Green Belts are agents of change trained in Lean Six Sigma methodologies and as such, can implement high-impact projects. After completing this certification course, participants will be able to apply Lean Six Sigma to a...

This book offers a holistic yet diverse perspective on how tourism destinations are facing three interrelated and critical challenges: the uncertainty created by COVID-19 and its subsequent effects; digitalization proces...

A primary component of the observed recent climate change is the radiative forcing from increased concentrations of long‐lived greenhouse gases (LLGHGs). Effective simulation of anthropogenic climate change by general ...

The Working Group I contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a comprehensive assessment of the physical science basis of climate change. It considers in...

Summary for policymakers Technical summary 1. The climate system - an overview 2. Observed climate variability and change 3. The carbon cycle and atmospheric CO2 4. Atmospheric chemistry and greenhouse gases 5. Aerosols,...

This paper is based on the elementary remark that the extraction of gauge invariant results from a formally gauge invariant theory is ensured if one employs methods of solution that involve only gauge covariant quantitie...

This article addresses the centrality of the self-efficacy mechanism in human agency. Self-per- cepts of efficacy influence thought patterns, actions, and emotional arousal. In causal tests the higher the level of induce...

The tapestry of life on Earth is unraveling as humans increasingly dominate and transform natural ecosystems. Scarce resources and dwindling time force conservationists to target their actions to stem the loss of biodive...

This book addresses the conundrums of bringing the voices of the non-human into criminal justice deliberations and specifically, ERJ processes. The non-human has much to say, but who is listening? They have much to tell,...

A single cell clonal line which responds reversibly to nerve growth factor (NGF) has been established from a transplantable rat adrenal pheochromocytoma. This line, designated PC12, has a homogeneous and near-diploid chr...

Abstract Black carbon aerosol plays a unique and important role in Earth's climate system. Black carbon is a type of carbonaceous material with a unique combination of physical properties. This assessment provides an eva...
