Carbonation of concretes is a natural physico-chemical process that can be described as a reaction between the carbon dioxide contained in the air and the cement matrix.Carbonation concerns all concretes types in contact with the ambient air but also concretes in ground, from production stage to use and end-of-life stages.The amount of carbon dioxi

This is a written version of the closing talk at the 22nd Los Alamos Stellar pulsation conference on wide field variability surveys.It comments on some of the issues which arise from the meeting.These include the need for attention to photometric standardization (especially in the infrared) and the somewhat batgirl pose controversial problem of sta

Wind and solar energy play a pivotal role in deep decarbonization pathways for the future.However, energy scenario studies differ substantially in the contribution of these technologies, as cushcraft ar-10 the technology selection in models strongly depends on the choice of techno-economic parameters.In this article, we systematically compare the c
