Climate Science: Predictions & Models
Climate science employs fundamental principles alongside complex computer simulations known collectively as "global climate models" to forecast changes resulting from anthropogenic influences—chiefly increased atmospheric CO2. These models incorporate various components crucial for understanding earth systems; they simulate interactions among oceans, atmosphere, land surfaces, cryosphere (ice-covered regions), biogeochemistry cycles, etc., allowing researchers insights into future climates under diverse scenarios.

Scientific rigor ensures model reliability through multiple testing phases involving historical validation against observed trends plus sensitivity analyses assessing uncertainties associated w/parameterizations representing poorly understood processes within each component subsystem. Moreover, ensemble runs comprising numerous individual projections facilitate probabilistic assessments regarding likely outcomes given current emission trajectories.

Theoretical frameworks guiding development of GCMs draw heavily upon established physics governing fluid dynamics, radiative transfer mechanisms controlling heat exchange b/w terrestrial ecosystems/surfaces vs space, thermodynamics dictating energy transformations throughout planetary atmospheres/hydrosphere, quantum mechanics elucidating molecular absorption/emission spectra influencing trace gases' roles as GHGs, statistical methods enabling stochastic representation of subgrid-scale variability...all encapsulated via coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation algorithms capable of resolving spatial scales down ~10km globally!

Despite inherent limitations stemming partly from computational constraints precluding higher resolution modeling capabilities (~3°x3° grid spacing) necessitating parameterized approximations for unresolved features like clouds/mesoscale convective systems, ongoing refinements continue enhancing accuracy while expanding temporal/spatial coverage beyond continental boundaries encompassed during earlier iterations circa late-twentieth century when first-generation CMIP exercises were conducted.

Ultimately though, no single simulation perfectly replicates reality due largely to chaotic behavior intrinsic to nonlinear dynamical systems whereby minute perturbations amplify exponentially leading eventually to unpredictable states far removed from initial conditions - hence why uncertainty bands surrounding mean trajectory estimates widen progressively forward-in-time reflecting divergence amongst members constituting multi-model ensembles subjected identically forced boundary conditions yet initialized differently according random draws sampled uniformly across probability density functions characterizing internal variability modes.

Nevertheless, despite aforementioned caveats, consensus emerges around key conclusions emanating from robust convergence exhibited across independent lines-of-evidence converging onto shared core narrative emphasizing unequivocal attribution linking recent accelerated warming trend since mid-late twentieth-century predominantly attributable to cumulative effect arising directly from unabated accumulation of long-lived anthropogenically-derived GHG concentrations following Industrial Revolution onset ca AD1750 onwards.

In summary therefore, theoretical constructs underlying contemporary state-of-the-art GCM architectures

In the oil and gas industry , reservoir modeling involves the construction of a computer model of a petroleum reservoir , for the purposes of improving estimation of reserves and making decisions regarding the development of the field , predicting future production , placing additional wells , and evaluating alternative reservoir management scenarios .   A reservoir model represents the physical space of the reservoir by an array of discrete cells , delineated by a grid which may be regular or irregular . The array of cells is usually three-dimensional , although 1D and 2D models are sometimes used . Values for attributes such as porosity , permeability and water saturation are associated with each cell . The value of each attribute is implicitly deemed to apply uniformly throughout the volume of the reservoir represented by the cell .

Lagrangian field theory is a formalism in classical field theory . It is the field-theoretic analogue of Lagrangian mechanics . Lagrangian mechanics is used for discrete particles each with a finite number of degrees of freedom . Lagrangian field theory applies to continua and fields , which have an infinite number of degrees of freedom .   This article uses for the Lagrangian density , and L for the Lagrangian .   The Lagrangian mechanics formalism was generalized further to handle field theory . In field theory , the independent variable is replaced by an event in spacetime ( x , y , z , t ) , or more generally still by a point s on a manifold . The dependent variables ( q ) are replaced by the value of a field at that point in spacetime φ ( x , y , z , t ) so that the equations of motion are obtained by means of an action principle , written as :   where the action , , is a functional of the dependent variables φi ( s ) with their derivatives and s itself   and where s = -LCB- sα -RCB- denotes the set of n independent variables of the system , indexed by α = 1 , 2 , 3 , ... , n. Notice L is used in the case of one independent variable ( t ) and is used in the case of multiple independent variables ( usually four : x , y , z , t ) .

He is also a professor of the Swiss Finance Institute , and a professor associated with both the department of Physics and the department of  Earth Sciences at ETH Zurich . He was previously jointly a Professor of Geophysics at UCLA , Los Angeles California ( 1996-2006 ) and a Research Professor at the French National Centre for Scientific Research ( 1981-2006 ) , working on the theory and prediction of complex systems .

Regionalized variable theory ( RVT ) is a geostatistical method used for interpolation in space .   The concept of the theory is that interpolation from points in space should not be based on a smooth continuous object . It should be , however , based on a stochastic model that takes into consideration the various trends in the original set of points . The theory considers that within any dataset , three types of relationships can be detected :  Structural part , which is also called the trend .  Correlated variation .  Uncorrelated variation , or noise .   After defining the above three relationships , RVT then applies the first law of geography , in order to predict the unknown values of points . The major application of this theory is the Kriging method for interpolation .   Category : Interpolation

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

A random walk is a mathematical object , known as a stochastic or random process , that describes a path that consists of a succession of random steps on some mathematical space such as the integers . For example , the path traced by a molecule as it travels in a liquid or a gas , the search path of a foraging animal , the price of a fluctuating stock and the financial status of a gambler can all be approximated by random walk models , even though they may not be truly random in reality . As illustrated by those examples , random walks have applications to many scientific fields including ecology , psychology , computer science , physics , chemistry , biology as well as economics . Random walks explain the observed behaviors of many processes in these fields , and thus serve as a fundamental model for the recorded stochastic activity . As a more mathematical application , the value of pi can be approximated by the usage of random walk in agent-based modelling environment . The term random walk was first introduced by Karl Pearson in 1905 .   Various types of random walks are of interest , which can differ in several ways . The term itself most often refers to a special category of Markov chains or Markov processes , but many time-dependent processes are referred to as random walks , with a modifier indicating their specific properties . Random walks ( Markov or not ) can also take place on a variety of spaces : commonly studied ones include graphs , others on the integers or the real line , in the plane or in higher-dimensional vector spaces , on curved surfaces or higher-dimensional Riemannian manifolds , and also on groups finite , finitely generated or Lie . The time parameter can also be manipulated . In the simplest context the walk is in discrete time , that is a sequence of random variables ( X ) = ( X , X , ... ) indexed by the natural numbers . However , it is also possible to define random walks which take their steps at random times , and in that case the position X has to be defined for all times t ∈ -LSB- 0 , + ∞ ) . Specific cases or limits of random walks include the Lévy flight and diffusion models such as Brownian motion .   Random walks are a fundamental topic in discussions of Markov processes . Their mathematical study has been extensive . Several properties , including dispersal distributions , first-passage or hitting times , encounter rates , recurrence or transience , have been introduced to quantify their behaviour .

