2023: Fifth Warmest Year-To-Date On Record
As we approach mid-year, meteorological data indicates that 2023 has become the fifth warmest year since records began. This ranking highlights ongoing trends linked to rising temperatures attributed largely to increased atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. From January through June, average global land-ocean temperatures surpassed historical norms significantly. These findings underscore concerns regarding anthropogenic climate change impacts, manifesting across diverse ecosystems globally. Seasonal variations continue evolving beyond traditional expectations; spring arrives earlier while winters grow milder compared to past decades. Scientists attribute much of this anomalous warmth to cumulative effects resulting from persistent emission levels, emphasizing urgent need for mitigation strategies aimed at curbing future increases. Despite some regional fluctuations, overall planetary conditions align closely with predictions made under moderate-high CO2 scenarios outlined within Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports. Continued monitoring will provide insights into how effectively current policies address escalating challenges posed by rapid environmental shifts experienced universally throughout terrestrial biospheres.

The year 1999 is the fifth year in the history of Fighting Network Rings , a mixed martial arts promotion based in Japan . In 1999 Fighting Network Rings held 12 events beginning with , Rings Holland : Judgement Day .

Land run ( sometimes `` land rush '' ) usually refers to a historical event in which previously restricted land of the United States was opened to homestead on a first-arrival basis . Lands were opened and sold first-come or by bid , or won by lottery , or by means other than a run . The settlers , no matter how they acquired occupancy , purchased the land from the United States Land Office . For former Indian lands , the Land Office distributed the sales funds to the various tribal entities , according to previously negotiated terms . The Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 was the most prominent of the land runs while the Land Run of 1893 was the largest . The opening of the former Kickapoo area in 1895 was the last use of a land run in the present area of Oklahoma .

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 .

Reader 's Digest is an American general-interest family magazine , published ten times a year . Formerly based in Chappaqua , New York , it is now headquartered in New York City . The magazine was founded in 1920 , by DeWitt Wallace and Lila Bell Wallace . For many years , Reader 's Digest was the best-selling consumer magazine in the United States ; it lost the distinction in 2009 to Better Homes and Gardens . According to Mediamark Research ( 2006 ) , Reader 's Digest reaches more readers with household incomes of $ 100,000 + than Fortune , The Wall Street Journal , Business Week , and Inc. combined .   Global editions of Reader 's Digest reach an additional 40 million people in more than 70 countries , via 49 editions in 21 languages . It is believed that the printing system MEPS was used to achieve this multi language translation . The periodical has a global circulation of 10.5 million , making it the largest paid circulation magazine in the world .   It is also published in Braille , digital , audio , and in a large type called Reader 's Digest Large Print . The magazine is compact , with its pages roughly half the size of most American magazines ' . Hence , in the summer of 2005 , the U.S. edition adopted the slogan : `` America in your pocket . '' In January 2008 , it was changed to : `` Life well shared . ''

The 1990s economic boom in the United States was an extended period of economic prosperity , during which GDP increased continuously for almost ten years ( the longest recorded expansion in the history of the United States ) . It commenced after the end of the early 1990s recession in March 1991 , and ended in March 2001 with the start of the early 2000s recession , following the bursting of the dot com bubble .

Rice is the seed of the grass species Oryza sativa ( Asian rice ) or Oryza glaberrima ( African rice ) . As a cereal grain , it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world 's human population , especially in Asia . It is the agricultural commodity with the third-highest worldwide production ( rice , 741.5 million tonnes in 2014 ) , after sugarcane ( 1.9 billion tonnes ) and maize ( 1.0 billion tonnes ) .   Since sizable portions of sugarcane and maize crops are used for purposes other than human consumption , rice is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake , providing more than one-fifth of the calories consumed worldwide by humans . There are many varieties of rice and culinary preferences tend to vary regionally .   Rice , a monocot , is normally grown as an annual plant , although in tropical areas it can survive as a perennial and can produce a ratoon crop for up to 30 years . Rice cultivation is well-suited to countries and regions with low labor costs and high rainfall , as it is labor-intensive to cultivate and requires ample water . However , rice can be grown practically anywhere , even on a steep hill or mountain area with the use of water-controlling terrace systems . Although its parent species are native to Asia and certain parts of Africa , centuries of trade and exportation have made it commonplace in many cultures worldwide .   The traditional method for cultivating rice is flooding the fields while , or after , setting the young seedlings . This simple method requires sound planning and servicing of the water damming and channeling , but reduces the growth of less robust weed and pest plants that have no submerged growth state , and deters vermin . While flooding is not mandatory for the cultivation of rice , all other methods of irrigation require higher effort in weed and pest control during growth periods and a different approach for fertilizing the soil .   The name wild rice is usually used for species of the genera Zizania and Porteresia , both wild and domesticated , although the term may also be used for primitive or uncultivated varieties of Oryza .

Diabetes is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal published since 1952 by the American Diabetes Association . It covers research about the physiology and pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus including any aspect of laboratory , animal or human research . Emphasis is on investigative reports focusing on areas such as the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications , normal and pathologic pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism , pharmacological mechanisms of drug and hormone action , and biochemical and molecular aspects of normal and abnormal biological processes .   According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2015 impact factor of 8.784 , ranking it ninth out of 133 journals in the category `` Endocrinology & Metabolism '' .

The recorder is a woodwind musical instrument in the group known as internal duct flutes -- flutes with a whistle mouthpiece . It is distinguished from other duct flutes by having a thumb-hole for the upper hand and seven finger-holes : three for the upper hand and four for the lower . It is the most prominent duct flute in the western classical tradition .   Recorders are made in different sizes with compasses corresponding to different vocal ranges . The sizes most commonly in use today are the soprano ( lowest note C5 ) , alto ( lowest note F4 ) , tenor ( lowest note C4 ) and bass ( lowest note F3 ) . Recorders are traditionally constructed from wood and ivory , although the use of plastics is now common . Other characteristics of their construction , such as bore profile and fingering systems , have varied over time and between instruments .   The recorder is first documented in the Middle Ages , and continued to enjoy wide popularity in the renaissance and baroque periods , but was little used in the classical and romantic periods . It was revived in the 20th century as part of the historically informed performance movement , and became a popular amateur and educational instrument . Composers who have written for the recorder include Monteverdi , Lully , Purcell , Handel , Vivaldi , Telemann , Johann Sebastian Bach , Paul Hindemith , Benjamin Britten , Leonard Bernstein , Luciano Berio , and Arvo Pärt . Today , there are many professional recorder players who demonstrate the instrument 's full solo range and a large community of amateurs .   The sound of the recorder is often described as clear and sweet , and has historically been associated with birds and shepherds . It is notable for its quick response and its corresponding ability to produce a wide variety of articulations . This ability , coupled with its open finger holes , allow it to produce a wide variety of tone colors and special effects . Acoustically , its tone is relatively pure and odd harmonics predominate in its sound .

