TL;DR: An overview of the work done on graphene in recent years is presented in this article, which explains the preparation techniques, the properties of graphene related to its physio-chemical structure and some key applications.
Abstract: This paper presents an overview of the work done on graphene in recent years. It explains the preparation techniques, the properties of graphene related to its physio-chemical structure and some key applications. Graphene, due to its outstanding electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, has been one of the most popular choices to develop the electrodes of a sensor. It has been used in different forms including nanoparticle and oxide forms. Along with the preparation and properties of graphene, the categorization of the applications has been done based on the type of sensors. Comparisons between different research studies for each type have been made to highlight their performances. The challenges faced by the current graphene-based sensors along with some of the probable solutions and their future opportunities are also briefly explained in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight some of the central ethical challenges involved in undertaking social science research with refugees in conflict and crisis situations, focusing on two main sets of challenges: first the difficulties of constructing an ethical consent process and obtaining genuinely informed consent; and second taking fully into account and responding to refugee participants capacities for autonomy.
Abstract: This paper highlights some of the central ethical challenges involved in undertaking social science research with refugees in conflict and crisis situations. It focuses on two main sets of challenges: first the difficulties of constructing an ethical consent process and obtaining genuinely informed consent; and second taking fully into account and responding to refugee participants capacities for autonomy. The authors also discuss the challenges involved in applying the central normative principles governing ethics review processes-the principles of beneficence integrity respect for persons autonomy and justice-to the context of refugee research. It is argued that researchers should seek ways to move beyond harm minimization as a standard for ethical research and recognize an obligation to design and conduct research projects that aim to bring about reciprocal benefits for refugee participants and/or communities. Some of the methodological issues raised by this analysis are discussed in the conclusion. (authors)

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the inclusion of additional leaf traits that are functionally linked to climate improves paleoclimate reconstructions and illustrates the need for better understanding of the impact of phylogeny and leaf habit on leaf-climate relationships.
Abstract: Summary • Paleobotanists have long used models based on leaf size and shape to reconstruct paleoclimate. However, most models incorporate a single variable or use traits that are not physiologically or functionally linked to climate, limiting their predictive power. Further, they often underestimate paleotemperature relative to other proxies. • Here we quantify leaf–climate correlations from 92 globally distributed, climatically diverse sites, and explore potential confounding factors. Multiple linear regression models for mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP) are developed and applied to nine well-studied fossil floras. • We find that leaves in cold climates typically have larger, more numerous teeth, and are more highly dissected. Leaf habit (deciduous vs evergreen), local water availability, and phylogenetic history all affect these relationships. Leaves in wet climates are larger and have fewer, smaller teeth. Our multivariate MAT and MAP models offer moderate improvements in precision over univariate approaches (± 4.0 vs 4.8� C for MAT) and strong improvements in accuracy. For example, our provisional MAT estimates for most North American fossil floras are considerably warmer and in better agreement with independent paleoclimate evidence. • Our study demonstrates that the inclusion of additional leaf traits that are functionally linked to climate improves paleoclimate reconstructions. This work also illustrates the need for better understanding of the impact of phylogeny and leaf habit on leaf–climate relationships.