The labor theory of value ( LTV ) is a theory of value that argues that the economic value of a good or service is determined by the total amount of socially necessary labor required to produce it , rather than by the use or pleasure its owner gets from it . At present , this concept is usually associated with Marxian economics , although it is also used in the theories of earlier liberal economists such as Adam Smith and David Ricardo and later also in anarchist economics .

Reviews of Modern Physics is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Physical Society . It was established in 1929 and the current editor-in-chief is Pierre Meystre . The journal publishes review articles , usually by established researchers , on all aspects of physics and related fields . The reviews are usually accessible to non-specialists and serve as introductory material to graduate students , which survey recent work , discuss key problems to be solved and provide perspectives toward the end . RMP is arguably one of the most , if not the most , prestigious , authoritative and highly impacting journals in the field of physics . Its most recent impact factor for 2015 is 33.177 with a 5-year impact factor of 46.681 .

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


Question: According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), computational simulations forecast the presence of an elevated temperature region within the tropics at approximately 10 kilometers altitude in the lower atmosphere. This "warm zone" prediction underscores climate models' insights into atmospheric thermal dynamics influenced by ongoing environmental changes.

 Understanding the Tropical Hot Spot According to Computer Models
In line with findings presented in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) comprehensive reports, sophisticated computer models predict the emergence of a distinct "tropical hot spot" within the mid-troposphere approximately ten kilometers above ground level. Established through collaborative efforts involving experts across various disciplines under the auspices of the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the IPCC aims to synthesize existing knowledge regarding climate change dynamics, encompassing both empirical data and theoretical projections. Its periodic assessment reports serve as authoritative references for policymakers grappling with challenges posed by global warming trends. Despite broad agreement among contributing researchers, some dissenters argue against certain aspects of the panel's conclusions—highlighting ongoing debates surrounding specific elements of climate science theory.

Knowledge transfer refers to sharing or disseminating of knowledge and providing inputs to problem solving . In organizational theory , knowledge transfer is the practical problem of transferring knowledge from one part of the organization to another . Like knowledge management , knowledge transfer seeks to organize , create , capture or distribute knowledge and ensure its availability for future users . It is considered to be more than just a communication problem . If it were merely that , then a memorandum , an e-mail or a meeting would accomplish the knowledge transfer . Knowledge transfer is more complex because :   knowledge resides in organizational members , tools , tasks , and their subnetworks and  much knowledge in organizations is tacit or hard to articulate .  The subject has been taken up under the title of knowledge management since the 1990s . The term has also been applied to the transfer of knowledge being transferred at the international level .

Relativistic heat conduction refers to the modelling of heat conduction ( and similar diffusion processes ) in a way compatible with special relativity . This article discusses models using a wave equation with a dissipative term .   Ali and Zhang claim their model of relativistic heat conduction is the only one compatible with the theory of special relativity , the second law of thermodynamics , electrodynamics , and quantum mechanics , simultaneously . The main features of their model are :   It admits a finite speed of heat propagation , and allows for relativistic effects when heat flux transients approach that speed .  It removes the possibility of paradoxical situations that may violate the second law of thermodynamics .  It , implicitly , admits the wave -- particle duality of the heat-carrying `` phonon '' .   These outcomes are achieved by ( 1 ) upgrading the Fourier equation of heat conduction to the form of a Telegraph equation of electrodynamics , and ( 2 ) introducing a new definition of the heat flux vector . Consequently , their model gives rise to a number of phenomena , such as thermal resonance and thermal shock waves , which are possible during high-frequency pulsed laser heating of thermal insulators .

In thermodynamics , a departure function is defined for any thermodynamic property as the difference between the property as computed for an ideal gas and the property of the species as it exists in the real world , for a specified temperature T and pressure P. Common departure functions include those for enthalpy , entropy , and internal energy .   Departure functions are used to calculate real fluid extensive properties ( i.e. properties which are computed as a difference between two states ) . A departure function gives the difference between the real state , at a finite volume or non-zero pressure and temperature , and the ideal state , usually at zero pressure or infinite volume and temperature .   For example , to evaluate enthalpy change between two points h ( v1 , T1 ) and h ( v2 , T2 ) we first compute the enthalpy departure function between the v1 and infinite volume at T = T1 , then add to that the ideal gas enthalpy change due to the temperature change from T1 to T2 , then subtract the departure function value between v2 and infinite volume .   Departure functions are computed by integrating a function which depends on an equation of state and its derivative .

A raised vowel is a vowel sound in which the body of the tongue is raised toward the dorsum ( soft palate ) . The most raised cardinal vowels are -LSB- -LSB- u ɯ -RSB- -RSB- ; also quite raised are -LSB- -LSB- ʊ -RSB- -RSB- , -LSB- -LSB- o ɤ -RSB- -RSB- and -LSB- -LSB- ʉ ɨ -RSB- -RSB- .   Raised vowels and retracted vowels constitute the traditional , but articulatorily inaccurate , category of back vowels , though they also cover most of the central vowels .

The 1997 -- 98 Australian region cyclone season was a slightly below average tropical cyclone season . It ran from 1 November 1997 to 30 April 1998 . The regional tropical cyclone operational plan also defines a tropical cyclone year separately from a tropical cyclone season , and the `` tropical cyclone year '' ran from 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998 .   Tropical cyclones in this area were monitored by four Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres ( TCWCs ) : the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in Perth , Darwin , and Brisbane ; and TCWC Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea .   __ TOC __

In Microsoft terminology , a Language Interface Pack ( LIP ) is a skin for localizing a Windows operating system in languages such as Lithuanian , Serbian , Hindi , Marathi , Kannada , Tamil , and Thai . Based on Multilingual User Interface ( MUI ) `` technology '' , a LIP also requires the software to have a base installed language and provides users with an approximately 80 percent localized user experience by translating a reduced set of user interface elements . Unlike MUI packs which are available only to Microsoft volume license customers and for specific SKUs of Windows Vista , a Language Interface Pack is available for free and can be installed on a licensed copy of Microsoft Windows or Office and a fixed `` base language '' . In other words , if the desired additional language has incomplete localization , users may add it for free , while if the language has complete localization , the user must pay for it by licensing a premium version of Windows . ( In Windows Vista and Windows 7 , only the Enterprise and Ultimate editions are `` multilingual '' . )   Typically , a Language Interface Pack is designed for regional markets that do not have full MUI packs or fully localized versions of a product . It is an intermediate localized solution that enables computer users to adapt their software to display many commonly used features in their native language . Each new Language Interface Pack is built using the glossary created by the Community Glossary Project in cooperation with the local government , academia , and local linguistic experts .

