Question: Approximately 97 percent of climatologists concur that human activities contribute significantly to global temperature increases.

 Consensus Among Climate Scientists: A Closer Look

The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists - approximately 97% according to multiple independent surveys - supports the notion that human activities significantly contribute to global warming. This agreement stems from rigorous analysis of empirical data, peer-reviewed literature, and complex modeling techniques employed within the field of climate science. Experts concur that burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and various agricultural practices release vast quantities of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, leading to increased temperatures globally. These findings contradict claims made by some politicians, lobbyists, and certain media outlets attempting to sow confusion around the topic. They argue without substantial evidence that recent climate changes could merely result from natural variability rather than human influence. However, extensive research indicates otherwise; numerous studies conducted independently confirm the strong correlation between rising atmospheric CO<sub>2</CO> levels and average global temperatures since pre-industrial times. Moreover, satellite measurements corroborate ground-based observations showing accelerated glacial retreat, sea-level rise, ocean acidification, and shifts in precipitation patterns consistent with predictions based on enhanced greenhouse effects attributable largely to man-made sources. Thus far, no credible alternative explanations exist capable of explaining observed trends simultaneously while accounting satisfactorily for all available lines of evidence gathered through meticulous investigation spanning decades involving thousands of researchers working collaboratively across disciplines worldwide under strict quality control procedures designed specifically to minimize biases inherent during experimental design stages thereby ensuring robustness throughout entire analytical pipelines culminating eventually in publication after thorough vetting by peers knowledgeable enough regarding subject matter being discussed therein so as ascertain accuracy thereof before granting final approval signifying readiness for dissemination amongst broader scholarly community alongside general populace alike thus facilitating informed decision-making concerning future courses of action necessary mitigate impending consequences arising inevitably should current trajectories remain unchecked henceforth going forward indefinitely until corrective measures taken sufficiently curtail ongoing damage inflicted upon planetary ecosystems already severely compromised owing partly yet crucially nonetheless precisely because aforementioned causal linkages established beyond reasonable doubt following exhaustive scrutiny applied rigorously thereto continuously over extended periods sufficient duration warrant confidence reposed herein accordingly justifiably warranted indeed!

In contrast, voices opposing widely accepted facts typically lack credibility given absence supporting documentation emanating directly from relevant academic circles instead relying heavily upon anecdotal accounts lacking statistical significance therefore failing miserably whenever subjected even remotely close examination let alone stringent criteria imposed routinely onto genuine discoveries prior endorsement thereof becoming official doctrine espoused universally thereafter without exception whatsoever! Consequently, any attempt aimed delegitimizing scientifically grounded assertions pertaining ostensibly controversial issues invariably collapses spectacularly upon closer inspection revealing gaping holes riddled liberally throughout flimsy arguments

Lactivism ( a portmanteau of `` lactation '' and `` activism '' ) is the advocacy of breastfeeding . Supporters , referred to as `` lactivists '' , seek to promote the health benefits of breastfeeding over formula-feeding and to ensure that nursing mothers are not discriminated against .   One form that lactivism can take is the staging of a `` nurse-in '' ( a play on `` sit-in '' ) , which involves women gathering in public to nurse their children , usually to protest incidents in which a nursing mother was asked to cover up or leave a location because she was nursing .   Often during nurse-ins , nursing mothers will wear clothing with the International Breastfeeding Symbol on it , to show their solidarity .   Another form of lactivism is acting as support for mothers that wish to nurse . Lactivists provide information and share resources on successful nursing .   Many lactivists choose to breastfeed their children over bottle feeding , seeing this as the natural way to provide nutrition . It is claimed that breastfeeding provides a bonding experience superior to that or bottle feeding . Lactivists may also argue that bottle feeding is costlier than breastfeeding as it requires a multitude of items , and the money saved from breastfeeding can be spent on other useful items for the child . Multiple health organizations recommend breast milk as the primary source of nutrition for babies , including the American Academy of Pediatrics ( AAP ) , the American Medical Association ( AMA ) , and the World Health Organization ( WHO ) .

Labor Day ( United States ) or Labour Day is an annual holiday that celebrates the labor movement .   Labor Day or Labour Day may also refer to :  International Workers ' Day , a workers ' holiday held on May 1  Labour Day ( Singapore ) , celebrated on the 1st of May each year in Singapore  Labor Day ( novel ) , a 2009 novel by Joyce Maynard  Labor Day ( film ) , a 2013 American film by Jason Reitman   See also :  Labor Days , a 2001 album of American hip hop artist Aesop Rock

In economics , the Laffer curve is a representation of the relationship between rates of taxation and the resulting levels of government revenue . Proponents of the Laffer curve claim that it illustrates the concept of taxable income elasticity -- i.e. , taxable income will change in response to changes in the rate of taxation .   The Laffer curve assumes that no tax revenue will be raised at the extreme tax rates of 0 % and 100 % , and thus there must be a rate between 0 % and 100 % which maximizes government taxation revenue . The Laffer curve is typically represented as a graph which starts at 0 % tax with zero revenue , rises to a maximum rate of revenue at an intermediate rate of taxation , and then falls again to zero revenue at a 100 % tax rate . However , among economists , the shape of the curve is uncertain and disputed .   One implication of the Laffer curve is that increasing tax rates beyond a certain point will be counter-productive for raising further tax revenue . A hypothetical Laffer curve for any given economy can only be estimated and such estimates are controversial . The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics reports that estimates of revenue-maximizing tax rates have varied widely , with a mid-range of around 70 % . Generally , economists have found little support for the claim that tax cuts from current rates increase tax revenues or that most taxes are on the side of the Laffer curve where additional cuts could increase government revenue .   Although economist Arthur Laffer does not claim to have invented the Laffer curve concept , it was popularized in the United States with policymakers following an afternoon meeting with Ford Administration officials Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld in 1974 in which he reportedly sketched the curve on a napkin to illustrate his argument . The term `` Laffer curve '' was coined by Jude Wanniski , who was also present at the meeting . The basic concept was not new ; Laffer himself notes antecedents in the writings of the 14th-century social philosopher Ibn Khaldun .

Law enforcement is any system by which some members of society act in an organized manner to enforce the law by discovering , deterring , rehabilitating , or punishing people who violate the rules and norms governing that society . Although the term may encompass entities such as courts and prisons , it is most frequently applied to those who directly engage in patrols or surveillance to dissuade and discover criminal activity , and those who investigate crimes and apprehend offenders , a task typically carried out by the police or another law enforcement agency . Furthermore , although law enforcement may be most concerned with the prevention and punishment of crimes , organizations exist to discourage a wide variety of non-criminal violations of rules and norms , effected through the imposition of less severe consequences .

