What you are seeing is the online preview, August 2021 is when it appears in print. This kind of publishing is becoming more and more common, most likely to boost the journals impact factor (average number of citation within 2 years of publ

Unfortunately, that is what lots of people do not do. Noticed it recently with Vitamin D where everyone was like: "There is much deficiency, there are no down sites, let's all take it." And I was like: "Sure, there are p

I agree but think its also the variety. I once bought semigreen tomatoes in a supermarket in December in Italy and those turned out great after some ripening at home. But they were not the standard red tomatoes you would get everywhere else

I would actually argue no. Stuff you grow at home is never looking as good as from the store because worms, rain and so on. Strawberries or cherries that have been picked by birds, wasps or slugs are usually fully ripe. Although I agree, wh

The company SkySails developed a similar system (not inflatable though) around 2008-12 which reached projected fuel savings between 10-15%. Never fully comercialzed, likely due to similar problems as kite power generators. [ https:/&#x

I think that the open plain is what makes the Tempelhof Field what it is. If you want trees, Hasenheide is right next door, or you can go to any of the other forested areas. But for an really open place, there is no such place in the city.

Maybe I am a bit to critical or most people in Berlin central do not know this, but Tempelhof isn't even the mother of 'abandoned' airports in Berlin. That would be Johannisthal. Sure, it's even more abandoned so you bar

I am in East Berlin, so I certainly disagree. And most places in the East that are single family housing are nice anyways. For example, the borough Hellersdorf-Marzahn contains the big 12-level blocks of Hellersdorf, Marzahn and Kaulsdorf-N

Pardon me, but how is 100-120 sqm small? 60 sqm is small for 4 people yes, but everything else subject to how rooms are organized. We had 105 sqm growing up with 5 people and we had a very large living room + 4 bed rooms, no second bath roo

When you say Potsdam is better than Berlin, have you have ever been outside of Mitte, Kreuzberg and Neukölln? Because there are a lot of places in Berlin that are very much like Potsdam. For example Schmöckwitz. And about public transport:

That reminds me of that recent finding that wind turbines would be a few percent more efficient if they turned anti clock-wise (at least on the northern hemisphere), but practically turbines in use today turn clock-wise. Sure, it should not

I wonder if this actually why we consider kids more creative than adults. Maybe it is really that they have just less to care for and more self-motivation than adults.

Interestingly, this is slightly contradictory to the finding that children of former radar workers have more DNMs[0]. Maybe explained by different type of radiation. [0] https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2018-10&#

So? The parent suggested to store the waste in place, not a mile deep in some central, well protected mine. And that would be stupid indeed.

That is a low-tech solution for a low-tech world. There are studies that even with the current level of water treatment, some rivers contain 90% (or so) female fish, due to the remaining pharmaceuticals in the water. European cities are now

Call me irrational but storing small amounts of highly radio active material in many locations is, from my point of view, basically asking for a dirty bomb to happen at some point. It only needs an event like the end of the soviet union to