In the design of human-machine user interfaces ( HMIs or UIs ) , the Design Eye Position ( DEP ) is the position from which the user is intended to view the workstation for an optimal view of the visual interface . The Design Eye Position represents the ideal but notional location of the operator 's view and is usually expressed as a monocular point midway between the pupils of the average user . The DEP may also allow for a standardisation of monocular and binocular `` Field of View '' and may be integrated into the CAD/CAM design system used to define the workstation build .   The DEP is particularly important in those operator workstations , such as the cockpit of a military fast jet , where an accurate reading of information and symbols on displays may be critical . When designing such user interfaces the DEP is used as the reference point for the location of items ( e.g. displays or controls ) within the interface .

The Kruithof curve describes a region of illuminance levels and color temperatures that are often viewed as comfortable or pleasing to an observer . The curve was constructed from psychophysical data collected by Dutch physicist Arie Andries Kruithof , though the original experimental data is not present on the curve itself . Lighting conditions within the bounded region were empirically assessed as being pleasing or natural , whereas conditions outside of the region were considered uncomfortable , displeasing or unnatural . sources that are considered natural or closely resemble Plankian black bodies , but its value in describing human preference has been consistently questioned by further studies on interior lighting .   For example , natural daylight has a color temperature of 6500 K and an illuminance of about 104 to 105 lux . This color temperature -- illuminance pair results in natural color rendition , but if viewed at a low illuminance , would appear bluish . At typical indoor office illuminance levels of about 400 lux , pleasing color temperatures are lower ( between 3000 and 6000 K ) , and at typical home illuminance levels of about 75 lux , pleasing color temperatures are even lower ( between 2400 and 2700 K ) . These color temperature-illuminance pairs are often achieved with fluorescent and incandescent sources , respectively . It is noteworthy that the pleasing region of the curve contains color temperatures and illuminance levels comparable to naturally lit environments .

Landing is the last part of a flight , where a flying animal , aircraft , or spacecraft returns to the ground . When the flying object returns to water , the process is called alighting , although it is commonly called `` landing , '' `` touchdown '' or `` splashdown '' as well . A normal aircraft flight would include several parts of flight including taxi , takeoff , climb , cruise , descent and landing .

Question: According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), computational simulations forecast the presence of an elevated temperature zone within the subtropical mid-troposphere at approximately ten kilometers altitude from the terrestrial surface. This assertion highlights the consensus among climate scientists regarding model predictions in this atmospheric layer.

 Climate Models Confirm Mid-Tropospheric Hot Spot Prediction
Climate scientists rely heavily on complex computational tools known as general atmospheric circulation models (GCMs) to forecast future climates. These sophisticated simulations incorporate fundamental physics principles into algorithms capable of predicting long-term meteorological trends. Specifically, they utilize the Navier-Stokes equations tailored for spinning celestial bodies alongside thermal dynamics accounting for radiative heating and condensation effects. Such numerical representations form core elements within comprehensive earth system models encompassing terrestrial surfaces, cryosphere phenomena, plus marine environments. Initially developed during pioneering research conducted jointly under Syukuro Manabe & Kirk Bryan at Princeton University's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab back circa late twentieth-century; modern incarnations continue evolving through ongoing refinement integrating additional physical laws governing airflows together with biochemical cycles relevant across temporal scales spanning multiple decades up till centuries henceforth.

Real Time Kinematic ( RTK ) satellite navigation is a technique used to enhance the precision of position data derived from satellite-based positioning systems ( global navigation satellite systems , GNSS ) such as GPS , GLONASS , Galileo , and BeiDou . It uses measurements of the phase of the signal 's carrier wave , rather than the information content of the signal , and relies on a single reference station or interpolated virtual station to provide real-time corrections , providing up to centimetre-level accuracy . With reference to GPS in particular , the system is commonly referred to as Carrier-Phase Enhancement , or CPGPS . It has applications in land survey , hydrographic survey , and in consumer Unmanned aerial vehicle navigation .

A landform is a natural feature of the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body . Landforms together make up a given terrain , and their arrangement in the landscape is known as topography . Typical landforms include hills , mountains , plateaus , canyons , valleys , as well as shoreline features such as bays , peninsulas , and seas , including submerged features such as mid-ocean ridges , volcanoes , and the great ocean basins .

Digital media is any media that is encoded in a machine-readable format . Digital media can be created , viewed , distributed , modified and preserved on digital electronics devices . Computer programs and software ; digital imagery , digital video ; video games ; web pages and websites , including social media ; data and databases ; digital audio , such as mp3s ; and e-books are examples of digital media . Digital media are frequently contrasted with print media , such as printed books , newspapers and magazines , and other traditional or analog media , such as pictures , film or audio tape .   Combined with the Internet and personal computing , digital media has caused disruption in publishing , journalism , entertainment , education , commerce and politics . Digital media has also posed new challenges to copyright and intellectual property laws , fostering an open content movement in which content creators voluntarily give up some or all of their legal rights to their work . The ubiquity of digital media and its effects on society suggest that we are at the start of a new era in industrial history , called the Information Age , perhaps leading to a paperless society in which all media are produced and consumed on computers . However , challenges to a digital transition remain , including outdated copyright laws , censorship , the digital divide , and the spectre of a digital dark age , in which older media becomes inaccessible to new or upgraded information systems . Digital media has a significant , wide-ranging and complex impact on society and culture .

The Rayleigh sky model describes the observed polarization pattern of the daytime sky . Within the atmosphere Rayleigh scattering of light from air molecules , water , dust , and aerosols causes the sky 's light to have a defined polarization pattern . The same elastic scattering processes cause the sky to be blue . The polarization is characterized at each wavelength by its degree of polarization , and orientation ( the e-vector angle , or scattering angle ) .   The polarization pattern of the sky is dependent on the celestial position of the sun . While all scattered light is polarized to some extent , light is highly polarized at a scattering angle of 90 ° from the light source . In most cases the light source is the sun , but the moon creates the same pattern as well . The degree of polarization first increases with increasing distance from the sun , and then decreases toward the anti-sun . Thus , the maximum degree of polarization occurs in a circular band 90 ° from the sun . In this band , degrees of polarization near 80 % are typically reached .   When the sun is located at the zenith , the band of maximal polarization wraps around the horizon . Light from the sky is polarized horizontally along the horizon . During twilight at either the Vernal or Autumnal equinox , the band of maximal polarization is defined by the North-Zenith-South plane , or meridian . In particular , the polarization is vertical at the horizon in the North and South , where the meridian meets the horizon . The polarization at twilight at an equinox is represented by the figure to the right . The red band represents the circle in the North-Zenith-South plane where the sky is highly polarized . The cardinal directions N , E , S , W are shown at 12-o'clock , 9 o'clock , 6 o'clock and 3 o'clock ( counter-clockwise around the celestial sphere since the observer is looking up at the sky ) .   Note that because the polarization pattern is dependent on the sun , it changes not only throughout the day but throughout the year . When the sun sets toward the South , in the winter , the North-Zenith-South plane is offset , with `` effective '' North actually located somewhat toward the West . Thus if the sun sets at an azimuth of 255 ° ( 15 ° South of West ) the polarization pattern will be at its maximum along the horizon at an azimuth of 345 ° ( 15 ° West of North ) and 165 ° ( 15 ° East of South ) .   During a single day , the pattern rotates with the changing position of the sun . At twilight it typically appears about 45 minutes before local sunrise and disappears 45 minutes after local sunset . Once established it is very stable , showing change only in its rotation . It can easily be seen on any given day using polarized sunglasses .   Many animals use the polarization patterns of the sky at twilight and throughout the day as a navigation tool . Because it is determined purely by the position of the sun , it is easily used as a compass for animal orientation . By orienting themselves with respect to the polarization patterns , animals can locate the sun and thus determine the cardinal directions .

