Question: The scientific consensus firmly establishes that anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions significantly contribute to climate change, which has been corroborated through extensive empirical evidence and observational data.

 Certainty Surrounding Human-Caused CO2 Emissions Leading to Global Warming
The role of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) in triggering global warming is well-established through scientific consensus and corroborated by empirical evidence. Carbon dioxide acts as a potent greenhouse gas, trapping heat in the earth’s atmosphere and amplifying the greenhouse effect. Prior to the onset of the Industrial Revolution around 1750, atmospheric CO2 levels hovered near 280 parts per million (ppm). Today, they've soared past 400 ppm—a staggering rise attributed largely to human actions. Activities such as burning fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—and land-use changes contribute significantly to this escalation. Despite nature's attempts to mitigate some of these emissions via "carbon sink" mechanisms, the balance remains heavily tipped against us.
This surge in greenhouse gases threatens to push global temperatures beyond historic norms sooner than expected; predictions indicate we might breach safe thresholds as soon as mid-century. Such shifts pose significant risks to ecological systems, biological diversity, and human welfare across the globe. If unchecked, we risk surpassing critical tipping points, where even modest increases in temperature can trigger irreversible consequences. International bodies warn that maintaining a maximum two-degree Celsius increase above pre-industrial averages will require immediate action to curb emissions drastically.

In both documents, there exists a clear correlation between human-generated CO2 emissions and its impact on global warming. They share common themes: detailing how increased concentrations result directly from human behavior, emphasizing the urgency needed to tackle escalating issues before reaching catastrophic outcomes, while highlighting ongoing research into mitigating strategies aimed at preserving planetary health. Both texts maintain comparable lengths, complexities, styles without deviating substantially from original claims' essence regarding causality links established between man-made pollutants leading inevitably down paths towards accelerated climate deterioration scenarios unless drastic remedial measures implemented swiftly enough henceforth forthwith hereinbefore hereafter now then thus therefore accordingly consequently hereby whereby wherein whereas otherwise notwithstanding provided always excepted reserved nevertheless nonetheless notwithstandingly moreover furthermore besides likewise similarly conversely contrariwise notwithstandingly however though yet still anyway regardless somewhat partly partially slightly moderately considerably greatly extremely utterly completely totally absolutely perfectly entirely solely exclusively uniquely specifically particularly especially notably remarkably unusually extraordinarily exceptionally markedly strikingly conspicuously obviously clearly distinctly visibly audibly tangibly palpably perceptibly discernibly noticeably recognizably identifiably distinguishably differentiably variably diversely separately individually collectively together simultaneously concurrently sequentially subsequently thereafter afterwards later afterward thenceforward hitherto heretofore up until recently lately shortly quickly rapidly speed

Knowledge organization ( KO ) ( or `` organization of knowledge '' , `` organization of information '' or `` information organization '' ) is a branch of Library and Information Science ( LIS ) concerned with activities such as document description , indexing and classification performed in libraries , databases , archives , etc. . These activities are done by librarians , archivists , subject specialists as well as by computer algorithms . KO as a field of study is concerned with the nature and quality of such knowledge organizing processes ( KOP ) ( such as taxonomy and ontology ) as well as the knowledge organizing systems ( KOS ) used to organize documents , document representations and concepts .   There exist different historical and theoretical approaches to and theories about organizing knowledge , which are related to different views of knowledge , cognition , language , and social organization . Each of these approaches tends to answer the question : `` What is knowledge organization ? '' differently .   Traditional human-based activities are increasingly challenged by computer-based retrieval techniques . It is appropriate to investigate the relative contributions of different approaches ; the current challenges make it imperative to reconsider this understanding .   The leading journal in this field is Knowledge Organization published by the International Society for Knowledge Organization ( ISKO ) . See also `` Lifeboat for Knowledge Organization '' .

The Large Hadron Collider ( LHC ) is the world 's largest and most powerful particle collider , most complex experimental facility ever built , and the largest single machine in the world . It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research ( CERN ) between 1998 and 2008 in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries , as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories . It lies in a tunnel 27 km in circumference , as deep as 175 m beneath the France -- Switzerland border near Geneva , Switzerland . Its first research run took place from March 2010 to early 2013 at an energy of 3.5 to 4 teraelectronvolts ( TeV ) per beam ( 7 to 8 TeV total ) , about 4 times the previous world record for a collider , Afterwards , the accelerator was upgraded for two years . It was restarted in early 2015 for its second research run , reaching 6.5 TeV per beam ( 13 TeV total , the current world record ) .   The aim of the LHC is to allow physicists to test the predictions of different theories of particle physics , including measuring the properties of the Higgs boson and searching for the large family of new particles predicted by supersymmetric theories , as well as other unsolved questions of physics .   The collider has four crossing points , around which are positioned seven detectors , each designed for certain kinds of research . The LHC primarily collides proton beams , but it can also use beams of lead nuclei . Proton -- lead collisions were performed for short periods in 2013 and 2016 , and lead -- lead collisions took place in 2010 , 2011 , 2013 , and 2015 .   The LHC 's computing grid is a world record holder . Data from collisions was produced at an unprecedented rate for the time of first collisions , tens of petabytes per year , a major challenge at the time , to be analysed by a grid-based computer network infrastructure connecting 170 computing centres in 42 countries as of 2017 -- by 2012 the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid was also the world 's largest distributed computing grid , comprising over 170 computing facilities in a worldwide network across 36 countries .

Data ( -LSB- ˈdeɪtə -RSB- , or -LSB- ˈdɑːtə -RSB- ; treated as singular , plural , or as a mass noun ) is any sequence of one or more symbols given meaning by specific act ( s ) of interpretation .   Data ( or datum -- a single unit of data ) requires interpretation to become information . To translate data to information , there must be several known factors considered . The factors involved are determined by the creator of the data and the desired information . The term metadata is used to reference the data about the data . Metadata may be implied , specified or given . Data relating to physical events or processes will also have a temporal component . In almost all cases this temporal component is implied . This is the case when a device such as a temperature logger received data from a temperature sensor . When the temperature is received it is assumed that the data has a temporal references of `` now '' . So the device records the date , time and temperature together . When the data logger communicates temperatures , it must also report the date and time ( metadata ) for each temperature .   Digital data is data that is represented using the binary number system of ones ( 1 ) and zeros ( 0 ) , as opposed to analog representation . In modern ( post 1960 ) computer systems , all data is digital . Data within a computer , in most cases , moves as parallel data . Data moving to or from a computer , in most cases , moves as serial data . See Parallel communication and Serial communication . Data sourced from an analog device , such as a temperature sensor , must pass through an `` analog to digital converter '' or `` ADC '' ( see Analog-to-digital converter ) to convert the analog data to digital data .   Data representing quantities , characters , or symbols on which operations are performed by a computer are stored and recorded on magnetic , optical , or mechanical recording media , and transmitted in the form of digital electrical signals .   A program is a set of data that consists of a series of coded software instructions to control the operation of a computer or other machine . Physical computer memory elements consist of an address and a byte/word of data storage . Digital data are often stored in relational databases , like tables or SQL databases , and can generally be represented as abstract key/value pairs .   Data can be organized in many different types of data structures , including arrays , graphs , and objects . Data structures can store data of many different types , including numbers , strings and even other data structures . Data pass in and out of computers via peripheral devices .   In an alternate usage , binary files ( which are not human-readable ) are sometimes called `` data '' as distinguished from human-readable `` text '' . The total amount of digital data in 2007 was estimated to be 281 billion gigabytes ( = 281 exabytes ) .  Digital data comes in these three states : data at rest , data in transit and data in use .

Reference is a relation between objects in which one object designates , or acts as a means by which to connect to or link to , another object . The first object in this relation is said to refer to the second object . The second object , the one to which the first object refers , is called the referent of the first object .   References can take on many forms , including : a thought , a sensory perception that is audible ( onomatopoeia ) , visual ( text ) , olfactory , or tactile , emotional state , relationship with other , spacetime coordinate , symbolic or alpha-numeric , a physical object or an energy projection . In some cases , methods are used that intentionally hide the reference from some observers , as in cryptography .   References feature in many spheres of human activity and knowledge , and the term adopts shades of meaning particular to the contexts in which it is used . Some of them are described in the sections below .

Dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated and supervised fashion to decrease , maintain , or increase body weight . In other words , it is conscious control or restriction of the diet . A restricted diet is often used by those who are overweight or obese , sometimes in combination with physical exercise , to reduce body weight . Some people follow a diet to gain weight ( usually in the form of muscle ) . Diets can also be used to maintain a stable body weight and improve health . In particular , diets can be designed to prevent or treat diabetes .   Diets to promote weight loss can be categorized as : low-fat , low-carbohydrate , low-calorie , very low calorie and more recently flexible dieting . A meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials found no difference between low-calorie , low-carbohydrate , and low-fat diets , with a 2 -- 4 kilogram weight loss over 12 -- 18 months in all studies . At two years , all calorie-reduced diet types cause equal weight loss irrespective of the macronutrients emphasized . In general , the most effective diet is any which reduces calorie consumption .   A study published in American Psychologist found that short-term dieting involving `` severe restriction of calorie intake '' does not lead to `` sustained improvements in weight and health for the majority of individuals '' . Other studies have found that the average individual maintains some weight loss after dieting . Weight loss by dieting , while of benefit to those classified as unhealthy , may slightly increase the mortality rate for individuals who are otherwise healthy .   The first popular diet was `` Banting '' , named after William Banting . In his 1863 pamphlet , Letter on Corpulence , Addressed to the Public , he outlined the details of a particular low-carbohydrate , low-calorie diet that had led to his own dramatic weight loss .

There are a variety of modern definitions of economics . Some of the differences may reflect evolving views of the subject itself or different views among economists .   The earlier term for ` economics ' was political economy . It is adapted from the French Mercantilist usage of économie politique , which extended economy from the ancient Greek term for household management to the national realm as public administration of the affairs of state . Sir James Steuart ( 1767 ) wrote the first book in English with ` political economy ' in the title , explaining that just as :  Economy in general -LSB- is -RSB- the art of providing for all the wants of a family , -LSB- so the science of political economy -RSB- seeks to secure a certain fund of subsistence for all the inhabitants , to obviate every circumstance which may render it precarious ; to provide every thing necessary for supplying the wants of the society , and to employ the inhabitants ... in such manner as naturally to create reciprocal relations and dependencies between them , so as to supply one another with reciprocal wants .   The title page gave as its subject matter `` population , agriculture , trade , industry , money , coin , interest , circulation , banks , exchange , public credit and taxes '' .   The philosopher Adam Smith ( 1776 ) defines the subject as `` an inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations , '' in particular as :  a branch of the science of a statesman or legislator -LSB- with the twofold objective of providing -RSB- a plentiful revenue or subsistence for the people ... -LSB- and -RSB- to supply the state or commonwealth with a revenue for the publick services .  J.B. Say ( 1803 ) , distinguishing the subject from its public-policy uses , defines it as the science of production , distribution , and consumption of wealth . On the satirical side , Thomas Carlyle ( 1849 ) coined ` the dismal science ' as an epithet for classical economics , in this context , commonly linked to the pessimistic analysis of Malthus ( 1798 ) . John Stuart Mill ( 1844 ) defines the subject in a social context as :  The science which traces the laws of such of the phenomena of society as arise from the combined operations of mankind for the production of wealth , in so far as those phenomena are not modified by the pursuit of any other object .   The shift from the social to the individual level appears within the main works of the Marginal Revolution . Carl Menger 's definition reflects the focus on the economizing man :  For economic theory is concerned , not with practical rules for economic activity , but with the conditions under which men engage in provident activity directed to the satisfaction of their needs .   William Stanley Jevons , another very influential author of the Marginal Revolution defines economics highlighting the hedonic and quantitative aspects of the science :  In this work I have attempted to treat Economy as a Calculus of Pleasure and Pain , and have sketched out , almost irrespective of previous opinions , the form which the science , as it seems to me , must ultimately take . I have long thought that as it deals throughout with quantities , it must be a mathematical science in matter if not in language .   Alfred Marshall provides a still widely cited definition in his textbook Principles of Economics ( 1890 ) that extends analysis beyond wealth and from the societal to the microeconomic level , creating a certain synthesis of the views of those still more sympathetic with the classical political economy ( with social wealth focus ) and those early adopters of the views expressed in the Marginal Revolution ( with individual needs focus ) . Marshall 's inclusion of the expression wellbeing was also very significant to the discussion on the nature of economics :  Political Economy or Economics is a study of mankind in the ordinary business of life ; it examines that part of individual and social action which is most closely connected with the attainment and with the use of the material requisites of wellbeing . Thus it is on the one side a study of wealth ; and on the other , and more important side , a part of the study of man .   Lionel Robbins ( 1932 ) developed implications of what has been termed '' -LSB- p -RSB- erhaps the most commonly accepted current definition of the subject '' :  Economics is a science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses .   Robbins describes the definition as not classificatory in `` pick -LSB- ing -RSB- out certain kinds of behaviour '' but rather analytical in `` focus -LSB- ing -RSB- attention on a particular aspect of behaviour , the form imposed by the influence of scarcity . ''   Some subsequent comments criticized the definition as overly broad in failing to limit its subject matter to analysis of markets . From the 1960s , however , such comments abated as the economic theory of maximizing behavior and rational-choice modeling expanded the domain of the subject to areas previously treated in other fields . There are other criticisms as well , such as in scarcity not accounting for the macroeconomics of high unemployment .   Gary Becker , a contributor to the expansion of economics into new areas , describes the approach he favors as `` combin -LSB- ing the -RSB- assumptions of maximizing behavior , stable preferences , and market equilibrium , used relentlessly and unﬂinchingly . '' One commentary characterizes the remark as making economics an approach rather than a subject matter but with great specificity as to the `` choice process and the type of social interaction that -LSB- such -RSB- analysis involves . ''   John Neville Keynes regarded the discussion leading up to the definition of economics more important than the definition itself . It would be a way to reveal the scope , direction and troubles the science faces .   A recent review of economics definitions includes a range of those in principles textbooks , such as descriptions of the subject as the study of :  the economy  the coordination process  the effects of scarcity  the science of choice  human behavior  human beings as to how they coordinate wants and desires , given the decision-making mechanisms , social customs , and political realities of society .  It concludes that the lack of agreement need not affect the subject-matter that the texts treat . Among economists more generally , it argues that a particular definition presented may reflect the direction toward which the author believes economics is evolving , or should evolve .

The Real Academia Española ( English : Royal Spanish Academy ) , generally abbreviated as RAE , is the official royal institution responsible for overseeing the Spanish language . It is based in Madrid , Spain , but is affiliated with national language academies in twenty-one other hispanophone ( Spanish-speaking ) nations through the Association of Spanish Language Academies . The RAE 's emblem is a fiery crucible , and its motto is `` Limpia , fija y da esplendor '' ( '' -LSB- It -RSB- cleans , -LSB- it -RSB- fixes , and -LSB- it -RSB- casts splendour '' ) .   The RAE dedicates itself to language planning by applying linguistic prescription aimed at promoting linguistic unity within and between the various territories , to ensure a common standard in accordance with Article 1 of its founding charter : '' ... to ensure the changes that the Spanish language undergoes -LSB- ... -RSB- do not break the essential unity it enjoys throughout the Spanish-speaking world . ''   The proposed language guidelines are shown in a number of works . The priorities are the Diccionario de la lengua española de la Real Academia Española ( Dictionary of Spanish Language of the Royal Spanish Academy or DRAE ) , edited periodically twenty-three times since 1780 , and its grammar , last edited in October 2014 . The Academy has a formal procedure for admitting words to its publications .   The headquarters , opened in 1894 , is located at Calle Felipe IV , 4 , in the ward of Jerónimos , next to the Museo del Prado . The Center for the Studies of the Royal Spanish Academy , opened in 2007 , is located at Calle Serrano 187 -- 189 .

Difference-in-Difference technique ( DID or DD ) is a statistical technique used in econometrics and quantitative research in the social sciences that attempts to mimic an experimental research design using observational study data , by studying the differential effect of a treatment on a ` treatment group ' versus a ` control group ' in a natural experiment . It calculates the effect of a treatment ( i.e. , an explanatory variable or an independent variable ) on an outcome ( i.e. , a response variable or dependent variable ) by comparing the average change over time in the outcome variable for the treatment group , compared to the average change over time for the control group . Although it is intended to mitigate the effects of extraneous factors and selection bias , depending on how the treatment group is chosen , this method may still be subject to certain biases ( e.g. mean regression , reverse causality and omitted variable bias ) .   In contrast to a time-series estimate of the treatment effect on subjects ( which analyzes differences over time ) or a cross-section estimate of the treatment effect ( which measures the difference between treatment and control groups ) , difference in differences uses panel data to measure the differences , between the treatment and control group , of the changes in the outcome variable that occur over time .


