Question: Lord Christopher Monckton misapplied the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) formula in his climate change analysis.

 Misapplication of Climate Models: A Critical Analysis

Monckton’s approach to utilizing Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodologies has been deemed problematic and unsuitable within scientific communities. His interpretation specifically revolves around employing complex atmospheric simulation tools – known formally as General Circulation Models (GCM). These sophisticated systems integrate fundamental physics principles into algorithms capable of predicting meteorological phenomena across vast spatial scales; they incorporate elements such as air pressure gradients, moisture content variations, solar irradiance absorption mechanisms among others. However, critics argue that Monckton misrepresents both theoretical frameworks underpinning GCM operations alongside empirical evidence gathered through rigorous testing phases conducted globally. Initially developed during pioneering research endeavors led jointly by Dr.Syukuro Manabe & Prof.Kirk Bryan hailing from prestigious institutions located near Eastern seaboard regions encompassing areas surrounding major cities like Newark (NJ), current iterations continue evolving rapidly thanks largely unto advancements achieved within computational science paradigms spanning multiple decades henceforth enabling more accurate long-term projections concerning anthropogenic impacts upon biosphere dynamics overall. Despite this progress though, there remains significant room for improvement especially when attempting to reconcile discrepancies arising amongst different modeling scenarios proposed recently amidst ongoing debates centered round efficacy metrics associated herewith accordingly.

In statistics , originally in geostatistics , kriging or Gaussian process regression is a method of interpolation for which the interpolated values are modeled by a Gaussian process governed by prior covariances , as opposed to a piecewise-polynomial spline chosen to optimize smoothness of the fitted values . Under suitable assumptions on the priors , kriging gives the best linear unbiased prediction of the intermediate values . Interpolating methods based on other criteria such as smoothness need not yield the most likely intermediate values . The method is widely used in the domain of spatial analysis and computer experiments . The technique is also known as Wiener -- Kolmogorov prediction , after Norbert Wiener and Andrey Kolmogorov .   The theoretical basis for the method was developed by the French mathematician Georges Matheron in 1960 , based on the Master 's thesis of Danie G. Krige , the pioneering plotter of distance-weighted average gold grades at the Witwatersrand reef complex in South Africa . Krige sought to estimate the most likely distribution of gold based on samples from a few boreholes . The English verb is to krige and the most common noun is kriging ; both are often pronounced with a hard `` g '' , following the pronunciation of the name `` Krige '' . The word is sometimes capitalized as Kriging in the literature .

The Radbruch Formula ( German : Radbruchsche Formel ) is a theory of law which was first formulated in a 1946 essay by the German law professor and politician Gustav Radbruch . According to the theory , a judge who encounters a conflict between a statute and what he perceives as just , has to decide against applying the statute if - and only if - the legal concept behind the statute in question seems either `` unbearably injust '' or in `` deliberate disregard '' of human equality before the law .   Radbruch 's Formula is rooted in the situation of a Civil Law System . It is believed to be a reaction of Radbruch 's experience of the judiciary in Nazi Germany and has been applied in the decision of courts in the Federal Republic of Germany numerous times . By some authors , the Radbruch essay Gesetzliches Unrecht und übergesetzliches Recht , which first included his theory , is regarded as one of the most influential legal-philosophical writings of the 20th Century .

George Redmond Fitzpatrick Morris , 4th Baron Killanin ( born 26 January 1947 , Dublin , Ireland ) , is an Irish film producer .   Born into a notable Irish family , the Morrises were one of the fourteen families making up ` the Tribes of Galway ' , he is the eldest son of The 3rd Baron Killanin , former President of the International Olympic Committee . His mother , Sheila , was the daughther of Canon Douglas Dunlop , Rector of Oughterard and the granddaughter of Henry Dunlop who was involved in the construction of Lansdowne Road in 1872 . He was educated at Gonzaga College in Ranelagh , Dublin , and at Ampleforth College and , later , at the Dublin University . In the 1970s he worked as an assistant director , before becoming production manager in such films as The Draughtsman 's Contract and Gorky Park , before moving into overall production and executive production .   Lord Killanin is usually credited as Redmond Morris in film productions . He is usually known to family and close friends as Red Killanin or Red Morris .

David John Cawdell Irving ( born 24 March 1938 ) is an English Holocaust denier and author who has written on the military and political history of World War II , with a focus on Nazi Germany . His works include The Destruction of Dresden ( 1963 ) , Hitler 's War ( 1977 ) , Churchill 's War ( 1987 ) , and Goebbels : Mastermind of the Third Reich ( 1996 ) . In his works , he argued that antisemitic dictator Hitler , malevolent orchestrator of the Holocaust , did not know of the extermination of Jews or , if he did , opposed it . Though Irving 's revisionist views of World War II were never taken seriously by mainstream historians , he was once recognised for his knowledge of Nazi Germany and his ability to unearth new historical documents .   Irving marginalized himself in 1988 when , based on his reading of the pseudoscientific Leuchter report , he began to espouse Holocaust denial , specifically denying that Jews were murdered by gassing at the Auschwitz extermination camp .   Irving 's reputation as an historian was discredited when , in the course of an unsuccessful libel case he filed against the American historian Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books , he was shown to have deliberately misrepresented historical evidence to promote Holocaust denial . The English court found that Irving was an active Holocaust denier , antisemite , and racist , who `` for his own ideological reasons persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence '' . In addition , the court found that Irving 's books had distorted the history of Adolf Hitler 's role in the Holocaust to depict Hitler in a favourable light .