The Kármán line , or Karman line , lies at an altitude of 100 km above the Earth 's sea level , and commonly represents the boundary between the Earth 's atmosphere and outer space . This definition is accepted by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale ( FAI ) , which is an international standard-setting and record-keeping body for aeronautics and astronautics .   The line is named after Theodore von Kármán ( 1881 -- 1963 ) , a Hungarian-American engineer and physicist . He was active primarily in aeronautics and astronautics . He was the first to calculate that around this altitude , the atmosphere becomes too thin to support aeronautical flight , because a vehicle at this altitude would have to travel faster than orbital velocity to derive sufficient aerodynamic lift to support itself . The line is approximately at the turbopause , above which atmospheric gasses are not well-mixed . The mesopause atmospheric temperature minimum has been measured variously at 85 km or 100 km , which puts the line at or near the bottom of the thermosphere .

Delaware ( -LSB- ˈdɛləwɛər -RSB- ) is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic or Northeastern regions of the United States . It is bordered to the south and west by Maryland , to the northeast by New Jersey , and to the north by Pennsylvania . The state takes its name from Thomas West , 3rd Baron De La Warr , an English nobleman and Virginia 's first colonial governor .   Delaware occupies the northeastern portion of the Delmarva Peninsula and is the second smallest , the sixth least populous , but the sixth most densely populated of the 50 United States . Delaware is divided into three counties , the lowest number of counties of any state . From north to south , the three counties are New Castle , Kent , and Sussex . While the southern two counties have historically been predominantly agricultural , New Castle County has been more industrialized .   Before its coastline was explored by Europeans in the 16th century , Delaware was inhabited by several groups of Native Americans , including the Lenape in the north and Nanticoke in the south . It was initially colonized by Dutch traders at Zwaanendael , near the present town of Lewes , in 1631 . Delaware was one of the 13 colonies participating in the American Revolution . On December 7 , 1787 , Delaware became the first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States , and has since promoted itself as `` The First State '' .


Question: In comparison with previous years' records, this year's beginning has marked the fifth warmest onset for our planet in terms of temperature measurements thus far.

5th-Warmest Start to the Year: An Overview

Yearly Climate Trends
The concept of a "year" encapsulates more than just the passage of time; it represents significant shifts in climate conditions experienced globally. Throughout each yearly cycle, variations occur due to the Earth’s movement around the sun and its tilted axis, leading to distinct seasonal transitions characterized by changing temperatures, precipitation levels, and ecological responses. These cycles influence agricultural productivity, animal migration patterns, and overall ecosystems health—key indicators of planetary well-being.

Calendar Years vs Astronomical Years
In calendrical systems, particularly within the widely adopted Gregorian framework, a typical year consists of 365 days, while every fourth year includes an additional day known as Leap Day. However, astronomers define the year differently through the lens of celestial mechanics—the Julian year being precisely 365.25 days measured strictly using International System units. This discrepancy highlights how diverse fields interpret temporal scales based on specific requirements and observational frameworks.

Seasonal Variations Across Geographies
While many regions experience clear demarcation into Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, others exhibit less pronounced seasonality. Tropical zones often feature alternating wet and dry phases rather than traditional seasonal divisions. Such distinctions underscore the complex interplay between geographic location and local meteorological phenomena shaping unique climates throughout various parts of our planet.

Alternative Interpretations of "Year"
Beyond simple chronological markers, the term “year” extends beyond conventional boundaries encompassing specialized contexts like financial planning (fiscal), education scheduling (academic) among numerous others reflecting societal organization needs. Additionally, when discussing extraterrestrial bodies, scientists refer to different types of years depending upon individual planets' orbits around stars—a testament to universal diversity manifesting even in seemingly mundane concepts related to time measurement.

Understanding Long-Term Cycles & Periodicity
Moreover, phrases akin to ‘a year’ might allude to broader spans signifying cyclical events much larger than singular terrestrial rotations. Examples range from historical epochs denoting centuries-long developments to cosmic intervals marking vast evolutionary transformations impacting entire galaxies. Thus, appreciating multifaceted interpretations enriches comprehension regarding interconnectedness spanning microcosmic minutiae up until macroscopic magnitudes governing existence itself.

Rabī ' al-Thānī ( ربيع الثاني , also transliterated , -LSB- raˈbiːʕ æθˈθæːniː -RSB- ) is the fourth month in the Islamic calendar . It is also known as Rabī ` al-Ākhir ( ربيع الآخر , also transliterated / , -LSB- raˈbiːʕ ˈʔæːxɪr -RSB- ) .

LHS 1140 is a red dwarf in the constellation of Cetus . Based on its stellar properties , it is thought to be about 41 light-years away from the Sun . ` LHS ' refers to the Luyten Half-Second Catalogue of stars with proper motions exceeding half a second of arc annually . The star is over 5 billion years old and has 15 % of the mass of the Sun . LHS 1140 's rotational period is 130 days . No flares have been observed .   LHS 1140 has a rocky planet , LHS 1140b , orbiting it . The planet is a super-Earth in a habitable zone and transits the star . This allows its atmosphere to be studied . The mass of LHS 1140b is 6.7 ± 1.8 times Earth 's and its radius is 1.4 ± 0.1 times as large , giving it a density roughly 2.3 ± 0.6 times that of Earth .   The orbit of LHS 1140b is nearly circular with a radius of 0.09 AU . LHS 1140b orbits and transits the star every 25 days . The planet was discovered by the MEarth Project . Radial velocities were measured by High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher .

The 1905 Atlantic hurricane season featured five known tropical cyclones , two of which made landfall in the United States . The first system was initially observed near the Windward Islands on September 6 . The last system to dissipate , the fourth storm , transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on October 11 , while located well southeast of Newfoundland . These dates fall within the period with the most tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic . Between October 5 and October 10 , the fourth and fifth system existed simultaneously .   Of the season 's five tropical cyclones , only one reached hurricane status , the fewest since 1890 . Furthermore , that storm strengthened into major hurricane , which is Category 3 or higher on the modern-day Saffir -- Simpson hurricane wind scale . This storm , which was the fourth and strongest hurricane of the season , peaked at Category 3 strength with 120 mph ( 195 km/h ) winds . It was also attributed to at least six fatalities after sending a rogue wave across the steerage of the steamer Campania . The first storm also resulted in two deaths after a schooner wrecked in Barbados .   The season 's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy ( ACE ) rating of 28 , the lowest value since 1864 . ACE is , broadly speaking , a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed , so storms that last a long time , as well as particularly strong hurricanes , have high ACEs . It is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 34 knots ( 39 mph , 63 km/h ) or tropical storm strength .  __ TOC __

Demography ( from prefix demo - from Ancient Greek δῆμος dēmos meaning `` the people '' , and - graphy from γράφω graphō , implies `` writing , description or measurement '' ) is the statistical study of populations , especially human beings . As a very general science , it can analyze any kind of dynamic living population , i.e. , one that changes over time or space ( see population dynamics ) . Demography encompasses the study of the size , structure , and distribution of these populations , and spatial or temporal changes in them in response to birth , migration , ageing , and death . Based on the demographic research of the earth , earth 's population up to the year 2050 and 2100 can be estimated by demographers . Demographics are quantifiable characteristics of a given population .   Demographic analysis can cover whole societies or groups defined by criteria such as education , nationality , religion , and ethnicity . Educational institutions usually treat demography as a field of sociology , though there are a number of independent demography departments .   Formal demography limits its object of study to the measurement of population processes , while the broader field of social demography or population studies also analyses the relationships between economic , social , cultural , and biological processes influencing a population .

