This paper analysed adoption of cloud computing in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the context of a developing country. The study explored how context of HEIs in dimensions of technology, organisation and environmental may affect adoption of cloud computing. Technology, Organisation and Environment (TOE) was used as a theoretical lens in the study. Qualitative and quantitative data was ...

The interaction of newly formed stars with their parent cloud, particularly in the case of massive stars, can have significant consequences for the subsequent development of the cloud. Hot, massive stars will cause cloud disruption through their ionizing flux as well as through the momentum in their stellar winds. Yet, given the right conditions in the cloud, stellar winds may also cause the co...

[1] The indirect radiative forcing of atmospheric aerosols is sensitive to particle size and concentration, which are influenced significantly by nucleation processes. Via its role in aerosol formation, cosmic ray may affect the cloud condensation nuclei abundance and hence the global cloud properties and climate. Systematic variations in ionization rates due to the modulation of cosmic ray rad...

The current understanding of aqueous secondary organic aerosol (aqSOA) formation is based largely on laboratory investigations of very simple surrogate cloud water solutions that aid mechanistic understanding of aqueous oxidation but may not accurately reflect the influence of the complex ambient matrix present in authentic cloud waters on organic chemistry. In this study, unaltered ambient clo...
