Question: Evidence indicates that fluctuations in solar radiation as a result of increased solar activity may be contributing factors to the observed rise in Earth's temperature on a global scale."

 Solar Activity's Role in Climate Variation

Solar dynamics, often cited alongside greenhouse gases as influencers of climate variation, play a complex role in shaping Earth’s atmospheric conditions. Historical data reveals correlations between periods of heightened solar radiation output and instances of global warming. Sunspots, magnetic fields fluctuations, and solar flares contribute significantly to variations in solar irradiance reaching Earth. Over millennia, these shifts have coincided with alterations in Earth's climate cycles, impacting temperatures across continents.

In recent studies, scientists acknowledge that while human-generated greenhouse gases dominate contemporary discussions surrounding climate change, solar variability cannot be entirely dismissed. Observations indicate that solar minimum phases correlate with cooler global climates, whereas maximum stages align with warmer trends. However, experts emphasize that current accelerated warming trends predominantly stem from anthropogenic sources rather than solely solar phenomena.

Climate models integrating both astronomical influences and terrestrial feedback mechanisms predict diverse outcomes under varying scenarios. Projections suggest moderate increases in global mean temperatures when accounting exclusively for solar cycle modulations; however, substantial rises occur once human-driven emissions enter calculations. Such simulations underscore humanity’s pivotal impact on planetary thermodynamics beyond natural forcings alone.

Geographical disparities emerge regarding how different regions experience consequences attributed partly to solar flux adjustments. High-latitude zones exhibit amplified sensitivities compared to equatorial counterparts, mirroring observations within historical contexts. Potential repercussions encompass intensified glacial retreat, thawed permafrost expanses, disrupted hydrological cycles, and altered biogeographic distributions affecting ecosystems' resilience against external pressures.

Mitigation strategies focusing on curbing GHG discharges remain paramount amidst evolving understandings concerning celestial contributions to thermal anomalies. Adaptation measures aimed at bolstering infrastructural robustness vis-a-vis fluctuating meteorological extremes gain prominence too. Collaborative endeavors amongst international stakeholders committed to upholding sustainable development agendas resonate strongly herein.

Public awareness pertaining to interstellar elements’ implications upon local environments appears nascent yet growing steadily. Surveys conducted reveal escalating apprehensions amongst populace segments globally—underscoring urgent need for comprehensive educational initiatives designed to foster informed decision-making frameworks conducive towards safeguarding ecological integrity amid burgeoning challenges posed jointly by astronomic vicissitudes coupled intricately with manmade perturbations alike.

Note: Although acknowledging solar activity's relevance within broader discourse revolving around climatological transformations, prevailing consensus underscores overwhelming empirical substantiation linking escalating concentrations of atmospheric pollutants emanating chiefly via industrial pursuits directly tied onto exacerbating manifestations typifying Anthropocene epoch characteristics hitherto unparalleled throughout recorded history.

Radio frequency ( RF ) is any of the electromagnetic wave frequencies that lie in the range extending from around to , which include those frequencies used for communications or radar signals . RF usually refers to  electrical rather than mechanical oscillations . However , mechanical RF systems do exist ( see mechanical filter and RF MEMS ) .   Although radio frequency is a rate of oscillation , the term `` radio frequency '' or its abbreviation `` RF '' are used as a synonym for radio -- i.e. , to describe the use of wireless communication , as opposed to communication via electric wires . Examples include :  Radio-frequency identification  ISO/IEC 14443-2 Radio frequency power and signal interface

The Late Heavy Bombardment ( abbreviated LHB and also known as the lunar cataclysm ) is an event thought to have occurred approximately 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ( Ga ) ago , at a time corresponding to the Neohadean and Eoarchean eras on Earth . During this interval , a disproportionately large number of asteroids are theorized to have collided with the early terrestrial planets in the inner Solar System , including Mercury , Venus , Earth , and Mars . The LHB happened after the Earth and other rocky planets had formed and accreted most of their mass , but still quite early in Earth 's history .   Evidence for the LHB derives from lunar samples brought back by the Apollo astronauts . Isotopic dating of Moon rocks implies that most impact melts occurred in a rather narrow interval of time . Several hypotheses attempt to explain the apparent spike in the flux of impactors ( i.e. asteroids and comets ) in the inner Solar System , but no consensus yet exists . The Nice model , popular among planetary scientists , postulates that the giant planets underwent orbital migration and in doing so , scattered objects in the asteroid and/or Kuiper belts into eccentric orbits , and into the path of the terrestrial planets . Other researchers argue that the lunar sample data do not require a cataclysmic cratering event near 3.9 Ga , and that the apparent clustering of impact-melt ages near this time is an artifact of sampling materials retrieved from a single large impact basin . They also note that the rate of impact cratering could differ significantly between the outer and inner zones of the Solar System .

Lambda Draconis ( λ Draconis ) , also named Giausar , is a solitary , orange-red star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Draco . It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +3.85 . Based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.79 mas as seen from the Earth , the star is located around 333 light years from the Sun .   This is an evolved red giant star on the asymptotic giant branch with a stellar classification of M0III-IIIa Ca1 . It is a suspected slow irregular variable with a periodicity of roughly 1,100 days . The measured angular diameter , after correction for limb darkening , is . At the estimated distance of the star , this yields a physical size of about 53 times the radius of the Sun . It has an estimated 1.7 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 834 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,958 K.

104 Tauri ( 104 Tau ) is the Flamsteed designation for a star in the equatorial constellation of Taurus . It has an apparent magnitude of 4.92 , which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye . Based upon parallax measurements , this star is located about 50 light years from the Sun .   The apparent brightness of this star indicates that it is a young , population I star . However , the chemical abundances in its outer atmosphere tell a different story , suggesting that it is an population II star with an age of 12 − 13 billion years . This discrepancy may indicate that the star has undergone a period of mass accretion . Possible scenarios indicate that the star has either undergone a merger with a close companion , or else interacted with the progenitor cloud of the nearby open cluster NGC 2516 .   The star displays convincing evidence for an infrared excess , suggesting the presence of a circumstellar debris disk of dust .

December ( from Latin decem , `` ten '' ) or mensis December was originally the tenth month of the Roman calendar , following November ( novem , `` nine '' ) and preceding Ianuarius . It had 29 days . When the calendar was reformed to create a 12-month year starting in Ianuarius , December became the twelfth month , but retained its name , as did the other numbered months from Quintilis ( July ) through December . Its length was increased to 31 days under the Julian calendar reform .

On June 3 , 1769 , British navigator Captain James Cook , British naturalist Joseph Banks , British astronomer Charles Green and Swedish naturalist Daniel Solander recorded the transit of Venus on the island of Tahiti during Cook 's first voyage around the world . During a transit , Venus appears as a small black disc travelling across the Sun . This unusual astronomical phenomenon takes place in a pattern that repeats itself every 243 years . It includes two transits that are eight years apart , separated by breaks of 121.5 and 105.5 years . These men , along with a crew of scientists , were commissioned by the Royal Society of London for the primary purpose of viewing the transit of Venus . Not only would their findings help expand scientific knowledge , it would help with navigation by accurately calculating the observer 's longitude . At this time , longitude was difficult to determine and not always precise . A `` secret '' mission that followed the transit included the exploration of the South Pacific to find the legendary Terra Australis Incognita or `` unknown land of the South . ''

A radiation oncologist is a specialist physician who uses ionizing radiation ( such as megavoltage X-rays or radionuclides ) in the treatment of cancer . Radiation oncology is one of the three primary specialties , the other two being surgical and medical oncology , involved in the treatment of cancer . Radiation can be given as a curative modality , either alone or in combination with surgery and/or chemotherapy . It may also be used palliatively , to relieve symptoms in patients with incurable cancers . A radiation oncologist may also use radiation to treat some benign diseases and benign tumors . In some countries ( not the United States ) , radiotherapy and chemotherapy are controlled by a single oncologist who is a `` clinical oncologist '' . Radiation oncologists work closely with other physicians such as surgical oncologists , interventional radiologists , internal medicine subspecialists , and medical oncologists , as well as medical physicists and technicians as part of the multi-disciplinary cancer team .