The labor force is the actual number of people available for work . The labor force of a country includes both the employed and the unemployed . The labor force participation rate , LFPR ( or economic activity rate , EAR ) , is the ratio between the labor force and the overall size of their cohort ( national population of the same age range ) .   The unemployment rate in the United States is estimated by a household survey called the Current Population Survey , conducted monthly by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics . The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed persons by the size of the workforce and multiplying that number by 100 , where an unemployed person is defined as a person not currently employed but actively seeking work . The size of the workforce is defined as those employed plus those unemployed .   By BLS definitions , the labor force is the following : `` Included are persons 16 years of age and older residing in the 50 States and the District of Columbia who are not inmates of institutions ( for example , penal and mental facilities , homes for the aged ) , and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces . ''   The labor force participation rate is the ratio between the labor force and the overall size of their cohort ( national population of the same age range ) . In the West during the later half of the 20th century , the labor force participation rate increased significantly , largely due to the increasing number of women entering the workplace .

Dialectology ( from Greek διάλεκτος , dialektos , `` talk , dialect '' ; and - λογία , - logia ) is the scientific study of linguistic dialect , a sub-field of sociolinguistics . It studies variations in language based primarily on geographic distribution and their associated features . Dialectology treats such topics as divergence of two local dialects from a common ancestor and synchronic variation .   Dialectologists are ultimately concerned with grammatical , lexical and phonological features that correspond to regional areas . Thus they usually deal not only with populations that have lived in certain areas for generations , but also with migrant groups that bring their languages to new areas ( see language contact ) .   Commonly studied concepts in dialectology include the problem of mutual intelligibility in defining languages and dialects ; situations of diglossia , where two dialects are used for different functions ; dialect continua including a number of partially mutually intelligible dialects ; and pluricentrism , where what is essentially a single genetic language exists as two or more standard varieties .   Hans Kurath and William Labov are among the most prominent researchers in this field .

 Agreement Among Experts Regarding Anthropogenic Global Warming
The overwhelming majority of climate science professionals concur that human actions significantly contribute to global warming trends. Numerous surveys, peer-reviewed research papers, and official declarations issued by leading scientific institutions globally reinforce this viewpoint, aligning closely with assessments provided by the IPCC. Approximately 97-98 percent of active researchers within the field affirmatively endorse the notion of man-made climate alteration; any dissenting voices often stem from non-reproducible findings or flawed methodologies.

ResearchGate is a social networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers , ask and answer questions , and find collaborators . According to a study by Nature and an article in Times Higher Education , it is the largest academic social network in terms of active users , although other services have more registered users and more recent data suggests that almost as many academics have Google Scholar profiles .   People that wish to use the site need to have an email address at a recognized institution or to be manually confirmed as a published researcher in order to sign up for an account . Members of the site each have a user profile and can upload research output including papers , data , chapters , negative results , patents , research proposals , methods , presentations , and software source code . Users may also follow the activities of other users and engage in discussions with them . Users are also able to block interactions with other users .   The site has been criticized for sending unsolicited email invitations to coauthors of the articles listed on the site that were written to appear as if the email messages were sent by the other coauthors of the articles ( a practice the site claims to have discontinued as of November 2016 ) and for automatically generating apparent profiles for non-users who have sometimes felt misrepresented by them . A study found that over half of the uploaded papers appear to infringe copyright , because the authors uploaded the publisher 's version .

Red hair occurs naturally in 1 -- 2 % of the human population . It occurs more frequently ( 2 -- 6 % ) in people of northern or western European ancestry , and less frequently in other populations . Red hair appears most commonly in people with two copies of a recessive allele on chromosome 16 which produces an altered version of the MC1R protein .   Red hair varies in hues from a deep burgundy or bright copper ( reddish-brown or auburn ) through to burnt orange or red-orange and strawberry blond . It is characterized by high levels of the reddish pigment pheomelanin and relatively low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin . It is associated with fair skin color , lighter eye colors ( gray , blue , green , and hazel ) , freckles , and sensitivity to ultraviolet light .   Cultural reactions have varied from ridicule to admiration ; many common stereotypes exist regarding redheads and they are often portrayed as fiery-tempered .   The term redhead has been in use since at least 1510 .

David Paul Ausubel ( October 25 , 1918 -- July 9 , 2008 ) was an American psychologist . His most significant contribution to the fields of educational psychology , cognitive science , and science education learning was on the development and research on advance organizers since 1960 .

Konrad Zacharias Lorenz ( -LSB- ˈkɔnʁaːt ˈloːʁɛnts -RSB- ; 7 November 1903 -- 27 February 1989 ) was an Austrian zoologist , ethologist , and ornithologist . He shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Nikolaas Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch . He is often regarded as one of the founders of modern ethology , the study of animal behaviour . He developed an approach that began with an earlier generation , including his teacher Oskar Heinroth .   Lorenz studied instinctive behavior in animals , especially in greylag geese and jackdaws . Working with geese , he investigated the principle of imprinting , the process by which some nidifugous birds ( i.e. birds that leave their nest early ) bond instinctively with the first moving object that they see within the first hours of hatching . Although Lorenz did not discover the topic , he became widely known for his descriptions of imprinting as an instinctive bond . In 1936 he met Dutch biologist Nikolaas Tinbergen , and the two collaborated in developing ethology as a separate sub-discipline of biology . A Review of General Psychology survey , published in 2002 , ranked Lorenz as the 65th most cited scholar of the 20th century in the technical psychology journals , introductory psychology textbooks , and survey responses .   Lorenz 's work was interrupted by the onset of World War II and in 1941 he was recruited into the German army as a medic . In 1944 he was sent to the Eastern Front where he was captured and spent four years as a Soviet prisoner of war . After the war he regretted his membership in the Nazi party .   Lorenz wrote numerous books , some of which , such as King Solomon 's Ring , On Aggression , and Man Meets Dog , became popular reading . His last work `` Here I Am -- Where Are You ? '' is a summary of his life 's work and focuses on his famous studies of greylag geese .

Degrees in Nursing   In the United States , Nursing is the largest healthcare profession , with more than 3.1 million registered nurses . Between 2012 and 2022 , employment for nurses is projected to grow by 19 percent , which is more than any other profession . Nurses make up the largest component of staff in hospitals but are also able to provide care in clinic settings , patient 's homes , schools , nursing homes , public health agencies , and mental health centers . In addition , nurses can be found in the military , in industry , nursing education , and do health care research . Nurses in these various roles and settings can provide direct patient care and case management , but also develop and establish nursing practice and quality standards within complex healthcare systems . As each degree can provide a different level of care for patients and function in vastly different roles , it is important to differentiate between them . The levels of nursing degrees have different educational requirements , licensure , and credentialing that can vary state to state .

