Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation in the Semi-Arid Tropics
By: UP Los Baños Plenary talk by Dr. William D. Dar, Director General, International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT). Delivered during the International Conference on Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation for Food and Environmental Security, November 21-22, 2012 at SEARCA, UPLB, College, Laguna, Philippines.
The Economist asks: Anthony Scaramucci Anne McElvoy asks the former White House communications director whether Donald Trump is true to his base. They debate the wisdom of doing battle with the press, if the president’s lies matter and what a Democratic challenger in 2020 should learn from his populist style

The trio is set to launch in December to join their Expedition 34 crewmates -- Commander Kevin Ford and Flight Engineers Oleg Novitskiy and Evgeny Tarelkin-- who have been aboard the station since Oct. 25.
Fall 2012 Capstone Presentation - Group #1
On December 13th, students from the Fall Capstone class presented their projects. Taught this semester by Prof. Gavin Shatkin, the Capstone is a required course that all Master's students in the LPP and MURP programs take in their final semester. This semester's students worked with Street-Works and the City of Quincy on a plan for the redevelopment of the Quincy Center MBTA Station.

3.4 Self-assessment questions and problems Find |z| and Arg z in each of the following cases. Introduction This unit lays the foundations of the subject of mechanics. Mechanics is concerned with how and why objects stay put, and how and why they move. In particular, this unit – Modelling static problems – considers why objects stay put.
Please note that this unit assumes you have a good working knowledge of vectors. This is an adapted extract from the Open University course Author(s): First-order differential equations This unit introduces the topic of differential equations. The subject is developed without assuming that you have come across it before, but it is taken for granted that you have a basic grounding in calculus. In particular, you will need to have a good grasp of the basic rules for differentiation and integration. This unit is an adapted extract from the course Mathematical methods and Acknowledgements All materials included in this unit are derived from content originated at the Open University. 1.3: Summing vectors given in geometric form The following activity illustrates how the conversion
processes outlined in the preceding sections may come in useful. If
two vectors are given in geometric form, and their sum is sought in
the same form, one approach is to convert each of the vectors into
component form, add their corresponding components, and then convert
the sum back to geometric form. 1.2: Converting to geometric form You have seen how any vector given in geometric form, in
terms of magnitude and direction, can be written in component form.
You will now see how conversion in the opposite sense may be
achieved, starting from component form. In other words, given a

But how much is known about this bear, its habitat and life? This unit will talk about the role of language, but by way of introduction how about the name of this bear? To me it is the polar bear; to a German it is an Eisbär (ice bear) and to a French person it is an ours blanc (white bear). In these three examples the bear is referred to as polar, white, or an ice bear – eminently sensible. The Latin name for th Introduction The scientific theory of plate tectonics suggests that at least some of these Arctic lands were once tropical. Since then the continents have moved and ice has changed the landscape. This unit will concentrate on evidence from the last 800,000 years using information collected from ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, and will use this evidence to discuss current and possible future climate. The cores show that there have been nine periods in the recent past when large areas of the Earth 6.1 ‘I’, ‘we’ or ‘they’? We must abandon the conceit that individual, isolated, private actions are the answer. They can and do help. But they will not take us far enough without collective action. (Al Gore, 2007) There are some things that we can do as individuals: making this an energy-efficient house and making smart transport choices. Then there a 5.3 Moving towards a sustainable carbon footprint So far, you've been considering reductions in average individual or household carbon footprints by 20% to 30% or more. But it is becoming increasingly clear that this will not be enough. As I mentioned in Section 4, developed countries, like Britain, Germany and America, will have to reduce their CO2e emissions by 60% to 80% or more by 2050 to prevent climate change running out of control, while at the same time allowing the growing populations of Africa, India and China to r