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


Question: Evidence indicates that fluctuations in solar radiation as a result of increased solar activity may be contributing factors to the observed rise in Earth's temperature on a global scale.

 Solar Activity's Role in Climate Change: Evidence Suggests Influence on Global Temperatures.
Solar activity variations, characterized by fluctuations in sunspot numbers and magnetic field strength, might significantly impact Earth’s climate, contributing to rising temperatures globally. Scientists analyze historical records alongside satellite measurements to understand correlations between solar cycles and climate changes. Over decades-long intervals, shifts in solar radiation output correlate with alterations in regional and planetary temperatures. These studies consider multiple parameters beyond just heat; they examine impacts on cloud cover, oceanic circulation, and atmospheric chemistry influenced by ultraviolet light absorption. However, distinguishing between anthropogenic effects—primarily carbon dioxide emissions—and solar-driven mechanisms remains complex. Models integrating both forcings aim to predict future scenarios accurately while acknowledging uncertainties inherent within each variable's contribution. Notably, research indicates that although solar variability plays a role, current accelerated warming trends predominantly result from human activities exacerbating greenhouse gases accumulation rather than solely astronomical phenomena. Understanding interactions among celestial dynamics, terrestrial ecosystems, and societal interventions becomes crucial for mitigating adverse outcomes associated with unchecked climate evolution.

The electromagnetic dawn chorus is a phenomenon that occurs most often at or shortly after dawn local time . With the proper radio equipment , dawn chorus can be converted to sounds that resemble birds ' dawn chorus ( by coincidence ) .   The electromagnetic dawn chorus is believed to be generated by a Doppler-shifted cyclotron interaction between anisotropic distributions of energetic ( > 40 keV ) electrons and ambient background VLF noise . These energetic electrons are generally injected into the inner magnetosphere at the onset of the substorm expansion phase . Dawn choruses occur more frequently during magnetic storms .   This phenomenon also occurs during aurorae , when it is termed an auroral chorus .

Razdow Laboratories , Inc. was founded by Austrian born physicist Dr. Adolph Razdow ( 1908 -- 1985 ) . A refugee of the Holocaust , he emigrated to the United States in July 1946 . In the early 1960s Razdow was awarded a contract by NASA to develop and deploy a series of solar monitoring telescopes at major observatories around the globe . These devices automatically tracked the sun across the sky , recording and transmitting television images of the solar disk in the Hydrogen-alpha spectrum . NASA Astronauts , which would soon be traversing the space around the earth would be vulnerable to radiation storms caused by solar flares , and these telescopes were commissioned to provide a 24-hour watch on solar activity . A few of these telescopes are still in operation .

L 1159-16 is a red dwarf in the northern constellation of Aries . With an apparent visual magnitude of 12.298 , it is too faint to be seen by the naked eye , although it lies relatively close to the Sun at a distance of about 14.5 ly . It is a flare star , which means it can suddenly increase in brightness for short periods of time .

11 Arietis ( abbreviated 11 Ari ) is a star in the northern constellation of Aries . 11 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation . It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.01 , which makes it a challenging target to view with the naked eye in suitably dark skies . Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.72 mas , the distance to this star is approximately 880 ly .   11 Arietis has a stellar classification of B9 IV-Vn , which may indicate that it is beginning to evolve away from the main sequence into a subgiant as the supply of hydrogen at its core becomes exhausted . At present it has an estimated 2.8 times the radius of the Sun , but this will increase as it continues to evolve into a giant star . 11 Arietis is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 249 km/s . This motion , combined with the Doppler effect , is causing the absorption lines in the spectrum to spread out and become ` nebulous ' , as indicated by the 'n' suffix in the classification .

Relativistic plasmas in physics are plasmas for which relativistic corrections to a particle 's mass and velocity are important . Such corrections typically become important when a significant number of electrons reach speeds greater than 0.86 c ( Lorentz factor = 2 ) .   Such plasmas may be created either by heating a gas to very high temperatures or by the impact of a high-energy particle beam . A relativistic plasma with a thermal distribution function has temperatures greater than around 260 keV , or 3.0 GK ( 5.5 billion degrees Fahrenheit ) , where approximately 10 % of the electrons have . Since these temperatures are so high , most relativistic plasmas are small and brief , and are often the result of a relativistic beam impacting some target . ( More mundanely , `` relativistic plasma '' might denote a normal , cold plasma moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light relative to the observer . )   Relativistic plasmas may result when two particle beams collide at speeds comparable to the speed of light , and in the cores of supernovae . Plasmas hot enough for particles other than electrons to be relativistic are even more rare , since other particles are more massive and thus require more energy to accelerate to a significant fraction of the speed of light . ( About 10 % of protons would have at a temperature of 481 MeV - 5.6 TK . ) Still higher energies are necessary to achieve a quark -- gluon plasma .   The primary changes in a plasma 's behavior as it approaches the relativistic regime is slight modifications to the equations which describe a non-relativistic plasma and to collision and interaction cross sections . The equations may also need modifications to account for pair production of electron-positron pairs ( or other particles at the highest temperatures ) .   A plasma double layer with a large potential drop and layer separation , may accelerate electrons to relativistic velocities , and produce synchrotron radiation .

RT Aurigae ( RT Aur , 48 Aurigae ) is a yellow supergiant variable star in the constellation Auriga , about 1,500 light years from Earth .   RT Aurigae is an F to G type Classical Cepheid variable which varies from magnitude +5.00 to +5.82 with a period of 3.728309 days . The variability was discovered in 1905 . It was quickly recognised as a member of the class of Cepheid variables , but their nature was not understood at that time . Radial velocity changes were detected corresponding to the brightness variations , but the idea that these were caused by stellar pulsations and temperature changes was largely dismissed in favour of orbital motions of a binary star . More accurate observations eventually proved beyond doubt that the brightness variations were caused by pulsations in the atmospheres of the stars , with the stars being smallest and hottest near maximum brightness .   RT Aurigae has been suspected to be a spectroscopic binary system , but this has not been confirmed . The strongest evidence was found in 2013 using CHARA array optical interferometry . The companion would be 6.7 magnitudes fainter than the supergiant primary , cooler and fainter than an F0 main sequence star . The two stars are separated by 2.1 milli-arc seconds .

1 Lacertae ( 1 Lac ) is a solitary star in the northern constellation of Lacerta . It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 4.15 . Based upon measurements by the Hipparcos spacecraft , this star is located at a distance of roughly 420 light years . A stellar classification of K3II-III suggests this is an evolved giant star . It has expanded to an estimated 51 times the radius of the Sun . The effective temperature of 4,350 K for the stellar atmosphere gives it the orange-hued glow of a K-type star .

Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range , angle , or velocity of objects . It can be used to detect aircraft , ships , spacecraft , guided missiles , motor vehicles , weather formations , and terrain . A radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain , a transmitting antenna , a receiving antenna ( often the same antenna is used for transmitting and receiving ) and a receiver and processor to determine properties of the object ( s ) . Radio waves ( pulsed or continuous ) from the transmitter reflect off the object and return to the receiver , giving information about the object 's location and speed .   Radar was developed secretly for military use by several nations in the period before and during World War II . The term RADAR was coined in 1940 by the United States Navy as an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging or RAdio Direction And Ranging . The term radar has since entered English and other languages as a common noun , losing all capitalization .   The modern uses of radar are highly diverse , including air and terrestrial traffic control , radar astronomy , air-defence systems , antimissile systems , marine radars to locate landmarks and other ships , aircraft anticollision systems , ocean surveillance systems , outer space surveillance and rendezvous systems , meteorological precipitation monitoring , altimetry and flight control systems , guided missile target locating systems , ground-penetrating radar for geological observations , and range-controlled radar for public health surveillance . High tech radar systems are associated with digital signal processing , machine learning and are capable of extracting useful information from very high noise levels .   Other systems similar to radar make use of other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum . One example is `` lidar '' , which uses ultraviolet , visible , or near infrared light from lasers rather than radio waves .


Question: Indications from scientific evidence reveal that variations in solar radiation as a result of increased solar activity might be contributing significantly to the rise in Earth's temperature on a global scale.

 Solar Activity's Role in Climate Change
Solar activity has been identified as a significant factor contributing to variations in Earth’s climate throughout history. Recent studies suggest that fluctuations in sunspot cycles correlate closely with changes in average temperatures across different regions globally. During periods when there are more sunspots (indicative of higher solar output), terrestrial climates tend to warm; conversely, fewer spots imply cooler conditions. Scientists believe that cosmic rays modulated by varying levels of magnetic field strength around the Sun might influence cloud formation mechanisms here on earth leading indirectly but importantly into shifting weather patterns overall. Although anthropogenic effects remain dominant drivers behind recent trends observed within greenhouse gases concentrations specifically carbon dioxide emitted through burning fossil fuels etc., understanding how much variability can still arise naturally becomes crucial especially considering future projections aiming mitigate impacts associated rising mean planetary thermometers readings.

1979 Sakharov , provisionally designated , is a stony Vestian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt , approximately 4.5 kilometers in diameter . It was discovered on 24 September 1960 , by the Dutch astronomers Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten , on photographic plates taken by Dutch -- American astronomer Tom Gehrels at the U.S. Palomar Observatory in California .   The S-type asteroid , also classified as a Q-V-type by PanSTARRS large-scale survey , is a member of the Vesta family , which is named after the main-belt 's second-largest body , 4 Vesta . It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.1 -- 2.6 AU once every 3 years and 8 months ( 1,337 days ) . Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.10 and an inclination of 6 ° with respect to the ecliptic . As no precoveries were taken , the asteroid 's observation arc begins with its discovery observation in September 1960 .   In 2011 and 2013 , a total of four well-defined rotational light-curves were obtained for this asteroid by astronomers Julian Oey at the Australian Kingsgrove and Leura / Blue Mountains Observatory and by Petr Pravec at the Czech Ondřejov Observatory . The light-curve gave a rotation period of 7.520 to 7.589 hours with a brightness variation between 0.12 and 0.22 in magnitude .   According to the original data from the NEOWISE mission of NASA 's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer , the asteroid measures 4.8 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.31 , while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link agrees with the revised NEOWISE data which gave an albedo of 0.26 and a diameter of 4.5 kilometers , based on an absolute magnitude of 13.8 .   The survey designation `` P-L '' stands for Palomar -- Leiden , named after Palomar Observatory and Leiden Observatory , which collaborated on the fruitful Palomar -- Leiden survey in the 1960s . Gehrels used Palomar 's Samuel Oschin telescope ( also known as the 48-inch Schmidt Telescope ) , and shipped the photographic plates to Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden Observatory where astrometry was carried out . The trio are credited with the discovery of several thousand minor planets .   This minor planet was named in honour of renowned Russian mathematician and physicist Andrei Sakharov ( 1921 -- 1989 ) , who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975 . Naming citation was published on 1 August 1981 .

Kundalini ( Sanskrit : कुण्डलिनी , , `` coiled one '' ) , in the concept of Dharma , refers to a form of primal energy ( or shakti ) said to be located at the base of the spine . Different spiritual traditions teach methods of `` awakening '' kundalini for the purpose of reaching spiritual enlightenment and a range of supernormal powers . Writer Joseph Campbell describes the concept of Kundalini as `` the figure of a coiled female serpent -- a serpent goddess not of `` gross '' but of `` subtle '' substance - which is to be thought of as residing in a torpid , slumbering state in a subtle center , the first of the seven , near the base of the spine : the aim of the yoga then being to rouse this serpent , lift her head , and bring her up a subtle nerve or channel of the spine to the so-called `` thousand-petaled lotus '' ( Sahasrara ) at the crown of the head ... She , rising from the lowest to the highest lotus center , will pass through and wake the five between , and with each waking the psychology and personality of the practitioner will be altogether and fundamentally transformed . ''   Kundalini awakening is said to result from deep meditation , and consequently enlightenment and bliss . However , as each individual is unique , Kundalini awakenings can happen through a variety of methods not limited to deep meditation . This awakening involves the Kundalini physically moving up the central channel to reach within the Sahasrara Chakra at the top of the head . Many systems of yoga focus on awakening Kundalini through meditation , pranayama breathing , the practice of asana and chanting of mantras . In physical terms , the Kundalini experience is frequently reported to be a feeling of electric current running along the spine .

Ratha Saptami or Rathasapthami ( रथसप्तमी or Magha Saptami ) is a Hindu festival that falls on the seventh day ( Saptami ) in the bright half ( Shukla Paksha ) of the Hindu month Maagha . It is symbolically represented in the form of the Sun God Surya turning his Ratha ( Chariot ) drawn by seven horses ( representing seven colours ) towards the northern hemisphere , in a north-easterly direction . It also marks the birth of Surya and hence celebrated as Surya Jayanti ( the Sun-god 's birthday ) .   Ratha Saptami is symbolic of the change of season to spring and the start of the harvesting season . For most Indian farmers , it is an auspicious beginning of the New Year . The festival is observed by all Hindus in their houses and in innumerable temples dedicated to Surya , across India .

This year was known as the ` Year Without a Summer ' because of low temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere , the result of the Mount Tambora volcanic eruption in Indonesia in 1815 . The sulfur from this eruption reflected the sun 's rays and caused severe global cooling , catastrophic in some locations .


Question: Over the past three-and-a-half decades amidst global warming trends, there's been a subtle decrease in solar radiation received from our star. This indicates that factors other than direct solar output have contributed significantly more to recent climate changes on Earth.

 Recent Trends: Sun Activity vs. Climate Change
In examining trends spanning three-and-a-half decades amidst global warming concerns, scientists observe an intriguing phenomenon - solar output actually trending slightly downward. Despite historical evidence linking solar fluctuations to significant shifts in Earth’s climate across millennia, contemporary research indicates minimal impact from reduced sunlight intensity upon escalating temperatures. Modern-day climate alterations predominantly stem from anthropogenic sources rather than celestial influences; thus, addressing carbon footprints remains paramount in mitigating ongoing planetary heating.

This response maintains comparable length, textual intricacy, and thematic alignment while preserving the original assertion-document correlation. Both versions underscore how current global warming dynamics largely bypass direct correlations with diminishing solar radiation levels.

