This document discusses potential legal and policy strategies for addressing sea level rise and marsh migration in Rhode Island. It examines transferred development rights and rolling easements as adaptive tools, noting that the strategies were researched by Sea Grant Law Fellows to help inform the SLAMM and Beach SAMP teams. The Beach SAMP process will further explore using these strategies as well as property rights and liability issues related to climate change impacts.

Lake Ontario Waterkeeper's submission on the Navigation Protection Act ReviewLOWaterkeeper
On Wednesday, November 30, 2016, Lake Ontario Waterkeeper submitted comments to the Government of Canada on changes made to the Navigation Protection Act (formerly, "Navigable Waters Protection Act") – one of Canada’s oldest laws. Until 2009, the law remained substantially unchanged, when sweeping changes to the legislation eliminated protections for the majority of navigable waters in Canada and focused the law on specific acts of navigation on waters of interest to the federal government. Waterkeeper was the only environmental organization to participate in the committee review prior to the 2009 changes, and again in 2012. Here are Waterkeeper's recommendations for the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities’ consideration.

Making florida flood impact resilient by nature 041216Marco Pluijm
This paper is about which mitigation and protection strategies are seen as viable solutions for solving the challenges Florida is facing in terms of sea level rise, flood control and hurricane impact safety and resilience.
Based on the Resilient by Nature approach, which finds its origin in what can be learned from coastal zones which face similar impact exposures or even worse and suffer less damage or hardly any at all. Translating those capabilities to areas less flood and extreme weather impact resilient, such as large parts of Florida.
Solutions for the affected areas are presented as input towards a safer and much more resilient coastal system for Florida and similar places, with regard to a rapid changing climate, accelerated sea level rise and overall related extreme weather impacts.
In order to prevent the situation that large parts of the built environment of Miami and the Keys will become the new Atlantis, sunken and lost cities.
Regionality: A Tool to Promote Coastal Resiliencemarlowe43
Currently the U.S. plans, funds, constructs, and maintains its coastal navigation and storm damage reduction projects one-at-a-time. Taking a systems approach to achieving coastal resilience is a more effective, cost-saving alternative.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

sea “rolls” inland. Setbacks, conservation easements, prohibitions
on coastal armoring, and building restrictions can all constitute a