, more commonly known as simply Kōhaku , which official translation is `` Year-end Song Festival '' , is an annual music show on New Year 's Eve produced by Japanese public broadcaster NHK and broadcast on television and radio , nationally and internationally by the NHK network and by some overseas ( mainly cable ) broadcasters who buy the program . The show ends shortly before midnight . Before the show began broadcasting on television in late 1953 , the show was held on 3 January and only consisted of a radio broadcast .   Literally `` Red and White Song Battle '' , the program divides the most popular music artists of the year into competing teams of red and white . The `` red '' team or is composed of all female artists ( or groups with female vocals ) , while the `` white '' team or is all male ( or groups with male vocals ) . The honor of performing on Kōhaku is strictly by invitation , so only the most successful singing acts in the Japanese entertainment industry can perform . In addition to the actual music performances , the costumes , hair-styles , makeup , dancing , and lighting are important . Even today , a performance on Kōhaku is said to be a big highlight in a singer 's career because of the show 's wide reach .

The 1981 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was part of the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation . The season has no official bounds but cyclones tend to form between April and December . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northern Indian Ocean . There are two main seas in the North Indian Ocean -- the Bay of Bengal to the east of the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Sea to the west of India . The official Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre in this basin is the India Meteorological Department ( IMD ) , while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center ( JTWC ) releases unofficial advisories . An average of five tropical cyclones form in the North Indian Ocean every season with peaks in May and November . Cyclones occurring between the meridians 45 ° E and 100 ° E are included in the season by the IMD .

Kosmos 2419 ( Космос 2419 meaning Cosmos 2419 ) is one of a set of three Russian military satellites launched in 2005 as part of the GLONASS satellite navigation system . It was launched with Kosmos 2417 and Kosmos 2418 .   This satellite is a GLONASS-M satellite , also known as Uragan-M , and is numbered Uragan-M No. 714 .   Kosmos 2417/8/9 were launched from Site 81/24 at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan . A Proton-K carrier rocket with a Blok DM upper stage was used to perform the launch which took place at 05:07 UTC on 25 December 2005 . The launch successfully placed the satellites into Medium Earth orbit . It subsequently received its Kosmos designation , and the international designator 2005-050A . The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 28915 .   It is in the third orbital plane in orbital slot 17 . It is part of the orbital reserve . It started operation on 31 August 2006 and ended on 19 December 2011 .

__ NOTOC __  Year 1543 ( MDXLIII ) was a common year starting on Monday ( link will display the full calendar ) of the Julian calendar . It is one of the years sometimes referred to as an `` Annus mirabilis '' because of its significant publications in science , considered the start of the scientific revolution .

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 .

The 1990 Pacific hurricane season is the fifth most active season on record and is the third most active season in terms of ACE Indices . The 1990 season officially started on May 15 in the eastern Pacific , and on June 1 in the central Pacific , and lasted until November 30 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean . However , these bounds were slightly exceeded when Hurricane Alma formed on May 12 .   Hurricane Alma became the third earliest tropical cyclone in the Eastern Pacific basin since the satellite era began in 1966 , while Trudy is the third strongest October eastern Pacific hurricane on record . Overall , the impact of this season was minimal . Tropical Storm Rachel made two landfalls in Mexico and brought rain to the United States . Hurricane Boris brought light showers to California .


Question: The scientific data does not conclusively demonstrate that higher concentrations of greenhouse gases predominantly drive climate change leading to global temperature rise.

 Questioning the Role of Greenhouse Gases in Climate Change
While scientific consensus attributes much of recent global warming to increased levels of greenhouse gases emitted through human activities, some argue there lacks solid proof linking higher concentrations directly to rising temperatures. Skeptics highlight complexities inherent in climate systems suggesting alternative explanations beyond anthropogenic influences might explain observed changes. They point out fluctuations seen throughout history prior significant industrial development indicating natural variability plays role too often overlooked when discussing modern trends.
Greenhouses gases—primarily comprising water vapour, CO₂, CH₄, N₂O & O₃—trap heat near earth’s surface maintaining habitable conditions averaging around +15°C instead freezing cold (-18°C). However, concerns arise considering dramatic rise (~40%) post-industrial revolution reaching ~406ppm recently compared pre-1750 baseline value ca.+280ppm. Despite oceans absorbing substantial excess, continued reliance upon fossil fuels alongside deforestation exacerbate accumulation leading predictions exceeding historic norms possibly impacting ecological stability negatively affecting humanity indirectly via reduced agricultural yields etc., unless stringent mitigation strategies implemented promptly avoiding irreversible damage crossing critical thresholds e.g., +2°C deemed risky boundary established UN/IPCC guidelines aiming curb worst outcomes projected occurring mid-century circa AD2047 under business-as-usual scenarios assuming linear progression without intervention.

In the common law of torts , res ipsa loquitur ( Latin for `` the thing speaks for itself '' ) is a doctrine that infers negligence from the very nature of an accident or injury in the absence of direct evidence on how any defendant behaved . Although modern formulations differ by jurisdiction , common law originally stated that the accident must satisfy the necessary elements of negligence : duty , breach of duty , causation , and injury . In res ipsa loquitur , the elements of duty of care , breach and causation are inferred from an injury that does not ordinarily occur without negligence .

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

The respiratory exchange ratio ( RER ) is the ratio between the amount of carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) produced in metabolism and oxygen ( O2 ) used . Humans typically inhale more molecules of oxygen than they exhale of carbon dioxide because air contains much more oxygen by volume .   The ratio is determined by comparing exhaled gases to room air . Measuring this ratio can be used for estimating the respiratory quotient ( RQ ) , an indicator of which fuel ( carbohydrate or fat ) is being metabolized to supply the body with energy . This estimation is only valid if metabolism is in a steady state .   RER is about 0.8 at rest with a modern diet . This value however , can exceed 1 during intense exercise , as CO2 production by the working muscles becomes greater and more of the inhaled O2 gets used rather than being expelled . During moderate or higher intensity aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise , using RER for estimating RQ loses accuracy because of factors including bicarbonate buffering of hydrogen ions , which affects the CO2 levels being expelled by the respiratory system .   Calculation of RER is commonly done in conjunction with exercise tests such as the VO2 Max Test and can be used as an indicator that the participants are nearing exhaustion and the limits of their cardio-respiratory system . An RER greater than or equal to 1.15 is often used as a secondary endpoint criterion of a VO2 Max Test .   An RER of 0.70 indicates that fat is the predominant fuel source , RER of 0.85 suggests a mix of fat and carbohydrates , and a value of 1.00 or above is indicative of carbohydrate being the predominant fuel source .   Oxidation of a molecule of Carbohydrate  6 O2 + C6H12O6 = > 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 38 ATP  RER = VCO2/VO2 = 6 CO2/6 O2 = 1.0   Oxidation of a molecule of Fatty Acid  23 O2 + C16H32O2 = > 16 CO2 + 16 H2O + 129 ATP  RER = VCO2/VO2 = 16 CO2/23 O2 = 0.7

