During the 2000 field season, both regional and detailed till sampling surveys were conducted in the Cariboo region of central British Columbia (Figure 1). These surveys complement the longer term objectives of the NATMAP Ancient Pacific Margin (APM) project (see Nelson, 2000) and provide continuity to the surficial till geochemistry work initiated by Dixon-Warren and Hickin (2000) in 1999 as p...

T he good times are over in global health funding. After a decadelong surge, spending has plateaued—and the effects are being felt around the world. Investments in health for poor and middle-income countries began growing in the 1990s, then exploded after the turn of the century, as the graph below shows. Rich countries stepped up their donations, with much of the funding channeled through new ...

Climate solutions – nuclear vs sustainable pathways • Energy efficiency represents an economic bonanza, which will enable a significant share of energy demand to be provided by renewable sources and allowing nuclear power to be phased out. • The biggest single obstacle to improving energy efficiency is that in most countries, utilities are rewarded for selling more energy. We need to reward the...

The availability of large reserves of methane, which is the main component of most natural gas, makes it a very important feedstock molecule for the production of base chemicals (e.g. ethylene, propylene, and aromatics) and energy carriers (i.e. transportation fuels). More recently, the shale gas bonanza—particularly in the USA—as well as the presence of vast amounts of gas methane hydrates at ...

L ung cancer epidemics arose and spread in western countries when the tobacco industry created the manufactured cigarette and realised that nicotine addiction was the most adaptable way to increase and secure long-term sales [1]. In spite of well-known toxicity of tobacco smoke [2] and the proven relationship of tobacco smoking with lung cancer incidence [3], the tobacco industry took advantage...

A comprehensive review is provided of the electroweak polarization asymmetry at the Z”, a highly accurate measure of the 2’ coupling to fermions. Its significance as a precision test of the Standard Model is explored in detail. Empha.sized are the role of electroweak symmetry-breaking and radiative corrections; the nondecoupling of new physics beyond the 2’; and the testing of extensions of the...