A declaration of war is a formal declaration issued by a national government indicating that a state of war exists between that nation and another . In the United Kingdom , only the monarch has the power to declare war and peace , under the royal prerogative . There have been no declarations of war since the Second World War , though British Armed Forces have taken part in armed conflict on numerous occasions nonetheless .   There has been a long-running debate regarding whether Parliament alone should have the power to declare war and more widely to commit British forces to armed conflict . This was attempted ( to the limited extent of possible war against Iraq ) in 1999 with the introduction of the Military Action Against Iraq ( Parliamentary Approval ) Bill . However Queen Elizabeth II , acting upon the advice of her government at the time , refused to grant her consent to allow the bill to be debated in Parliament and so it was dropped ( Queen 's Consent was needed before debate could take place because the bill affected the royal prerogative ) . The Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 originally included a section that would have required Parliamentary approval for use of the armed forces , but this was dropped from the bill before royal assent .

LOLCODE is an esoteric programming language inspired by lolspeak , the language expressed in examples of the lolcat Internet meme . The language was created in 2007 by Adam Lindsay , researcher at the Computing Department of Lancaster University .   The language is not clearly defined in terms of operator priorities and correct syntax , but several functioning interpreters and compilers exist . One interpretation of the language has been proven Turing-complete .

Ralf Gustav Dahrendorf , Baron Dahrendorf , ( 1 May 1929 -- 17 June 2009 ) was a German-British sociologist , philosopher , political scientist and liberal politician . A class conflict theorist , Dahrendorf was a leading expert on explaining and analyzing class divisions in modern society , and is regarded as `` one of the most influential thinkers of his generation . '' Dahrendorf wrote multiple articles and books , his most notable being Class Conflict in Industrial Society ( 1959 ) and Essays in the Theory of Society ( 1968 ) .   During his political career , he was a Member of the German Parliament , Parliamentary Secretary of State at the Foreign Office of Germany , European Commissioner for External Relations and Trade , European Commissioner for Research , Science and Education and Member of the British House of Lords , after he was created a life peer in 1993 . He was subsequently known in the United Kingdom as Lord Dahrendorf .   He served as director of the London School of Economics and Warden of St Antony 's College , University of Oxford . He also served as a Professor of Sociology at a number of universities in Germany and the United Kingdom , and was a Research Professor at the Berlin Social Science Research Center .


Question: Lord Monckton misapplied the formula provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in his analysis.

 Misinterpretation of Scientific Data: Lord Monckton’s Approach

In recent debates regarding climate change, critics often scrutinize methodologies employed within scientific assessments. One notable case involves Christopher Monckton, who was accused of misusing equations provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). His approach allegedly distorted interpretations surrounding projected temperatures increases resulting from greenhouse gas concentrations.

Monckton criticized certain aspects of mainstream climate research while promoting alternative views based largely upon his own analyses. Critics argue he selectively applied data without adequately considering broader contexts established through rigorous peer-reviewed studies conducted globally across multiple disciplines spanning several decades. They contend that his selective use of information overlooks critical nuances essential when interpreting complex datasets derived from various sources including historical observations alongside sophisticated modeling techniques designed specifically to forecast future scenarios under different policy pathways chosen collectively amongst participating nations aiming reduce harmful pollutants contributing significantly towards accelerating planetary heating trends observable throughout much contemporary literature pertaining directly towards understanding underlying mechanisms governing atmospheric dynamics relevant hereunder especially concerning how they relate explicitly onto questions revolving around anthropogenically induced alterations impacting overall thermal equilibrium states achieved naturally over extended periods prior thereto henceforth necessitating urgent action aimed squarely addressing root causes thereof lest irreversible damage ensue threatening countless ecosystems harboring myriad lifeforms dependent thereupon for survival thereby placing humanity itself perilously close unto brink precipice awaiting those failing heed warnings emanating forthwith unheeded thus far albeit growing louder every passing day heralding impending doom unless course corrected posthaste...

Clinton Richard Dawkins ( born 26 March 1941 ) is an English ethologist , evolutionary biologist and author . He is an emeritus fellow of New College , Oxford , and was the University of Oxford 's Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008 .   Dawkins first came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene , which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term meme . With his book The Extended Phenotype ( 1982 ) , he introduced into evolutionary biology the influential concept that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism 's body , but can stretch far into the environment . In 2006 , he founded the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science .   Dawkins is an atheist , and is well known for his criticism of creationism and intelligent design . In The Blind Watchmaker ( 1986 ) , he argues against the watchmaker analogy , an argument for the existence of a supernatural creator based upon the complexity of living organisms . Instead , he describes evolutionary processes as analogous to a blind watchmaker in that reproduction , mutation , and selection are unguided by any designer . In The God Delusion ( 2006 ) , Dawkins contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that religious faith is a delusion . He opposes the teaching of creationism in schools .   Dawkins has been awarded many prestigious academic and writing awards and he makes regular television , radio and Internet appearances , predominantly discussing his books , his atheism , and his ideas and opinions as a public intellectual .

Richard Baron ( born 1958 ) is a philosopher living in London . He was educated at Aylesbury Grammar School and at Selwyn College , Cambridge .   His first book , Projects and Values , argues for a foundationalist virtue ethic , against the background of a structured approach to the cultural relativity of value-concepts and a conception of the human subject that is inspired by Ludwig Wittgenstein .   His second book , Deliberation and Reason , analyses our processes of deliberation . He argues that we have to see ourselves as enjoying a freedom that is incompatible with determinism , in order to support our self-conception as self-directed subjects . He then argues that we can see ourselves as having that kind of freedom if we overlook the causal closure of the physical , and that this vision of ourselves can sit alongside the scientific account of ourselves .   His third book , Confidence in Claims , is an exercise in applied epistemology . It investigates how features of various academic disciplines should affect our confidence in the correctness of claims that experts in the relevant disciplines make .   He has published articles in Philosophy Now ( February 2006 and May 2012 ) and in the Ethical Record ( July 2005 , May 2006 , March 2011 and October 2013 ) .   He has also had a career as an adviser on tax policy , both for the British Government and for the Institute of Directors .

