This paper documents levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCs) in coastal surface sediments from selected reference sites on the northern Atlantic Spanish coast. One hundred eight samples covering three estuaries in the Cantabrian Coast were sampled in 2006 and analyzed in the finer fraction (<63 μm) for 19 OCs by gas chromatography with electron capture detector after confirmation by mass spec...

The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) is an engineering marvel. AGC performed all of the necessary computation to successfully guide, navigate, and control spacecraft, which carried Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin surface moon back in 1969 as part 11 mission. Weighing at a staggering 32 kg featuring blazing-fast 2.048-MHz clock, it was first computer use silicon integrated circuits (ICs). Mankind has m...

This appendix explains the procedure for developing the pdf for climate sensitivity. The study began by reviewing the five probability density functions for equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) used in the IPCC AR5 that draw upon multiple lines of evidence. These are Aldrin et al. (2012), Libardoni and Forest (2013), Olsen et al. (2012), Annan and Hargreaves (2006), and Hegerl et al. (2006). T...

This article reports on the preparation of iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) supported in chitosan beads (Chi-EDGE-Fe) for removing aldrin from aqueous solutions. The FeNPs and Chi-EDGE-Fe were characterized by means scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS) techniques. TEM, XRD, MS showed that had co...