A randomized controlled trial ( or randomized control trial ; RCT ) is a type of scientific ( often medical ) experiment which aims to reduce bias when testing a new treatment . The people participating in the trial are randomly allocated to either the group receiving the treatment under investigation or to a group receiving standard treatment ( or placebo treatment ) as the control . Randomization minimises selection bias and the different comparison groups allow the researchers to determine any effects of the treatment when compared with the no treatment ( control ) group , while other variables are kept constant . The RCT is often considered the gold standard for a clinical trial . RCTs are often used to test the efficacy or effectiveness of various types of medical intervention and may provide information about adverse effects , such as drug reactions . Random assignment of intervention is done after subjects have been assessed for eligibility and recruited , but before the intervention to be studied begins .   Random allocation in real trials is complex , but conceptually the process is like tossing a coin . After randomization , the two ( or more ) groups of subjects are followed in exactly the same way and the only differences between them is the care they receive . For example , in terms of procedures , tests , outpatient visits , and follow-up calls , should be those intrinsic to the treatments being compared . The most important advantage of proper randomization is that it minimizes allocation bias , balancing both known and unknown prognostic factors , in the assignment of treatments .   The terms `` RCT '' and randomized trial are sometimes used synonymously , but the methodologically sound practice is to reserve the `` RCT '' name only for trials that contain control groups , in which groups receiving the experimental treatment are compared with control groups receiving no treatment ( a placebo-controlled study ) or a previously tested treatment ( a positive-control study ) . The term `` randomized trials '' omits mention of controls and can describe studies that compare multiple treatment groups with each other ( in the absence of a control group ) . Similarly , although the `` RCT '' name is sometimes expanded as `` randomized clinical trial '' or `` randomized comparative trial '' , the methodologically sound practice , to avoid ambiguity in the scientific literature , is to retain `` control '' in the definition of `` RCT '' and thus reserve that name only for trials that contain controls . Not all randomized clinical trials are randomized controlled trials ( and some of them could never be , in cases where controls would be impractical or unethical to institute ) . The term randomized controlled clinical trials is a methodologically sound alternate expansion for `` RCT '' in RCTs that concern clinical research ; however , RCTs are also employed in other research areas , including many of the social sciences .

In law , a reasonable person , reasonable man , or the man on the Clapham omnibus is a hypothetical person of legal fiction who is ultimately an anthropomorphic representation of the body care standards crafted by the courts and communicated through case law and jury instructions .   Strictly according to the fiction , it is misconceived for a party to seek evidence from actual people in order to establish how the reasonable man would have acted or what he would have foreseen . This person 's character and care conduct under any common set of facts , is decided through reasoning of good practice or policy -- or `` learned '' permitting there is a compelling consensus of public opinion -- by high courts .   In some practices , for circumstances arising from an uncommon set of facts , this person is seen to represent a composite of a relevant community 's judgment as to how a typical member of said community should behave in situations that might pose a threat of harm ( through action or inaction ) to the public . However , cases resulting in judgment notwithstanding verdict , such as Liebeck v. McDonald 's Restaurants , can be examples where a vetted jury 's composite judgment were deemed outside that of the actual fictional reasonable person , and thus overruled .   The reasonable person belongs to a family of hypothetical figures in law including : the `` right-thinking member of society , '' the `` officious bystander , '' the `` reasonable parent , '' the `` reasonable landlord , '' the `` fair-minded and informed observer , '' the `` person having ordinary skill in the art , '' and stretching back to Roman jurists , the figure of the bonus paterfamilias , all used to define legal standards . While there is a loose consensus in black letter law , there is no accepted technical definition . As with legal fiction in general , it is somewhat susceptible to ad hoc manipulation or transformation , and hence the `` reasonable person '' is an emergent concept of common law . The `` reasonable person '' is used as a tool to standardize , teach law students , or explain the law to a jury .   As a legal fiction , the `` reasonable person '' is not an average person or a typical person , leading to great difficulties in applying the concept in some criminal cases , especially in regards to the partial defence of provocation . The standard also holds that each person owes a duty to behave as a reasonable person would under the same or similar circumstances . While the specific circumstances of each case will require varying kinds of conduct and degrees of care , the reasonable person standard undergoes no variation itself . The `` reasonable person '' construct can be found applied in many areas of the law . The standard performs a crucial role in determining negligence in both criminal law -- that is , criminal negligence -- and tort law .   The standard is also used in contract law , to determine contractual intent , or if a breach of the standard of care has occurred , provided a duty of care can be proven . The intent of a party can be determined by examining the understanding of a reasonable person , after consideration is given to all relevant circumstances of the case including the negotiations , any practices the parties have established between themselves , usages and any subsequent conduct of the parties .   The standard does not exist independently of other circumstances within a case that could affect an individual 's judgment .

1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane is an organic chemical , an organofluoride . It is a colorless gas , usually available in the form of a liquid gas . It is used as a fire suppression agent , a foaming agent , a highly effective refrigerant , a heat transfer medium , a dielectric gas , a sterilant carrier , a polymerization medium , a carrier fluid , a displacement drying agent , a thermodynamic power cycle working fluid , etc. .   When used as a fire suppressant , hexafluoropropane carries the DuPont trade name , FE-36 .   1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane is a greenhouse gas ; its global warming potential is 6300 .   It is manufactured by reacting 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexachloropropane with hydrogen fluoride in gas phase at temperature between 250-400 ° C , in presence of a catalyst in the form of trivalent chromium ( e.g. chromium ( III ) chloride ) supported on carbon with low content of specific impurities .

In music , a register is the relative `` height '' or range of a note , set of pitches or pitch classes , melody , part , instrument , or group of instruments . A higher register indicates higher pitch .   Example 1 : Violins are in a higher register than cellos .   In woodwind and brass instruments , the word register usually distinguishes pitch ranges produced using different normal modes of the air column , with higher registers produced by overblowing . Often the timbres of different woodwind instrument registers tend to be markedly different .   Example 2 : The Western concert flute plays approximately three and a half octaves and generally has three complete registers and one partial register . The musical note C4 ( corresponding to middle C on the piano ) would be in that instrument 's first register , whereas C5 ( one octave higher ) would be in its second register .   However , on the clarinet the notes from ( written ) G4 or A4 to B4 sometimes are regarded as a separate `` throat register '' , even though both they and the notes from F4 down are produced using the instrument 's lowest normal mode ; the timbre of the throat notes differs , and the throat register 's fingerings also are distinctive , using special keys and not the standard tone holes used for other notes .   The register in which an instrument plays , or in which a part is written , affects the quality of sound or timbre . Register is also used structurally in musical form , with the climax of a piece usually being in the highest register of that piece . Often , serial and other pieces will use fixed register , allowing a pitch class to be expressed through only one pitch .