Question: Scientific evidence from theoretical frameworks, predictive models, and empirical observations consistently demonstrate that carbon dioxide emissions predominantly propel contemporary climatic alterations.

 Understanding the Role of Carbon Dioxide in Climate Change
Carbon dioxide (CO2), released through various anthropogenic activities, has been identified as the leading contributor to contemporary climate change based on scientific theories, predictive models, and empirical evidence gathered via meticulous measurements. These findings underscore its pivotal role in shaping current trends within earth’s climate systems.

Feedback mechanisms inherent within nature either exacerbate or mitigate impacts resulting from initial stimuli - known scientifically as ‘forcings’. Such interactions can significantly influence overall planetary warmth levels; thus impacting long-term weather patterns & ecosystems stability alike! When considering how different elements interact together under varying conditions – whether naturally occurring phenomena like volcanic eruptions or man-made alterations e.g., deforestation–it becomes clear why scientists refer specifically hereafter when discussing “positive” versus "negative" types respectively: The former refers explicitly those instances whereby increasing quantities A subsequently result B becoming even greater still whereas latter implies opposite scenario altogether i.e decreased values instead!

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 .

In particle physics , the ADD model , also known as the model with large extra dimensions ( LED ) , is a model framework that attempts to solve the hierarchy problem by explaining the weakness of gravity relative to the other forces . This hypothesis requires that the fields of the Standard Model be confined to a four-dimensional membrane , while gravity propagates in several additional spatial dimensions that are large compared to the Planck scale .   The model was proposed by Nima Arkani-Hamed , Savas Dimopoulos , and Gia Dvali in 1998 .   Results from the Large Hadron Collider do not appear to support the model thus far . However the operation range of the LHC ( 4 TeV ) covers only a small part of the predicted range in which evidence for LED would be recorded ( a few TeV to 1016 TeV ) .

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 .

Representational systems ( also known as sensory modalities and abbreviated to VAKOG or known as the 4-tuple ) is a postulated model from neuro-linguistic programming , a pseudoscientific collection of theories , regarding how the human mind supposedly processes and stores information . The central idea of this model is that experience is represented in the mind in sensorial terms , i.e. in terms of the putative five senses .   According to Bandler and Grinder our chosen words , phrases and sentences are indicative of our referencing of each of the representational systems . So for example the words `` black '' , `` clear '' , `` spiral '' and `` image '' reference the visual representation system ; similarly the words `` tinkling '' , `` silent '' , `` squeal '' and `` blast '' reference the auditory representation system . Bandler and Grinder also propose that ostensibly metaphorical or figurative language indicates a reference to a representational system such that it is actually literal . For example , the comment `` I see what you 're saying '' is taken to indicate a visual representation .   Further , Bandler and Grinder claim that each person has a `` most highly valued '' ( now commonly termed preferred ) representational system in which they are more able to vividly create an experience ( in their mind ) in terms of that representational system , tend to use that representational system more often than the others , and have more distinctions available in that representation system than the others . So for example a person that most highly values their visual representation system is able to easily and vividly visualise things and has a tendency to do so in preference to creating or recreating an experience in terms of the other representational system .   Representational systems are one of the foundational ideas of NLP and form the basis of many NLP techniques and methods .

For classical dynamics at relativistic speeds , see relativistic mechanics .   Relativistic dynamics refers to a combination of relativistic and quantum concepts to describe the relationships between the motion and properties of a relativistic system and the forces acting on the system . What distinguishes relativistic dynamics from other physical theories is the use of an invariant scalar evolution parameter to monitor the historical evolution of space-time events . In a scale-invariant theory , the strength of particle interactions does not depend on the energy of the particles involved .  Twentieth century experiments showed that the physical description of microscopic and submicroscopic objects moving at or near the speed of light raised questions about such fundamental concepts as space , time , mass , and energy . The theoretical description of the physical phenomena required the integration of concepts from relativity and quantum theory .   Vladimir Fock was the first to propose an evolution parameter theory for describing relativistic quantum phenomena , but the evolution parameter theory introduced by Ernst Stueckelberg is more closely aligned with recent work . Evolution parameter theories were used by Feynman , Schwinger and others to formulate quantum field theory in the late 1940s and early 1950s . Silvan S. Schweber wrote a nice historical exposition of Feynman 's investigation of such a theory . A resurgence of interest in evolution parameter theories began in the 1970s with the work of Horwitz and Piron , and Fanchi and Collins .

Darwin on Trial is a 1991 book about the theory of evolution and the creation-evolution debate by Harvard graduate and University of California , Berkeley law professor emeritus Phillip E. Johnson . Because of the number of legal arguments based on science or scientific evidence , Johnson became interested in the presuppositions of scientific investigation and wrote the book with the thesis that evolution could be `` tried '' like a defendant in court . Darwin on Trial became a central text of the intelligent design movement principally fathered by Johnson .   Eugenie Scott wrote that , in her opinion , the book `` teaches little that is accurate about either the nature of science , or the topic of evolution . It is recommended neither by scientists nor educators . '' But others disagree . Scott pointed out in a second review that `` the criticisms of evolution -LSB- Johnson -RSB- offers are immediately recognizable as originating with the `` scientific '' creationists '' .

