The physical signifance of the function ϵ (iξ) for a dielectric material is discussed together
with the rationale for the construction of ϵ (iξ) from dielectric data. The utility of refractive …

The classical electrochemistry of the electrical double layer appropriate to materials that
operate as electrodes is shown to be a limiting description for non-electrode materials such …

The equations which govern the ion distributions and velocities, the electrostatic potential
and the hydrodynamic flow field around a solid colloidal particle in an applied electric field …

Developing countries are required to produce robust estimates of forest carbon stocks for
successful implementation of climate change mitigation policies related to reducing …

The determination of the spring constants of atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilevers is of
fundamental importance to users of the AFM. In this paper, a fast and nondestructive method …

The Central African forests, the planet's second largest rainforest block, are key to global
environmental health. They influence climate change through their crucial role in carbon …

The response of terrestrial vegetation to a globally changing environment is central to
predictions of future levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide,. The role of tropical forests is …

Because rapidly expanding human populations have devastated gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) and
common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) habitats in East and West Africa, the relatively intact …

Structurally intact tropical forests sequestered about half of the global terrestrial carbon
uptake over the 1990s and early 2000s, removing about 15 per cent of anthropogenic …

The concentration or consolidation of suspensions of fine particles under the influence of a
gravitational field has been analysed. The rate and extent of consolidation depends upon a …