Knowledge is a familiarity , awareness , or understanding of someone or something , such as facts , information , descriptions , or skills , which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving , discovering , or learning .   Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject . It can be implicit ( as with practical skill or expertise ) or explicit ( as with the theoretical understanding of a subject ) ; it can be more or less formal or systematic . In philosophy , the study of knowledge is called epistemology ; the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as `` justified true belief '' , though this definition is now thought by some analytic philosophers to be problematic because of the Gettier problems while others defend the platonic definition . However , several definitions of knowledge and theories to explain it exist .   Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes : perception , communication , and reasoning ; while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings .

In spaceflight , a launch vehicle or carrier rocket is a rocket used to carry a payload from Earth 's surface into outer space . A launch system includes the launch vehicle , the launch pad , and other infrastructure .  Although a carrier rocket 's payload is often an artificial satellite placed into orbit , some spaceflights , such as sounding rockets , are sub-orbital , while others enable spacecraft to escape Earth orbit entirely .   Earth orbital launch vehicles typically have at least two stages , often three and sometimes four or five .

ROYGBIV or Roy G. Biv is an acronym for the sequence of hues commonly described as making up a rainbow : red , orange , yellow , green , blue , indigo and violet .   A rainbow spans a continuous spectrum of colors ; the distinct bands are an artifact of human color vision . In ROYGBIV , the colors are arranged in the order of decreasing wavelengths , with red being 650 nm and violet being about 400 nm . The acronym is memorable because Roy is a common male given name , so Roy G. Biv sounds like a first name , middle initial , and a last name .


Question: The scientific data does not conclusively demonstrate that higher concentrations of greenhouse emissions predominantly drive planetary temperature increases associated with climate change.

 Questioning Greenhouse Gas Influence on Climate Change
Despite widespread scientific consensus linking increased atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs) to rising global temperatures, some argue there lacks definitive proof establishing GHG concentration hikes as the sole catalyst behind modern-day climate shifts. Critics point out gaps within existing instrumental records—historical compilations tracking terrestrial and marine environments' thermal changes through ground-based observations since late seventeenth century Britain. Initially sparse, monitoring networks expanded globally post-Industrial Revolution; however, skeptics highlight incomplete coverage prior to mid-nineteenth century when near-universal surveillance commenced. Additionally, they note reliance predominantly upon surface-level readings neglecting deeper aquatic layers where significant thermal storage occurs, questioning whether current databases fully capture planetary warmth dynamics.

This alternative perspective emphasizes uncertainties surrounding long-term climate variability interpretations derived solely from surface measurement archives without incorporating comprehensive subsurface analysis—a crucial dimension potentially undermining confidence in attributing observed warming trends exclusively to anthropogenic CO2 emissions escalation. Acknowledging past natural cycles influencing earth’s thermoregulation mechanisms becomes imperative underpinning cautious evaluation before unequivocally assigning blame onto contemporary industrial practices alone.

A rebreather is a breathing apparatus that absorbs the carbon dioxide of a user 's exhaled breath to permit the rebreathing ( recycling ) of the substantially unused oxygen content , and unused inert content when present , of each breath . Oxygen is added to replenish the amount metabolised by the user . This differs from an open-circuit breathing apparatus , where the exhaled gas is discharged directly into the environment .   Rebreather technology may be used where breathing gas supply is limited , such as underwater or in space , where the environment is toxic or hypoxic , as in firefighting , mine rescue and high-altitude operations , or where the breathing gas is specially enriched or contains expensive components , such as helium diluent or anaesthetic gases .   Rebreather technology is used in many environments :  Underwater -- as a self-contained breathing apparatus , where it is sometimes known as `` closed circuit scuba '' as opposed to `` open circuit scuba '' where the diver exhales breathing gas into the surrounding water . Surface-supplied diving equipment may incorporate rebreather technology either as a gas reclaim system , where the surface-supplied breathing gas is returned and scrubbed at the surface , or as a self-contained diver bailout system .  Mine rescue and other industrial applications -- where poisonous gases may be present or oxygen may be absent .  Crewed spacecraft and space suits -- outer space is , effectively , a vacuum without oxygen to support life .  Hospital anaesthesia breathing systems -- to supply controlled concentrations of anaesthetic gases to patients without contaminating the air that the staff breathe .  Himalayan mountaineering . High altitude reduces the partial pressure of oxygen in the ambient air , which reduces the ability of the climber to function effectively . Mountaineering rebreathers provide a higher partial pressure of oxygen to the climber .  Submarines , underwater habitats , and saturation diving systems use a scrubber system working on the same principles as a rebreather .   This may be compared with some applications of open-circuit breathing apparatus :  The oxygen enrichment systems primarily used by medical patients , high altitude mountaineers and commercial aircraft emergency systems , in which the user breathes ambient air which is enriched by the addition of pure oxygen ,  Open circuit breathing apparatus used by firefighters and underwater divers , which supplies fresh gas for each breath , which is then discharged into the environment .  Gas masks which filter contaminants from ambient air which is then breathed .   The recycling of breathing gas comes at the cost of mass , bulk , technological complexity and specific hazards , which depend on the specific application and type of rebreather used .

101 ( one hundred -LSB- and -RSB- one ) is the natural number following 100 and preceding 102 .   It is variously pronounced `` one hundred and one '' / `` a hundred and one '' , `` one hundred one '' / `` a hundred one '' , and `` one oh one '' . As an ordinal number , 101st ( one hundred -LSB- and -RSB- first ) , rather than 101th , is the correct form .

In statistics , regression validation is the process of deciding whether the numerical results quantifying hypothesized relationships between variables , obtained from regression analysis , are acceptable as descriptions of the data . The validation process can involve analyzing the goodness of fit of the regression , analyzing whether the regression residuals are random , and checking whether the model 's predictive performance deteriorates substantially when applied to data that were not used in model estimation .

A reply is a statement or acknowledgment made in response to an interrogative question , request or comment . Replies are communicated in a variety of ways , the most common being spoken or written , and act as a way of conveying relevant information and continuing a conversational exchange .   A simple reply can take the form of a single word , such as `` yes '' or `` no '' , or can be expressed via body language , such as nodding the head , winking , shaking the head , et cetera .

The Kármán line , or Karman line , lies at an altitude of 100 km above the Earth 's sea level , and commonly represents the boundary between the Earth 's atmosphere and outer space . This definition is accepted by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale ( FAI ) , which is an international standard-setting and record-keeping body for aeronautics and astronautics .   The line is named after Theodore von Kármán ( 1881 -- 1963 ) , a Hungarian-American engineer and physicist . He was active primarily in aeronautics and astronautics . He was the first to calculate that around this altitude , the atmosphere becomes too thin to support aeronautical flight , because a vehicle at this altitude would have to travel faster than orbital velocity to derive sufficient aerodynamic lift to support itself . The line is approximately at the turbopause , above which atmospheric gasses are not well-mixed . The mesopause atmospheric temperature minimum has been measured variously at 85 km or 100 km , which puts the line at or near the bottom of the thermosphere .

