Are urban water bodies really cooling?

Cooling water for

ions from rivers will decrease in the coming decades, unless there is widespread uptake of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). CCS may prove to be essential if the UK is to achieve its carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emission targets. ‘Decarbonisation’ strategies that rely on CCS are therefore potentially at risk of not having sufficient cooling water in periods of low river flows. In t...

Roles Are Really Great!

We present a new role system for specifying changing referencing relationships of heap objects. The role of an object depends, in large part, on its aliasing relationships with other objects, with the role of each object changing as its aliasing relationships change. Roles therefore capture important object and data structure properties and provide useful information about how the actions of th...

Are Cannabinoids Really Analgesics?

Acute pain conditions: Only inconsistent data exist from controlled clinical trials with cannabinoids on acute pain. In the 80ies, two small-sized studies investigated the parenterally applied synthetic cannabinoid levonandradol in postoperative pain. Two other, more recent trials were performed with oral cannabinoids. Whereas in the smaller trial by Buggy et al. no significant analgesia was pr...