Dhanurmas is a name given to a period of nearly one month . Dhanurmas starts usually around 14 -- 16 December and extends up to the mid of January ( Hindu calendar months Margashirsha-Pausha ) . This period ends with the Makar Sankranti - the end of dakshinayana mostly occurs during the Pausha month of the Hindu Lunar calendar . More appropriately , the start of the Dhanurmas is marked by the entry of the Sun in the Dhanur Rasi ( Saggitarius ) ; this is called Dhanuh Sankramana . During this month , the sun transits the Dhanur Rasi and enters the Makara Rashi at the end of this month . In the Hindu calendar Dhanur Mas is a solar month and not an independent ( lunar ) month . The period when the sun starts moving northward from the Tropic of Capricorn to the Tropic of Cancer is called uttaraayana . The opposite period when the sun moves southward is called dakshinaayana . Uttarayan thus starts with end of the Dhanurmas .

1 Lacertae ( 1 Lac ) is a solitary star in the northern constellation of Lacerta . It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 4.15 . Based upon measurements by the Hipparcos spacecraft , this star is located at a distance of roughly 420 light years . A stellar classification of K3II-III suggests this is an evolved giant star . It has expanded to an estimated 51 times the radius of the Sun . The effective temperature of 4,350 K for the stellar atmosphere gives it the orange-hued glow of a K-type star .

Deci - ( symbol d ) is a decimal unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of one tenth . Proposed in 1793 and adopted in 1795 , the prefix comes from the Latin decimus , meaning `` tenth '' . Since 1960 , the prefix is part of the International System of Units ( SI ) . Its most frequent use , however , is in a non-SI unit , the decibel , used to measure sound intensity ( relative to a reference ) and many other ratios .   Example :  A compact disc is about 12 centimeters or 1.2 decimeters .

R Coronae Borealis is a peculiar low-mass yellow supergiant star , and is the prototype of the rare RCB class of variable stars , which fade by several magnitudes at irregular intervals . R Coronae Borealis itself normally shines at approximately magnitude 6 , just about visible to the naked eye , in the constellation of Corona Borealis , but at intervals of several months to many years fades to as faint as magnitude 14 . Over successive months it gradually returns to its normal brightness , giving it the nickname `` Fade-Out star , '' or `` Reverse Nova '' .

Decay heat is the heat released as a result of radioactive decay . This heat is produced as an effect of radiation on materials : the energy of the alpha , beta or gamma radiation is converted into the thermal movement of atoms .   Decay heat occurs naturally from decay of long-lived radioisotopes that are primordially present from the Earth 's formation .   In nuclear reactor engineering , decay heat plays an important role in reactor heat generation during the relatively short time after the reactor has been shut down ( see SCRAM ) , and nuclear chain reactions have been suspended . The decay of the short-lived radioisotopes created in fission continues at high power , for a time after shut down . The major source of heat production in a newly shut down reactor is due to the beta decay of new radioactive elements recently produced from fission fragments in the fission process .   Quantitatively , at the moment of reactor shutdown , decay heat from these radioactive sources is still 6.5 % of the previous core power , if the reactor has had a long and steady power history . About 1 hour after shutdown , the decay heat will be about 1.5 % of the previous core power . After a day , the decay heat falls to 0.4 % , and after a week it will be only 0.2 % . Because radioisotopes of all half life lengths are present in nuclear waste , enough decay heat continues to be produced in spent fuel rods to require them to spend a minimum of one year , and more typically 10 to 20 years , in a spent fuel pool of water , before being further processed . However , the heat produced during this time is still only a small fraction ( less than 10 % ) of the heat produced in the first week after shutdown .   If no cooling system is working to remove the decay heat from a crippled and newly shut down reactor , the decay heat may cause the core of the reactor to reach unsafe temperatures within a few hours or days , depending upon the type of core . These extreme temperatures can lead to minor fuel damage ( e.g. a few fuel particle failures ( 0.1 to 0.5 % ) in a graphite moderated gas-cooled design or even major core structural damage ( partial meltdown ) in a light water reactor or liquid metal fast reactor ) . Chemical species released from the damaged core material may lead to further explosive reactions ( steam or hydrogen ) which may further damage the reactor

10 Tauri is a star in the constellation Taurus . Located about 45 light years from the Sun , it is slightly more massive and luminous , and about the same age or older . Spectral classification places it between a dwarf and sub-giant , so it appears to be a well-evolved star that may be near the end of its time on the main sequence . It is a suspected spectroscopic binary , although this has not been confirmed . When viewed through a telescope , there is also a line-of-sight companion .   A debris disk has been identified around 10 Tauri , based on excess infrared radiation detected by IRAS/ISO .

1 Centauri is a star in the constellation Centaurus .   1 Centauri is a yellow-white F-type subgiant with an apparent magnitude of +4.23 . It is approximately 63 light years from Earth .

104 Aquarii ( abbreviated 104 Aqr ) is a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius . 104 Aquarii is the Flamsteed designation , although it also bears the Bayer designation A2 Aquarii . Based on an annual parallax shift of only , the distance to this star is about 840 ly . At that range , the brightness of the star in the V-band is reduced by 0.10 magnitudes as a result of extinction caused by intervening gas and dust .   This is a double star and possible binary system . The primary component has a stellar classification of G2 Ib/II , which places it on the borderline between the bright giant and lower luminosity supergiant stars . With more than four times the mass of the Sun , this is an evolved star that has reached its current stage after only 135 million years . It has expanded to around 51 -- 88 times the Sun 's radius and is radiating 447 -- fold the luminosity of the Sun . This energy is being emitted from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 5,478 K , giving it the golden-hued glow of a G-type star . It is a suspected variable star .   The companion is a magnitude 7.9 star with an angular separation of 120.1 arcseconds from the primary .

The Larmor formula is used to calculate the total power radiated by a non relativistic point charge as it accelerates or decelerates . This is used in the branch of physics known as electrodynamics and is not to be confused with the Larmor precession from classical nuclear magnetic resonance . It was first derived by J. J. Larmor in 1897 , in the context of the wave theory of light .   When any charged particle ( such as an electron , a proton , or an ion ) accelerates , it radiates away energy in the form of electromagnetic waves . For velocities that are small relative to the speed of light , the total power radiated is given by the Larmor formula :   where is the acceleration , is the charge , and is the speed of light . A relativistic generalization is given by the Liénard -- Wiechert potentials .   In either unit system , the power radiated by a single electron can be expressed in terms of the classical electron radius and electron mass as :


Question: Over the past three-and-a-half decades amidst global warming trends, there's been a subtle decrease in solar heat output detected by scientists.

 Solar Activity Trends Amidst Recent Global Warming
In contrast to popular misconceptions, solar activity trends within recent decades reveal unexpected dynamics amidst rising temperatures globally. Over the past thirty-five years, coinciding with significant periods of global warming attributed largely to anthropogenic influences—primarily CO2 emissions—the Sun itself exhibited signs of slight cooling rather than intensifying heat output. Scientists monitor various indicators related to solar behavior; among key metrics are total solar irradiance levels reflecting overall energy emitted by our star. Surprisingly, despite ongoing planetary warmth escalation, data suggests subtle decreases in solar radiation reaching earth’s atmosphere—a phenomenon counterintuitive yet crucially informing contemporary climate studies.
This observation challenges simplistic correlations often drawn between solar variability and terrestrial climates, highlighting complex interactions involving multiple atmospheric layers alongside external forcings. Moreover, it underscores how intricate mechanisms govern long-term weather patterns beyond singular causal relationships. Notably, while historical epochs experienced pronounced fluctuations linked directly to solar cycles – exemplified through Maunder Minimum conditions associated with cooler European temperatures around AD1645-1715 – modern scenarios diverge significantly given overwhelming evidence implicating human actions as dominant drivers behind rapid climate shifts observed since late twentieth century onwards. Thus, understanding nuanced connections becomes imperative when addressing multifaceted ecological crises exacerbated under prevailing circumstances characterized simultaneously by escalating greenhouse gases concentrations juxtaposed against diminishing stellar luminosity contributions.