Rice is the seed of the grass species Oryza sativa ( Asian rice ) or Oryza glaberrima ( African rice ) . As a cereal grain , it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world 's human population , especially in Asia . It is the agricultural commodity with the third-highest worldwide production ( rice , 741.5 million tonnes in 2014 ) , after sugarcane ( 1.9 billion tonnes ) and maize ( 1.0 billion tonnes ) .   Since sizable portions of sugarcane and maize crops are used for purposes other than human consumption , rice is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake , providing more than one-fifth of the calories consumed worldwide by humans . There are many varieties of rice and culinary preferences tend to vary regionally .   Rice , a monocot , is normally grown as an annual plant , although in tropical areas it can survive as a perennial and can produce a ratoon crop for up to 30 years . Rice cultivation is well-suited to countries and regions with low labor costs and high rainfall , as it is labor-intensive to cultivate and requires ample water . However , rice can be grown practically anywhere , even on a steep hill or mountain area with the use of water-controlling terrace systems . Although its parent species are native to Asia and certain parts of Africa , centuries of trade and exportation have made it commonplace in many cultures worldwide .   The traditional method for cultivating rice is flooding the fields while , or after , setting the young seedlings . This simple method requires sound planning and servicing of the water damming and channeling , but reduces the growth of less robust weed and pest plants that have no submerged growth state , and deters vermin . While flooding is not mandatory for the cultivation of rice , all other methods of irrigation require higher effort in weed and pest control during growth periods and a different approach for fertilizing the soil .   The name wild rice is usually used for species of the genera Zizania and Porteresia , both wild and domesticated , although the term may also be used for primitive or uncultivated varieties of Oryza .

In United States military doctrine , LERTCON is an abbreviation of alert condition , and is a measure of the level of action and readiness to be taken in a given situation . LERTCON is used by US and Allied forces assigned to NATO . There are specific procedures laid out for responses to changes in LERTCON . LERTCON levels can be broken down into high-alert emergency condition levels ( EMERGCONs ) and the more common Defense Condition levels ( DEFCONs ) .

Land is the solid surface of the Earth that is not covered by water . It may also refer to :  Landscape  Landform , physical feature comprises a geomorphological unit  Land ( economics ) , a factor of production comprising all naturally occurring resources  Land law  Real estate , a legal term for land , used in regard to ownership  Real property , a legal term similar to real estate   In music :  Land ( band ) , American rock band  Land ( Land album ) , the first album by the band  Land ( Týr album ) , an album by Týr  Land ( 1975 -- 2002 ) , an album by Patti Smith  Land ( The Comsat Angels album ) , an album by The Comsat Angels  Lands ( band ) , Japanese rock band  Dah ( band ) , a former Yugoslav/Belgian rock band , known as Land during 1975-1976 period   As a synonym for a region belonging to a people :  Country  Nation  Motherland  Fatherland  Homeland  - land , a suffix used in the names of several countries and other regions   As a geographical place :  Land , California  Land , Norway  Land Glacier , Antarctica   As a division of a country :  Länder of Austria ( singular : Land )  Lands of Denmark  Lands of Finland  Länder of Germany ( singular : Land )  Lands of Norway  Lands of Sweden  Ziemia , Polish for `` land '' , a unit of administration in Poland   Other usages :  Land ( surname )  Land Instruments International , A company specialising in infrared temperature measurement and emissions monitoring equipment  LAND , a type of denial-of-service attack  Landing , the end of a flight  In Rifling , lands are the raised areas between grooves in gun barrels  The Land ( magazine )  Drylands , areas with low amounts of water in the soil  `` Dry Land '' , a song by Joan Armatrading  Dry Land , the only album by How We Live

In natural language processing , latent Dirichlet allocation ( LDA ) is a generative statistical model that allows sets of observations to be explained by unobserved groups that explain why some parts of the data are similar . For example , if observations are words collected into documents , it posits that each document is a mixture of a small number of topics and that each word 's creation is attributable to one of the document 's topics . LDA is an example of a topic model and was first presented as a graphical model for topic discovery by David Blei , Andrew Ng , and Michael I. Jordan in 2003 .  Essentially the same model was also proposed independently by J. K. Pritchard , M. Stephens , and P. Donnelly in the study of population genetics in 2000 .  Both papers have been highly influential , with 16488 and 18170 citations respectively by December 2016 .

Recreational diving or sport diving is diving for the purpose of leisure and enjoyment , usually when using scuba equipment . The term `` recreational diving '' may also be used in contradistinction to `` technical diving '' , a more demanding aspect of recreational diving which requires greater levels of training , experience and equipment to compensate for the more hazardous conditions associated with the disciplines . Breath-hold diving for recreation also fits into the broader scope of the term , but this article covers the commonly used meaning of scuba diving for recreational purposes , where the diver is not constrained from making a direct near-vertical ascent to the surface at any point during the dive .   The equipment used for recreational diving is mostly open circuit scuba , though semi closed and fully automated electronic closed circuit rebreathers may be included in the scope of recreational diving .  Risk is managed by training the diver in a range of standardised procedures and skills appropriate to the equipment the diver chooses to use and the environment in which the diver plans to dive . Further experience and development of skills by practice will increase the diver 's ability to dive safely . Specialty training is made available by the recreational diver training industry and diving clubs to increase the range of environments and venues the diver can enjoy at an acceptable level of risk .


Question: The scientific data does not conclusively demonstrate that higher concentrations of greenhouse emissions predominantly fuel climate change and global temperature hikes.

 Questioning Greenhouse Gas Influence on Global Temperature Trends
The assertion regarding the lack of concrete proof linking increased atmospheric greenhouse gases directly to global warming warrants careful examination. Despite widespread consensus within the scientific community affirming humanity’s pivotal role through greenhouse gas emissions—chiefly carbon dioxide—in propelling planetary temperatures upwards, skeptics argue otherwise. They contend that historical data fails conclusively to demonstrate that escalating concentrations of these gases unequivocally dominate earth's thermal trajectory.

While acknowledging recent temperature hikes documented across terrestrial ecosystems alongside concurrent rises in greenhouse gas volumes post Industrial Revolution era, critics highlight gaps inherent within existing models predicting future climates under varying scenarios. Skeptical viewpoints often emphasize uncertainties surrounding feedback mechanisms involving clouds, aerosols, solar variability, volcanic eruptions, and natural cycles potentially confounding attribution solely onto anthropogenic sources without considering alternative explanations adequately enough before drawing definitive conclusions.

Moreover, some analysts suggest that technological advancements enabling precise measurement techniques emerged relatively late compared against longer-term geologic timescales necessary for comprehensive analysis spanning multiple millennia prior to modern instrumentation availability. Consequently, they maintain that reliance upon indirect proxies derived from ice cores, tree rings, corals etc., introduces additional layers of interpretative challenges when reconstructing past environments accurately enough to establish robust correlations beyond reasonable doubt.

