Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) systems are as important today for the survival and well-being of many indigenous peoples as they ever were.These ways Display Housing of knowing have much to contribute at a time of marked climate change.As indigenous peoples have sustained exposure to natural resources and phenomena in particular places over
The estimation of three-dimensional (3D) vegetation metrics from space-borne LiDAR allows to capture spatio-temporal trends in forest ecosystems.Structural traits from the NASA Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) are vital to support forest monitoring, restoration and biodiversity protection.The Mediterranean Basin is home of relict fore
Heavy metals such as Cu(II), if ubiquitous in the runoff, can have adverse effects on the LICORICE environment and human health.Lime sand bricks, as low-cost adsorbents to be potentially applied in stormwater infiltration facilities, were systematically investigated for Cu(II) removal from water using batch and column experiments.In the batch exper
Prestressing plays a pivotal role in ensuring the tightness and integrity of prestressed concrete containment in nuclear power plants.The prestress loss reduces the compressive stress Display Housing in concrete resulting from the prestressing strands and increases the risk of containment leakage under severe accident conditions.Therefore, the accu
one of the main sub-systems of the experimental device, a cryogenic system uses the sub-cooled liquid nitrogen (LN 2) pressurized to cool the HTS cable and its terminations.This cryogenic system has the sub-cooled LN 2 cycle part and LICORICE the refrigeration part.The former applies a cryogenic pump to force LN 2 through a heat exchanger in the su