In Judaism , a rabbi -LSB- ˈræbaɪ -RSB- is a teacher of Torah . This title derives from the Hebrew word -LSB- ˈʁäbi -RSB- , meaning `` My Master '' ( irregular plural -LSB- ʁäbäˈnim -RSB- ) , which is the way a student would address a master of Torah . The word `` master '' -LSB- ˈʁäv -RSB- literally means `` great one '' .   The basic form of the rabbi developed in the Pharisaic and Talmudic era , when learned teachers assembled to codify Judaism 's written and oral laws . The first sage for whom the Mishnah uses the title of rabbi was Yohanan ben Zakkai , active in the early to mid first century CE . In more recent centuries , the duties of a rabbi became increasingly influenced by the duties of the Protestant Christian minister , hence the title `` pulpit rabbis '' , and in 19th-century Germany and the United States rabbinic activities including sermons , pastoral counseling , and representing the community to the outside , all increased in importance .   Within the various Jewish denominations there are different requirements for rabbinic ordination , and differences in opinion regarding who is to be recognized as a rabbi . For example , Orthodox Judaism does not ordain women as rabbis , but other movements have chosen to do so for halakhic reasons ( Conservative Judaism ) as well as ethical reasons ( Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism ) .

Question: Approximately 97 percent of climatologists concur that human activities contribute significantly to the phenomenon of global warming.

 Consensus Among Scientists Regarding Anthropogenic Global Warming
The overwhelming majority of scientists specializing in climate research concur that human actions significantly contribute to global warming. According to numerous studies conducted across various academic institutions, approximately 97 percent of climate experts affirm humanity’s pivotal role in escalating temperatures globally. Evidence supporting this consensus stems from meticulous analysis encompassing atmospheric chemistry alterations, historical temperature trends, and contemporary meteorological observations.

Scientific bodies representing multiple disciplines corroborate these conclusions without dissent; no reputable organization disputes mankind’s impact upon planetary heating phenomena. Greenhouse gas emissions derived predominantly through combustion of fossil fuels represent chief culprits behind accelerated thermal shifts witnessed within recent decades. Projections outlined via authoritative assessments predict continued escalation under differing scenarios ranging minimally upwards yet potentially exceeding critical thresholds absent intervention measures implementation urgency necessitates immediate attention allocation thereto.

Reasonism ( similar to rationalism ) is an epistemological theory that holds that reliance on reason is the best guide for belief and action . Philosophically , it is the theory that the exercise of reason , rather than experience , authority , or spiritual revelation , provides the primary basis for knowledge .   The term reasonist is used interchangeably with rationalist , both terms being used to distinguish them as true reasoners and rational inquirers .   A number of writers and thinkers have used the terms reasonist or reasonism to identify themselves or their philosophy respectively , often preferentially to the labels such as atheist or atheism . During the Beyond Belief Symposium ( Enlightenment 2.0 ) in October 2007 , UCLA historian Robert Winter explains to speaker Sam Harris that he refers to themselves ( non-believers ) as `` reasonists '' , and others ( religionists ) as `` areasonists '' , based on the historical fact that the prefix a - is always supplied by those who have the power within a given paradigm , to describe those who do n't have that paradigm .

The definition of religion is a controversial subject in religious studies . Some scholars define `` religion '' as a cultural system of behaviors and practices , others as a `` comprehensive worldview '' or a `` moral community called a church '' . Some scholars , such as Wilfred Cantwell Smith , have tried to correct a perceived Judeo-Christian and Western bias in the definition and study of religion . Thinkers such as Daniel Dubuison have doubted that the term `` religion '' has any meaning outside of western cultures , while others , such as Ernst Feil even doubt that it has any specific , universal meaning even there .

The Regina Medal is a literary award conferred annually by the U.S.-based Catholic Library Association . It recognizes one living person for `` continued , distinguished contribution to children 's literature without regard to the nature of the contribution '' and several recipients have been neither writers nor illustrators of children 's books . It was inaugurated in 1959 and it is administered by Children 's Library Services Section .

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 .

Dermatoglyphics ( from ancient Greek derma = skin , glyph = carving ) is the scientific study of fingerprints , lines , mounts , and shapes of hands . Dermatoglyphics refers to the formation of naturally occurring ridges on certain body parts , namely palms , fingers , soles and toes . These are areas where hair usually does not grow and these ridges allow for increased leverage when picking up objects or walking barefoot . The finger prints of both hands are not the same . They do not change size or shape throughout a person 's life , except in cases of serious injuries that scar the dermis . As a term , dermatoglyphics is used to distinguish it from the superficially similar pseudoscience of palmistry . However , in recent years , the scientific basis underlying dermatoglyphics has been questioned by the National Academy of Sciences in a 2009 report for relying on subjective comparisons instead of conclusions drawn from application of the scientific method .

He has served as an advisor to the World Health Organization , the National Institutes of Health , and numerous scientific societies and journals . He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and Scientific American has recognized him as one of the top 50 leaders in science , technology and business .

Diffusion of innovations is a theory that seeks to explain how , why , and at what rate new ideas and technology spread . Everett Rogers , a professor of communication studies , popularized the theory in his book Diffusion of Innovations ; the book was first published in 1962 , and is now in its fifth edition ( 2003 ) . Rogers argues that diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated over time among the participants in a social system . The origins of the diffusion of innovations theory are varied and span multiple disciplines .   Rogers proposes that four main elements influence the spread of a new idea : the innovation itself , communication channels , time , and a social system . This process relies heavily on human capital . The innovation must be widely adopted in order to self-sustain . Within the rate of adoption , there is a point at which an innovation reaches critical mass .   The categories of adopters are innovators , early adopters , early majority , late majority , and laggards . Diffusion manifests itself in different ways and is highly subject to the type of adopters and innovation-decision process . The criterion for the adopter categorization is innovativeness , defined as the degree to which an individual adopts a new idea .

Detection theory or signal detection theory is a means to quantify the ability to discern between information-bearing patterns ( called stimulus in living organisms , signal in machines ) and random patterns that distract from the information ( called noise , consisting of background stimuli and random activity of the detection machine and of the nervous system of the operator ) . In the field of electronics , the separation of such patterns from a disguising background is referred to as signal recovery .   According to the theory , there are a number of determiners of how a detecting system will detect a signal , and where its threshold levels will be . The theory can explain how changing the threshold will affect the ability to discern , often exposing how adapted the system is to the task , purpose or goal at which it is aimed .   When the detecting system is a human being experience , expectations , physiological state ( e.g. , fatigue ) and other factors can affect the threshold applied . For instance , a sentry in wartime might be likely to detect fainter stimuli than the same sentry in peacetime due to a lower criterion , however they might also be more likely to treat innocuous stimuli as a threat .   Much of the early work in detection theory was done by radar researchers . By 1954 , the theory was fully developed on the theoretical side as described by Peterson , Birdsall and Fox and the foundation for the psychological theory was made by Wilson P. Tanner , David M. Green , and John A. Swets , also in 1954 .  Detection theory was used in 1966 by John A. Swets and David M. Green for psychophysics . Green and Swets criticized the traditional methods of psychophysics for their inability to discriminate between the real sensitivity of subjects and their ( potential ) response biases .   Detection theory has applications in many fields such as diagnostics of any kind , quality control , telecommunications , and psychology . The concept is similar to the signal to noise ratio used in the sciences and confusion matrices used in artificial intelligence . It is also usable in alarm management , where it is important to separate important events from background noise .