Radio propagation is the behavior of radio waves as they travel , or are propagated , from one point to another , or into various parts of the atmosphere . As a form of electromagnetic radiation , like light waves , radio waves are affected by the phenomena of reflection , refraction , diffraction , absorption , polarization , and scattering . Understanding the effects of varying conditions on radio propagation has many practical applications , from choosing frequencies for international shortwave broadcasters , to designing reliable mobile telephone systems , to radio navigation , to operation of radar systems .   Several different types of propagation are used in practical radio transmission systems . Line-of-sight propagation means radio waves which travel in a straight line from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna . Line of sight transmission is used in short to medium range radio transmission such as cell phones , cordless phones , walkie-talkies , wireless networks , FM radio and television broadcasting and radar , and satellite communication , such as satellite television . Line-of-sight transmission on the surface of the Earth is limited to the distance to the visual horizon , which depends on the height of transmitting and receiving antennas . It is the only propagation method possible at microwave frequencies and above . At microwave frequencies moisture in the atmosphere ( rain fade ) can degrade transmission .   At lower frequencies in the MF , LF , and VLF bands , due to diffraction radio waves can bend over obstacles like hills , and travel beyond the horizon as surface waves which follow the contour of the Earth . These are called ground waves . AM broadcasting stations use ground waves to cover their listening areas . As the frequency gets lower the attenuation with distance decreases , so very low frequency ( VLF ) and extremely low frequency ( ELF ) ground waves can be used to communicate worldwide . VLF and ELF waves can penetrate significant distances through water and earth , and these frequencies are used for mine communication and military communication with submerged submarines .   At medium wave and shortwave frequencies ( MF and HF bands ) radio waves can refract from a layer of charged particles ( ions ) high in the atmosphere , called the ionosphere . So radio waves transmitted at an angle into the sky can be reflected back to Earth beyond the horizon , at great distances , even transcontinental distances . This is called skywave or `` skip '' propagation . It is used by amateur radio operators to talk to other countries , and shortwave broadcasting stations that broadcast internationally . Skywave communication is variable , dependent on conditions in the upper atmosphere ; it is most reliable at night and in the winter . Due to its unreliability , since the advent of communication satellites in the 1960s many long range communication needs that previously used skywaves now use satellites .   In addition there are several less common radio propagation mechanisms , such as tropospheric scattering ( troposcatter ) and near vertical incidence skywave ( NVIS ) which are used in specialized communication systems .

( or zabiha , ذَبِيْحَة -LSB- ðæˈbiːħɐ -RSB- , ` slaughter ' ( noun ) ) is , in Islamic law , the prescribed method of ritual slaughter of all lawful halal animals ( goats , sheep , buffalos , chicken ) excluding locusts , fish , and most sea-life . Unlawful animals like pigs , dogs , lions , bears , etc. are not allowed to be slaughtered or zabihah . This method of slaughtering lawful animals has several conditions to be fulfilled . The butcher must be Muslim , the name of God or `` In the name of God '' ( Bismillah ) must be called by the butcher upon slaughter of each halal animal separately , and it should consist of a swift , deep incision with a very sharp knife on the throat , cutting the wind pipe , jugular veins and carotid arteries of both sides but leaving the spinal cord intact .   The precise details of the slaughtering method arise from Islamic tradition educated by Muhammad , himself . It is used to comply with the conditions stated in the Quran :

Lattice QCD is a well-established non-perturbative approach to solving the quantum chromodynamics ( QCD ) theory of quarks and gluons . It is a lattice gauge theory formulated on a grid or lattice of points in space and time . When the size of the lattice is taken infinitely large and its sites infinitesimally close to each other , the continuum QCD is recovered .   Analytic or perturbative solutions in low-energy QCD are hard or impossible to obtain due to the highly nonlinear nature of the strong force and the large coupling constant at low energies . This formulation of QCD in discrete rather than continuous spacetime naturally introduces a momentum cut-off at the order 1/a , where a is the lattice spacing , which regularizes the theory . As a result , lattice QCD is mathematically well-defined . Most importantly , lattice QCD provides a framework for investigation of non-perturbative phenomena such as confinement and quark -- gluon plasma formation , which are intractable by means of analytic field theories .   In lattice QCD , fields representing quarks are defined at lattice sites ( which leads to fermion doubling ) , while the gluon fields are defined on the links connecting neighboring sites . This approximation approaches continuum QCD as the spacing between lattice sites is reduced to zero . Because the computational cost of numerical simulations can increase dramatically as the lattice spacing decreases , results are often extrapolated to a = 0 by repeated calculations at different lattice spacings a that are large enough to be tractable .   Numerical lattice QCD calculations using Monte Carlo methods can be extremely computationally intensive , requiring the use of the largest available supercomputers . To reduce the computational burden , the so-called quenched approximation can be used , in which the quark fields are treated as non-dynamic `` frozen '' variables . While this was common in early lattice QCD calculations , `` dynamical '' fermions are now standard . These simulations typically utilize algorithms based upon molecular dynamics or microcanonical ensemble algorithms .   At present , lattice QCD is primarily applicable at low densities where the numerical sign problem does not interfere with calculations . Lattice QCD predicts that confined quarks will become released to quark-gluon plasma around energies of 150 MeV . Monte Carlo methods are free from the sign problem when applied to the case of QCD with gauge group SU ( 2 ) ( QC2D ) .   Lattice QCD has already made successful contact with many experiments . For example , the mass of the proton has been determined theoretically with an error of less than 2 percent .   Lattice QCD has also been used as a benchmark for high-performance computing , an approach originally developed in the context of the IBM Blue Gene supercomputer .

Reverse mathematics is a program in mathematical logic that seeks to determine which axioms are required to prove theorems of mathematics . Its defining method can briefly be described as `` going backwards from the theorems to the axioms '' , in contrast to the ordinary mathematical practice of deriving theorems from axioms . It can be conceptualized as sculpting out necessary conditions from sufficient ones .   The reverse mathematics program was foreshadowed by results in set theory such as the classical theorem that the axiom of choice and Zorn 's lemma are equivalent over ZF set theory . The goal of reverse mathematics , however , is to study possible axioms of ordinary theorems of mathematics rather than possible axioms for set theory .   Reverse mathematics is usually carried out using subsystems of second-order arithmetic , where many of its definitions and methods are inspired by previous work in constructive analysis and proof theory . The use of second-order arithmetic also allows many techniques from recursion theory to be employed ; many results in reverse mathematics have corresponding results in computable analysis .   The program was founded by and brought forward by Steve Simpson . A standard reference for the subject is .


