Photosynthesis by terrestrial plants is the main driver of the global carbon cycle, and the presence of actively photosynthesizing vegetation can now be observed from space. However, challenges remain when translating remotely sensed data into carbon fluxes. One reason is that the Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR), which documents the presence of photosynthetically a

We discuss the sequence of developments that over the past 90 years led to current insights on heavy-element stability. The semi-empirical mass model, and its extension to deformed shapes, developed in the period 1936–1950 allowed the interpretation of nuclear fission. Around 1950 the spherical single-particle model was developed, soon after with extension to deformed nuclei. Speculations about a

MOD17A2 provides operational gross primary production (GPP) data globally at 1 km spatial resolution and 8-day temporal resolution. MOD17A2 estimates GPP according to the light use efficiency (LUE) concept assuming a fixed maximum rate of carbon assimilation per unit photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the vegetation (epsilon(max)). Minimum temperature and vapor pressure deficit derive
Background: Burns are a global public health concern, with the majority of the disease burden affecting low- and middle-income countries. Yet, as suggested by previous publications, there is a widespread belief that literature about burns in low- and middle-income countries is lacking. Therefore, we aimed to assess with a scoping review, the extent of the literature output on burns in East Africa,

Inter department coordination mechanism is one of the very important part in government management and it becomes a global trend.

This thesis examines how labour exploitation in Sicily’s tomato sector is legitimised through both the Italian labour migration policy and agri-food industry discourse. It argues that exploitation is not the result of policy failure, but rather a structural feature of capitalist agriculture, normalised through public and private narratives that present inherently exploitative labour relations as e
