Europe to Push Paris Climate Accord over Brink to Take Effect

Asters push embryonic nuclei to the brink

T he nuclei in an early insect embryo need personal space. Telley et al. reveal that microtubule asters help these standoffi sh nuclei maintain their distance, maneuvering them into position in order for development to continue (1). The early steps of insect development don’t follow the familiar pattern of repeated cell divisions. Before the formation of distinct cell membranes, early insect em...

Conservation biology. Ebola, hunting push ape populations to the brink.

Willingness to take action toward climate change in Agriculture Experts in Khuzestan Province.

Greenhouse emissions from agricultural as a consequence of human activities are causing climate change. Small changes in agricultural practices have a large potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Intention of Agriculture Experts in order to mitigation climate change Can play an important role in finding appropriate solutions for each region in climate change mitigation and deliver the...

Push-over analysis of concrete gravity dams due to flood inflow

This study numerically predicts the failure scenario of a cracked concrete gravity dam through a push-over nonlinear analysis. The mixed-mode Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) was employed using the extended finite element method (XFEM). The dam base was considered to be fully fixed without any foundation effects. The hydrostatic pressure on the dam's upstream face was increased incremen...

Will oncologists applaud the Paris Accord? Time to rethink global mega-conferences.

It is ironic that the signing of the Paris Accord1,2, on 12 December at the 21st United Nations Climate Change Conference, coincided with the last large-scale global oncology conference of 2015: the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. While international representatives from 195 nations met in Paris and pledged to limit global warming, more than 7500 conference attendees from more than 90 coun...
