IS IT ALL ABOUT A SCIENCE-INFORMED DECISION? A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH TO THREE DIMENSIONS OF JUSTICE AND THEIR RELATION IN THE NUCLEAR WASTE REPOSITORY SITING PROCESS IN GERMANY

Nuclear waste management is a contested challenge that lasts for decades.Especially in Germany, the history of the usage of nuclear energy is conflictive and notions of justice are therefore omnipresent in the ongoing site selection process Alpine Wire Harness for a nuclear waste repository.Against the background of injustices caused by the deploym

Soil Moisture Deficit (SMD) is a key indicator of soil water content changes and is valuable to a variety of applications, such as weather and climate, natural disasters, agricultural water management, etc.Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) is a dedicated mission focused on soil moisture retrieval and can be utilized for SMD estimation.In this

Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been extensively used in the railway industry, with applications ranging from railway infrastructures to carbody shells.An SHM method that dominates monitoring procedures is Acoustic Emissions (AE).The utilisation of the AE method could use a significantly large amount of data, collected and forwarded to termi

Abstract Background In healthcare facilities, Clostridium difficile infections spread by transmission of bacterial spores.Appropriate sporicidal disinfectants are needed to prevent development of clusters and outbreaks.In this study different cleaning/disinfecting wipes and sprays were tested for their efficacy against spores of distinctive C.diffi

The rapid warming of the Arctic may affect the stability of coastal geomorphological systems.Prograded sequences of wave-built deposits, so-called beach-ridge systems, preserve a proxy record of the long-term variability in the drivers of coastal evolution.Information on relative sea level (RSL), climate forcing and sediment supply can be reconstru