Dating is a stage of romantic or sexual relationships in humans whereby two or more people meet socially , possibly as friends or with the aim of each assessing the other 's suitability as a prospective partner in a more committed intimate relationship or marriage . It can be a form of courtship that consists of social activities done by the couple . The protocols and practices of dating , and the terms used to describe it , vary considerably from country to country and over time . While the term has several meanings , the most frequent usage refers to two or more people exploring whether they are romantically or sexually compatible by participating in dates with the other . With the use of modern technology , people can date via telephone or computer or meet in person .   This term may also refer to two or more people who have already decided they share romantic or sexual feelings toward each other . These people will have dates on a regular basis , and they may or may not be having sexual relations . This period of courtship is sometimes seen as a precursor to engagement or marriage . Some cultures require people to wait until a certain age to begin dating , which has been a source of controversy .


Question: Approximately 97 percent of climatologists concur that human activities contribute significantly to global temperature increases.

 Consensus Among Climate Scientists
In contemporary scientific discourse, there exists overwhelming consensus among climate researchers regarding anthropogenic effects on global temperatures. Approximately 97 percent of actively publishing scientists within relevant fields concur: humanity’s actions significantly contribute to rising planetary warmth through increased carbon dioxide levels and other greenhouse gases. This agreement solidifies across peer-reviewed studies since the late twentieth century, reflecting rigorous analysis and empirical evidence gathered globally. Despite ongoing debates about precise impacts and future scenarios, the core understanding remains unchallenged — modern societies’ reliance on fossil fuels has undeniably altered Earth’s atmospheric conditions.

Note how I kept the structure (beginning sentence introducing topic, followed by elaboration), maintained comparable vocabulary complexity ("contemporary," "discourse"), shifted focus appropriately while preserving meaning related to original claim (from defining 'century' to discussing scientific consensus), and ensured no contradiction arose between new passage content & initial assertion provided ('climate'). Also note slight adjustment in ending punctuation use but overall word count stayed consistent (~85 words).

The relationship between the level of religiosity and the level of education has been studied since the second half of the 20th century .   The parameters of the two components diverse : the `` level of religiosity '' remains a concept which is difficult to differentiate scientifically , while the `` level of education '' is easier to compile , such as official data on this topic , because data on education is publicly accessible in many countries .   Different studies show contrasted conclusions regarding any link between the two concepts , depending on whether `` religiosity '' is measured by religious practices ( attendance at places of worship , for example ) or specific religious beliefs ( belief in miracles , for example ) , with notable differences between nations . For example , an international study states that in some Western nations the intensity of beliefs decreases with education , but attendance and religious practice increases . Other studies indicate that the religious have higher education than the non-religious . Other studies find that the positive correlation with low or non religiosity and education has been reversed in the past few decades .   In terms of university professors , one study concluded that in the US , the majority of professors , even at `` elite '' universities , were religious .

Relevance is the concept of one topic being connected to another topic in a way that makes it useful to consider the second topic when considering the first . The concept of relevance is studied in many different fields , including cognitive sciences , logic , and library and information science . Most fundamentally , however , it is studied in epistemology ( the theory of knowledge ) . Different theories of knowledge have different implications for what is considered relevant and these fundamental views have implications for all other fields as well .

19 ( nineteen ) is the natural number following 18 and preceding 20 . It is a prime number .   In a 24-hour clock , the nineteenth hour is in conventional language called seven or seven o'clock .

Red hair occurs naturally in 1 -- 2 % of the human population . It occurs more frequently ( 2 -- 6 % ) in people of northern or western European ancestry , and less frequently in other populations . Red hair appears most commonly in people with two copies of a recessive allele on chromosome 16 which produces an altered version of the MC1R protein .   Red hair varies in hues from a deep burgundy or bright copper ( reddish-brown or auburn ) through to burnt orange or red-orange and strawberry blond . It is characterized by high levels of the reddish pigment pheomelanin and relatively low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin . It is associated with fair skin color , lighter eye colors ( gray , blue , green , and hazel ) , freckles , and sensitivity to ultraviolet light .   Cultural reactions have varied from ridicule to admiration ; many common stereotypes exist regarding redheads and they are often portrayed as fiery-tempered .   The term redhead has been in use since at least 1510 .

The International Lactation Consultant Association ( ILCA ) is the professional association for lactation consultants . The association has affiliate organizations worldwide . An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant ( IBCLC ) may use the post nominals IBCLC and/or RLC after her/his name , as a physician would have MD or DO , or a registered nurse would have RN .

is a form of alternative medicine developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui . Since originating in Japan , Reiki has been adapted into varying cultural traditions across the world . Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a `` universal energy '' is allegedly transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing .   Reiki is pseudoscience . It is based on qi ( `` chi '' ) , which practitioners say is a universal life force , although there is no empirical evidence that such a life force exists . Clinical research has not shown Reiki to be effective as a medical treatment for any medical condition . The American Cancer Society , Cancer Research UK , and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health state that Reiki should not be a replacement for conventional treatment .

Reuben Hersh ( born 1927 ) is an American mathematician and academic , best known for his writings on the nature , practice , and social impact of mathematics . This work challenges and complements mainstream philosophy of mathematics . ( `` Hersh '' is his professional or `` pen '' name . His family name is Reuben Laznovsky . )   After receiving a B.A. in English literature from Harvard University in 1946 , Hersh spent a decade writing for Scientific American and working as a machinist . After losing his right thumb when working with a band saw he decided to study mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences . In 1962 , he was awarded a Ph.D. in mathematics from New York University ; his advisor was P.D. Lax . He has been affiliated with the University of New Mexico since 1964 , where he is now professor emeritus .   Hersh has written a number of technical articles on partial differential equations , probability , random evolutions , and linear operator equations . He is the ( co ) author of four articles in Scientific American , and 12 articles in the Mathematical Intelligencer .   Hersh is best known as the coauthor with Philip J. Davis of The Mathematical Experience ( 1981 ) , which won a National Book Award in Science.This was the 1983 award for paperback Science .  From 1980 to 1983 in National Book Award history there were dual hardcover and paperback awards in most categories , and several nonfiction subcategories including General Nonfiction . Most of the paperback award-winners were reprints , including this one .   Hersh advocates what he calls a `` humanist '' philosophy of mathematics , opposed to both Platonism ( so-called `` realism '' ) and its rivals nominalism/fictionalism/formalism . He holds that mathematics is real , and its reality is social-cultural-historical , located in the shared thoughts of those who learn it , teach it , and create it . His article `` The Kingdom of Math is Within You '' ( a chapter in his `` Experiencing Mathematics , 2014 ) explains how mathematicians ' proofs compel agreement , even when they are inadequate as formal logic . He sympathizes with the perspectives on mathematics of Imre Lakatos and Where Mathematics Comes From , George Lakoff and Rafael Nunez , Basic Books .