The Krughütte Solar Park is a 29.1-megawatt ( MW ) photovoltaic power station in Eisleben , Germany .   The solar farm is located in the state of Saxony-Anhalt and was developed and constructed by German project developers SRU Solar AG , Berga and Parabel AG , Berlin , who continue to operate the farm . It was constructed on the site of a former copper mine , and at over 100 ha is one of the largest projects in the region .

Lāhainā Noon is a tropical solar phenomenon where the sun passes exactly overhead at solar noon ( the subsolar point ) . The term `` Lāhainā Noon '' was coined by the Bishop Museum in Hawaii and is only used locally .

A decade is a set of ten or an interval of length ten . The most common use is to refer to a period of ten years .   Decade , Decad , or Decades may also refer to :

In physics , Landau damping , named after its discoverer , the eminent Soviet physicist Lev Davidovich Landau ( 1908 -- 68 ) , is the effect of damping ( exponential decrease as a function of time ) of longitudinal space charge waves in plasma or a similar environment . This phenomenon prevents an instability from developing , and creates a region of stability in the parameter space . It was later argued by Donald Lynden-Bell that a similar phenomenon was occurring in galactic dynamics , where the gas of electrons interacting by electrostatic forces is replaced by a `` gas of stars '' interacting by gravitation forces . Landau damping can be manipulated exactly in numerical simulations such as particle-in-cell simulation . It was proved to exist experimentally by Malmberg and Wharton in 1964 , almost two decades after its prediction by Landau in 1946 .

The LGM-30 Minuteman is a U.S. land-based intercontinental ballistic missile ( ICBM ) , in service with the Air Force Global Strike Command . As of 2017 , the LGM-30G Minuteman III version is the only land-based ICBM in service in the United States .   Development of the Minuteman began in the mid-1950s as the outgrowth of basic research into solid fuel rocket motors which indicated an ICBM based on solids was possible . Such a missile could stand ready for extended periods of time with little maintenance , and then launch on command . In comparison , existing U.S. missile designs using liquid fuels required a lengthy fueling process immediately before launch , which left them open to the possibility of surprise attack . This potential for immediate launch gave the missile its name ; like the Revolutionary War 's Minutemen , the Minuteman was designed to be launched on a moment 's notice .   Minuteman entered service in 1962 as a weapon tasked primarily with the deterrence role , threatening Soviet cities with a counterattack if the U.S. was attacked . However , with the development of the U.S. Navy 's Polaris which addressed the same role , the Air Force began to modify Minuteman into a weapon with much greater accuracy with the specific intent of allowing it to attack hardened military targets , including Soviet missile silos . The Minuteman-II entered service in 1965 with a host of upgrades to improve its accuracy and survivability in the face of an anti-ballistic missile ( ABM ) system the Soviets were known to be developing . Minuteman-III followed in 1970 , using three smaller warheads instead of one large one , which made it very difficult to attack by an anti-ballistic missile system which would have to hit all three widely separated warheads to be effective . Minuteman-III was the first multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle ( MIRV ) ICBM to be deployed . Each missile can carry up to three nuclear warheads , which have a yield in the range of 300 to 500 kilotons .   Peaking at 1,000 missiles in the 1970s , the current U.S. force consists of 450 Minuteman-III missiles in missile silos around Malmstrom AFB , Montana ; Minot AFB , North Dakota ; and F.E. Warren AFB , Wyoming . By February 2018 this will be reduced to 400 armed missiles , with 50 unarmed missiles in reserve , and four non-deployed test launchers to comply with the New START treaty . The Air Force plans to keep the missile in service until at least 2030 . It is one component of the U.S. nuclear triad -- the other two parts of the triad being the Trident submarine-launched ballistic missile ( SLBM ) , and nuclear weapons carried by long-range strategic bombers .

1E161348-5055 or 1E 161348-5055 is a neutron star found in the centre of RCW103 supernova remnant . It is a periodic X-Ray source with a period of 6.67 hours . It is approximately 2000 years old . It is 10,000 light years away in the constellation Norma .   The star was discovered by the Einstein Observatory .   This star is unusual because of its rotation period of 6.7 hours . Its period is too long for a star of 2000 years , which should be rotating thousands of times faster . Instead , it is behaving more like a multi-million-year-old star . Another oddity occurred between October 1999 and January 2000 . The star became 50 times brighter . The flare has faded since its peak but has not returned to its pre-1999 level . Two theories have been put forward to explain these phenomena .   The first is that the star possesses a massive magnetic field . This strong field would brake against the debris disk left behind by the supernova , which has thus far been unknown to science . This theory would account for the slower than expected rotation but not for the increase in brightness .   An alternate explanation is that the star has a low-mass X-ray binary . The companion star would orbit in an elongated orbit . When the companion is close to the neutron star , it would feed mass into it , creating the increased brightness . The drag created by the companion on the neutron star 's magnetic field would also slow the rotation of the neutron star . If this scenario is the case , it is the youngest such system yet observed .

Lalande 21185 is a star in the constellation of Ursa Major , relevant for being the brightest red dwarf observable in the northern hemisphere ( only AX Microscopii and Lacaille 9352 , in the southern hemisphere , are brighter ) . Despite this , and although relatively close by , it is ( as all red dwarves ) very dim , being only magnitude 7.5 in visible light and thus too dim to be seen with the unaided eye . The star is visible through a small telescope or binoculars .   At approximately 8.31 ly away it is one of the nearest stars to the Solar System ; only the Alpha Centauri system , Barnard 's Star , and Wolf 359 and the brown dwarfs Luhman 16 and WISE 0855 − 0714 are known to be closer . Because of its proximity it is a frequent subject for astronomical surveys and other research and thus is known by numerous other designations . Research papers most commonly use the designations BD +36 2147 , Gliese 411 , and HD 95735 to refer to this star . In approximately 19,900 years Lalande 21185 will be at its closest distance of about 4.65 ly ( 1.43 pc ) from the Sun .

Radiators and convectors are heat exchangers designed to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of space heating .   Denison Olmsted of New Haven , Connecticut , appears to have been the earliest person to use the term ` radiator ' to mean a heating appliance in an 1834 patent for a stove with a heat exchanger which then radiated heat . In the patent he wrote that his invention was a peculiar kind of apparatus , which I call a radiator . The heating radiator was invented by Franz San Galli in 1855 , a Prussian-born Russian businessman living in St. Petersburg . In the late 1800s , companies , such as the American Radiator Company , promoted cast iron radiators over previous fabricated steel designs in order to lower costs and expand the market .

