In this short Briefing Paper we consider a number of issues in response to the Draft Tasmanian Renewable Hydrogen Action Plan, published November 2019. Our research team has been exploring the potential role renewable hydrogen could play in bolstering Australia’s and Tasmania’s energy autonomy and energy security. We are a social science research team, comprising expertise in law, industrial econo

This report is a synthesis analysis to a project that has been carried out within the collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (Förnybara drivmedel och system), Project no. 40771-1, Environmental and Socio-Economic Benefits from Swedish Biofuel Produc- tion.

Given the current hype around artificial intelligence (AI) in health, it is not surprising that we are seeing the well-established role and power of future visions being played out by a range of actors in the area. One example is the surge in the adoption of national AI strategies (NASs). NASs have a structuring function, justifying current political decisions as well as (re)framing the conditions

Historically, since its inception in the late 1930s, the album cover has been an important platform for visual creativity that has enabled creators such as artists, illustrators, photographers and designers to experiment with different styles and concepts. The democratization of art through the album cover aims to analyze how this form of artistic expression has and continues to contribute as a me

This letter provides a safety analysis for emergencybraking scenarios involving consecutive vehicles. The vehicles useadaptive cruise control (ACC) with a constant-distance policytogether with additional vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communicationfor emergency braking. We provide explicit formulas describinghow the minimum safe inter-vehicle distance (IVD), for avoidingrear-end collision, can be shorte

Childhood stunting is a serious public health concern in Rwanda. Although stunting causes have been documented, we still lack a more in-depth understanding of their local factors at a more detailed geographic level. We cross-sectionally examined 615 height-for-age prevalence observations in the Northern Province of Rwanda, linked with their related covariates, to explore the spatial heterogeneity

Solar energy is an important source of clean energy to combat climate change issues that motivate the establishment of solar farms. Establishing solar farms has been considered a proper alternative for energy production in countries like Mozambique, which need reliable and clean sources of energy for sustainable development. However, selecting proper sites for creating solar farms is a function of