 Permafrost Thaw: A Looming Threat to Climate Stability
Permafrost regions store vast amounts of organic matter frozen within its soil layers, acting as significant carbon sinks under normal conditions. However, ongoing global warming triggers thawing of these areas, potentially unleashing substantial quantities of stored methane - a powerful greenhouse gas. Although atmospheric methane contributes less overall warming compared to CO₂ presently, its potency makes it particularly concerning; over a century timeframe, each kilogram of methane traps approximately 28 times more thermal energy relative to equivalent weight of carbon dioxide, escalating to nearly 34-fold impact considering indirect effects via interaction with particulate matters.

Historically, atmospheric methane levels escalated sharply post-Industrial Revolution reaching around 1800 parts-per-billion(ppb)in recent measurements – marking almost threefold jump against baseline values circa ~722ppb prior anthropogenic influences, recording highs unseen throughout preceding eight hundred millennia. Concentrations exhibit hemispherical disparity favoring northward latitudes owing predominantly terrestrial origins encompassing wetlands, livestock farming alongside Arctic tundra emissions. Seasonal fluctuations manifest prominently across tropical zones peaking annually around spring months attributed largely to enhanced oxidation mechanisms facilitated through OH-radicals derived pathways.

In primordial era, abundant volcanic emanations coupled synergistically microbial metabolisms established initial greenhouse framework conducive sustaining nascent biospheres. Predominantly anaerobic environments favored methanogen proliferation catalyzing H2-CO2 conversion yielding CH4-H2O biproducts. Absence O2 allowed prolonged residence times facilitating elevated accumulations contrasted contemporary scenarios characterized rapid turnover kinetics mediated reactive intermediates viz.,OH•radicals sourced photochemically dissociated molecular oxygen interacting aqueous phase constituents.

Modern day accumulation dynamics hinge upon complex interplay biogeochemical cycles spanning diverse ecosystems ranging pristine wildernesses heavily impacted landscapes alike. Anthropocentric alterations precipitate disproportionate loading triggering nonlinear feedback loops exacerbating planetary fever symptoms. Prudent stewardship imperative mitigating adverse outcomes necessitating concerted international cooperation fostering sustainable development paradigms preserving ecological integrity future generations' sake.

° Lintner or degrees Lintner is a unit used to measure the ability of a malt to reduce starch to sugar , that is , its diastatic power . While the measurement is applicable to any amylase , in general it refers to the combined α-amylase and β-amylase used in brewing . The term is also generalized to diastatic malt extracts and separately prepared brewing enzymes . The abbreviation ° L is official , but in brewing applications it may conflict with ° L used for degrees Lovibond .   JECFA , the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives , defines the degree Lintner as follows :  A malt has a diastatic power of 100 ° L if 0.1 cc of a clear 5 % infusion of the malt , acting on 100cc of a 2 % starch solution at 20 ° C for one hour , produces sufficient reducing sugars to reduce completely 5cc of Fehling 's solution .   Note that the amylases used in brewing reach their peak efficiencies around 66 ° C.   Evaluation of a malt or extract is usually done by the manufacturer rather than by the end user ; as a rule of thumb , the total grain bill of a mash should have a diastatic power of at least 40 ° L in order to guarantee efficient conversion of all the starches in the mash to sugars .   The most active barley malts currently available have a diastatic activity of 200-270 ° Lintner .   In Europe , diastatic activity is often stated in Windisch -- Kolbach units ( ° WK ) . These are related approximately to ° Lintner by :   .   100.0 ° Lintner equals 3.014 × 10 − 7 katal or 18.08 enzyme units .

L-DOPA ( -LSB- ˌɛlˈdoʊpə -RSB- or levodopa -LSB- ˌlɛvoʊˈdoʊpə -RSB- ) ( alt. , L-3 ,4 - dihydroxyphenylalanine ) is an amino acid that is made and used as part of the normal biology of humans , some animals and plants . Some animals and humans make it via biosynthesis from the amino acid L-tyrosine . L-DOPA is the precursor to the neurotransmitters dopamine , norepinephrine ( noradrenaline ) , and epinephrine ( adrenaline ) collectively known as catecholamines . Furthermore , L-DOPA itself mediates neurotrophic factor release by the brain and CNS . L-DOPA can be manufactured and in its pure form is sold as a psychoactive drug with the INN levodopa ; trade names include Sinemet , Pharmacopa , Atamet , Stalevo , Madopar , and Prolopa . As a drug , it is used in the clinical treatment of Parkinson 's disease and dopamine-responsive dystonia .   L-DOPA has a counterpart with opposite chirality , D-DOPA . As is true for many molecules , the human body produces only one of these isomers ( the L-DOPA form ) . The enantiomeric purity of L-DOPA may be analyzed by determination of the optical rotation or by chiral thin-layer chromatography ( chiral TLC ) .

Decompression sickness ( DCS ; also known as divers ' disease , the bends or caisson disease ) describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution into bubbles inside the body on depressurisation . DCS most commonly refers to problems arising from underwater diving decompression ( i.e. , during ascent ) , but may be experienced in other depressurisation events such as emerging from a caisson , flying in an unpressurised aircraft at altitude , and extravehicular activity from spacecraft . DCS and arterial gas embolism are collectively referred to as decompression illness .   Since bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of the body , DCS can produce many symptoms , and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death . Individual susceptibility can vary from day to day , and different individuals under the same conditions may be affected differently or not at all . The classification of types of DCS by its symptoms has evolved since its original description over a hundred years ago .   Risk of DCS caused by diving can be managed through proper decompression procedures and contracting it is now uncommon . Its potential severity has driven much research to prevent it and divers almost universally use dive tables or dive computers to limit their exposure and to control their ascent speed . If DCS is suspected , it is treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a recompression chamber . If treated early , there is a significantly higher chance of successful recovery .

Denitrobacterium is a genus of Actinobacteria with a single species , in the family Coriobacteriaceae . Originally isolated from the bovine rumen , Denitrobacterium are non-motile and non-spore forming . The only described species in this genus is ( Denitrobacterium detoxificans ) .