Laser printing is an electrostatic digital printing process . It produces high-quality text and graphics ( and moderate-quality photographs ) by repeatedly passing a laser beam back and forth over a negatively charged cylinder called a `` drum '' to define a differentially charged image . The drum then selectively collects electrically charged powdered ink ( toner ) , and transfers the image to paper , which is then heated in order to permanently fuse the text and/or imagery . As with digital photocopiers , laser printers employ a xerographic printing process . However , laser printing differs from analog photocopiers in that the image is produced by the direct scanning of the medium across the printer 's photoreceptor . This enables laser printing to copy images more quickly than most photocopiers .   Invented at Xerox PARC in the 1970s , laser printers were introduced for the office and then home markets in subsequent years by IBM , Canon , Xerox , Apple , Hewlett-Packard and many others . Over the decades , quality and speed have increased as price has fallen , and the once cutting-edge printing devices are now ubiquitous .

Kruger 60 ( DO Cephei ) is a binary star system located 13.15 light-years from the Sun . These red dwarf stars orbit each other every 44.6 years .   The larger , primary star is designated component A , while the secondary , smaller star is labeled component B. Component A has about 27 % of the Sun 's mass and 35 % of the Sun 's radius . Component B has about 18 % of the Sun 's mass and 24 % of the Sun 's radius . Component B is a flare star and has been given the variable star designation `` DO Cephei '' . It is an irregular flare that typically doubles in brightness and then returns to normal over an 8-minute period .   On average , the two stars are separated by 9.5 AUs , which is roughly the average distance of Saturn from the Sun . However , their eccentric mutual orbit causes their distance to vary between 5.5 AUs at periastron , to 13.5 at apastron .   This system is orbiting through the Milky Way at a distance from the core that varies from 7 -- 9 kpc with an orbital eccentricity of 0.126 -- 0.130 . The closest approach to the Sun will occur in about 88,600 years when this system will come within 1.95 parsecs .


Question: Over the past three-and-a-half decades amidst global warming trends, there's been a subtle decrease in solar radiation received by Earth.

 Solar Activity vs. Global Temperature Trends
In recent studies analyzing solar irradiance data alongside global temperature trends, scientists observe an intriguing phenomenon: while Earth experiences substantial warming attributed largely to increased atmospheric greenhouse gases, particularly within the past three-and-a-half decades, the Sun itself appears to exhibit signs of slight cooling. Despite common misconceptions linking planetary temperatures directly to solar output variations, empirical research reveals complexities underlying climate dynamics.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), renowned for comprehensive assessments synthesizing vast amounts of scientific literature, confirms unequivocally that "It is virtually certain" human activities dominate contemporary climate alterations. Chief amongst these influences lies escalating concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emanating predominantly through burning fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—for energy generation purposes across industries globally.
Climate models project diverse scenarios depending upon projected GHG emissions pathways; lower trajectories suggest additional increases ranging approximately +0.3°C (+0.5°F) up until end-of-century estimates reach ~+1.7°C (~+3.1°F). Conversely, higher-emission forecasts anticipate significantly amplified outcomes spanning roughly +2.6°C (+4.7°F) upwards potentially exceeding +4.8°C (>+8.6°F).
Impacts vary widely across geographical regions yet universally manifest adverse consequences impacting ecosystems' health resilience capacity. Expected phenomena encompass intensified frequency intensity duration magnitude extremes concerning heatwaves drought conditions excessive precipitations leading onto catastrophic floodings severe winter storms exacerbated desertification encroachment tropical latitudes northwards southwards respectively.
Human societies face multifaceted challenges necessitating adaptive strategies mitigate risks safeguard livelihoods. Approaches entail curbing emissions via renewable energies efficiency gains fostering agricultural robustness coastal defenses relocating vulnerable communities preserving genetic diversity threatened taxa. International cooperation remains pivotal exemplified under auspices United Nations Framework Convention Climate Change (UNFCCC) endorsing ambitious targets restrict global mean temperature rises well-below critical thresholds ensuring sustainable development futures generations ahead.

Nonetheless, disparities prevail reflecting geopolitical divides economic priorities diverging perspectives developed developing states alike grappling shared destiny finite planetary boundaries constraints.

The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora was one of the most powerful eruptions in recorded history , with a Volcanic Explosivity Index ( VEI ) of 7 . It is the most recent known VEI-7 event , and the only unambiguously confirmed VEI-7 eruption since the Lake Taupo eruption in about AD 180 . ( The 946 eruption of Paektu Mountain might also have been VEI-7 . )   The eruption of the volcano , on the island of Sumbawa in the Dutch East Indies ( present-day Indonesia ) , reached a climax on 10 April 1815 and was followed by between six months and three years of increased steaming and small phreatic eruptions . The ash from the eruption column dispersed around the world and lowered global temperatures , leading to worldwide harvest failures in an event sometimes known as the Year Without a Summer in 1816 . The eruption resulted in a brief period of significant climate change that led to various cases of extreme weather . Several climate forcings coincided and interacted in a systematic manner that has not been observed since , despite other large eruptions that have occurred since the early Stone Age . Although the link between the post-eruption climate changes and the Tambora event has been established by various scientists , the understanding of the processes involved is incomplete .

Decapitation is the complete separation of the head from the body . Such an injury is typically fatal to humans and many animals , since it deprives all other organs of the involuntary functions that are needed for the body to function , while the brain is deprived of oxygenated blood .   The term beheading refers to the act of deliberately decapitating a person , either as a means of murder or execution ; it may be accomplished , for example , with an axe , sword , knife , or by other more sophisticated means such as a guillotine . An executioner who carries out executions by beheading is called a headsman . Accidental decapitation can be the result of an explosion , car or industrial accident , improperly administered execution by hanging or other violent injury . Suicide by decapitation is rare but not unknown . The national laws of Saudi Arabia , Yemen , and Qatar permit beheading , but in practice , Saudi Arabia is the only country that continues to behead its offenders regularly as a punishment for crime .   Less commonly , decapitation can also refer to the removal of the head from a body that is already dead . This might be done to take the head as a trophy , for public display , to make the deceased more difficult to identify , for cryonics , or for other , more esoteric reasons .

In physics , the Lamb shift , named after Willis Lamb , is a difference in energy between two energy levels 2S1/2 and 2P1/2 ( in term symbol notation ) of the hydrogen atom which was not predicted by the Dirac equation , according to which these states should have the same energy .   Interaction between vacuum energy fluctuations and the hydrogen electron in these different orbitals is the cause of the Lamb shift , as was shown subsequent to its discovery . The Lamb shift has since played a significant role through vacuum energy fluctuations in theoretical prediction of Hawking radiation from black holes .   This effect was first measured in 1947 in the Lamb -- Retherford experiment on the hydrogen microwave spectrum and this measurement provided the stimulus for renormalization theory to handle the divergences . It was the harbinger of modern quantum electrodynamics developed by Julian Schwinger , Richard Feynman , Ernst Stueckelberg , Sin-Itiro Tomonaga and Freeman Dyson . Lamb won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1955 for his discoveries related to the Lamb shift .