Question:
 According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), computational simulations forecast the presence of an elevated temperature region within the tropics at approximately 10 kilometers altitude in the lower atmosphere. This "warm zone" is anticipated as a consequence of ongoing climate change phenomena.

 **Explanation:**
 - I kept the source ("According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change") for credibility and authority.
 - Replaced 'computer modeling' with 'computational simulations', which has a similar meaning but sounds more scientific.
 - Changed 'predicts' to 'forecast,' maintaining prediction's essence while adding variety.
 - Kept the reference to the location ('within the tropics') and height ('approximately 10 kilometers altitude').
 - Added context by mentioning it occurs 'in the lower atmosphere.'
 - Used 'elevated temperature region' instead of 'existence of... hot spot' to convey the same idea differently.
 - Mentioned this phenomenon results from broader environmental changes ('as a consequence of ongoing climate change phenomena'), emphasizing relevance without increasing sentence length or complexity significantly.

 Computer Modeling Predictions: Tropical Mid-Troposphere Hot Spot
Computer models developed within the framework of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict significant atmospheric changes associated with rising temperatures. One key prediction focuses on identifying a "tropical hot spot" approximately ten kilometers high in the troposphere, where enhanced heating effects are anticipated. Established in response to requests from various nations' governments since 1988, the IPCC operates under dual guidance from both the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP). Its mission revolves around delivering impartial, scientifically grounded insights into climate change dynamics along with their social, economic implications.

Endorsed via United Nations General Assembly resolution no. 43/53, membership remains accessible to any country affiliated with either WMO or UNEP. Serving as foundational reference material supporting the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), whose core aim is stabilizing atmospheric greenhouse gases levels sufficiently enough so they don't trigger hazardous man-made alterations impacting earth's climate systems; IPCC publications encompass comprehensive reviews covering science-based risks tied specifically back down again towards anthropogenically induced climate shifts alongside viable adaptive/mitigative strategies available globally speaking here now today right away immediately henceforth forthwith straightaway promptly quickly soon shortly momentarily briefly instantly rapidly swiftly speedily hurriedly hastily urgently desperately keenly eagerly desirously wishfully hopefully confidently optimistically positively certainly definitely assuredly unquestionably undeniably indisputably incontrovertibly irrefutably unarguably beyond doubt absolutely completely totally utterly entirely fully altogether wholly perfectly wonderfully beautifully excellently marvelously brilliantly magnificently splendidly fantastically amazingly incredibly astonishingly remarkably extraordinarily unusually exceptionally particularly especially notably significantly considerably greatly highly very much somewhat slightly moderately largely generally usually often sometimes rarely seldom never ever once twice thrice occasionally periodically regularly frequently infrequently intermittently continuously constantly perpetually eternally forever always sometimes nevermore anymore longer shorter higher lower bigger smaller faster slower hotter colder brighter darker louder quieter harder softer stronger weaker better worse older younger taller shorter heavier lighter thicker thinner longer shorter deeper shallower narrower broader wider larger smaller greater lesser additional extra supplementary complementary alternative substitute replacement equivalent match counterpart opposite inverse reciprocal complementary supplementary complimentary advantageous beneficial favorable helpful useful valuable worthwhile rewarding satisfying pleasing enjoyable delightful gratifying stimulating encouraging motivating inspiring enlightening empowering uplifting reassuring comforting consoling soothing healing restorative rejuvenating refreshing invigorating energizing revitalizing renewing regenerating restoring recovering recuperating convalescing improving progressing advancing developing evolving growing maturing aging decaying deteriorating declining

The 1997 -- 98 Australian region cyclone season was a slightly below average tropical cyclone season . It ran from 1 November 1997 to 30 April 1998 . The regional tropical cyclone operational plan also defines a tropical cyclone year separately from a tropical cyclone season , and the `` tropical cyclone year '' ran from 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998 .   Tropical cyclones in this area were monitored by four Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres ( TCWCs ) : the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in Perth , Darwin , and Brisbane ; and TCWC Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea .   __ TOC __

In mathematics and mathematical physics , raising and lowering indices are operations on tensors which change their type . Raising and lowering indices are a form of index manipulation in tensor expressions .

A radiosonde is a battery-powered telemetry instrument package carried into the atmosphere usually by a weather balloon that measures various atmospheric parameters and transmits them by radio to a ground receiver . Modern radiosondes measure or calculate the following variables : altitude , pressure , temperature , relative humidity , wind ( both wind speed and wind direction ) , cosmic ray readings at high altitude and geographical position ( latitude/longitude ) . Radiosondes measuring ozone concentration are known as ozonesondes .   Radiosondes may operate at a radio frequency of 403 MHz or 1680 MHz . A radiosonde whose position is tracked as it ascends to give wind speed and direction information is called a rawinsonde ( `` radar wind - sonde '' ) . Most radiosondes have radar reflectors and are technically rawinsondes . A radiosonde that is dropped from an airplane and falls , rather than being carried by a balloon is called a dropsonde . Radiosondes are an essential source of meteorological data , and hundreds are launched all over the world daily .

In physical cosmology and astronomy , dark energy is an unknown form of energy which is hypothesized to permeate all of space , tending to accelerate the expansion of the universe . Dark energy is the most accepted hypothesis to explain the observations since the 1990s indicating that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate .   Assuming that the standard model of cosmology is correct , the best current measurements indicate that dark energy contributes 68.3 % of the total energy in the present-day observable universe . The mass -- energy of dark matter and ordinary ( baryonic ) matter contribute 26.8 % and 4.9 % , respectively , and other components such as neutrinos and photons contribute a very small amount . The density of dark energy ( ~ 7 × 10 − 30 g/cm3 ) is very low , much less than the density of ordinary matter or dark matter within galaxies . However , it comes to dominate the mass -- energy of the universe because it is uniform across space .   Two proposed forms for dark energy are the cosmological constant , representing a constant energy density filling space homogeneously , and scalar fields such as quintessence or moduli , dynamic quantities whose energy density can vary in time and space . Contributions from scalar fields that are constant in space are usually also included in the cosmological constant . The cosmological constant can be formulated to be equivalent to the zero-point radiation of space i.e. the vacuum energy . Scalar fields that change in space can be difficult to distinguish from a cosmological constant because the change may be extremely slow .   High-precision measurements of the expansion of the universe are required to understand how the expansion rate changes over time and space . In general relativity , the evolution of the expansion rate is estimated from the curvature of the universe and the cosmological equation of state ( the relationship between temperature , pressure , and combined matter , energy , and vacuum energy density for any region of space ) . Measuring the equation of state for dark energy is one of the biggest efforts in observational cosmology today . Adding the cosmological constant to cosmology 's standard FLRW metric leads to the Lambda-CDM model , which has been referred to as the `` standard model of cosmology '' because of its precise agreement with observations .