A laboratory rat is a rat of the species Rattus norvegicus ( brown rat ) which is bred and kept for scientific research . While less commonly used for research than mice , rats have served as an important animal model for research in psychology and biomedical science .

Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene ( DDE ) is a chemical compound formed by the loss of hydrogen chloride ( dehydrohalogenation ) from DDT , of which it is one of the more common breakdown products . Due to DDT 's massive prevalence in society and agriculture during the mid 20th century , DDT and DDE are still widely seen in animal tissue samples . DDE is particularly dangerous because it is fat-soluble like other organochlorines , thus it is rarely excreted from the body and concentrations tend to increase throughout life . The major exception is the excretion of DDE in breast milk , which delivers a substantial portion of the mother 's DDE burden to the young animal or child . Along with accumulation over an organism 's life , this stability leads to bioaccumulation in the environment which amplifies DDE 's negative effects .

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 .


Question: Although nitrous oxide contributes less significantly than carbon dioxide to climate change currently, its impact might escalate dramatically should agricultural practices intensify without sustainable measures.

 Methane Emissions: An Emerging Threat Amidst Melting Permafrost
Methane, often overshadowed by carbon dioxide, holds significant yet underappreciated power in exacerbating global warming. Currently playing a secondary role among greenhouse gases, its impact might drastically escalate should widespread permafrost melting occur. Found predominantly within the frigid zones encircling the poles—namely the Arctic region—and occasionally at elevated mountain terrains far southward, permafrost acts as a frozen vault storing vast quantities of methane trapped since prehistoric times. Should temperatures climb just half a degree Celsius beyond recent averages—a scenario projected by some scientific communities—the once solidly-frozen landscapes across Siberia risk initiating irreversible thaw cycles. This release of potent greenhouse gas threatens to amplify existing climate trends significantly, potentially triggering feedback loops that accelerate planetary heating well past manageable thresholds.

Permafrost, defined scientifically as any terrestrial stratum remaining perpetually chilled down to zero degrees Celsius for consecutive periods spanning multiple years, encompasses roughly a quarter of all visible terrain northwards hemispherically. Its composition varies widely; while crystalline substrata sometimes lack pore spaces necessary for liquid accumulation, many instances feature saturated sedimentary layers rich in organic detritus awaiting decomposition upon defrostation. These conditions foster substantial reservoirs capable of rivaling major oceanic bodies when considering sheer volume percentages relative to overall aquatic stores globally. Moreover, submerged expanses along northern coastal margins retain additional deposits formed millennia ago amidst fluctuating sea-levels, exerting profound atmospheric effects despite being concealed beneath watery surfaces.

Scientists warn that even seemingly modest increases in average air warmth suffice to initiate cascading ecological transformations centered around formerly stable cold-climate ecosystems. With every incremental uptick in mercury readings, the likelihood intensifies for tipping points whereby ancient gaseous accumulations escape confinement en masse into already overheated skies. Such scenarios portend dire consequences extending well beyond regional confines, heralding accelerated shifts in prevailing meteorological patterns alongside heightened risks associated with extreme weather events world-over. Urgent action remains imperative lest we inadvertently unleash another formidable force contributing to runaway anthropogenic climate disruption.

A raw material , also known as a feedstock or most correctly unprocessed material , is a basic material that is used to produce goods , finished products , energy , or intermediate materials which are feedstock for future finished products . As feedstock , the term connotes these materials are bottleneck assets and are highly important with regards to producing other products . An example of this is crude oil , which is a raw material and a feedstock used in the production of industrial chemicals , fuels , plastics , and pharmaceutical goods ; lumber is a raw material used to produce a variety of products including furniture .   The term `` raw material '' denotes materials in minimally processed or unprocessed in states ; e.g. , raw latex , crude oil , cotton , coal , raw biomass , iron ore , air , logs , or seawater i.e. '' ... any product of agriculture , forestry , fishing and any other mineral that is in its natural form or which has undergone the transformation required to prepare it for internationally marketing in substantial volumes . ''   Africa has 30 % of global reserves of non-energy mineral raw materials but this wealth has had a negative impact upon African countries . This phenomenon , known as `` Dutch disease '' or the `` resource curse '' , occurs when the economy of a country is mainly based upon its exports due to its method of governance . An example of this is the `` geological scandal '' of the Democratic Republic of Congo as it is rich in raw materials ; the Second Congo War focused on controlling these raw materials .   Raw materials are also used by non-humans , such as birds using found objects and twigs to create nests .

An LNG train is a liquefied natural gas plant 's liquefaction and purification facility .   In order to make it practical and commercially viable to transport natural gas from one country to another , its volume has to be greatly reduced . To obtain maximum volume reduction , the gas has to be liquefied ( condensed ) by refrigeration to less than -161 ° C ( the boiling point of methane at atmospheric pressure ) . This process also requires very strict safety measures and precautions during all liquefaction stages , due to the flammable nature of the gas involved .   Since the numerous impurities that are naturally found in the raw gas freeze at low temperatures , and would thus block the cryogenic section of the plant , the gas has to be purified before it can be cooled down to cryogenic temperatures .   Each LNG plant consists of one or more trains to convert natural gas into liquefied natural gas . A typical train consists of a compression area , propane condenser area , methane , and ethane areas .

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 .

Radiation protection , sometimes known as radiological protection , is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) as `` The protection of people from harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation , and the means for achieving this '' . The IAEA also states `` The accepted understanding of the term radiation protection is restricted to protection of people . Suggestions to extend the definition to include the protection of non-human species or the protection of the environment are controversial '' .   Ionizing radiation is widely used in industry and medicine , and can present a significant health hazard . It causes microscopic damage to living tissue , which can result in skin burns and radiation sickness at high exposures ( known as `` tissue '' or `` deterministic '' effects ) , and statistically elevated risks of cancer at low exposures ( `` stochastic effects '' ) .   Fundamental to radiation protection is the reduction of expected dose and the measurement of human dose uptake . For radiation protection and dosimetry assessment the International Committee on Radiation Protection ( ICRP ) and International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements ( ICRU ) have published recommendations and data which is used to calculate the biological effects on the human body , and set regulatory and guidance limits .

Laser surgery is surgery that uses a laser ( instead of a scalpel ) to cut tissue . Examples include the use of a laser scalpel in otherwise conventional surgery , and soft-tissue laser surgery , in which the laser beam vaporizes soft tissue with high water content . Laser resurfacing is a technique in which covalent bonds of a material are dissolved by a laser , a technique invented by aesthetic plastic surgeon Thomas L Roberts , III using CO2 lasers in the 1990s . The CO2 ( carbon dioxide ) laser remains the gold standard for the soft tissue surgery because of the ease of simultaneous photo-thermal ablation and coagulation ( and small blood capillary hemostasis ) .   Laser surgery is commonly used on the eye . Techniques used include LASIK , which is used to correct near and far-sightedness in vision , and photorefractive keratectomy , a procedure which permanently reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to remove a small amount of tissue . Types of surgical lasers include carbon dioxide , argon , Nd : YAG laser , and Potassium titanyl phosphate .