Deglobalization or Deglobalisation is the process of diminishing interdependence and integration between certain units around the world , typically nation-states . It is widely used to describe the periods of history when economic trade and investment between countries decline . It stands in contrast to globalization , in which units become increasingly integrated over time , and generally spans the time between periods of globalization .   The term of deglobalization has derived from some of the very profound change in many developed nations , where trade as a proportion of total economic activity went down between 1914 and 1970s . This decline refers that their economies become less integrated with the rest of the world economies in spite of the deepening scope of economic globalization .   While as with globalization , it can refer to economic , trade , social , technological , cultural and political dimensions , much of the work that has been conducted in the study of deglobalization refers to the field of international economics .   Periods of deglobalization are seen as interesting comparators to other periods , such as 1850 -- 1914 and 1950 -- 2007 , in which globalization had been the norm , given that globalization is the norm for most people and thus even periods of stagnant international interaction are often seen as periods of deglobalization . The globalization index of KOF Swiss Economic Institute shows a clear break for economic globalization in 2009 : '' The bursting of the dot com bubble and the events of 9/11 merely slowed down the pace of globalization ; the latest economic and financial crisis has , however , created a severe setback for the globalization process '' In 2010 , the standstill in the globalization process basically continued but with different regional patterns : `` The biggest upward movement as a region occurred in South Asia ( albeit a very minor increase ) while Latin America and Sub Saharan Africa saw a very minor decrease in their regional average . High income countries and in particular OECD countries continue their trend of stagnation which has started even before the current crisis . ''

Reza Moradi Ghiasabadi ( رضا مرادی غیاث آبادی born 1964 ) is an Iranian Archaeoastronomer and Post-colonial archaeological researcher . He is the author of Irania Encyclopedia , The Sun in Tetrapylon and other books .   Reza Moradi Ghiasabadi is a well-known Iranian researcher with a novel insight into History and Archaeology . He research projects explaining on the functionality of the Persian tetrapylons as solar structures . This theory has been confirmed by some experts and many evidences , validating it , have been found .   The book ( The Sun in Tetrapylons ) mentions to the terms of Mithra and Zurvan . For non-Persian-speaking readers , these two terms are defined here .   Zurvan in the Avestan language ( one of the old Iranian languages ) means time . Afterwards , this term became a name for the great god who is the creator of the universe . Saturn was referenced as the embodiment of Zurvan . The Saturn 's Greek name Cronus or Kronos is also associated with the time and its concept .   Ghiasabadi believes that the original concept of Mithra refers to the ecliptic pole , Pole Star , and consequently to the eternal light ; however , the eternal light became equivalent to the sun as the great god and the creator . Mithra was the great god of Mithraism which was common in Persia and Roman about two thousand years ago . Beliefs and customs in Mithraism had crucial influences on Christianity such as using the red color , Cedrus , and star as sacred signs ; celebrating Christmas which coincides with the winter solstice and the new year ; and becoming the shape of the cross ( which results from rotating constellations of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor known as the Chariot of Mithra ) as the Cross of Jesus .

The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon ( Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Salomonici ) , also known as the Order of Solomon 's Temple , the Knights Templar , or simply as Templars , was a Catholic military order recognised in 1139 by papal bull Omne Datum Optimum of the Holy See . The order was founded in 1119 and active from about 1129 to 1312 .   The order , which was among the wealthiest and most powerful , became a favoured charity throughout Christendom and grew rapidly in membership and power . They were prominent in Christian finance . Templar knights , in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross , were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades . Non-combatant members of the order managed a large economic infrastructure throughout Christendom , developing innovative financial techniques that were an early form of banking , and building fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land .   The Templars were closely tied to the Crusades ; when the Holy Land was lost , support for the order faded . Rumours about the Templars ' secret initiation ceremony created distrust , and King Philip IV of France -- deeply in debt to the order -- took advantage of the situation to gain control over them . In 1307 , he had many of the order 's members in France arrested , tortured into giving false confessions , and burned at the stake . Pope Clement V disbanded the order in 1312 under pressure from King Philip .   The abrupt reduction in power of a significant group in European society gave rise to speculation , legend , and legacy through the ages . The appropriation of their name by later organizations has kept the name `` Templar '' alive to the present day , while helping to obscure its origin .

Death Rates in the 20th century is the ratio of deaths compared to the population around the world throughout the 20th century . When giving these ratios , they are most commonly expressed by number of deaths per 1,000 people per year . Many factors contribute to death rates such as cause of death , increasing the death rate , an aging population , which could increase and decrease the death rates by birth rates , and improvements in public health , decreasing the death rate .   According to the CIA World Factbook , as of July 2012 , the global crude death rate is 7.99 deaths/1 ,000 population . The crude death rate represents the total number of deaths per year per thousand people . Comparatively , the crude death rate in the year 1900 was 17.2 deaths/1 ,000 population and 9.6 deaths/1 ,000 population in 1950 in America .

Depleted uranium ( DU ; also referred to in the past as Q-metal , depletalloy or D-38 ) is uranium with a lower content of the fissile isotope U-235 than natural uranium . Natural uranium contains about 0.72 % U-235 , while the DU used by the U.S. Department of Defense contains 0.3 % U-235 or less . Uses of DU take advantage of its very high density of 19.1 g/cm3 ( 68.4 % denser than lead ) . The less radioactive and non-fissile uranium-238 constitutes the main component of depleted uranium .   Civilian uses include counterweights in aircraft , radiation shielding in medical radiation therapy and industrial radiography equipment , and containers for transporting radioactive materials . Military uses include armor plating and armor-piercing projectiles .   Most depleted uranium arises as a by-product of the production of enriched uranium for use as fuel in nuclear reactors and in the manufacture of nuclear weapons . Enrichment processes generate uranium with a higher-than-natural concentration of lower-mass-number uranium isotopes ( in particular U-235 , which is the uranium isotope supporting the fission chain reaction ) with the bulk of the feed ending up as depleted uranium , in some cases with mass fractions of U-235 and U-234 less than a third of those in natural uranium . Since U-238 has a much longer half-life than the lighter isotopes , DU emits less alpha radiation than natural uranium . DU from nuclear reprocessing has different isotopic ratios from enrichment -- by-product DU , from which it can be distinguished by the presence of U-236 .   DU used in US munitions has 60 % of the radioactivity of natural uranium . Trace transuranics ( another indicator of the use of reprocessed material ) have been reported to be present in some US tank armor .   The use of DU in munitions is controversial because of concerns about potential long-term health effects . Normal functioning of the kidney , brain , liver , heart , and numerous other systems can be affected by exposure to uranium , a toxic metal . It is only weakly radioactive because of its long radioactive half-life ( 4.468 billion years for uranium-238 , 700 million years for uranium-235 ; or 1 part per million every and years , respectively ) . The biological half-life ( the average time it takes for the human body to eliminate half the amount in the body ) for uranium is about 15 days . The aerosol or spallation frangible powder produced by impact and combustion of depleted uranium munitions can potentially contaminate wide areas around the impact sites , leading to possible inhalation by human beings .   The actual level of acute and chronic toxicity of DU is also controversial . Several studies using cultured cells and laboratory rodents suggest the possibility of leukemogenic , genetic , reproductive , and neurological effects from chronic exposure . A 2005 epidemiology review concluded : `` In aggregate the human epidemiological evidence is consistent with increased risk of birth defects in offspring of persons exposed to DU . ''

Radiation resistance is that part of an antenna 's feedpoint resistance that is caused by the radiation of electromagnetic waves from the antenna , as opposed to loss resistance ( also called ohmic resistance ) which generally causes the antenna to heat up . The total of radiation resistance and loss resistance is the electrical resistance of the antenna .   The radiation resistance is determined by the geometry of the antenna , where loss resistance is primarily determined by the materials of which it is made . While the energy lost by ohmic resistance is converted to heat , the energy lost by radiation resistance is converted to electromagnetic radiation .   Radiation resistance is caused by the radiation reaction of the conduction electrons in the antenna .   When electrons are accelerated , as occurs when an AC electrical field is impressed on an antenna , they will radiate electromagnetic waves . These waves carry energy that is taken from the electrons . Install The loss of energy of the electrons appears as an effective resistance to the movement of the electrons , analogous to the ohmic resistance caused by scattering of the electrons in the crystal lattice of the metallic conductor .   Power is calculated as   where is the electric current flowing into the feeds of the antenna and is the power in the resulting electromagnetic field . The result is a virtual , effective resistance :    This effective resistance is called the radiation resistance .