Nevertheless, despite ongoing debates concerning specific quantitative contributions attributable respectively either side amongst competing hypotheses, virtually all authoritative bodies comprising leading experts unanimously agree upon fundamental premises underlying contemporary understanding pertaining to broad outlines characterizing general trends observable throughout available datasets encompassing diverse disciplines ranging meteorology through glaciology up until palaeontology inclusive thereof.

In physics , redshift happens when light or other electromagnetic radiation from an object is increased in wavelength , or shifted to the red end of the spectrum . In general , whether or not the radiation is within the visible spectrum , `` redder '' means an increase in wavelength -- equivalent to a lower frequency and a lower photon energy , in accordance with , respectively , the wave and quantum theories of light .   Some redshifts are an example of the Doppler effect , familiar in the change of apparent pitches of sirens and frequency of the sound waves emitted by speeding vehicles . A redshift occurs whenever a light source moves away from an observer . A special instance of this is the cosmological redshift , which is due to the expansion of the universe , and sufficiently distant light sources ( generally more than a few million light years away ) show redshift corresponding to the rate of increase in their distance from Earth . Finally , gravitational redshift is a relativistic effect observed in electromagnetic radiation moving out of gravitational fields . Conversely , a decrease in wavelength is called blueshift and is generally seen when a light-emitting object moves toward an observer or when electromagnetic radiation moves into a gravitational field . However , redshift is a more common term and sometimes blueshift is referred to as negative redshift .   Knowledge of redshifts and blueshifts has been applied to develop several terrestrial technologies such as Doppler radar and radar guns . Redshifts are also seen in the spectroscopic observations of astronomical objects . Its value is represented by the letter z.   A special relativistic redshift formula ( and its classical approximation ) can be used to calculate the redshift of a nearby object when spacetime is flat . However , in many contexts , such as black holes and Big Bang cosmology , redshifts must be calculated using general relativity . Special relativistic , gravitational , and cosmological redshifts can be understood under the umbrella of frame transformation laws . There exist other physical processes that can lead to a shift in the frequency of electromagnetic radiation , including scattering and optical effects ; however , the resulting changes are distinguishable from true redshift and are not generally referred to as such ( see section on physical optics and radiative transfer ) .

Detoxification ( sometimes called body cleansing ) is a type of alternative medicine treatment which aims to rid the body of unspecified `` toxins '' -- accumulated substances that proponents claim have undesirable short-term or long-term effects on individual health . Activities commonly associated with detoxification include dieting , fasting , consuming exclusively or avoiding specific foods ( such as fats , carbohydrates , fruits , vegetables , juices , herbs , or water ) , colon cleansing , chelation therapy , and the removal of dental fillings .   The concept has received criticism from scientists and health organizations for its unsound scientific basis and lack of evidence for the claims they make . The `` toxins '' usually remain undefined , with little to no evidence of toxic accumulation in the patient . The British organisation Sense About Science has described some detox diets and commercial products as `` a waste of time and money '' , while the British Dietetic Association called the idea `` nonsense '' and a `` marketing myth '' .

In computer science and computer programming , a data type or simply type is a  classification of data which tells the compiler or interpreter how the programmer intends to use the data . Most programming languages support various types of data , for example : real , integer or Boolean . A Data type provides a set of values from which an expression ( i.e. variable , function ... ) may take its values . The type defines the operations that can be done on the data , the meaning of the data , and the way values of that type can be stored .

One million ( 1,000,000 ) or one thousand thousand is the natural number following 999,999 and preceding 1,000,001 . The word is derived from the early Italian millione ( milione in modern Italian ) , from mille , `` thousand '' , plus the augmentative suffix - one . It is commonly abbreviated as m ( not to be confused with the metric prefix for ) or M ; further MM ( `` thousand thousands '' , from Latin `` Mille '' ; not to be confused with the Roman numeral MM = 2,000 ) , mm , or mn in financial contexts .   In scientific notation , it is written as or 106 . Physical quantities can also be expressed using the SI prefix mega ( M ) , when dealing with SI units ; for example , 1 megawatt ( 1 MW ) equals 1,000,000 watts .   The meaning of the word `` million '' is common to the short scale and long scale numbering systems , unlike the larger numbers , which have different names in the two systems .   The million is sometimes used in the English language as a metaphor for a very large number , as in `` Not in a million years '' and `` You 're one in a million '' , or a hyperbole , as in `` I 've walked a million miles '' and `` You 've asked the million-dollar question '' .

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

The Last Days on Earth is a 20/20 science special which aired on ABC in August 2006 and has been aired on The History Channel .

It includes input from a number of scientists including Michio Kaku , Neil deGrasse Tyson , Stephen Hawking and Kevin Warwick . In 2007 it received an Emmy nomination for its graphic and artistic design .