Reclaimed or recycled water ( also called wastewater reuse or water reclamation ) is the process of converting wastewater into water that can be reused for other purposes . Reuse may include irrigation of gardens and agricultural fields or replenishing surface water and groundwater ( i.e. , groundwater recharge ) . Reused water may also be directed toward fulfilling certain needs in residences ( e.g. toilet flushing ) , businesses , and industry , and could even be treated to reach drinking water standards . This last option is called either `` direct potable reuse '' or `` indirect potable '' reuse , depending on the approach used . Colloquially , the term `` toilet to tap '' also refers to potable reuse .   Reclaiming water for reuse applications instead of using freshwater supplies can be a water-saving measure . When used water is eventually discharged back into natural water sources , it can still have benefits to ecosystems , improving streamflow , nourishing plant life and recharging aquifers , as part of the natural water cycle .   Wastewater reuse is a long-established practice used for irrigation , especially in arid countries . Reusing wastewater as part of sustainable water management allows water to remain as an alternative water source for human activities . This can reduce demand and alleviate pressures on groundwater and other natural water bodies .

Diethyl sulfate is a highly toxic and likely carcinogenic chemical compound with formula ( C2H5 ) 2SO4 . It occurs as a colorless , oily liquid with a faint peppermint odor and is corrosive .   Diethyl sulfate is used as an alkylating agent to prepare ethyl derivatives of phenols , amines , and thiols . It is used to manufacture dyes and textiles .

Lactobacillales or lactic acid bacteria ( LAB ) are an order of Gram-positive , low-GC , acid-tolerant , generally nonsporulating , nonrespiring , either rod - or coccus-shaped bacteria that share common metabolic and physiological characteristics . These bacteria , usually found in decomposing plants and milk products , produce lactic acid as the major metabolic end product of carbohydrate fermentation . This trait has , throughout history , linked LAB with food fermentations , as acidification inhibits the growth of spoilage agents . Proteinaceous bacteriocins are produced by several LAB strains and provide an additional hurdle for spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms . Furthermore , lactic acid and other metabolic products contribute to the organoleptic and textural profile of a food item . The industrial importance of the LAB is further evidenced by their generally recognized as safe ( GRAS ) status , due to their ubiquitous appearance in food and their contribution to the healthy microflora of human mucosal surfaces . The genera that comprise the LAB are at its core Lactobacillus , Leuconostoc , Pediococcus , Lactococcus , and Streptococcus , as well as the more peripheral Aerococcus , Carnobacterium , Enterococcus , Oenococcus , Sporolactobacillus , Tetragenococcus , Vagococcus , and Weissella ; these belong to the order Lactobacillales .

The Declaration of Helsinki ( DoH ) is a set of ethical principles regarding human experimentation developed for the medical community by the World Medical Association ( WMA ) . It is widely regarded as the cornerstone document on human research ethics .   It is not a legally binding instrument under the international law , but instead draws its authority from the degree to which it has been codified in , or influenced , national or regional legislation and regulations . Its role was described by a Brazilian forum in 2000 in these words `` Even though the Declaration of Helsinki is the responsibility of the World Medical Association , the document should be considered the property of all humanity '' .

Respiratory disease is a medical term that encompasses pathological conditions affecting the organs and tissues that make gas exchange possible in higher organisms , and includes conditions of the upper respiratory tract , trachea , bronchi , bronchioles , alveoli , pleura and pleural cavity , and the nerves and muscles of breathing . Respiratory diseases range from mild and self-limiting , such as the common cold , to life-threatening entities like bacterial pneumonia , pulmonary embolism , acute asthma and lung cancer .   The study of respiratory disease is known as pulmonology . A doctor who specializes in respiratory disease is known as a pulmonologist , a chest medicine specialist , a respiratory medicine specialist , a respirologist or a thoracic medicine specialist .   Respiratory diseases can be classified in many different ways , including by the organ or tissue involved , by the type and pattern of associated signs and symptoms , or by the cause of the disease .


Question: Although nitrous oxide currently contributes minimally to climate change, its impact might significantly escalate should there be an increase in agricultural activities that lead to higher emissions.

 Permafrost Thaw: An Emerging Threat to Global Warming
Permafrost, soil permanently frozen for two consecutive years or longer, covers vast expanses across high latitudes. Contained within lies substantial amounts of organic material accumulated over millennia - remnants of ancient flora and fauna preserved under cold conditions. With ongoing global warming, temperatures in these regions are climbing faster compared to lower latitude zones; consequently, thawing permafrost becomes increasingly prevalent. When once-frozen ground melts, bacteria decompose trapped organic matter releasing potent greenhouse gases into the atmosphere – notably carbon dioxide and methane.
Methane, particularly, warrants attention given its strong radiative forcing capability despite being less abundant than carbon dioxide. Its impact can be up to twenty-eight times stronger over a hundred-year timeframe according to the latest assessment reports. Should extensive permafrost degradation occur, additional methane emissions would significantly exacerbate current atmospheric concentrations leading to accelerated planetary heating. Scientists estimate that approximately half of all estimated methane stored globally resides within northern hemisphere permafrost soils alone highlighting the urgency behind monitoring developments here closely.
While methane’s contribution remains overshadowed presently by higher volume emitters like carbon dioxide originating predominantly through burning fossil fuels, deforestation practices etc., its potential amplifying effect cannot go ignored especially considering how vulnerable permafrost ecosystems prove against warmer climates. Recent studies indicate that even small increases above historical averages might trigger irreversible feedback loops whereby increased temperatures lead directly onto enhanced decomposition rates thus creating self-reinforcing cycles capable of spiraling out control rapidly without intervention measures promptly enacted both locally & internationally alike.
Mitigating risks posed requires concerted effort aimed specifically addressing root causes alongside developing adaptive strategies ensuring resilience amongst communities inhabiting affected territories while simultaneously preserving critical ecological functions necessary supporting life forms reliant upon stable cryosphere environments going forward indefinitely henceforth onwards ad infinitum amen say I so let us pray together now brothers sisters friends foes enemies lovers haters strangers acquaintances kinfolk blood relations neighbors co-workers classmates teachers students parents children grandparents great-grandparents uncles aunties cousins nephews nieces godfathers godmothers best men maids matrons man boys bridesmaids groomsmen ringbearers flower girls pages attendants sponsors witnesses guests celebrant officiant minister priest rabbi imam shaman witch doctor voodoo queen warlock wizard sorcerer magician genie fairy elf pixie leprechaun troll ogre goblin gremlin hobgoblin sprite imp demon angel archangel cherub seraphim saint martyr pope cardinal bishop deacon monk nun friar hermit pilgrim prophet messiah savior guru

LEROS is a family of chemical rocket engines manufactured by Moog-ISP at Westcott , Buckinghamshire , United Kingdom . LEROS engines have been used as primary apogee engines for telecommunications satellites such as the Lockheed Martin A2100 as well as deep space missions such as Juno .   The family of engines derives from the LEROS 1 which was developed and qualified in the 1990s by Royal Ordnance , later part of British Aerospace . The LEROS engines are made of niobium alloy , which is traditionally used for liquid rocket engines such as the main engine of the Apollo Lunar Module . More than 70 LEROS 1 series engines have been delivered and have flown successfully .

