Realistic costs of carbon capture
This paper seeks to shed light on the costs of carbon capture by reviewing and comparing the available material on costs of capture for both mature technology and early plants, attempting to account for differences where possible. It mainly refers to US costs, for which the greatest amount of published analysis is available.

Protection of endangered Ganges River dolphins in the Brahmaputra River, Assam, India
Ganges River dolphins (Platanista gangetica gangetica) occur in the Ganges-Brahmaputra River system primarily in India and Bangladesh. They are listed as Endangered by the IUCN due to a probable population decline of at least 50% over the last 50 years and projected future population declines. No quantitative estimates of abundance are available for the Ganges River

Footfalls: obstacle course to livable cities
This study provides detailed analysis of walking conditions in Indian cities. The analysis indicates that walkability is overlooked and undervalued in transport planning, and that improved walkability is justified for equity and efficiency sake. It provides specific recommendations for improving walking conditions to address a variety of planning objectives.

Statistical modeling of vehicle population
In this work, a statistical model is developed to predict the vehicle population for the future years. Vehicle population data is collected for the past ten years and simple moving averages method is chosen to use it with the data of vehicle population. Simple moving averages method is explained in detail along with its application to predict the vehicle population for the future years.