`` Lateral pressure '' refers to any tendency ( or propensity ) of individuals and societies to expand their activities and exert influence and control beyond their established boundaries , whether for economic , political , military , scientific , religious , or other purposes ( Choucri and North , 1972 ; 1975 ; Ashley , 1980 ; Choucri and North , 1989 ; North , 1990 ; Choucri , North and Yamakage , 1992 ; Lofdahl , 2000 ) . Framed by Robert C. North and Nazli Choucri , the theory addresses the sources and consequences of such a tendency .   Lateral pressure is a relatively neutral concept similar to what Pitirim Sorokin ( 1957 : 565 ) called economic expansion and Simon Kuznets ( 1966 , 334-348 ) referred to more broadly as outward expansion . The strength of a country 's lateral pressure is generally taken to correlate positively with its `` power '' as conventionally understood . The theory of lateral pressure draws on the level of analysis or Image perspective in international relations ( Boulding 1956 ; Waltz ( 1979 ) largely as an initial framing and extends this traditional perspective in specific ways .   Lateral Pressure theory seeks to explain the relationships between domestic growth and international behavior . The causal logic runs from the internal drivers , the master variables that shape the profiles of states -- through the intervening effects of socially aggregated and articulated demands and institutional capabilities -- toward modes of external behavior designed to meet demands given the capabilities at hand ( Choucri and North , 1989 ) . To the extent that states extend their behavior outside territorial boundaries -- driven by a wide range of capabilities and motivations -- they are likely to encounter other states similarly engaged . Intersection among spheres of influence is thus the first step of the dynamics leading to conflict and violence . The subsequent developments are contingent on the actors ` intents , capabilities , and activities . Framed thus , the theory addresses the sources and consequences of transformation and change in international relations .   Choucri and North ( 1972 ; 1975 ) formulated the first phase of the theory of lateral pressure in qualitative as well as quantitative terms . They noted that , in general , the strength of a country 's lateral pressure correlates positively with its capabilities and `` power '' ( a concept that is almost universally used but defined with difficulty ) . Lateral pressure theory provides a more detailed and nuanced view of the sources of power , the types of leverages , manifestations , and the behaviors that can be inferred . It puts forth specific propositions for why certain types of international behaviors or activities appear to be more prevalent in some countries than others . For reviews of the lateral pressure theory see , for example , Levy 2005 ; and Schweller and Pollins , 1999 ) .

A differential equation is a mathematical equation that relates some function with its derivatives . In applications , the functions usually represent physical quantities , the derivatives represent their rates of change , and the equation defines a relationship between the two . Because such relations are extremely common , differential equations play a prominent role in many disciplines including engineering , physics , economics , and biology .   In pure mathematics , differential equations are studied from several different perspectives , mostly concerned with their solutions -- the set of functions that satisfy the equation . Only the simplest differential equations are solvable by explicit formulas ; however , some properties of solutions of a given differential equation may be determined without finding their exact form .   If a self-contained formula for the solution is not available , the solution may be numerically approximated using computers . The theory of dynamical systems puts emphasis on qualitative analysis of systems described by differential equations , while many numerical methods have been developed to determine solutions with a given degree of accuracy .

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

A research design is the set of methods and procedures used in collecting and analyzing measures of the variables specificed in the research problem research study . The design of a study defines the study type ( descriptive , correlational , semi-experimental , experimental , review , meta-analytic ) and sub-type ( e.g. , descriptive-longitudinal case study ) , research problem , hypotheses , independent and dependent variables , experimental design , and , if applicable , data collection methods and a statistical analysis plan .  Research design is the framework that has been created to find answers to research questions .


Question: Scientific evidence from theoretical frameworks, simulations, and empirical observations consistently demonstrate that carbon dioxide stands as the primary contributor to contemporary climate alterations.

 Carbon Dioxide: A Key Factor in Climate Change
Carbon dioxide (CO2), a potent greenhouse gas emitted through various anthropogenic activities, has been identified as the leading contributor to contemporary climate change based on robust evidence gathered via theoretical analysis, sophisticated modeling, and empirical measurements. Scientists employ diverse methodologies - integrating theoretical frameworks, computer simulations, and observational data - to comprehensively assess how elevated levels of atmospheric CO2 correlate with rising temperatures globally. These approaches collectively underscore the pivotal role played by increased carbon emissions in accelerating climate shifts observed during recent decades. Moreover, they highlight the urgent need for mitigation strategies aimed at curbing CO2 output to stabilize earth’s climate system. Interdisciplinary research continues to refine understanding around mechanisms linking greenhouse gases emission profiles and long-term planetary health outcomes.
Theoretical insights coupled with advancements in computational power enable researchers across multiple disciplines – physics, chemistry, biology etc.,–to collaboratively develop predictive tools designed specifically tackle complex issues surrounding global warming phenomenon; thereby informing policy decisions geared towards sustainable development practices going forward. Additionally, there exists significant interest among educators aiming promote awareness regarding importance associated conducting rigorous investigations into underlying dynamics governing interactions amongst biotic & abiotic components comprising terrestrial ecosystems amidst changing environmental conditions brought forth escalating concentrations GHGs within atmosphere.

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 .

Data farming is the process of using designed computational experiments to `` grow '' data , which can then be analyzed using statistical and visualization techniques to obtain insight into complex systems . These methods can be applied to any computational model .   Data farming differs from Data mining , as the following metaphors indicate :  Miners seek valuable nuggets of ore buried in the earth , but have no control over what is out there or how hard it is to extract the nuggets from their surroundings . ... Similarly , data miners seek to uncover valuable nuggets of information buried within massive amounts of data . Data-mining techniques use statistical and graphical measures to try to identify interesting correlations or clusters in the data set .   Farmers cultivate the land to maximize their yield . They manipulate the environment to their advantage using irrigation , pest control , crop rotation , fertilizer , and more . Small-scale designed experiments let them determine whether these treatments are effective . Similarly , data farmers manipulate simulation models to their advantage , using large-scale designed experimentation to grow data from their models in a manner that easily lets them extract useful information . ... the results can reveal root cause-and-effect relationships between the model input factors and the model responses , in addition to rich graphical and statistical views of these relationships .   A NATO modeling and simulation task group has documented the data farming process in the Final Report of MSG-088 .  Here , data farming uses collaborative processes in combining rapid scenario prototyping , simulation modeling , design of experiments , high performance computing , and analysis and visualization in an iterative loop-of-loops .

