Immunotherapy plus radiotherapy: the next big opportunity in radiation oncology?

Physics World

In short: the potential for immunotherapy agents to scale the regional efficacy of radiation treatment, while on the flip-side localized radiation acts as an adjuvant for immunotherapy of solid tumours and lymphomas. The US researchers determined that “a single radiation fraction delivered 0.5 A winning combination.

AR6 of the best

Real Climate

Don’t mention the hiatus: Readers will probably remember the prominence of the ‘hiatus’ in the discussions around the AR5 report (written in 2013) (see here , here , or here ). and other things worth noting – for instance, the much better and more direct graphics that they have clearly worked on a lot.

Solar polarization paradox resolved at last

Physics World

The current polarization puzzle originated in 1996, when astrophysicists Jan Stenflo of ETH Zurich in Switzerland and Christoph Keller (then at the US National Solar Observatory in Arizona) used an instrument called ZIMPOL (Zurich Imaging Polarimeter) to study solar radiation at a wavelength of around 589nm.

A deep dive into the IPCC’s updated carbon budget numbers

Real Climate

And since the first IPCC estimates published in 2013, we have learned a lot and have gotten much better at estimating remaining carbon budgets. IPCC reported carbon budgets for the first time in 2013. in 2018, but they represent a significant update since AR5 in 2013. In the 2018 IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C

A distraction due to errors, misunderstanding and misguided Norwegian statistics

Real Climate

The most important problem with the sun-climate explanation is that there has been no long-term change in either solar activity or cosmic radiation over the last hundred years that can explain the global warming we are now seeing.

The Evolving Legal Landscape for Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal

Law Columbia

But, in 2013, the parties to the LP adopted an amendment that is intended to be. The 2013 amendment has not yet entered into force. In June this year, a legal committee appointed to advise the LC and LP parties on marine geoengineering issued a draft statement on the 2013 amendment.