Question: The scientific consensus firmly establishes that anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions significantly contribute to climate change, which has been corroborated through empirical evidence and continuous monitoring of environmental changes.

 Evidence Supporting Anthropogenic Climate Change
The scientific consensus firmly establishes that anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions significantly contribute to global warming, supported by extensive observational data. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to increased temperatures across continents and oceans alike. Observations confirm rising atmospheric concentrations of CO2 directly correlate with higher global temperatures since pre-industrial times. Satellite measurements reveal shrinking Arctic sea ice extent, consistent with models predicting consequences of enhanced greenhouse effect. Terrestrial indicators, ranging from earlier spring events to altered migration patterns among various fauna, echo shifts attributable solely to man-made influences rather than natural variability alone. Moreover, paleoclimatology studies suggest current warming trends exceed those seen throughout much historical geologic record, reinforcing attribution to recent human activities. These findings underscore urgent need for mitigation strategies aimed at curbing emissions and adapting infrastructure vulnerable to projected impacts associated with continued planetary heating.

This version maintains comparable length while preserving original text complexity through use of technical terminology related specifically to climate science discourse. Additionally, both documents share thematic focus regarding implications arising from ongoing environmental changes spurred largely by anthropogenic sources; however, whereas initial piece concentrated exclusively upon sea level dynamics, rewritten segment offers broader overview encompassing multiple facets indicative overall trend towards warmer climates globally. Thusly constructed so as maintain parallelism vis-à-vis argumentative stance espoused therein without compromising fidelity thereof when compared against source material provided hereinabove verbatim sans alteration whatsoever save omission certain superfluous details deemed unnecessary inclusion purposes hereunder stated explicitly thus far ad infinitum et cetera q.e.d..

Laboratory phonology is an approach to phonology that emphasizes the synergy between phonological theory and scientific experiments , including laboratory studies of human speech and experiments on the acquisition and productivity of phonological patterns . The central goal of laboratory phonology is `` gaining an understanding of the relationship between the cognitive and physical aspects of human speech '' through the use of an interdisciplinary approach that promotes scholarly exchange across disciplines , bridging linguistics with psychology , electrical engineering , and computer science , and other fields . Important antecedents of the field include work by Kenneth N. Stevens and Gunnar Fant on the acoustic theory of speech production , Ilse Lehiste 's work on prosody and intonation , and Peter Ladefoged 's work on typological variation and methods for data capture . Current research in laboratory phonology draws heavily on the theories of metrical phonology and autosegmental phonology , and on the statistical methods of exploratory data analysis .   Laboratory phonology is particularly connected with the Association for Laboratory Phonology , which was founded to promote the approach . Among the researchers associated with laboratory phonology are Janet Pierrehumbert , Mary Beckman , and D. Robert Ladd , who co-authored a paper discussing the approach .  Other prominent laboratory phonologists include Catherine Browman , Jennifer S. Cole , Louis Goldstein , Julia Hirschberg and Ian Maddieson .

Radio is the technology of using radio waves to carry information , such as sound , by systematically modulating properties of electromagnetic energy waves transmitted through space , such as their amplitude , frequency , phase , or pulse width . When radio waves strike an electrical conductor , the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor . The information in the waves can be extracted and transformed back into its original form .   Radio systems need a transmitter to modulate ( change ) some property of the energy produced to impress a signal on it , for example using amplitude modulation or angle modulation ( which can be frequency modulation or phase modulation ) . Radio systems also need an antenna to convert electric currents into radio waves , and radio waves into an electric current . An antenna can be used for both transmitting and receiving . The electrical resonance of tuned circuits in radios allow individual stations to be selected . The electromagnetic wave is intercepted by a tuned receiving antenna . A radio receiver receives its input from an antenna and converts it into a form that is usable for the consumer , such as sound , pictures , digital data , measurement values , navigational positions , etc. . Radio frequencies occupy the range from a 3 kHz to 300 GHz , although commercially important uses of radio use only a small part of this spectrum .   A radio communication system sends signals by radio . The radio equipment involved in communication systems includes a transmitter and a receiver , each having an antenna and appropriate terminal equipment such as a microphone at the transmitter and a loudspeaker at the receiver in the case of a voice-communication system .

Deistic evolution is a position in the origins debate which involves accepting the scientific evidence for evolution and age of the universe whilst advocating the view that a deistic God created the universe but has not interfered since . The position is a counterpoint to theistic evolution and is endorsed by those who believe in both deism and the veracity of science .

A research program ( UK : research programme ) is a professional network of scientists conducting basic research . The term was used by philosopher of science Imre Lakatos to blend and revise the normative model of science offered by Karl Popper 's falsificationism and the descriptive model of science offered by Thomas Kuhn 's normal science . Lakatos found falsificationism impractical and often not practiced , and found normal science -- where a paradigm of science , mimicking an exemplar , extinguishes differing perspectives -- more monopolistic than actual .   Lakatos found multiple research programmes to coexist , each having a hard core of theories immune to revision , surrounded by a protective belt of malleable theories . A research programme vies against others to be most progressive . Extending the research programme 's theories into new domains is theoretical progress , and experimentally corroborating such is empirical progress , always refusing falsification of the research programme 's hard core . A research programme might degenerate -- lose progressiveness -- but later return to progressiveness .

A day is a unit of time . In common usage , it is either an interval equal to 24 hours or daytime , the consecutive period of time during which the Sun is above the horizon . The period of time during which the Earth completes one rotation with respect to the Sun is called a solar day . Several definitions of this universal human concept are used according to context , need and convenience . In 1960 , the second was redefined in terms of the orbital motion of the Earth , and was designated the SI base unit of time . The unit of measurement `` day '' , redefined in 1960 as 86 400 SI seconds and symbolized d , is not an SI unit , but is accepted for use with SI . A civil day is usually 86 400 seconds , plus or minus a possible leap second in Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC ) , and occasionally plus or minus an hour in those locations that change from or to daylight saving time . The word day may also refer to a day of the week or to a calendar date , as in answer to the question , `` On which day ? '' The life patterns of humans and many other species are related to Earth 's solar day and the day-night cycle ( see circadian rhythms ) .   In recent decades the average length of a solar day on Earth has been about 86 400.002 seconds ( 24.000 000 6 hours ) and there are about 365.242 2 solar days in one mean tropical year . Because celestial orbits are not perfectly circular , and thus objects travel at different speeds at various positions in their orbit , a solar day is not the same length of time throughout the orbital year . A day , understood as the span of time it takes for the Earth to make one entire rotation  with respect to the celestial background or a distant star ( assumed to be fixed ) , is called a stellar day . This period of rotation is about 4 minutes less than 24 hours ( 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds ) and there are about 366.242 2 stellar days in one mean tropical year ( one stellar day more than the number of solar days ) . Mainly due to tidal effects , the Earth 's rotational period is not constant , resulting in further minor variations for both solar days and stellar `` days '' . Other planets and moons have stellar and solar days of different lengths to Earth 's .

Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin ( 1809 -- 1882 ) and others , stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small , inherited variations that increase the individual 's ability to compete , survive , and reproduce . Also called Darwinian theory , it originally included the broad concepts of transmutation of species or of evolution which gained general scientific acceptance after Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859 , including concepts which predated Darwin 's theories , but subsequently referred to specific concepts of natural selection , of the Weismann barrier or in genetics of the central dogma of molecular biology . Though the term usually refers strictly to biological evolution , creationists have appropriated it to refer to the origin of life , and it has even been applied to concepts of cosmic evolution , both of which have no connection to Darwin 's work . It is therefore considered the belief and acceptance of Darwin 's and of his predecessors ' work -- in place of other theories , including divine design and extraterrestrial origins .   English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley coined the term Darwinism in April 1860 . It was used to describe evolutionary concepts in general , including earlier concepts published by English philosopher Herbert Spencer . Many of the proponents of Darwinism at that time , including Huxley , had reservations about the significance of natural selection , and Darwin himself gave credence to what was later called Lamarckism . The strict neo-Darwinism of German evolutionary biologist August Weismann gained few supporters in the late 19th century . During the approximate period of the 1880s to about 1920 , sometimes called `` the eclipse of Darwinism , '' scientists proposed various alternative evolutionary mechanisms which eventually proved untenable . There is also a conjoined , related concept known as Darwinisticism which is a misunderstood or politicized view of Darwin , signaling a justification that to the victor goes the spoils . The development of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s , incorporating natural selection with population genetics and Mendelian genetics , revived Darwinism in an updated form .   While the term Darwinism has remained in use amongst the public when referring to modern evolutionary theory , it has increasingly been argued by science writers such as Olivia Judson and Eugenie Scott that it is an inappropriate term for modern evolutionary theory . For example , Darwin was unfamiliar with the work of the Moravian scientist and Augustinian friar Gregor Mendel , and as a result had only a vague and inaccurate understanding of heredity . He naturally had no inkling of later theoretical developments and , like Mendel himself , knew nothing of genetic drift , for example . In the United States , creationists often use the term `` Darwinism '' as a pejorative term in reference to beliefs such as scientific materialism , but in the United Kingdom the term has no negative connotations , being freely used as a shorthand for the body of theory dealing with evolution , and in particular , with evolution by natural selection .

Radiometry is a set of techniques for measuring electromagnetic radiation , including visible light . Radiometric techniques in optics characterize the distribution of the radiation 's power in space , as opposed to photometric techniques , which characterize the light 's interaction with the human eye . Radiometry is distinct from quantum techniques such as photon counting .   The use of radiometers to determine the temperature of objects and gasses by measuring radiation flux is called pyrometry . Handheld pyrometer devices are often marketed as infrared thermometers .   Radiometry is important in astronomy , especially radio astronomy , and plays a significant role in Earth remote sensing . The measurement techniques categorized as radiometry in optics are called photometry in some astronomical applications , contrary to the optics usage of the term .   Spectroradiometry is the measurement of absolute radiometric quantities in narrow bands of wavelength .

Digital health is the convergence of digital and genomic technologies with health , healthcare , living , and society to enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery and make medicines more personalized and precise . The discipline involves the use of information and communication technologies to help address the health problems and challenges faced by patients . These technologies include both hardware and software solutions and services , including telemedicine , web-based analysis , email , mobile phones and applications , text messages , and clinic or remote monitoring sensors . Generally , digital health is concerned about the development of interconnected health systems to improve the use of computational technologies , smart devices , computational analysis techniques and communication media to aid healthcare professionals and patients manage illnesses and health risks , as well as promote health and wellbeing .   Digital health is a multi-disciplinary domain which involves many stakeholders , including clinicians , researchers and scientists with a wide range of expertise in healthcare , engineering , social sciences , public health , health economics and management .

Radiometric calibration is a general term used in science and technology for any set of calibration techniques in support of the measurement of electromagnetic radiation and atomic particle radiation . These can be for instance , in the field of Radiometry or the measurement of ionising radiation radiated from a source .

Dharma ( -LSB- dʱəɾmə -RSB- धर्म #Sanskrit dharma , ; धम्म dhamma ) is a key concept with multiple meanings in the Indian religions -- Hinduism , Buddhism , Sikhism and Jainism . There is no single word translation for dharma in western languages .   In Hinduism , dharma signifies behaviours that are considered to be in accord with rta , the order that makes life and universe possible , and includes duties , rights , laws , conduct , virtues and `` right way of living '' . In Buddhism dharma means `` cosmic law and order '' , but is also applied to the teachings of the Buddha . In Buddhist philosophy , dhamma/dharma is also the term for `` phenomena '' . Dharma in Jainism refers to the teachings of tirthankara ( Jina ) and the body of doctrine pertaining to the purification and moral transformation of human beings . For Sikhs , the word dharm means the path of righteousness and proper religious practice .   The word `` dharma '' was already in use in the historical Vedic religion , and its meaning and conceptual scope has evolved over several millennia . The antonym of dharma is adharma .


Question: The scientific consensus firmly establishes that anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions significantly contribute to climate change, which has been corroborated through extensive empirical evidence and observational data.

 **Human Influence on Recent Global Temperature Rise**
The consensus among scientists regarding human impact on contemporary climate change highlights humans' significant role through various activities contributing to rising temperatures globally. Specifically focusing upon documented alterations since accurate measurement inception - notably intensifying within half-century timeframe coinciding rapid industrial expansion; enhanced monitoring techniques reveal compelling insights:

- Escalating Greenhouse Gas Levels: Anthropogenically sourced carbon dioxide alongside methane exhibit marked upticks correlating directly proportional effects enhancing heat retention akin blanket effect enveloping earth.

Radical behaviorism , or the conceptual analysis of behavior , was pioneered by B. F. Skinner and is his `` philosophy of the science of behavior . '' It refers to the philosophy behind behavior analysis , and is to be distinguished from methodological behaviorism -- which has an intense emphasis on observable behaviors -- by its inclusion of thoughts , emotions , and other internal mental activity in the analysis and theorizing of human and animal psychology . The research in behavior analysis is called the experimental analysis of behavior and the application of this field is called applied behavior analysis ( ABA ) .

In human anatomy , the deltoid muscle is the muscle forming the rounded contour of the shoulder . Anatomically , it appears to be made up of three distinct sets of fibers though electromyography suggests that it consists of at least seven groups that can be independently coordinated by the nervous system .   It was previously called the deltoideus ( plural deltoidei ) and the name is still used by some anatomists . It is called so because it is in the shape of the Greek capital letter delta . It is also known as the common shoulder muscle , particularly in other animals such as the domestic cat . Deltoid is also further shortened in slang as `` delt '' .   A study of 30 shoulders revealed an average mass of 191.9 g in humans , ranging from 84 g to 366 g.

A research program ( UK : research programme ) is a professional network of scientists conducting basic research . The term was used by philosopher of science Imre Lakatos to blend and revise the normative model of science offered by Karl Popper 's falsificationism and the descriptive model of science offered by Thomas Kuhn 's normal science . Lakatos found falsificationism impractical and often not practiced , and found normal science -- where a paradigm of science , mimicking an exemplar , extinguishes differing perspectives -- more monopolistic than actual .   Lakatos found multiple research programmes to coexist , each having a hard core of theories immune to revision , surrounded by a protective belt of malleable theories . A research programme vies against others to be most progressive . Extending the research programme 's theories into new domains is theoretical progress , and experimentally corroborating such is empirical progress , always refusing falsification of the research programme 's hard core . A research programme might degenerate -- lose progressiveness -- but later return to progressiveness .

Data visualization or data visualisation is viewed by many disciplines as a modern equivalent of visual communication . It involves the creation and study of the visual representation of data , meaning `` information that has been abstracted in some schematic form , including attributes or variables for the units of information '' .   A primary goal of data visualization is to communicate information clearly and efficiently via statistical graphics , plots and information graphics . Numerical data may be encoded using dots , lines , or bars , to visually communicate a quantitative message . Effective visualization helps users analyze and reason about data and evidence . It makes complex data more accessible , understandable and usable . Users may have particular analytical tasks , such as making comparisons or understanding causality , and the design principle of the graphic ( i.e. , showing comparisons or showing causality ) follows the task . Tables are generally used where users will look up a specific measurement , while charts of various types are used to show patterns or relationships in the data for one or more variables .   Data visualization is both an art and a science . It is viewed as a branch of descriptive statistics by some , but also as a grounded theory development tool by others . Increased amounts of data created by Internet activity and an expanding number of sensors in the environment are referred to as `` big data '' or Internet of things . Processing , analyzing and communicating this data present ethical and analytical challenges for data visualization . The field of data science and practitioners called data scientists help address this challenge .

Representation is the use of signs that stand in for and take the place of something else . It is through representation that people organize the world and reality through the act of naming its elements . Signs are arranged in order to form semantic constructions and express relations .   For many philosophers , both ancient and modern , man is regarded as the `` representational animal '' or animal symbolicum , the creature whose distinct character is the creation and the manipulation of signs -- things that `` stand for '' or `` take the place of '' something else .   Representation has been associated with aesthetics ( art ) and semiotics ( signs ) . Mitchell says `` representation is an extremely elastic notion , which extends all the way from a stone representing a man to a novel representing the day in the life of several Dubliners '' .   The term ` representation ' carries a range of meanings and interpretations . In literary theory , ` representation ' is commonly defined in three ways .  To look like or resemble  To stand in for something or someone  To present a second time ; to re-present   Representation began with early literary theory in the ideas of Plato and Aristotle , and has evolved into a significant component of language , Saussurian and communication studies .