A diagram is a symbolic representation of information according to some visualization technique . Diagrams have been used since ancient times , but became more prevalent during the Enlightenment . Sometimes , the technique uses a three-dimensional visualization which is then projected onto a two-dimensional surface . The word graph is sometimes used as a synonym for diagram .

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 .

Radical theory is an obsolete scientific theory in chemistry describing the structure of organic compounds . The theory was pioneered by Justus von Liebig , Friedrich Wöhler and Auguste Laurent around 1830 and is not related to the modern understanding of free radicals . In this theory , organic compounds were thought to exist as combinations of radicals that could be exchanged in chemical reactions just as chemical elements could be interchanged in inorganic compounds .

A dark matter halo is a hypothetical component of a galaxy that envelops the galactic disc and extends well beyond the edge of the visible galaxy . The halo 's mass dominates the total mass . Since they consist of dark matter , halos can not be observed directly , but their existence is inferred through their effects on the motions of stars and gas in galaxies . Dark matter halos play a key role in current models of galaxy formation and evolution .

A research proposal is a document proposal a research project , generally in the sciences or academia , and generally constitutes a request for sponsorship of that research . Proposals are evaluated on the cost and potential impact of the proposed research , and on the soundness of the proposed plan for carrying it out . Research proposals generally address several key points :  What research question ( s ) will be addressed , and how they will be addressed  How much time and expense will be required for the research  What prior research has been done on the topic  How the results of the research will be evaluated  How the research will benefit the sponsoring organization and other parties

A refrigerant is a substance or mixture , usually a fluid , used in a heat pump and refrigeration cycle . In most cycles it undergoes phase transitions from a liquid to a gas and back again . Many working fluids have been used for such purposes . Fluorocarbons , especially chlorofluorocarbons , became commonplace in the 20th century , but they are being phased out because of their ozone depletion effects . Other common refrigerants used in various applications are ammonia , sulfur dioxide , and non-halogenated hydrocarbons such as propane .

Daycent is a daily time series biogeochemical model used in agroecosystems to simulates fluxes of carbon and nitrogen between the atmosphere , vegetation , and soil . It is a daily version of the CENTURY biogeochemical model .   The United States Environmental Protection Agency , United States Department of Agriculture/ARS and the Colorado State University Natural Resource Ecology Lab are currently using the Daycent model to develop a national inventory of N2O emissions from U.S. agricultural soils . This inventory will be compared and contrasted with the existing Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) agricultural N2O emissions inventory for the United States . Having more accurate data to account for nutrient cycling could have significant implications for public policy associated with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ) and potential future mitigation efforts in the United States .   Model inputs include daily maximum/minimum air temperature and precipitation , surface soil texture class , and land cover/use data . Model outputs include daily fluxes of various N-gas species ( e.g. , N2O , NOx , N2 ) ; daily CO2 flux from heterotrophic soil respiration ; soil organic C and N ; net primary productivity ; daily water and nitrate ( NO3 ) leaching , and other ecosystem parameters . Daycent has been tested with data from various native and managed systems . In similar studies , comparisons between Daycent simulated data and measured values for annual crop yields , N2O emissions , and NO3 leaching produced r2 values of 0.72 , 0.68 , and 0.61 respectively .   Other models used for simulating carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry in agricultural systems include   DNDC  EPIC

Dependency theory is a subfield of database theory which studies implication and optimization problems related to logical constraints , commonly called dependencies , on databases .  The best known class of such dependencies are functional dependencies , which form the foundation of keys on database relations . Another important class of dependencies are the multivalued dependencies . A key algorithm in dependency theory is the Chase , and much of the theory is devoted to its study .


Question: Scientific evidence from theoretical frameworks, predictive modeling, and empirical observations consistently demonstrate that carbon dioxide emissions predominantly propel contemporary climatic alterations.

 Carbon Dioxide: Key Driver Behind Modern Climate Change
Carbon dioxide (CO2), a potent greenhouse gas emitted through various human activities, notably burning fossil fuels, plays a pivotal role in contemporary climate change. Scientific consensus solidified by empirical data from multiple disciplines confirms that increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations significantly contribute to planetary warming trends observable since the Industrial Revolution.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underscores "extreme likelihood" that human-generated emissions dominate recent global warming phenomena post-mid-twentieth century. Greenhouse gases, chiefly comprising CO2 alongside methane and nitrous oxide, amplify thermal retention within earth’s atmosphere, propelling temperatures upwards. Projections forecasted by sophisticated climate modeling suggest additional increases ranging from modest under stringent emission controls up to substantial rises if current trajectories continue unabated throughout this millennium.

This assertion enjoys unanimous endorsement across leading scientific institutions globally without dissent amongst reputable academic bodies endorsing anthropogenic origins behind escalating temperatures. Regional disparities notwithstanding, universal consequences loom ahead encompassing intensified warmth particularly evident above terrestrial surfaces compared against marine environments; pronounced alterations anticipated near polar regions featuring accelerated glacial retreats, thawing permafrost expanses, diminished sea ice coverage. Concomitant outcomes entail heightened frequency/severity concerning meteorological anomalies typifying excessive heatwaves, prolonged drought spells interspersed periodically via torrential downpours culminating into catastrophic flooding episodes plus severe blizzards impacting temperate zones. Oceanic pH reductions threaten aquatic ecosystems while terrestrial biomes confront imminent risks posed by encroaching desertification pressures.

