The carbon dioxide removal gap by Lamb, WF, Gasser, T, Roman-Cuesta, RM, Grassi, G, Gidden, MJ, Powis, CM, Geden, O, Nemet, G, Pratama, Y, Riahi, K, Smith, SM, Steinhauser, J, Vaughan, NE, Smith, HB, Minx, JC

“…However, the most ambitious proposals for CDR are close to levels in a low-energy demand scenario with the most-limited CDR scaling and aggressive near-term emissions reductions. Further, we observe that many countries propose to expand land-based removals, but none yet commit to substantively scaling novel methods such as bioenergy carbon capture and storage, biochar or direct air carbon capture and storage.…”

Feasibility of healthcare providers' autonomic activation recognition in real-life cardiac surgery using noninvasive sensors by Kennedy-Metz, Lauren R., Bizzego, Andrea, Dias, Roger D., Furlanello, Cesare, Esposito, Gianluca, Zenati, Marco A.

“…A heightened SNS response by the attending anesthesiologist, observed as an LF/HF ratio value of 3.39, was detected prior to the near-miss event. The attending anesthesiologist confirmed a state of significant SNS activity/distress induced by task-irrelevant environmental factors, which led to a temporarily ineffective mental model. …”

Same data, different analysts: variation in effect sizes due to analytical decisions in ecology and evolutionary biology by Gould, E, Fraser, HS, Parker, TH, Nakagawa, S, Griffith, SC, Vesk, PA, Fidler, F, Hamilton, DG, Abbey-Lee, RN, Abbott, JK, Aguirre, LA, Alcaraz, C, Aloni, I, Altschul, D, Arekar, K, Atkins, JW, Atkinson, J, Baker, CM, Barrett, M, Bell, K, Bello, SK, Beltrán, I, Berauer, BJ, Bertram, MG, Wood, A

“…For the blue tit analyses, the average effect was convincingly negative, with less growth for nestlings living with more siblings, but there was near continuous variation in effect size from large negative effects to effects near zero, and even effects crossing the traditional threshold of statistical significance in the opposite direction. …”
