Dendrochronological research project

This project studies contaminant levels in caribou and moose in the Canadian Arctic to determine if the animal populations remain healthy, whether these important resources remain safe and healthy food choices for northerners, and to see if contaminant levels are changing over time. Monitoring populations across the Arctic will also give scientists a better understanding of the distribution of contaminants in the Arctic and the variability of contaminant burdens with populations. Studies in the Yukon have found that cadmium levels in moose and caribou liver and kidney and mercury in caribou kidneys are high, and that mercury levels may be changing over time in some herds. Although studies have confirmed that traditional foods are safe to eat at the estimated consumption rates, they recommend that a trend-monitoring program be established to verify that the levels are not rising from local or long-range inputs and that new contaminants be addressed as they arise. Under the Arctic Moose and Caribou program, the Porcupine (Yukon Territory) and Qamanirjuaq (Nunavut) herds were sampled each year, while the following were sampled once every five years: Bathurst, Bluenose East, Beverly, Dolphin & Union, George River and Tay caribou, Yukon and Deh Cho moose. This program ended in March, 2010. After that time, only the Porcupine and Qamanirjuaq caribou was sampled annually (see record 12007 for more information). Moose and caribou kidneys have been analyzed for a suite of elements and livers for a variety of organic compounds.

Deze dienstplichtig soldaat van de Koninklijke Landmacht is tijdens zijn hele uitzending naar Nieuw Guinea in Kaimana gelegerd geweest en heeft in de jungle tientallen patrouilles gelopen en regelmatig gevochten. Er zijn veel Indonesiërs gesneuveld en krijgsgevangen genomen, vertelt deze man. Indonesische militairen bleken vaak fout voorgelicht; ze dachten dat ze in een oefening zaten. De krijgsgevangenen werden op een vliegtuig naar het eiland Woendi gezet. Later is hij nog langs geweest bij de ouders van een gesneuvelde vriend. Er zijn Nederlanders gesneuveld door vijandelijk én eigen vuur. De auto's zijn na afloop van de missie de steiger af gereden en gedumpt, net als de munitie; verschepen kostte te veel.

In the Netherlands, consent from relatives is obligatory for post mortal donation. This study explored the perspectives of relatives regarding the request for consent for donation in cases without donor registration. The dataset contains the Secondary analysis of data of a group of relatives of eligible brain dead organ donors. Results Relatives of unregistered, brain-dead patients usually refuse consent for donation, even if they harbour pro-donation attitudes themselves, or knew that the deceased favoured organ donation. Half of those who refused consent for donation mentioned afterwards that it could have been an option. The decision not to consent to donation is attributed to contextual factors, such as feeling overwhelmed by the notification of death immediately followed by the request; not being accustomed to speaking about death; inadequate support from other relatives or healthcare professionals , and lengthy procedures.

Dendrochronological research project

Project: IPCC Assessment Report 5 and Coupled Model Intercomparison Project data sets - These data belong to two projects: 1) to the Assessment Report No 5 of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-AR5) and 2) to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project No 5 (CMIP5). CMIP5 is executed by the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) on behalf of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). Most of the data is replicated between the three data nodes at the World Data Centre for Climate (WDCC), the British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC), and the PCMDI. The project embraces the simulations with about 30 climate models of about 20 institutes worldwide. Summary: decadal1985 is an experiment of the CMIP5 - Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 ( http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/ ). CMIP5 is meant to provide a framework for coordinated climate change experiments for the next five years and thus includes simulations for assessment in the AR5 as well as others that extend beyond the AR5. 1.1 decadal1985 (1.1 10-year hindcast/prediction initialized in year 1985) - Version 1: The atmospheric composition (and other conditions) should be prescribed as in the historical run (expt. 3.2) and the RCP4.5 scenario (expt. 4.1) of the long-term suite of experiments. Ocean initial conditions should be in some way representative of the observed anomalies or full fields for the start date. Land, sea-ice and atmosphere initial conditions are left to the discretion of each group.