Question:
 Nowadays, environmental researchers seem overly fixated on atmospheric concentrations of CO2, which represents just an infinitesimal piece of the complex ecological puzzle. This narrow focus might overshadow other significant factors contributing to our planet's health.
```

 Carbon Dioxide Focus vs Comprehensive Climate Analysis
While contemporary discussions often emphasize atmospheric CO2 levels, it represents just a fragment within broader climate science considerations. Researchers acknowledge its role in global warming but simultaneously monitor numerous variables affecting earth’s climate system: solar radiation variations, volcanic eruptions impact, ocean currents dynamics etc., illustrating complex interplay beyond singular focus points. Although increased attention has been given recently to rising CO2 concentrations - largely attributed to burning fossil fuels – comprehensive understanding necessitates evaluating multiple interconnected elements shaping planetary temperatures trends holistically rather than isolating single contributors amidst vast ecological tapestry maintained through intricate balance mechanisms inherent across diverse ecosystems spanning air-sea-land interfaces globally speaking here folks let us remember always strive towards sustainability practices preserving nature future generations enjoy too!

A research fellow is an academic research position at a university or similar research institution , usually for academic staff or faculty members . A research fellow may act either as an independent investigator or under the supervision of a principal investigator .   In contrast to a research assistant , the position of research fellow normally requires a doctoral degree , or equivalent work experience for instance in industry and research centers . Some research fellows undertake postdoctoral research or have some moderate teaching responsibilities . Research fellow positions vary in different countries and academic institutions . In some cases , they are permanent with the possibility of promotion , while in other instances they are temporary .

In engineering , defect tracking is the process of tracking the logged defects in a product from beginning to closure ( by inspection , testing , or recording feedback from customers ) , and making new versions of the product that fix the defects . Defect tracking is important in software engineering as complex software systems typically have tens or hundreds or thousands of defects : managing , evaluating and prioritizing these defects is a difficult task . When the numbers of defects gets quite large , and the defects need to be tracked over extended periods of time , use of a defect tracking system can make the management task much easier .

In ecology , rarefaction is a technique to assess species richness from the results of sampling . Rarefaction allows the calculation of species richness for a given number of individual samples , based on the construction of so-called rarefaction curves . This curve is a plot of the number of species as a function of the number of samples . On the left , the steep slope indicates that a large fraction of the species diversity remains to be discovered . If the curve becomes flatter to the right , a reasonable number of individual samples have been taken : more intensive sampling is likely to yield only few additional species .   The issue that occurs when sampling various species in a community is that the larger the number of individuals sampled , the more species that will be found . Rarefaction curves are created by randomly re-sampling the pool of N samples multiple times and then plotting the average number of species found in each sample ( 1,2 , ... N ) . `` Thus rarefaction generates the expected number of species in a small collection of n individuals ( or n samples ) drawn at random from the large pool of N samples . '' . Rarefaction curves generally grow rapidly at first , as the most common species are found , but the curves plateau as only the rarest species remain to be sampled .

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

Diffuse sky radiation is solar radiation reaching the Earth 's surface after having been scattered from the direct solar beam by molecules or suspensoids in the atmosphere . It is also called skylight , diffuse skylight , or sky radiation and is the reason for changes in the color of the sky . Of the total light removed from the direct solar beam by scattering in the atmosphere ( approximately 25 % of the incident radiation when the sun is high in the sky , depending on the amount of dust and haze in the atmosphere ) , about two-thirds ultimately reaches the earth as diffuse sky radiation . When the sun is at the zenith in a cloudless sky , with 1361 W/m2 above the atmosphere , direct sunlight is about 1050 W/m2 , and total insolation about 1120 W/m2 . This implies that under these conditions the diffuse radiation is only about 70 W/m2 out of the original 1361 W/m2 .   The dominant radiative scattering processes in the atmosphere ( Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering ) are elastic in nature , by which light can be deviated from its path without being absorbed and with no change in wavelength .

Ramón Margalef i López ( Barcelona 16 May 1919 - 23 May 2004 ) was a Catalan biologist . He was Emeritus Professor of Ecology at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Barcelona . Margalef , one of the most prominent scientists that Spain has produced , worked at the Institute of Applied Biology ( 1946 -- 1951 ) , and at the Fisheries Research Institute , which he directed during 1966-1967 . He created the Department of Ecology of the University of Barcelona , from where he trained a huge number of ecologists , limnologists and oceanographers . In 1967 he became Spain 's first professor of ecology .   In 1957 , with the translation into English of his inaugural lecture as a member of the Barcelona Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences , `` Information Theory in Ecology '' , he gained a worldwide audience . Another groundbreaking article , `` On certain unifying principles in ecology '' , published in American Naturalist in 1963 , and his book `` Perspectives in Ecological Theory '' ( 1968 ) , based on his guest lectures at the University of Chicago , consolidated him as one of the leading thinkers of modern ecology . In the summer of 1958 he was professor of Marine ecology at the Institute of Marine Biology ( currently Department of Marine Sciences ) of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and produced the work Comunidades Naturales ( `` Natural Communities '' ) .   Some of his most important work includes the application of information theory to ecological studies and the creation of mathematical models for the study of populations . Among his books , the most influential are : Natural Communities ( 1962 ) , Perspectives In Ecological Theory ( 1968 ) , Ecology ( 1974 ) , The Biosphere ( 1980 ) , Limnology ( 1983 ) and Theory of Ecological Systems ( 1991 ) . He received many scientific awards , including the inaugural medal of the A.G. Huntsman Award for Excellence in the Marine Sciences , the Naumann-Thienemann Medal from the International Society of Limnology ( SIL ) , the Ramón y Cajal Award of the Spanish Government , and the Gold Medal of the Generalitat of Catalonia ( Catalan Government ) .

Labour and the environment are two different concepts that can be linked as one . Labour is defined as a task that is performed , typically for an economic return . Environment is defined as air , water , minerals , organisms , and all factors that contribute to ecology . It is the gregarious and cultural pressures that builds the lives of individuals or an entire population . Human labour in the forms of Logging , Mining , and Tourism , have negatively impacted the functions of the environment in various countries that are part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ( OECD ) forum . The OECD is a list of 34 countries whose governments work together to ensure that the market economies function accordingly and strive to increase economic growth , wealth and sustainable development . The impacts of labour on the environment have been so large that many corporations and campaigns have begun , striving to change the way humans exert their abilities on the environment by implementing policies to limit negative outcomes .   Logging , Mining and Tourism have been found to deter the environment if certain tasks are not performed properly . Logging has created such a negative effect on New Zealand in particular , that a 3 year ban had been placed on logging to attempt to preserve the environment and reconstruct it to its original structure . The effects are dated as far back as 1960 . At the end of the second world war , there were about 100,000 hectares of native forest , whereas today there is less than 17,000 hectares remaining in West Taupo District in New Zealand and many endangered species that resided in these forests are now extinct as a cause of logging . In terms of mining , the conflicts that have surfaced in Peru revolve around the inexperience workers that are hired to perform these tasks that incur a greater damage to the environment as they are not aware of the harm they are doing . There is a weakness around the environmental regulation in comparison to mining and many companies have taken over and negatively affected the environment in order to invest their wealth into new mining operations . Furthermore , Tourism has contributed a great amount of stress to the environment . When individuals from other countries are visiting these OECD countries that are under great distress with the environment and pollution , in many cases they provide more harm than good by littering or removing plants or flowers as a souvenir but are unaware that the souvenirs are part of an endangered species . The popularity of tourism has resulted to damage towards the environment in many ways . Tourism has led to the growth of airports , hotels , and other organizations that have stripped away land in order to build and grow in the economic sector . Although tourism can have a positive impact on the economy it results in an environmentally unsustainable model for many areas .   The relationship between human labour and the environment and the types of work that humans have participated in have created a negative impact on many aspects of the environment including climate change and has resulted in the emerging green economy . The primary cause of climate change is humans and their work towards the environment overtime . A result of this has been the policies that have been put into place to ensure the environment will be protected moving forwards and to establish alternate routes for individuals when available to preserve the environment . The key focus is on the impact of human work on the environment , and the impact of the environment on human work . The green economy has emerged as a result of the negative outcomes . Specifically to Limpopo , Africa , there have been so many negative contributions affecting the way the environment functions that they have created a project to help reduce this issue . This project contributes to the green economy and has created policies that will be implemented to reduce negative outcomes and alternative routes when attaining energy , goods , infrastructure , etc. .

Richard Louv ( born 1949 ) is an American nonfiction author and journalist . He is best known for his seventh book , Last Child in the Woods : Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder ( first published in 2005 by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill ) , which investigates the relationship of children and the natural world in current and historical contexts . Louv created the term `` nature-deficit disorder '' to describe possible negative consequences to individual health and the social fabric as children move indoors and away from physical contact with the natural world -- particularly unstructured , solitary experience . Louv cites research pointing to attention disorders , obesity , a dampening of creativity and depression as problems associated with a nature-deficient childhood . He amassed information on the subject from practitioners of many disciplines to make his case , and is commonly credited with helping to inspire an international movement to reintroduce children to nature .