In economics , `` rational expectations '' are model-consistent expectations , in that agents inside the model on average assume the model 's predictions are valid . Rational expectations ensure internal consistency in aggregate stochastic models . To obtain consistency within a model , the predictions of the future value of economically relevant variables are optimal given the decision-makers ' information set and model structure . The rational expectations assumption is used especially in many contemporary macroeconomic models . Rational expectations does not imply individual rationality and should not be confused with rational choice theory , which is used extensively in , among others , game theory .   Since most macroeconomic models today study decisions over many periods , the expectations of workers , consumers and firms about future economic conditions are an essential part of the model . How to model these expectations has long been controversial , and it is well known that the macroeconomic predictions of the model may differ depending on the assumptions made about expectations ( see Cobweb model ) . To assume rational expectations is to assume that agents ' expectations may be wrong , but are correct on average over time . In other words , although the future is not fully predictable , agents ' expectations are assumed not to be systematically biased and use all relevant information in forming expectations of economic variables .   This way of modeling expectations was originally proposed by John F. Muth ( 1961 ) and later became influential when it was used by Robert Lucas , Jr. and others . Modeling expectations is crucial in all models which study how a large number of individuals , firms and organizations make choices under uncertainty . For example , negotiations between workers and firms will be influenced by the expected level of inflation , and the value of a share of stock is dependent on the expected future income from that stock .   Deirdre McCloskey emphasized that `` rational expectations '' is an expression of intellectual modesty : `` Muth 's notion was that the professors -LSB- of economics -RSB- , even if correct in their model of man , could do no better in predicting than could the hog farmer or steelmaker or insurance company . The notion is one of intellectual modesty . The common sense is `` rationality '' : therefore Muth called the argument `` rational expectations '' . ''

Refrigeration is a process of moving heat from one location to another in controlled conditions . The work of heat transport is traditionally driven by mechanical work , but can also be driven by heat , magnetism , electricity , laser , or other means . Refrigeration has many applications , including , but not limited to : household refrigerators , industrial freezers , cryogenics , and air conditioning . Heat pumps may use the heat output of the refrigeration process , and also may be designed to be reversible , but are otherwise similar to air conditioning units .   Refrigeration has had a large impact on industry , lifestyle , agriculture and settlement patterns . The idea of preserving food dates back to at least the ancient Roman and Chinese empires . However , mechanical refrigeration technology has rapidly evolved in the last century , from ice harvesting to temperature-controlled rail cars . The introduction of refrigerated rail cars contributed to the westward expansion of the United States , allowing settlement in areas that were not on main transport channels such as rivers , harbors , or valley trails . Settlements were also developing in infertile parts of the country , filled with newly discovered natural resources . These new settlement patterns sparked the building of large cities which are able to thrive in areas that were otherwise thought to be inhospitable , such as Houston , Texas and Las Vegas , Nevada . In most developed countries , cities are heavily dependent upon refrigeration in supermarkets , in order to obtain their food for daily consumption . The increase in food sources has led to a larger concentration of agricultural sales coming from a smaller percentage of existing farms . Farms today have a much larger output per person in comparison to the late 1800s . This has resulted in new food sources available to entire populations , which has had a large impact on the nutrition of society .

A revolution ( from the Latin revolutio , `` a turn around '' ) is a fundamental change in political power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time when the population rises up in revolt against the current authorities .  Aristotle described two types of political revolution :  Complete change from one constitution to another  Modification of an existing constitution .  Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods , duration , and motivating ideology . Their results include major changes in culture , economy , and socio-political institutions .   Scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center on several issues . Early studies of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from a psychological perspective , but more modern examinations include global events and incorporate perspectives from several social sciences , including sociology and political science . Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories and contributed much to the current understanding of this complex phenomenon .

The United Kingdom is committed to legally binding greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets of 34 % by 2020 and 80 % by 2050 , compared to 1990 levels , as set out in the Climate Change Act 2008 . DECC ( 2008 ) . Climate Change Act . Decarbonisation of electricity generation will form a major part of this reduction and is essential before other sectors of the economy can be successfully decarbonised.DECC ( 2011a ) . Planning Our Electric Future : A White Paper for Secure , Affordable and Low-Carbon Electricity .   The Government 's proposals for electricity market reform , published in a White Paper in July 2011 , included three initiatives to encourage decarbonisation of electricity generation in the UK : A Carbon Price Floor to complement the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme ( EU ETS ) ; Feed-in tariffs which will eventually replace the Renewables Obligation ; and an Emissions Performance Standard to restrict future use of the most carbon intensive forms of generation .   In implementing these proposals , the Government aims to attract investment in low-carbon generation , deliver security of supply through an appropriate mix of electricity sources and ensure a minimum amount of impact on consumer bills ; all this at a time when security of supply is threatened by scheduled closures of existing plants and both the demand for , and subsequently the price of , electricity is increasing .

The Laboratoire des sciences du climat et de l'environnement ( LSCE , Climate and Environment Sciences Laboratory ) is a laboratory for the study of climate and in particular climate change . It plays a very important role within the framework of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change , which involves many of its researchers . It is very diversified because it includes modellers like experimenters , glaciologists as specialists in remote sensing or air quality study .   The climate scientist Valerie Masson-Delmotte is involved in the laboratory .

Demand forecasting is the art and science of forecasting customer demand to drive holistic execution of such demand by corporate supply chain and business management . Demand forecasting involves techniques including both informal methods , such as educated guesses , and quantitative methods , such as the use of historical sales data and statistical techniques or current data from test markets . Demand forecasting may be used in production planning , inventory management , and at times in assessing future capacity requirements , or in making decisions on whether to enter a new market   Demand forecasting is predicting future demand for the product . In other words , it refers to the prediction of probable demand for a product or a service on the basis of the past events and prevailing trends in the present .

Relativistic electromagnetism is a modern teaching strategy for developing electromagnetic field theory from Coulomb 's law and Lorentz transformations .

Darcy 's law is an equation that describes the flow of a fluid through a porous medium . The law was formulated by Henry Darcy based on the results of experiments on the flow of water through beds of sand , forming the basis of hydrogeology , a branch of earth sciences .