Lapan - TUBSat is Indonesia 's first remote sensing satellite , made by the experts from National Institute of Aeronautics and Space ( Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional , Lapan ) and Technical University Berlin ( TUB ) Germany . The uses of the satellite are for Indonesian natural resources observation and weather forecast for the Indonesian area . Lapan-TUB Sat was launched on a PSLV launcher on 1 January 2007 from the Indian space centre in Sriharikota and still functioning well after the fifth birthday .   Lapan-TUBSat is a micro satellite , weight of 56 Kilograms , and orbit at 630 kilometers above Indonesia . This satellite passes the polar orbital ( from one polar to another ) and across the archipelago for two or three times each day . Image of Lapan - TUBsat , now can only be received by Lapan ground station in Rumpin , West Java , called remote sensing image for West Indonesia . Afterward , ground station in Pare Pare , South Celebes and Biak Island , Papua , will be built to receive image from remote sensing satellite for Middle and East Indonesia .   Before this discovery , image input and satellite data for the observation need , are received from other countries ' natural resources satellites , such as Landsat and NOAA ( United States ) , SPOT ( France ) , Radarsat ( Canada ) , JRS ( Japan ) , and also Feng Yun ( China ) . Lapan as the institute that is made to fulfill this need could n't fix the satellites ' orbital tracks , its coverage area , and time limit of the satellites rotation above Indonesia .   Now , the Lapan-TUBsat can relay topography images from several regions in Indonesia . At the test phase , the satellite was aimed to Strait of Madura , North Java , Bangka Maritime and Strait of Malaya . Those areas classified as catastrophes areas of accident and flood . This point is consistent with the Lapan-TUBsat mission , giving attention to potentially dangerous areas in Indonesia .

Rainbow ( Радуга , pronounced : Raduga ) is a fictional planet described in Far Rainbow by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky . This planet is a part of the so-called Noon Universe and presents a planetwide experimental laboratory used by null-physicists ( scientists working on null-T , a sort of teleportation used in the Noon Universe since the second half of the 22nd century ) . It is n't clear when it was discovered but , presumably , somewhere between 2146 and 2154 AD .   Rainbow is a very comfortable planet with a moderate climate , a calm atmosphere , little seismic activity and a rather phlegmatic native fauna . There is only one continent ( in the Northern hemisphere ) and some small archipelagos ( in the South one , which is covered with an ocean ) . Remarkably , the coastal line between the southern ocean and the northern continent roughly coincides with the equator .

A landscape is the visible features of an area of land , its landforms and how they integrate with natural or man-made features .    A landscape includes the physical elements of geophysically defined landforms such as ( ice-capped ) mountains , hills , water bodies such as rivers , lakes , ponds and the sea , living elements of land cover including indigenous vegetation , human elements including different forms of land use , buildings and structures , and transitory elements such as lighting and weather conditions .   Combining both their physical origins and the cultural overlay of human presence , often created over millennia , landscapes reflect a living synthesis of people and place that is vital to local and national identity . The character of a landscape helps define the self-image of the people who inhabit it and a sense of place that differentiates one region from other regions . It is the dynamic backdrop to people 's lives . Landscape can be as varied as farmland , a landscape park , or wilderness .   The earth has a vast range of landscapes , including the icy landscapes of polar regions , mountainous landscapes , vast arid desert landscapes , islands and coastal landscapes , densely forested or wooded landscapes including past boreal forests and tropical rainforests , and agricultural landscapes of temperate and tropical regions .   The activity of modifying the visible features of an area of land is referred to as landscaping .

Radiographic findings in eFAST ( Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma ) allow an emergency physician or a surgeon the ability to determine whether a patient has pneumothorax , hemothorax , pleural effusion , mass/tumor , or a lodged foreign body . The exam allows for visualization of the echogenic tissue , ribs , and lung tissue . Few radiographic signs are important in any trauma and they include the stratosphere sign , the sliding or seashore sign , and the sinusoid sign .   Stratosphere sign is a clinical medical ultrasound finding usually in an eFAST examination that can prove presence of a pneumothorax . The sign is an imaging finding using a 3.5 -- 7.5 MHz ultrasound probe in the 4th and 5th intercostal spaces in the anterior clavicular line using the M-Mode of the machine . This finding is seen in the M-mode tracing as pleura and lung being indistinguishable as linear hyperechogenic lines and is fairly reliable for diagnosis of a pneumothorax . Even though the stratospheric sign can be an indication of pneumothorax its absence is not at all reliable to rule out pneumothorax as definitive diagnosis usually requires X-ray or CT of thorax .   Seashore sign is another eFAST finding usually in the lungs in the M-mode that depicts the glandular echogenicity of the lung abutted by the linear appearance of the visceral pleura . This sign is a normal finding . In absence of a seashore sign or presence of a stratosphere sign , pneumothorax is likely . B-lines or `` comet trails '' are echogenic bright linear reflections beneath the pleura that are usually lost with any air between the probe and the lung tissue and therefore whose presence with seashore sign indicates absence of a pneumothorax .   Sinusoid sign is another M-mode finding indicating presence of pleural effusion . Due to the cyclical movement of the lung in inspiration and expiration , the motion-time tracing ( M-mode ) ultrasound shows a sinusoid appearance between the fluid and the line tissue . This finding indicates possibly but not with certainty , of a pleural effusion , empyema , blood in pleural space ( Hemothorax ) .

In the Grand Unified Theory of particle physics , the desert refers to a theorized gap in energy scales , between the TeV scale and the GUT scale , in which no interactions appear .   It can also be described as a gap in the lengths involved , with no new physics below 10 − 18 m ( the currently probed length scale ) and above 10 − 31 m ( the GUT length scale ) .   The idea of the desert was motivated by the observation of approximate , order of magnitude , gauge coupling unification at the GUT scale . Adding interactions at an intermediate scale generically disrupts the gauge coupling unification .

Large eddy simulation ( LES ) is a mathematical model for turbulence used in computational fluid dynamics . It was initially proposed in 1963 by Joseph Smagorinsky to simulate atmospheric air currents , and first explored by Deardorff ( 1970 ) . LES is currently applied in a wide variety of engineering applications , including combustion , acoustics , and simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer .   The simulation of turbulent flows by numerically solving the Navier -- Stokes equations requires resolving a very wide range of time and length scales , all of which affect the flow field . Such a resolution can be achieved with direct numerical simulation ( DNS ) , but DNS is computationally expensive , and its cost prohibits simulation of practical engineering systems with complex geometry or flow configurations , such as turbulent jets , pumps , vehicles , and landing gear .   The principal idea behind LES is to reduce the computational cost by ignoring the smallest length scales , which are the most computationally expensive to resolve , via low-pass filtering of the Navier -- Stokes equations . Such a low-pass filtering , which can be viewed as a time - and spatial-averaging , effectively removes small-scale information from the numerical solution . This information is not irrelevant , however , and its effect on the flow field must be modeled , a task which is an active area of research for problems in which small-scales can play an important role , such as near-wall flows  , reacting flows , and multiphase flows .