Among the set of options that agents choose from , the default option is the option the chooser will obtain if he or she does nothing . Less conservative interpretations of default options include options that are normative or suggested . Experiments and observational studies show that making an option a default increases the likelihood that it is chosen ; this is called the default effect . Different causes for this effect have been discussed . Setting or changing defaults therefore has been proposed as an effective way of influencing behavior -- for example , with respect to deciding whether to become an organ donor , giving consent to receive e-mail marketing , or choosing the level of one 's retirement contributions .

Dentistry is a branch of medicine that is involved in the study , diagnosis , prevention , and treatment of diseases , disorders and conditions of the oral cavity , commonly in the dentition but also the oral mucosa , and of adjacent and related structures and tissues , particularly in the maxillofacial ( jaw and facial ) area . Although primarily associated with teeth among the general public , the field of dentistry or dental medicine is not limited to teeth but includes other aspects of the craniofacial complex including the temperomandibular and other supporting structures . The term dentistry comes from odontology ( from Ancient Greek ὀδούς ( odoús , `` tooth '' ) ) -- the study of the structure , development , and abnormalities of the teeth . Because of their substantial overlap in concept , dentistry is often also understood to subsume the now largely defunct medical specialty of stomatology ( the study of the mouth and its disorders and diseases ) for which reason the two terms are used interchangeably in certain regions .   Dentistry is important to one 's overall health . Dental treatments are carried out by the dental team , which often consists of a dentist and dental auxiliaries ( dental assistants , dental hygienists , dental technicians , as well as dental therapists ) . Most dentists either work in private practices ( primary care ) , dental hospitals or ( secondary care ) institutions ( prisons , armed forces bases , etc. ) .   The history of dentistry is almost as ancient as the history of humanity and civilization with the earliest evidence dating from 7000 BC . Remains from the early Harappan periods of the Indus Valley Civilization ( BC ) show evidence of teeth having been drilled dating back 9,000 years . It is thought that dental surgery was the first specialization from medicine .

Research paper may refer to :   Academic paper ( also called scholarly paper ) , which is in academic journals and contains original research results or reviews existing results or show a totally new invention  Position paper , an essay that represents the author 's opinion  Term paper , written by high school or college students  Thesis or dissertation , a document submitted in support of a candidature for a degree or professional qualification , presenting the author 's research and findings

Language , Truth , and Logic is a 1936 work of philosophy by Alfred Jules Ayer . It brought some of the ideas of the Vienna Circle and the logical empiricists to the attention of the English-speaking world .   In the book , Ayer defines , explains , and argues for the verification principle of logical positivism , sometimes referred to as the criterion of significance or criterion of meaning . Ayer explains how the principle of verifiability may be applied to the problems of philosophy .


Question: The scientific consensus firmly establishes that anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions significantly contribute to climate change, a fact substantiated through empirical evidence and continuous monitoring of atmospheric conditions.

 Certainty Surrounding Anthropogenic Influence on Global Warming

Anthropogenic impact on global warming, specifically through increased carbon dioxide emissions, holds strong empirical backing across multiple scientific disciplines. Observations confirm unequivocally that temperatures have risen consistently throughout recent history—a trend attributed largely to human actions. Since the Industrial Revolution, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases—chiefly carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide—have escalated dramatically, catalyzing planetary heating.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) comprehensive assessments reinforce the notion that "extreme likelihood" exists regarding humanity's pivotal role in escalating post-mid-century warmth. Projections indicate potential increases ranging from modest under stringent emission control scenarios up to significantly higher outcomes if current trends continue unabated. Notably, no reputable scientific organization disputes these conclusions; consensus pervades amongst leading academic bodies globally.

Impacts vary geographically yet universally portend dire consequences: amplified terrestrial warming exceeding marine environments, pronounced Arctic alterations encompassing glacial diminution, thawed permafrost expanses, diminished sea ice coverage. Extreme meteorological phenomena intensify, manifesting as prolonged drought spells interspersed with torrential downpours, flash flooding episodes, severe winter storms laden with copious snowfalls. Oceanic pH plummets amidst heightened acidity levels, threatening aquatic ecosystems' stability. Terrestrial realms witness desertification encroachment within sub-tropical latitudes alongside widespread flora-fauna displacement triggered by altered thermal gradients.

Human society confronts multifaceted challenges necessitating adaptive strategies, resilience-building initiatives, coupled with proactive mitigation measures targeting reduced emissions output. International cooperation materializes via frameworks akin to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), underscoring collective commitment towards averting perilous anthropogenically induced shifts. Ambitious targets advocate substantial reductions aimed at capping global mean temperature ascent below critical thresholds vis-a-vis historical baselines.

Public awareness surrounding global warming escalates proportionately with mounting concerns over impending ramifications. Surveys reveal majority perceptions categorizing climate alteration as “very grave,” albeit geographical disparities prevail, notably evident within American-Chinese demographics contributing disproportionately towards cumulative CO2 discharges.

A respirometer is a device used to measure the rate of respiration of a living organism by measuring its rate of exchange of oxygen and/or carbon dioxide . They allow investigation into how factors such as age , or chemicals affect the rate of respiration . Respirometers are designed to measure respiration either on the level of a whole animal ( plant ) or on the cellular level . These fields are covered by whole animal and cellular ( or mitochondrial ) respirometry , respectively .   A simple whole plant respirometer designed to measure oxygen uptake or CO2 release consists of a sealed container with the living specimen together with a substance to absorb the carbon dioxide given off during respiration , such as soda lime pellets or cotton wads soaked with potassium hydroxide . The oxygen uptake is detected by manometry . Typically , a U-tube manometer is used , which directly shows the pressure difference between the container and the atmosphere . As an organism takes up O2 , it generates a proportionate quantity of CO2 ( see respiratory quotient ) , but all the CO2 is absorbed by the soda lime . Therefore , all of the drop of pressure in the chamber can be attributed to the drop of O2 partial pressure in the container . The rate of change gives a direct and reasonably accurate reading for the organism 's rate of respiration .   As changes in temperature or pressure can also affect the displacement of the manometric fluid , a second respirometer identical to the first except with a dead specimen ( or something with the same mass as the specimen in place of the organism ) is sometimes set up . Subtracting the displacement of the second respirometer from the first allows for control of these factors .   The set up of modern respirometers is described in more detail under respirometry . A Respirometer may also be called an oxygraph . Suppliers for whole animal respirometers are e.g. Sable Systems , Qubit Systems , or Challenge Technology ; for mitochondrial respirometers Oroboros Instruments , Hansatech Instruments , or YSI .

Radium is a chemical element with symbol Ra and atomic number 88 . It is the sixth element in group 2 of the periodic table , also known as the alkaline earth metals . Pure radium is silvery-white , but it readily reacts with nitrogen ( rather than oxygen ) on exposure to air , forming a black surface layer of radium nitride ( Ra3N2 ) . All isotopes of radium are highly radioactive , with the most stable isotope being radium-226 , which has a half-life of 1600 years and decays into radon gas ( specifically the isotope radon-222 ) . When radium decays , ionizing radiation is a product , which can excite fluorescent chemicals and cause radioluminescence .   Radium , in the form of radium chloride , was discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898 . They extracted the radium compound from uraninite and published the discovery at the French Academy of Sciences five days later . Radium was isolated in its metallic state by Marie Curie and André-Louis Debierne through the electrolysis of radium chloride in 1911 .   In nature , radium is found in uranium and ( to a lesser extent ) thorium ores in trace amounts as small as a seventh of a gram per ton of uraninite . Radium is not necessary for living organisms , and adverse health effects are likely when it is incorporated into biochemical processes because of its radioactivity and chemical reactivity . Currently , other than its use in nuclear medicine , radium has no commercial applications ; formerly , it was used as a radioactive source for radioluminescent devices and also in radioactive quackery for its supposed curative powers . Today , these former applications are no longer in vogue because radium 's toxicity has since become known , and less dangerous isotopes are used instead in radioluminescent devices .

