ph. Northern fulmar. Beth Clark, Author provided Elizabeth Pearmain, University of Cambridge and Bethany Clark, BirdLife International Seabirds are one of the world’s most threatened animal groups. They already contend with multiple issues, including climate change, accidental capture in fishing gear and being eaten by invasive species like cats and some rodents. But
New research using real-world data casts doubt on the energy efficiency of diesel alternatives that come from phytoplankton. Biofuels made from algae have had their time in the sun, with years of highly publicized investments from fossil fuel companies, such as Exxon and Chevron, and studies showing potential for the energy source to
Infodemic is a neologism of ‘information’ and ‘epidemic’ coined in the year 2003. Evidence mapping is a technique to appraise the literature which enables the extent of research activity in a specific area to be discovered. The main objective of this evidence synthesis presents the outcomes of an evidence map that was directed

Burnout syndrome is included by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the International Classification of Diseases, and it has a direct impact on the health of workers and also on the performance of companies. In this work, we propose a comprehensive methodology for evaluating work stress and burnout in various occupations within a
New research found that most Australian shallow reef species, including fish, corals, seaweeds and invertebrates, experienced population declines over a decade, mainly in response to warming events driven by human-induced climate change. While scientists recorded species decline across Australian waters, some of the most pronounced changes occurred on the temperate reefs of southern
by Clark Merrefield, The Journalist’s Resource In most U.S. jurisdictions, an arrest by police does not necessarily lead to criminal charges, especially for low-level offenses. Government prosecutors often have broad discretion over whether and how to charge those arrested, based on evidence law enforcement personnel present them. New research in the Quarterly Journal

Social affiliation is one of the building blocks that shapes cultures and communities. This motivation contributes to the development of social bonding among individuals within a group, enjoying rights, assuming obligations, and strengthening its identity. Evidence has shown that social affiliation has inspired different social phenomena, such as wars, political movements, social struggles,
This paper presents an experimental platform for regulating the DC motor angular speed powered by photovoltaic cells. The experimental platform comprises an Eco Green Energy EGE-260P-60 solar panel, DC/DC SEPIC converter, DC bus, DC/DC buck converter, DC motor and Nexys 4 board with an Artix-7 100T FPGA. The DC/DC SEPIC converter is used