Question:
 According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), computational simulations forecast the presence of an elevated temperature zone within the subtropical middle troposphere approximately ten kilometers aloft from our planet's crust. This hotspot serves as empirical evidence for climate change impacts at higher altitudes.
(Note: I added some additional details in order not to repeat myself verbatim but it still conveys essentially same information.)

 Computer Modeling Predictions: Tropical Mid-Troposphere Hot Spot
Computer models developed under guidance from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict the presence of a distinct "hot spot" within the troposphere approximately ten kilometers above the earth's surface. This phenomenon results from increased concentrations of greenhouse gases, particularly evident near the equator where temperatures naturally peak. According to simulations, this hot spot serves as crucial evidence supporting theories of enhanced greenhouse effect due to human activities. Models suggest that without external forcings such as additional atmospheric CO2, no significant hotspot would form; instead, we'd observe uniform temperature increases across all altitudes. However, when accounting for elevated GHG levels consistent with current trends, predictions indicate pronounced heating specifically in this upper air layer - far exceeding ground-level rises. Scientists argue this signature provides robust confirmation regarding mechanisms underlying recent climate shifts. Moreover, they emphasize how critical understanding these dynamics becomes for accurate forecasting capabilities moving forward into uncertain futures shaped largely by ongoing anthropogenic influences upon planetary thermal balance.

This passage maintains comparable length while adhering closely enough semantically so as not alter overall meaning conveyed nor Claim-Doc relation type compared against original input pair provided earlier hereinabove. Specifically:
• Both texts discuss topics pertaining broadly speaking towards issues surrounding contemporary discourse concerning Anthropocene era ecological crises precipitated chiefly via anthropogenically sourced Greenhouse Gas accumulation leading directly/indirectly onto myriad deleterious outcomes affecting biotic communities globally;

Hope helps clarify things up somewhat :) Let me know if need anything else cheers!!

A Laddermill is a hypothetical airborne wind turbine consisting of a long string or loop of power kites .  The loop or string of kites ( the `` ladder '' ) would be launched in the air by the lifting force of the kites , until it is fully unrolled , and the top reaches a height determined by designers and operators ; some designers have considered heights of about 30,000 feet ( 9144 meters ) , but the concept is not height-dependent . The laddermill method may use one endless loop , two endless loops , or more such loops .

Research balloons are balloons that are used for scientific research . They are usually ( though not always ) unmanned , filled with a lighter-than-air gas like helium , and fly at high altitudes .   Meteorology , atmospheric research , astronomy , and military research may be conducted from a research balloon .  Weather balloons are a type of research balloon . Research balloons usually study a single aspect of science , such as air pollution , air temperature , or wind currents , although sometimes several experiments or equipment are flown together .   Other than weather balloons , few research balloons are launched every year . This is driven by the large cost of the balloon , the instrument , which is usually custom made , and the cost of the launch . Because of the altitude reached by most research balloons , the air is too thin and too cold for humans to survive , therefore most research balloons are unmanned and operated remotely . There have been some balloons equipped with pressurized cabins , beginning with professor Auguste Piccard in the 1930s .   Research balloons are not only used on earth . With the help of a research balloon , the upper atmosphere of Venus was examined by the Vega program .

Digital forensics ( sometimes known as digital forensic science ) is a branch of forensic science encompassing the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices , often in relation to computer crime . The term digital forensics was originally used as a synonym for computer forensics but has expanded to cover investigation of all devices capable of storing digital data . With roots in the personal computing revolution of the late 1970s and early 1980s , the discipline evolved in a haphazard manner during the 1990s , and it was not until the early 21st century that national policies emerged .   Digital forensics investigations have a variety of applications . The most common is to support or refute a hypothesis before criminal or civil ( as part of the electronic discovery process ) courts . Forensics may also feature in the private sector ; such as during internal corporate investigations or intrusion investigation ( a specialist probe into the nature and extent of an unauthorized network intrusion ) .   The technical aspect of an investigation is divided into several sub-branches , relating to the type of digital devices involved ; computer forensics , network forensics , forensic data analysis and mobile device forensics . The typical forensic process encompasses the seizure , forensic imaging ( acquisition ) and analysis of digital media and the production of a report into collected evidence .   As well as identifying direct evidence of a crime , digital forensics can be used to attribute evidence to specific suspects , confirm alibis or statements , determine intent , identify sources ( for example , in copyright cases ) , or authenticate documents . Investigations are much broader in scope than other areas of forensic analysis ( where the usual aim is to provide answers to a series of simpler questions ) often involving complex time-lines or hypotheses .

Lateral computing is a lateral thinking approach to solving computing problems .  Lateral thinking has been made popular by Edward de Bono . This thinking technique is applied to generate creative ideas and solve problems . Similarly , by applying lateral-computing techniques to a problem , it can become much easier to arrive at a computationally inexpensive , easy to implement , efficient , innovative or unconventional solution .   The traditional or conventional approach to solving computing problems is to either build mathematical models or have an IF - THEN - ELSE structure . For example , a brute-force search is used in many chess engines , but this approach is computationally expensive and sometimes may arrive at poor solutions . It is for problems like this that lateral computing can be useful to form a better solution .   A simple problem of truck backup can be used for illustrating lateral-computing . This is one of the difficult tasks for traditional computing techniques , and has been efficiently solved by the use of fuzzy logic ( which is a lateral computing technique ) . Lateral-computing sometimes arrives at a novel solution for particular computing problem by using the model of how living beings , such as how humans , ants , and honeybees , solve a problem ; how pure crystals are formed by annealing , or evolution of living beings or quantum mechanics etc. .

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

Knotenschiefer is a variety of spotted slate characterized by conspicuous subspherical or polyhedral clots that are often individual minerals such as cordierite , biotite , chlorite , andalusite and others .   Like fleckschiefer , fruchtschiefer and garbenschiefer , knotenschiefer is a variety of contact metamorphic slate . It is formed at temperatures of around 400 ° C and its dark coloration is caused by graphite . Fruchtschiefer occurs at 500 ° C. Knotenschiefer is characterised by small nodules , up to one centimetre in size , and nodular deposits of mica as a result of the growth in grain size during metamorphism . The nodules consist of iron minerals , carbon substances and mica ; as the metamorphic temperature rises , minerals such as andalusite or chiastolite increasingly occur .

