Debates on technologies for harnessing renewable energies tend to generate a polarized arena in which critical voices are automatically denounced as defenders of fossil energy. This has created a difficult situation for activists and scholars voicing concerns about the comparatively low power density, low net energy, and environmental justice concerns of such technologies. In this paper, we highli
The royal Danish-Norwegian flagship Gribshunden, launched in 1485, was amongthe earliest northern European warships purpose-built to carry artillery.

At its loss in 1495 enroute to a political summit in Kalmar, where Hans expected to
Birds and mammals show remarkable convergence in their neurocognition and thermal physiology despite being phylogenetically separated for 325 million years of evolution. This elaboration in neurocognition is hypothesised to be directed at increasing the caloric intake through efficient foraging to power tachymetabolic endothermy. To gain a better understanding of how and why cognitive abilities ev