Reality is the state of things as they actually exist , rather than as they may appear or might be imagined . Reality includes everything that is and has been , whether or not it is observable or comprehensible . A still broader definition includes that which has existed , exists , or will exist .   Philosophers , mathematicians , and other ancient and modern thinkers , such as Aristotle , Plato , Frege , Wittgenstein , and Russell , have made a distinction between thought corresponding to reality , coherent abstractions ( thoughts of things that are imaginable but not real ) , and that which can not even be rationally thought . By contrast existence is often restricted solely to that which has physical existence or has a direct basis in it in the way that thoughts do in the brain .   Reality is often contrasted with what is imaginary , illusory , delusional , ( only ) in the mind , dreams , what is false , what is fictional , or what is abstract . At the same time , what is abstract plays a role both in everyday life and in academic research . For instance , causality , virtue , life , and distributive justice are abstract concepts that can be difficult to define , but they are only rarely equated with pure delusions . Both the existence and reality of abstractions are in dispute : one extreme position regards them as mere words ; another position regards them as higher truths than less abstract concepts . This disagreement is the basis of the philosophical problem of universals .   The truth refers to what is real , while falsity refers to what is not . Fictions are considered not real .


Question: By having all countries commit to reducing their carbon footprint, substantial decreases in worldwide greenhouse gas levels could be realized.

 Achieving Global Emission Reduction Targets Through Collective Action

Achieving substantial decreases in CO2 emissions necessitates coordinated effort among nations across the globe. By committing to shared goals under frameworks like the Paris Agreement, countries pledge to curb their contributions to greenhouse gas levels significantly. These commitments often involve transitioning away from fossil fuels towards cleaner alternatives, enhancing energy efficiency standards, and investing in technologies designed to capture and store excess carbon. Forestation projects serve dual purposes: they absorb existing CO2 while providing additional ecological benefits. However, success hinges upon unified policy implementation and adherence; isolated national strategies fall short without broader participation. International collaboration ensures equitable distribution of responsibilities based on economic capabilities and historical emission records. Financing mechanisms aid less affluent states in adopting green practices essential for combating climate change effectively. Continuous monitoring and adjustment of targets remain critical components ensuring progress aligns with scientific recommendations aimed at preventing catastrophic planetary alterations. Ultimately, realizing ambitious decarbonization objectives demands unwavering commitment from all participating entities, reflecting solidarity against common adversities posed by unchecked global warming trends. Current trajectories suggest urgent recalibration required maintaining alignment within established safety thresholds outlined during pivotal summits emphasizing intergenerational equity considerations paramount safeguarding habitable environments future generations inherit. Additional proposals advocate even stricter measures exceeding initial benchmarks set forth recognizing escalating urgency stemming unabated rise temperatures threatening irreversible damage ecosystems supporting life earth’s fragile biosphere.

Land consumption as part of human resource consumption is the conversion of land with healthy soil and intact habitats into areas for industrial agriculture , traffic ( road building ) and especially urban human settlements . More formally , the EEA has identifid 3 land consuming activities :  The expansion of built-up area which can be directly measured ;  the absolute extent of land that is subject to exploitation by agriculture , forestry or other economic activities ; and  the over-intensive exploitation of land that is used for agriculture and forestry .  In all of those respects , land consumption is equivalent to typical land use in industrialized regions and civilizations .   Since often aforementioned conversion activities are virtually irreversible , the term land loss is also used . From 1990 to 2000 , 1.4 e6ha of open space were consumed in the U.S. . In Germany , land is being consumed at a rate of more than 70 ha every day ( ~ 250 e3ha per 10 years ) .   Land loss can also happen due to natural factors , like erosion or desertification - nevertheless most of those can also eventually be tracked back to human activities . Another slightly different interpretation of the term is the forced displacement or compulsory acquisition of a native people or settlers from their original land due to land grabbing , etc. . Again , in most cases , this will be due to economic reasons like search for profitable investment and commodification of natural resources .   Even though global land loss progresses at an alarming rate , the land footprint , the area required by some Western countries can a lot larger than the land actually used or even available in the country itself .   While land prices have surged in the first few years of the 21st century , land consumption economy still lacks environmental full-cost accounting to add the long-term costs of environmental degradation .

The FIFA World Cup , sometimes called the Football World Cup or the Soccer World Cup , but usually referred to simply as the World Cup , is an international association football competition contested by the men 's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association ( FIFA ) , the sport 's global governing body . The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930 , except in 1942 and 1946 , due to World War II .   The tournament consists of two parts , the qualification phase and the final phase ( officially called the World Cup Finals ) . The qualification phase , which currently take place over the three years preceding the Finals , is used to determine which teams qualify for the Finals . The current format of the Finals involves 32 teams competing for the title , at venues within the host nation ( or nations ) over a period of about a month . The World Cup Finals is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world , with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 tournament final .   Denmark have appeared in the finals of the World Cup on four occasions , the first being in 1986 . They did not qualify for the finals in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil as they were ranked as the worst runner-up among all nine UEFA qualification groups .

Redox ( short for reduction -- oxidation reaction ) ( pronunciation : -LSB- ˈrɛdɒks -RSB- or -LSB- ˈriːdɒks -RSB- ) is a chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed . Any such reaction involves both a reduction process and a complementary oxidation process , two key concepts involved with electron transfer processes . Redox reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed ; in general , redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species . The chemical species from which the electron is stripped is said to have been oxidized , while the chemical species to which the electron is added is said to have been reduced . It can be explained in simple terms :   Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule , atom , or ion .  Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule , atom , or ion .   As an example , during the combustion of wood , oxygen from the air is reduced , gaining electrons from the carbon . Although oxidation reactions are commonly associated with the formation of oxides from oxygen molecules , oxygen is not necessarily included in such reactions , as other chemical species can serve the same function .   The reaction can occur relatively slowly , as in the case of rust , or more quickly , as in the case of fire . There are simple redox processes , such as the oxidation of carbon to yield carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) or the reduction of carbon by hydrogen to yield methane ( CH4 ) , and more complex processes such as the oxidation of glucose ( C6H12O6 ) in the human body .

