An Investigation of the Repeatability of Nonrigid Parts Measurements: A Case Study of an Aluminum Panel
Abstract Nonrigid parts are traditionally mounted on over-constrained holding fixtures during inspection in order to support the part and maintain an acceptable level of measurements repeatability and reproducibility. The fixture's over-constrained...

Seasonal patterns of rainfall and river isotopic chemistry in northern Amazonia (Guyana): From the headwater to the regional scale
Abstract We use first field-based observations of precipitation and river isotopic chemistry from a three-year study (2009–2011) in rainforest and nearby savannah in central Guyana at the northern rim of the Amazon rainforest to establish the...

A review and application of the evidence for nitrogen impacts on ecosystem services
Abstract Levels of reactive nitrogen (N) in the atmosphere have declined by around 25% in Europe since 1990. Ecosystem services provide a framework for valuing N impacts on the environment, and this study provides a synthesis of evidence for...

Long-run marginal CO2 emissions factors in national electricity systems
Abstract Estimates of the magnitude of CO2 emissions reduction brought about by an intervention in the energy system are important because they signal which interventions are the most potent in terms of climate change mitigation. Yet quantifying...

Flue Gas Injection for CO2 Storage and Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery: Mixed Gas Sorption and Swelling Characteristics of Coals
Abstract The impact of coal pore structure on adsorption-induced matrix swelling of three coals of different ranks was investigated experimentally. The swelling strain measurements for the selected samples of the two higher rank coals suggested that ...