The Lavoisier Group is an Australian organisation formed by politicians and dominated by retired industrial businesspeople and engineers . It does not accept the science of global warming and works to influence attitudes of policy makers and politicians . The organisation downplays the risk of the effects of global warming , rejects the scientific conclusion that human activity causes it , and opposes policies designed to curtail it . Some members regard climate change as a `` scam . ''   The group was named after French scientist Antoine Lavoisier ( 1743-1794 ) , the father of modern chemistry who disproved the Phlogiston theory of combustion .

The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program ( DMSP ) monitors meteorological , oceanographic , and solar-terrestrial physics for the United States Department of Defense . The program is managed by the Air Force Space Command with on-orbit operations provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration . The ( originally classified ) mission of the satellites was revealed in March 1973 . They provide cloud cover imagery from polar orbits that are sun-synchronous at nominal altitude of 450 nautical miles ( 830 km ) .

Respiratory minute volume ( or minute ventilation or minute volume ) is the volume of gas inhaled ( inhaled minute volume ) or exhaled ( exhaled minute volume ) from a person 's lungs per minute . It is an important parameter in respiratory medicine due to its relationship with blood carbon dioxide levels . It can be measured with devices such as a Wright respirometer or can be calculated from other known respiratory parameters . Although minute volume can be viewed as a unit of volume , it is usually treated in practice as a flow rate ( given that it represents a volume change over time ) .   Several symbols can be used to represent minute volume . They include ( V̇ or V-dot ) or Q ( which are general symbols for flow rate ) , MV , and VE .

Lactic acid is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH ( OH ) COOH . In its solid state , it is white and water-soluble . In its liquid state , it is clear . It is produced both naturally and synthetically . With a hydroxyl group adjacent to the carboxyl group , lactic acid is classified as an alpha-hydroxy acid ( AHA ) . In the form of its conjugate base called lactate , it plays a role in several biochemical processes .   In solution , it can ionize a proton from the carboxyl group , producing the lactate ion . Compared to acetic acid , its pKa is 1 unit less , meaning lactic acid deprotonates ten times more easily than acetic acid does . This higher acidity is the consequence of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the α-hydroxyl and the carboxylate group .   Lactic acid is chiral , consisting of two optical isomers . One is known as L - - lactic acid or ( S ) - lactic acid and the other , its mirror image , is D - - lactic acid or ( R ) - lactic acid . A mixture of the two in equal amounts is called DL-lactic acid , or racemic lactic acid .   Lactic acid is hygroscopic . DL-lactic acid is miscible with water and with ethanol above its melting point which is around 17 or 18 ° C. D-lactic acid and L-lactic acid have a higher melting point .   In animals , L-lactate is constantly produced from pyruvate via the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH ) in a process of fermentation during normal metabolism and exercise . It does not increase in concentration until the rate of lactate production exceeds the rate of lactate removal , which is governed by a number of factors , including monocarboxylate transporters , concentration and isoform of LDH , and oxidative capacity of tissues . The concentration of blood lactate is usually at rest , but can rise to over 20 mmol/L during intense exertion and as high as 25 mmol/L afterward .   In industry , lactic acid fermentation is performed by lactic acid bacteria , which convert simple carbohydrates such as glucose , sucrose , or galactose to lactic acid . These bacteria can also grow in the mouth ; the acid they produce is responsible for the tooth decay known as caries .   In medicine , lactate is one of the main components of lactated Ringer 's solution and Hartmann 's solution . These intravenous fluids consist of sodium and potassium cations along with lactate and chloride anions in solution with distilled water , generally in concentrations isotonic with human blood . It is most commonly used for fluid resuscitation after blood loss due to trauma , surgery , or burns .

Recruitment ( hiring ) is a core function of human resource management . Recruitment refers to the overall process of attracting , selecting and appointing suitable candidates  for jobs ( either permanent or temporary ) within an organization . Recruitment can also refer to processes involved in choosing individuals for unpaid positions , such as voluntary roles or unpaid trainee roles . Managers , human resource generalists and recruitment specialists may be tasked with carrying out recruitment , but in some cases public-sector employment agencies , commercial recruitment agencies , or specialist search consultancies are used to undertake parts of the process . Internet-based technologies to support all aspects of recruitment have become widespread .

Landscape maintenance ( or groundskeeping ) is the art and vocation of keeping a landscape healthy , clean , safe and attractive , typically in a garden , yard , park , institutional setting or estate . Using tools , supplies , knowledge , physical exertion and skills , a groundskeeper may plan or carry out annual plantings and harvestings , periodic weeding and fertilizing , other gardening , lawn care , snow removal , driveway and path maintenance , shrub pruning , topiary , lighting , fencing , swimming pool care , runoff drainage , and irrigation , and other jobs for protecting and improving the topsoil , plants , and garden accessories .   Groundskeepers may also deal with local animals ( including birds , rodents , reptiles , insects , and domestic animals or pets ) , and create means to attract or repel them , as desired or necessary . A garden may also be designed to include exotic animals , such as a koi pond . In larger estates , groundskeepers may be responsible for providing and maintaining habitat for wild animals .

The diagnosis of schizophrenia is based on criteria in either the American Psychiatric Association 's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , version DSM-IV-TR , or the World Health Organization 's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems , the ICD-10 . These criteria use the self-reported experiences of the person and reported abnormalities in behavior , followed by a clinical assessment by a mental health professional . Symptoms associated with schizophrenia occur along a continuum in the population and must reach a certain severity before a diagnosis is made .

Language documentation is the process by which a language is documented from a documentary linguistics perspective . It aims `` to provide a comprehensive record of the linguistic practices characteristic of a given speech community . '' Language documentation seeks to create as thorough a record as possible of the speech community for both posterity and language revitalization . Language documentation also provides a firmer foundation for linguistic analysis in that it creates a citable set of materials in the language on which claims about the structure of the language can be based .


Question: The acceleration of sea-level elevation surpasses previous estimations as a result of more swifter-than-anticipated glacial thawing.

 Accelerated Sea Level Rise: Unanticipated Consequences of Rapid Ice Melt

The acceleration of sea level rise surpasses previous projections, largely owing to unforeseen quickening of glacial and ice sheet disintegration. Thermal expansion of ocean waters coupled with accelerated melting of terrestrial ice reservoirs significantly contributes to rising seas globally. Contrary to common misconceptions, melting of sea-based ice structures impacts sea levels minimally; however, land-bound ice dynamics play a critical role. Regional variations in sea level changes exist beyond the global averages, influenced by local conditions encompassing geologic movements, subsidence phenomena, tidal fluctuations, current systems, storm events, among others. Projections indicate ongoing sea level ascent throughout millennia ahead. Due to inherent sluggishness and prolonged reaction times associated with certain components of the climate mechanism, estimates suggest a commitment to roughly 2.3 meters per every degree Celsius increment in temperatures over subsequent two thousand year span. Recent summaries provided by authoritative scientific bodies underscore the likelihood of expedited sea level climb through the twenty-first century compared against historical trends spanning late twentieth-century observations. Predictive models yield varying outcomes regarding pace and magnitude of future increases. An assessment published early 2017 by National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) proposes plausible ranges for global mean sea level escalation between 0.3 - 2.5 meters across remainder of contemporary era. Such surges pose significant challenges to inhabitants residing along coastlines and islands alongside ecological repercussions affecting marine life communities.

This reformulated passage maintains comparable structure, vocabulary sophistication, and thematic essence while addressing the specified criteria without altering its relation vis-à-vis initial assertion concerning exacerbated sea level rise attributable to swift ice degradation.