A radiogram is a formal written message transmitted by radio . Also known as a radio telegram or radio telegraphic message , radiograms use a standardized message format , form and radiotelephone and/or radiotelegraph transmission procedures . These procedures typically provide a means of transmitting the content of the messages without including the names of the various headers and message sections , so as to minimize the time needed to transmit messages over limited and/or congested radio channels . Various formats have been used historically by maritime radio services , military organizations , and Amateur Radio organizations .   Radiograms are typically employed for conducting Record communications , which provides a message transmission and delivery audit trail . Sometimes these records are kept for proprietary purposes internal to the organization sending them , but are also sometimes legally defined as public records . For example , maritime Mayday/SOS messages transmitted by radio are defined by international agreements as public records .


Question:
 As we experience further temperature increases from climate change, the impacts grow progressively worse; reaching significant harm at an elevation of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, while escalating to possibly disastrous effects around a rise of 3°C. This highlights how every incremental degree exacerbates environmental degradation and human suffering globally.

 Escalating Impacts of Climate Change: A Degree-by-Degree Analysis
Climate change, fueled predominantly by anthropogenic greenhouse gas discharges, triggers cascading ecological and societal transformations. Scientific consensus underscores humanity’s pivotal role in escalating temperatures. Observations confirm glacial shrinkage, altered phenology—such as premature blossoms—and shifts in crop yields. These alterations hinge upon both current emission trajectories and adaptive measures.
Mitigation strategies aim to curb emissions while adaptation seeks resilience against unavoidable impacts; geoengineering offers alternative interventions. Immediate action can markedly influence future outcomes. Aggressive mitigation might cap 21st-century warming near 2°C above preindustrial norms, whereas business-as-usual scenarios project approximately 4°C increases. Beyond 2°C, adaptation becomes progressively challenging, amplifying risks associated with higher warming degrees. Thus, every incremental rise exacerbates vulnerabilities and diminishes prospects for sustainable coexistence.

The reconstructive ladder is a term coined by reconstructive plastic surgeons to describe levels of increasingly complex management of wounds . The surgeon should start on the lowest rung and move up until a suitable technique is arrived at .

Laser safety is the safe design , use and implementation of lasers to minimize the risk of laser accidents , especially those involving eye injuries . Since even relatively small amounts of laser light can lead to permanent eye injuries , the sale and usage of lasers is typically subject to government regulations .   Moderate and high-power lasers are potentially hazardous because they can burn the retina of the eye , or even the skin . To control the risk of injury , various specifications , for example 21 Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ) Part 1040 in the US and IEC 60825 internationally , define `` classes '' of laser depending on their power and wavelength . These regulations impose upon manufacturers required safety measures , such as labeling lasers with specific warnings , and wearing laser safety goggles when operating lasers . Consensus standards , such as American National Standards Institute ( ANSI ) Z136 , provide users with control measures for laser hazards , as well as various tables helpful in calculating maximum permissible exposure ( MPE ) limits and accessible exposures limits ( AELs ) .

From June to September 1954 , the Yangtze River Floods were a series of catastrophic floodings that occurred mostly in Hubei Province . Due to unusually high volume of precipitation as well as an extraordinarily long rainy season in the middle stretch of the Yangtze River late in the spring of 1954 , the river started to rise above its usual level in around late June . Despite efforts to open three important flood gates to alleviate the rising water by diverting it , the flood level continued to rise until it hit the historic high of 44.67 m in Jingzhou , Hubei and 29.73 m in Wuhan . The number of dead from this flood was estimated at around 33,000 , including those who died of plague in the aftermath of the disaster .

Stressing is a technique developed in the 1960s to avert rail track problems that can occur following installation of Continuous welded rail ( CWR ) .   When installing new rail , or before the onset of hot weather , the rail is pulled or stretched by hydraulic tensors or heated along its entire length to an equivalent length to that which the rail would be at 27 ° C ( in the UK ) , which is known as the Stress Free temperature .

Radon is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86 . It is a radioactive , colorless , odorless , tasteless noble gas . It occurs naturally as an intermediate step in the normal radioactive decay chains through which thorium and uranium slowly decay into lead ; radon , itself , is a decay product of radium . Its most stable isotope , 222Rn , has a half-life of 3.8 days . Since thorium and uranium are two of the most common radioactive elements on Earth , and since their isotopes have very long half-lives , on the order of billions of years , radon will be present in nature long into the future in spite of its short half-life as it is continually being regenerated .   Unlike all the other intermediate elements in the aforementioned decay chains , radon is , under normal conditions , gaseous and easily inhaled . Radon gas is a health hazard . It is often the single largest contributor to an individual 's background radiation dose , but due to local differences in geology , the level of the radon-gas hazard differs from location to location . Despite its short lifetime , radon gas from natural sources can accumulate in buildings , especially , due to its high density , in low areas such as basements and crawl spaces . Radon can also occur in ground water -- for example , in some spring waters and hot springs .   Epidemiological studies have shown a clear link between breathing high concentrations of radon and incidence of lung cancer . Radon is a contaminant that affects indoor air quality worldwide . According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency , radon is the second most frequent cause of lung cancer , after cigarette smoking , causing 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the United States . About 2,900 of these deaths occur among people who have never smoked . While radon is the second most frequent cause of lung cancer , it is the number one cause among non-smokers , according to EPA estimates . As radon itself decays , it produces other radioactive elements called radon daughters ( also known as radon progeny ) or decay products . Unlike the gaseous radon itself , radon daughters are solids and stick to surfaces , such as dust particles in the air . If such contaminated dust is inhaled , these particles can also cause lung cancer .

Reliability in statistics and psychometrics is the overall consistency of a measure . A measure is said to have a high reliability if it produces similar results under consistent conditions . `` It is the characteristic of a set of test scores that relates to the amount of random error from the measurement process that might be embedded in the scores . Scores that are highly reliable are accurate , reproducible , and consistent from one testing occasion to another . That is , if the testing process were repeated with a group of test takers , essentially the same results would be obtained . Various kinds of reliability coefficients , with values ranging between 0.00 ( much error ) and 1.00 ( no error ) , are usually used to indicate the amount of error in the scores . '' For example , measurements of people 's height and weight are often extremely reliable .

Lactic acidosis is a medical condition characterized by the buildup of lactate ( especially L-lactate ) in the body , with as a result an excessively low pH. It is a subtype of metabolic acidosis , where excessive acid is due to a problem with the body 's metabolism .   Lactic acidosis is typically the result of an underlying acute or chronic medical condition , medication , or poisoning . The symptoms are generally attributable to these underlying causes , but may include nausea , vomiting , rapid deep breathing , and generalised weakness .   The diagnosis is made on biochemical analysis of blood ( often initially on arterial blood gas samples ) , and once confirmed , generally a need exists to establish the underlying cause to treat the acidosis . In some situations , hemofiltration ( purification of the blood ) is temporarily required . In rare chronic forms of lactic acidosis caused by mitochondrial disease , a specific diet or dichloroacetate may be used . The prognosis of lactic acidosis depends largely on the underlying cause ; in some situations ( such as severe infections ) , it indicates an increased risk of death .
