrinsic firing, even in the absence of synaptic input, that resembles TAN activity 22 seen in vivo. But whether there are other striatal neurons among the group identified as TANs...

The dielectric constants and loss tangents of KRS-5 and KRS-6 thallium halide mixed crystals have been measured at 95 GHz using both the shorted wavegnide (SWG) reflection method and the Fabry-Perot (F-P) transmission method on samples filfing standard WR-10 waveguide. The results—KRS-S C: = 31, tan8= 1.8x 10-2; KRS-6 c;= 29, tans = 2 X 10– z —agree reasonably well with a simple theoretical fit...

Using cross-sectional survey data from Brisbane, Australia, this study identifies prevalence and factors associated with indoor tanning in office workers. Over 12-months, 72/2867 (2.5%) survey participants used solaria. Twenty-eight sunbed users (39%) tanned outdoors and used spray-tans and 42 (58%) reported burns after indoor tanning. Results from regression modelling suggests the strongest pr...

T he rise of melanoma in young women, particularly manifesting in trunk skin, suggests deliberate UV radiation (UVR) exposure as a plausible cause. Sunless tanning products (STPs), including lotions, spray-on tans, and bronzers, impart a tanned appearance. The role of STPs as substitutes to indoor tanning (IT) remains largely uncharacterized among indoor tanners. The objective of this study was...