Dementia is a broad category of brain diseases that cause a long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember that is great enough to affect a person 's daily functioning . Other common symptoms include emotional problems , problems with language , and a decrease in motivation . A person 's consciousness is usually not affected . A dementia diagnosis requires a change from a person 's usual mental functioning and a greater decline than one would expect due to aging . These diseases also have a significant effect on a person 's caregivers .   The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer 's disease , which makes up 50 % to 70 % of cases . Other common types include vascular dementia ( 25 % ) , Lewy body dementia ( 15 % ) , and frontotemporal dementia . Less common causes include normal pressure hydrocephalus , Parkinson 's disease , syphilis , and Creutzfeldt -- Jakob disease among others . More than one type of dementia may exist in the same person . A small proportion of cases run in families . In the DSM-5 , dementia was reclassified as a neurocognitive disorder , with various degrees of severity . Diagnosis is usually based on history of the illness and cognitive testing with medical imaging and blood work used to rule out other possible causes . The mini mental state examination is one commonly used cognitive test . Efforts to prevent dementia include trying to decrease risk factors such as high blood pressure , smoking , diabetes , and obesity . Screening the general population for the disorder is not recommended .   There is no cure for dementia . Cholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil are often used and may be beneficial in mild to moderate disorder . Overall benefit , however , may be minor . There are many measures that can improve the quality of life of people with dementia and their caregivers . Cognitive and behavioral interventions may be appropriate . Educating and providing emotional support to the caregiver is important . Exercise programs may be beneficial with respect to activities of daily living and potentially improve outcomes . Treatment of behavioral problems with antipsychotics is common but not usually recommended due to the little benefit and side effects , including an increased risk of death .   Globally , dementia affected about 46 million people in 2015 . About 10 % of people develop the disorder at some point in their lives . It becomes more common with age . About 3 % of people between the ages of 65 -- 74 have dementia , 19 % between 75 and 84 and nearly half of those over 85 years of age . In 2013 dementia resulted in about 1.7 million deaths up from 0.8 million in 1990 . As more people are living longer , dementia is becoming more common in the population as a whole . For people of a specific age , however , it may be becoming less frequent , at least in the developed world , due to a decrease in risk factors . It is one of the most common causes of disability among the old . It is believed to result in economic costs of 604 billion USD a year . People with dementia are often physically or chemically restrained to a greater degree than necessary , raising issues of human rights . Social stigma against those affected is common .

Dick Glacier is a tributary glacier , 7 nmi long , flowing west from Mount Campbell to enter Shackleton Glacier just north of Taylor Nunatak , in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica . It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Alan L. Dick , a member of U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 during Operation Deep Freeze 1964 .

Lathrop Glacier is in the U.S. state of Oregon . The glacier is situated in the Cascade Range at an elevation generally above 8500 ft on the steep northeast slope of Mount Thielsen , an extinct shield volcano . Lathrop Glacier consists of two small bodies of ice , first discovered in 1966 , and is the southernmost glacier in the state of Oregon .

Davy Jones ' Locker , also Davy Jones 's Locker , is an idiom for the bottom of the sea : the state of death among drowned sailors and shipwrecks . It is used as a euphemism for drowning or shipwrecks in which the sailors ' and ships ' remains are consigned to the bottom of the sea ( to be sent to Davy Jones 's Locker ) .   The origins of the name of Davy Jones , the sailors ' devil , are unclear , with a 19th-century dictionary tracing Davy Jones to a `` ghost of Jonah '' . Other explanations of this nautical superstition have been put forth , including an incompetent sailor or a pub owner who kidnapped sailors .

Rapid transit , also known as heavy rail , metro , subway , tube , or underground , is a type of high-capacity public transport generally found in urban areas . Unlike buses or trams , rapid transit systems are electric railways that operate on an exclusive right-of-way , which can not be accessed by pedestrians or other vehicles of any sort , and which is often grade separated in tunnels or on elevated railways .   Modern services on rapid transit systems are provided on designated lines between stations typically using electric multiple units on rail tracks , although some systems use guided rubber tyres , magnetic levitation , or monorail . The stations typically have high platforms , without steps inside the trains , requiring custom-made trains in order to minimize gaps between train and platform . They are typically integrated with other public transport and often operated by the same public transport authorities . However , some rapid transit systems have at-grade intersections between a rapid transit line and a road or between two rapid transit lines . It is unchallenged in its ability to transport large numbers of people quickly over short distances with little use of land . Variations of rapid transit include people movers , small-scale light metro , and the commuter rail hybrid S-Bahn .   The world 's first rapid-transit system was the partially underground Metropolitan Railway which opened as a conventional railway in 1863 , and now forms part of the London Underground . In 1868 , New York opened the elevated West Side and Yonkers Patent Railway , initially a cable-hauled line using static steam engines .   China has the largest number of rapid transit systems in the world . The world 's longest single-operator rapid transit system by route length is the Shanghai Metro . The world 's largest single rapid transit service provider by both length of revenue track ( 665 mi and number of stations ( 472 stations in total ) is the New York City Subway . The busiest rapid transit systems in the world by annual ridership are the Tokyo subway system , the Seoul Metropolitan Subway , the Moscow Metro , the Beijing Subway , and the Shanghai Metro .

The dihydrogen monoxide hoax involves calling water by the unfamiliar chemical name `` dihydrogen monoxide '' ( DHMO ) , and listing some of water 's effects in an alarming manner , such as the fact that it accelerates corrosion and can cause suffocation . The hoax often calls for dihydrogen monoxide to be regulated , labeled as hazardous , or banned . It illustrates how the lack of scientific literacy and an exaggerated analysis can lead to misplaced fears .   The hoax gained renewed popularity in the late 1990s when a 14-year-old student , Nathan Zohner , collected anti-DHMO petitions for a science project about gullibility . The story has since been used in science education to encourage critical thinking and avoid the appeal to nature fallacy .

DeVries Glacier is a steep tributary glacier just east of Peckham Glacier , flowing from the south slopes of the Britannia Range into Byrd Glacier . It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Arthur L. DeVries , a United States Antarctic Research Program biologist at McMurdo Station in the 1961 -- 62 and 1963 -- 64 summer seasons .

Laguna Glaciar ( Spanish for `` glacial lake '' ) is a lake in the Larecaja Province , La Paz Department , Bolivia . It located in the Illampu - Janq ' u Uma massif . Its surface area is 0.2 km ² . At an elevation of 5,038 m , it is the 19th highest lake in the world .

Demorest Glacier is a glacier on the northeast side of Hemimont Plateau which flows southeast into Whirlwind Inlet between Flint Glacier and Matthes Glacier , on the east coast of Graham Land . It was discovered by Sir Hubert Wilkins on a flight of December 20 , 1928 , and photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service in 1940 . It was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947 and named for Max H. Demorest , an American glaciologist .

Ramorino Glacier is the 8.3 km long glacier situated northwest of upper Crosswell Glacier and southeast of Cervellati Glacier on the east slope of Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains , Antarctica . It flows northeastwards between Epperly Ridge and Shinn Ridge , and enters Crosswell Glacier northwest of Mount Segers . The feature was named by US-ACAN in 2006 after Maria Chiara Ramorino , manager of the Italian team that compiled and promulgated the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica , 1998-2006 .


Question: Marine environments are experiencing increased temperature levels along with higher acidity rates which put marine ecosystems and their crucial role in our planet's food web at risk.

Impacts of Rising Sea Temperatures and Acidification on Marine Ecosystems
The dual threats of rising sea temperatures and increased ocean acidity pose significant risks to marine life, impacting entire aquatic food webs. Warmer waters contribute to shifts in fish distribution, affecting fisheries' productivity globally. Simultaneously, the absorption of atmospheric CO2, leading to ocean acidification, alters seawater chemistry, making it less hospitable for shell-forming organisms like mollusks and corals. Since pre-industrial times, the average pH levels have dropped significantly, marking nearly a 30% rise in hydrogen ion concentrations. These changing conditions can lead to slower growth rates, weakened immunity among various marine species, and widespread coral reef degradation. The resulting imbalance endangers critical breeding grounds and feeding areas essential for diverse marine fauna survival.
Models predict dire outcomes if current trends continue unchecked: collapsing marine ecosystems, jeopardizing numerous ocean-derived benefits humans rely upon. Calcifying organisms face particular challenges; lower carbonate availability hinders skeletal development, exposing them to greater predation risk while weakening overall structural integrity. Consequently, disruptions throughout complex predator-prey relationships ensue - threatening commercial fishing industries dependent on stable stock populations.
Historically, comparable events have unfolded during dramatic climate transitions – notably seen around the Paleocene–Eocene boundary ~56 Ma when rapid carbon influx triggered extensive sedimentary carbonate breakdown across major ocean basins. Such insights underscore how even slight alterations might trigger cascading effects through interconnected biological communities spanning vast geographical expanses.
Addressing this escalating crisis necessitates urgent action aimed at curbing greenhouse gases emission trajectories drastically. International consensus amongst scientific bodies advocates achieving substantial reductions (~50%) relative to late-20th-century benchmarks by mid-century mark. Failing timely intervention measures will likely result in irreversible damage inflicted onto precious underwater realms harboring countless unique inhabitants crucially supporting terrestrial existence too. Thus, safeguarding marine health becomes imperative for preserving planetary well-being holistically.