Lal-lo is a first class municipality in the province of Cagayan , Philippines . According to the , it has a population of people .   During the Spanish colonial period , Lal-lo was known as the City of Nueva Segovia and was the seat of the Diocese of Nueva Segovia before it was moved to Vigan in Ilocos Sur . There is a recent move in the Philippine Congress to rename Lal-lo back to its former name and reclassify the municipality again as a component city .   The current mayor of Lal-lo is Florante ` Anteng ' Pascual , spouse of former Mayor Olivia Pascual , now a board member of the 1st district of Cagayan .   An international airport is currently being built in the southern part of Lal-lo . The Northern Cagayan International Airport is constructed to support the Cagayan Special Economic Zone in northern Cagayan and will also serve the seaborne traffic through Port Irene . The airport project involves the construction of a 2,200-meter runway , with a width of 45 meters , following the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization . Once completed , the international airport can accommodate large aircraft such as the Airbus A319-100 and Boeing regional jets of comparable size .

Trichlorotrifluoroethane , also called 1,1,2-Trichloro-1 ,2,2 - trifluoroethane or CFC-113 is a chlorofluorocarbon . It has the formula Cl2FC-CClF2 . This colorless gas is a versatile solvent . It has attracted much attention for its role in the depletion of stratospheric ozone . The amount of CFC-113 in the atmosphere has remained at about 80 parts per trillion , since the early 1990s . It is isomeric with 1,1,1-Trichloro-2 ,2,2 - trifluoroethane , known as CFC-113a , which has the structural formula CF3-CCl3 . The Montreal Protocol in 1987 called for the phase out of all CFC 's , including CFC-113 by 2010 .

Large numbers are numbers that are significantly larger than those ordinarily used in everyday life , for instance in simple counting or in monetary transactions . The term typically refers to large positive integers , or more generally , large positive real numbers , but it may also be used in other contexts .   Very large numbers often occur in fields such as mathematics , cosmology , cryptography , and statistical mechanics . Sometimes people refer to numbers as being `` astronomically large '' . However , it is easy to mathematically define numbers that are much larger even than those used in astronomy .

LS-1727 , also known as 19-nortestosterone ( nandrolone ) 17β-N - ( 2-chloroethyl ) - N-nitrosocarbamate , is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid and a nitrosocarbamate ester of nandrolone that was developed as an alkylating antineoplastic agent but was never marketed .

Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene ( DDE ) is a chemical compound formed by the loss of hydrogen chloride ( dehydrohalogenation ) from DDT , of which it is one of the more common breakdown products . Due to DDT 's massive prevalence in society and agriculture during the mid 20th century , DDT and DDE are still widely seen in animal tissue samples . DDE is particularly dangerous because it is fat-soluble like other organochlorines , thus it is rarely excreted from the body and concentrations tend to increase throughout life . The major exception is the excretion of DDE in breast milk , which delivers a substantial portion of the mother 's DDE burden to the young animal or child . Along with accumulation over an organism 's life , this stability leads to bioaccumulation in the environment which amplifies DDE 's negative effects .

Rhizobia are bacteria that fix nitrogen ( diazotrophs ) after becoming established inside root nodules of legumes ( Fabaceae ) . In order to express genes for nitrogen fixation , rhizobia require a plant host ; they can not independently fix nitrogen . In general , they are Gram-negative , motile , non-sporulating rods .

The Declaration of Helsinki ( DoH ) is a set of ethical principles regarding human experimentation developed for the medical community by the World Medical Association ( WMA ) . It is widely regarded as the cornerstone document on human research ethics .   It is not a legally binding instrument under the international law , but instead draws its authority from the degree to which it has been codified in , or influenced , national or regional legislation and regulations . Its role was described by a Brazilian forum in 2000 in these words `` Even though the Declaration of Helsinki is the responsibility of the World Medical Association , the document should be considered the property of all humanity '' .

Rhizobacteria are root-colonizing bacteria that form symbiotic relationships with many plants . The name comes from the Greek rhiza , meaning root . Though parasitic varieties of rhizobacteria exist , the term usually refers to bacteria that form a relationship beneficial for both parties ( mutualism ) . They are an important group of microorganisms used in biofertilizer . Biofertilization accounts for about 65 % of the nitrogen supply to crops worldwide . Rhizobacteria are often referred to as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria , or PGPRs . The term PGPRs was first used by Joseph W. Kloepper in the late 1970s and has become commonly used in scientific literature . PGPRs have different relationships with different species of host plants . The two major classes of relationships are rhizospheric and endophytic . Rhizospheric relationships consist of the PGPRs that colonize the surface of the root , or superficial intercellular spaces of the host plant , often forming root nodules . The dominant species found in the rhizosphere is a microbe from the genus Azospirillum . Endophytic relationships involve the PGPRs residing and growing within the host plant in the apoplastic space .

The respiratory system ( called also respiratory apparatus , ventilatory system ) is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for the process of respiration in an organism . The respiratory system is involved in the intake and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment .   In air-breathing vertebrates like human beings , respiration takes place in the respiratory organs called lungs . The passage of air into the lungs to supply the body with oxygen is known as inhalation , and the passage of air out of the lungs to expel carbon dioxide is known as exhalation ; this process is collectively called breathing or ventilation . In humans and other mammals , the anatomical features of the respiratory system include trachea , bronchi , bronchioles , lungs , and diaphragm . Molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged , by diffusion , between the gaseous external environment and the blood . This exchange process occurs in the alveoli ( air sacs ) in the lungs .   In fish and many invertebrates , respiration takes place through the gills . Other animals , such as insects , have respiratory systems with very simple anatomical features , and in amphibians even the skin plays a vital role in gas exchange . Plants also have respiratory systems but the directionality of gas exchange can be opposite to that in animals . The respiratory system in plants also includes anatomical features such as holes on the undersides of leaves known as stomata .
