ODOURMAP, AN ONLINE WEB BASED TOOL FOR FIELD OBSERVATION, RESIDENT PARTICIPATION, AND ODOUR COMMUNITY RELATIONS

Odourmap, an Online Web Based Tool for Field Observation, Resident Participation, and Odour Community Relations

In response to odour regulation for solid waste management installations in France a web based tool was developed to monitor odour impacts using volunteer community field panels, spontaneous resident observations and professional panels.This approach has been used for some time in France, and allows close monitoring of the impact of new waste manag

Net ecosystem exchange from two formerly afforested peatlands undergoing restoration in the Flow Country of northern Scotland

Northern peatlands are important in the global carbon (C) cycle as they help regulate local, regional and global C budgets through high atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake and low net CO2 losses to the atmosphere.Since the 1900s (but particularly the 1950s) land-use change has affected many peatland areas, driven in part by attempts to improve

From Relativistic to Quantum Universe: Observation of a Spatially-Discontinuous Particle Dynamics beyond Relativity

We perform an experimental test where we directly observe light-induced electron transitions with a macroscopic spatial discontinuity.The effect is related to the fundamental indivisibility of macroscopic orbit-like quantum states reminiscent of so-called extended states in the integer quantum Hall system.The test has become realizable due to the d

Successful implementation of a packed red blood cell and fresh frozen plasma transfusion protocol in the surgical intensive care unit.

Blood product transfusions are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.The purpose of this study was to determine if implementation of a restrictive protocol for packed red blood cell (PRBC) and fresh frozen plasma Candle Holders (FFP) transfusion safely reduces blood product utilization and costs in a surgical intensive care unit (SICU).
