Paleoclimate data show that climate sensitivity is ~3°C for doubled CO 2 , including only fast feedback processes. Equilibrium sensitivity, including slower surface albedo feedbacks, is ~6°C for doubled CO 2 for the range of climate states between glacial conditions and icefree Antarctica

High level waste (HLW) partitioning concept includes separation of a long-lived fraction following by its immobilization in ceramics. Improved process flow sheet suggested for implementation at PA “Mayak ” implies production of a long-lived HLW fraction with rare earth elements (REE) as major

for heterogeneity in exit rates related to the fund's vintage year timing (and hence subsequent exit market conditions). See Section IV.C for company-level models that control explicitly for exit market conditions. 18 spirit of their results, we find that funds subsequently perform significantly worse the more

The World Health Organisation estimates that the warming and precipitation trends due to anthropogenic climate change of the past 30 years already claim over 150,000 lives annually. Many prevalent human diseases are linked to climate fluctuations, from cardiovascular mortality and respiratory

Abstract Public early intervention programs like Head Start are often justified as investments in children. Yet nothing is known about the long-term effects of Head Start. This paper draws on unique data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to provide new evidence on the effects of Head Start

Previous papers (1, 2) have described the apparatus and technique used by the authors in prolonged experiments upon the effects of high oxygen tensions on rats. The structural changes produced in the lungs of animals living in an environment having a high oxygen tension, particularly those

-hollow microtopography dominated by peat moss (Sphagnum spp.), with some mixed feather mosses in drier areas. The living moss overlay a 2-10 cm thick layer of dead moss, which in turn overlay dense acidic peat. Away from hummocks the soil was generally anaerobic and waterlogged. There was no permafrost at this site

-eruptive magma temperatures and pressures were in the range of 875–900°C and 2 ± 0.5 kbar, respectively. The estimated average eruption rate was 7.5 × 10−4 km3/a with an average volume of about 0.3 km3 per eruption. An analytical model for a spherical magma chamber indicates that a magma flux of 4–5 × 10−4 km3/a