Delegitimisation ( also spelled delegitimation ) is literally the withdrawal of legitimacy , usually from some institution such as a state , cultural practice , etc. which may have acquired it explicitly or implicitly , by statute or accepted practice .   A sociopsychological process which undermines or marginalises an entity by presenting facts and/or value judgments which are construed to withdraw legitimacy is generally observed .   A necessary process for the advancement of human culture , it can in some cases be a self-justifying mechanism , with the ultimate goal of justifying harm of an outgroup .   The concept applies to a wide spectrum of social contexts ranging from disputes about political entities to chronic illnesses .

Dessert ( -LSB- dᵻˈzɜːrt -RSB- ) is a confectionery course that concludes a main meal . The course usually consists of sweet foods and beverages , such as dessert wine or liqueurs , but may include coffee , cheeses , nuts , or other savory items . In some parts of the world , such as much of central and western Africa , and most parts of China , there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal .   The term `` dessert '' can apply to many confections , such as cakes , tarts , cookies , biscuits , gelatins , pastries , ice creams , pies , puddings , custards , and sweet soups . Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness . Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts .

Rates and causes of deforestation vary from region to region around the world . In 2009 , 2/3 of the world forests were in 10 top countries : 1 ) Russia , 2 ) Brazil , 3 ) Canada , 4 ) United States , 5 ) China , 6 ) Australia , 7 ) Congo , 8 ) Indonesia , 9 ) Peru and 10 ) India .   World annual deforestation is estimated as 13.7 million hectares a year , equal to the area of Greece . Only half of this area is compensated by new forests or forest growth . In addition to directly human-induced deforestation , the growing forests have also been affected by climate change , increasing risks of storms , and diseases . Kyoto protocol includes the agreement to prevent deforestation but not the actions to fulfill it .

Registered mail is a mail service offered by postal services in many countries , which allows the sender proof of mailing via a mailing receipt and , upon request , electronic verification that an article was delivered or that a delivery attempt was made . Depending on the country , additional services may also be available , such as :  a chain of custody , where the posted item has its details recorded in a register to enable its location to be tracked , sometimes with added insurance to cover loss ;  return receipt , called an Avis de réception , which provides a postcard or electronic notification with the date of delivery and recipient signature ;  restricted delivery , which confirms that only a specified person , or authorized agent , will receive the specific mail .  The name of this service varies from country to country , and postal services in some countries offer more than one level of service under different names ( e.g. , `` certified mail '' and `` registered mail '' in the U.S. ) . See the country-specific information below for details .

Declassification is the process of documents that used to be classified as secret ceasing to be so restricted , often under the principle of freedom of information . Procedures for declassification vary by country . Papers may be withheld without being classified as secret , and eventually made available .

Radiocarbon dating ( also referred to as carbon dating or carbon-14 dating ) is a method for determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon , a radioactive isotope of carbon .   The method was developed by Willard Libby in the late 1940s and soon became a standard tool for archaeologists . Libby received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in 1960 . The radiocarbon dating method is based on the fact that radiocarbon is constantly being created in the atmosphere by the interaction of cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen . The resulting radiocarbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form radioactive carbon dioxide , which is incorporated into plants by photosynthesis ; animals then acquire by eating the plants . When the animal or plant dies , it stops exchanging carbon with its environment , and from that point onwards the amount of it contains begins to decrease as the undergoes radioactive decay . Measuring the amount of in a sample from a dead plant or animal such as a piece of wood or a fragment of bone provides information that can be used to calculate when the animal or plant died . The older a sample is , the less there is to be detected , and because the half-life of ( the period of time after which half of a given sample will have decayed ) is about 5,730 years , the oldest dates that can be reliably measured by this process date to around 50,000 years ago , although special preparation methods occasionally permit accurate analysis of older samples .   The idea behind radiocarbon dating is straightforward , but years of work were required to develop the technique to the point where accurate dates could be obtained . Research has been ongoing since the 1960s to determine what the proportion of in the atmosphere has been over the past fifty thousand years . The resulting data , in the form of a calibration curve , is now used to convert a given measurement of radiocarbon in a sample into an estimate of the sample 's calendar age . Other corrections must be made to account for the proportion of in different types of organisms ( fractionation ) , and the varying levels of throughout the biosphere ( reservoir effects ) . Additional complications come from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil , and from the above-ground nuclear tests done in the 1950s and 1960s . Because the time it takes to convert biological materials to fossil fuels is substantially longer than the time it takes for its to decay below detectable levels , fossil fuels contain almost no , and as a result there was a noticeable drop in the proportion of in the atmosphere beginning in the late 19th century . Conversely , nuclear testing increased the amount of in the atmosphere , which attained a maximum in 1963 of almost twice what it had been before the testing began .   Measurement of radiocarbon was originally done by beta-counting devices , which counted the amount of beta radiation emitted by decaying atoms in a sample . More recently , accelerator mass spectrometry has become the method of choice ; it counts all the atoms in the sample and not just the few that happen to decay during the measurements ; it can therefore be used with much smaller samples ( as small as individual plant seeds ) , and gives results much more quickly . The development of radiocarbon dating has had a profound impact on archaeology . In addition to permitting more accurate dating within archaeological sites than previous methods , it allows comparison of dates of events across great distances . Histories of archaeology often refer to its impact as the `` radiocarbon revolution '' . Radiocarbon dating has allowed key transitions in prehistory to be dated , such as the end of the last ice age , and the beginning of the Neolithic and Bronze Age in different regions .