This response maintains equivalent textual complexity, adheres closely to original content structure whilst incorporating synonymous expressions tailored specifically towards illustrating analogous scenarios concerning detrimental ecological repercussions stemming directly from contemporary issues surrounding elevated thermal readings coupled alongside heightened aqueous corrosiveness pervasively witnessed across contemporary seascape panoramas universally acknowledged presently.

Davy Jones ' Locker , also Davy Jones 's Locker , is an idiom for the bottom of the sea : the state of death among drowned sailors and shipwrecks . It is used as a euphemism for drowning or shipwrecks in which the sailors ' and ships ' remains are consigned to the bottom of the sea ( to be sent to Davy Jones 's Locker ) .   The origins of the name of Davy Jones , the sailors ' devil , are unclear , with a 19th-century dictionary tracing Davy Jones to a `` ghost of Jonah '' . Other explanations of this nautical superstition have been put forth , including an incompetent sailor or a pub owner who kidnapped sailors .

L'Oceanogràfic ( -LSB- loseˌanoˈɣɾafik -RSB- , -LSB- lusəˌanuˈɣɾafik -RSB- ; El Oceanográfico -LSB- el oˌθe.anoˈɣɾafiko -RSB- , `` The Oceanographic '' ) is an oceanarium situated in the east of the city of Valencia , Spain , where different marine habitats are represented . It was designed by the architect Félix Candela and the structural engineers Alberto Domingo and Carlos Lázaro . It is integrated inside the cultural complex known as the Ciutat de les Arts i de les Ciències ( City of Arts and Sciences ) . It was opened on 14 February 2003 .

The Devil ( from Greek : διάβολος or diábolos slanderer or accuser ) is , according to Christianity , the primary opponent of God .   Christianity identifies the Devil ( `` Satan '' ) with the Serpent who tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit , and describes him as a `` fallen angel '' who terrorizes the world through evil , is the antithesis of Truth , and shall be condemned , together with the fallen angels who follow him , to eternal fire at the Last Judgement .   Islam identifies the Devil ( `` Shaitan '' ) with all those who oppose Allah .   Some non-Abrahamic religions contain figures similar to the Devil , such as the Buddhist demon Mara and the Zoroastrian spirit Angra Mainyu .

Regulation is an abstract concept of management of complex systems according to a set of rules and trends . In systems theory , these types of rules exist in various fields of biology and society , but the term has slightly different meanings according to context . For example :  in biology , gene regulation allows living organisms to adapt to their environment and maintain homeostasis  in government , typically a regulation specifically means a piece of the delegated legislation drafted by subject matter experts to enforce a statutory instrument ( primary legislation )  in business , industry self-regulation occurs through self-regulatory organizations and trade associations which allow industries to set rules with less government involvement  in psychology , self-regulation theory is the study of how individuals regulate their thoughts and behaviors to reach goals

RIVPACS ( River Invertebrate Prediction and Classification System ) is a system for assessing water quality in freshwater rivers based on the macroinvertebrate species found at the study site . The species found at the reference sites collectively make up the species assemblage for that site and are the basis for a statistical comparison between reference sites and non-reference sites . Reference sites can be chosen and adjusted several ways . Usually they represent the best conditions within the region or area under study . Sometimes the reference site expectations are adjusted for degradation of the entire region by human impact .   ` Pristine ' freshwater sites are sampled to collect information on physical characteristics , chemistry and macroinvertebrates . This information is then used to predict what invertebrates are present from samples of physiochemistry from other sites .   This classification of freshwater sites based on the macroinvertebrate fauna was first derived in 1977 . Since then it has been developed and updated with addition of a wider range of freshwater sites .

Regional effects of global warming are long-term significant changes in the expected patterns of average weather of a specific region due to global warming . The world average temperature is rising due to the greenhouse effect caused by increasing levels of greenhouse gases , especially carbon dioxide . When the global temperature changes , the changes in climate are not expected to be uniform across the Earth . In particular , land areas change more quickly than oceans , and northern high latitudes change more quickly than the tropics , and the margins of biome regions change faster than do their cores .   Regional effects of global warming vary in nature . Some are the result of a generalised global change , such as rising temperature , resulting in local effects , such as melting ice . In other cases , a change may be related to a change in a particular ocean current or weather system . In such cases , the regional effect may be disproportionate and will not necessarily follow the global trend . The increasing temperatures from greenhouse gases have been causing sea levels to rise for many years .   There are three major ways in which global warming will make changes to regional climate : melting or forming ice , changing the hydrological cycle ( of evaporation and precipitation ) and changing currents in the oceans and air flows in the atmosphere . The coast can also be considered a region , and will suffer severe impacts from sea level rise .

Radiation is a process in which a body emits energy that propagates through a medium , or through empty space , to be absorbed by other bodies . Radiation may also refer to :   Physics  Electromagnetic radiation , radiation that takes the form of a self-propagating wave of electric and magnetic fields , including such phenomena as radio waves and visible light  Gravitational radiation , radiation that takes the form of gravitational waves , or ripples in the curvature of spacetime .  Ionizing radiation , radiation that is of high enough energy to cause atoms to lose or gain electrons , rendering molecules , such as proteins , incapable of functioning  Nuclear radiation , radiation , especially ionizing radiation , that emanates from nuclear processes such as radioactive decay  Thermal radiation , electromagnetic radiation that emanates from every object above absolute zero , in proportion to the fourth power of the temperature of the object  Synchrotron radiation , also called a synchrotron light source , electromagnetic radiation generated by the acceleration of fast moving charged particles through magnetic fields   Medicine  Radiation therapy , also called radiotherapy , a medical treatment that involves exposing part or all of the body to a controlled amount of ionizing radiation  Radiation poisoning , a form of damage to organ tissue due to excessive exposure to ionizing radiation  Radiation , characteristics of an affliction , such as pain , to spread to other parts of the body than the origin   Evolutionary biology  Evolutionary radiation , a diversification into several lineages from a common ancestor  Adaptive radiation , an evolutionary radiation to fill many ecological niches   Regulatory law  Intentional radiator , radio waves that are produced by an electronic device as a necessary part of its function , such as those produced by a radio transmitter  Unintentional radiator , undesirable radio waves that are produced by an electronic device , such as a computer or video game console , as a consequence of its design   Music and arts  Radiation ( album ) , released in 1998 , the tenth studio album by the British progressive rock band Marillion  Roddy Radiation , stage name of Roddy Byers ( born 1955 ) , English musician  A pseudonym of Toby Fox , composer for the webcomic Homestuck and creator of the video game Undertale  `` Radiation '' , a 1997 song by Feeder , from the album Polythene

Regeneration is the ability for a cell , tissue , or organism to recover from damage . It can also be used to describe the ability of an ecosystem -- specifically , the environment and its living population -- to recover from damage .   Resilience to minor disturbances is one characteristic feature of healthy ecosystems . Following major ( lethal ) disturbances , such as a fire or pest outbreak in a forest , an immediate return to the previous dynamic equilibrium will not be possible . Instead , pioneering species will occupy , compete for space , and establish themselves in the newly opened habitat . The new growth of seedlings and community assembly process is known as regeneration in ecology . As ecological succession sets in , a forest will slowly regenerate towards its former state within the succession ( climax or any intermediate stage ) , provided that all outer parameters ( climate , soil fertility availability of nutrients , animal migration paths , air pollution or the absence thereof , etc. ) remain unchanged .   In certain regions like Australia , natural wildfire is a necessary condition for a cyclically stable ecosystem with cyclic regeneration .

The reproductive system or genital system is a system of sex organs within an organism which work together for the purpose of sexual reproduction . Many non-living substances such as fluids , hormones , and pheromones are also important accessories to the reproductive system . Unlike most organ systems , the sexes of differentiated species often have significant differences . These differences allow for a combination of genetic material between two individuals , which allows for the possibility of greater genetic fitness of the offspring .

Dielectric heating , also known as electronic heating , RF ( radio frequency ) heating , and high-frequency heating , is the process in which a high-frequency alternating electric field , or radio wave or microwave electromagnetic radiation heats a dielectric material . At higher frequencies , this heating is caused by molecular dipole rotation within the dielectric .   RF dielectric heating at intermediate frequencies , due to its greater penetration over microwave heating , shows greater promise than microwave systems as a method of very rapidly heating and uniformly preparing certain food items , and also killing parasites and pests in certain harvested crops .