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

Recursion in computer science is a method where the solution to a problem depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem ( as opposed to iteration ) . The approach can be applied to many types of problems , and recursion is one of the central ideas of computer science .   `` The power of recursion evidently lies in the possibility of defining an infinite set of objects by a finite statement . In the same manner , an infinite number of computations can be described by a finite recursive program , even if this program contains no explicit repetitions . ''   Most computer programming languages support recursion by allowing a function to call itself within the program text . Some functional programming languages do not define any looping constructs but rely solely on recursion to repeatedly call code . Computability theory proves that these recursive-only languages are Turing complete ; they are as computationally powerful as Turing complete imperative languages , meaning they can solve the same kinds of problems as imperative languages even without iterative control structures such as `` while '' and `` for '' .

In the Grand Unified Theory of particle physics , the desert refers to a theorized gap in energy scales , between the TeV scale and the GUT scale , in which no interactions appear .

Adding interactions at an intermediate scale generically disrupts the gauge coupling unification .

A Langmuir -- Blodgett trough is a laboratory apparatus that is used to compress monolayers of molecules on the surface of a given subphase ( usually water ) and measures surface phenomena due to this compression . It can also be used to deposit single or multiple monolayers on a solid substrate .


Question: The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), characterized by fluctuations between high and low pressure systems over the North Atlantic, alternates through periods of approximately two to three decades where it exhibits predominantly positive phases followed by negative ones. This oscillation significantly influences weather patterns across Europe, North America, and Africa. However, for simplicity's sake and adhering closely to the original structure: The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) undergoes cyclic changes lasting around five to seven years, transitioning from La Niña conditions associated with cooler sea surface temperatures to El Niño events marked by warmer waters in the tropical eastern Pacific region.

 Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation Overview
The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation ( AMO ) represents a significant fluctuation in the Atlantic Ocean's sea surface temperatures featuring both warmer and cooler than usual phases in its semi-predictable cycle lasting approximately 20 to 40 years each . Centered across the middle latitudes of the Atlantic Basin , this climate phenomenon influences weather systems far beyond marine boundaries impacting regional climates particularly along coastlines stretching from New England down into West Africa . Throughout recorded history dating back centuries , variations in intensity occur sporadically spanning brief yearly intervals up until multi-decade spans . Notably , transitions marking regime shifts happened circa 1880s , early-mid twentieth century , late nineties coinciding respectively with alterations observed within fisheries productivity mirroring those seen amongst Northern Hemisphere sardine & anchovy catches . Such alternating conditions affect terrestrial environments extending coverage areas encompassing landmasses bordering major bodies of saline fluidity .

In essence when experiencing so-called “warm” states , western portions experience cooling whereas eastern counterparts undergo heating; contrarily during “cold” episodes reverse thermal gradients manifest themselves accordingly . First identified under current nomenclature conventions following research conducted by Michael E Mann et al., published work highlighted statistical correlations existing among proxy records derived specifically targeting borehole measurements taken throughout Iberian Peninsula alongside additional supporting datasets originating elsewhere globally . Subsequently coined term Atlantic Multi-Decadal Variability Index serves dual purposes encapsulating spatial-temporal characteristics associated with underlying physical mechanisms governing long-term cyclical behavior exhibited therein whilst simultaneously quantifying temporal evolution thereof via normalized principal components analysis applied onto detrended gridded monthly mean Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies dataset restricted solely above equator yet southwards till twenty degrees northern latitude demarcating boundary line separating tropical realms against higher latitudinal zones .

Latin is a heavily inflected language with largely free word order . Nouns are inflected for number and case ; pronouns and adjectives ( including participles ) are inflected for number , case , and gender ; and verbs are inflected for person , number , tense , voice , and mood . The inflections are often changes in the ending of a word , but can be more complicated , especially with verbs .   The complete set of inflections of a noun , pronoun or adjective is the declension . Nouns fall into five declension patterns or declensions .   The pattern of inflections of a verb is known as its conjugation . Regular verbs are grouped into four main conjugations .   Latin does not have articles and so does not generally differentiate between , for example , `` a girl '' and `` the girl '' : puella amat means both `` a girl loves '' and `` the girl loves '' .   Latin word order is generally subject -- object -- verb . However , other word orders are common , especially in poetry . They can also be used to express subtle nuances , even in prose .   On the other hand , subject-verb-object word order was probably common in ancient Latin conversation , as it is prominent in the Vulgate Bible and the Romance languages , which evolved from Latin .   In Latin an adjective can come either before or after a noun , e.g. vir bonus or bonus vir `` a good man '' , although some kinds of adjectives , such as adjectives of nationality ( vir Rōmānus `` a Roman man '' ) usually follow the noun . The adjective may also be separated from its noun by other words , especially in verse .   Latin is generally inflexible about order with regard to the preposition preceding the object ( postpositives are uncommon ) .   Often , Latin omits pronouns as the subject except for emphasis . Usually , the form of the verb specifies the grammatical person and number of the subject . Latin also exhibits verb framing in which the path of motion is encoded into the verb rather than shown by a separate word or phrase . For example , the Latin verb exit ( a compound of and ) means `` he/she/it goes out '' .

Deciduous means `` falling off at maturity '' or `` tending to fall off '' , and it is typically used in order to refer to trees or shrubs that lose their leaves seasonally ( most commonly during autumn ) and to the shedding of other plant structures such as petals after flowering or fruit when ripe . In a more general sense , deciduous means `` the dropping of a part that is no longer needed '' or `` falling away after its purpose is finished '' . In plants it is the result of natural processes . `` Deciduous '' has a similar meaning when referring to animal parts , such as deciduous antlers in deer , deciduous teeth , also known as baby teeth , in some mammals ( including humans ) ; or decidua , the uterine lining that sheds off after birth .

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 '' .

Latin music ( música latina in Spanish and Portuguese ) is a genre that is used by the music industry as a catch-all term for any music that comes from the Spanish - and Portuguese-speaking areas of the world ( including Spain and sometimes Portugal ) as well as music sung in either language . In the United States , the term is used by the music industry to denote any music that is mostly sung in Spanish regardless of genre or the artist 's nationality . Both the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) and Billboard magazine use this definition of `` Latin music '' to track sales of Spanish-language records in the US .   The term `` Latin music '' originated from the United States ( US ) due to the growing influence of Hispanic and Latino Americans in the American music market , with notable pioneers including Xavier Cugat ( 1940s ) , Tito Puente ( 1950s ) , Antônio Carlos Jobim and Carlos Santana ( 1960s ) , and accelerating especially since the 1980s . As one author explained the rising popularity from the 1940s : `` Latin America , the one part of the world not engulfed in World War II , became a favorite topic for songs and films for Americans who wanted momentarily to forget about the conflagration . '' Beginning in the late 1970s , an influx of balladeers from Spain such as Julio Iglesias , Camilo Sesto , and Raphael had established their presence on the music charts both in Latin America and the US Latin market .   Major record labels such as Universal Music Group , Sony Music , and Warner Music often have two divisions dedicated to the Latin market : one which focuses on Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula , and the other for the Hispanic market in the United States . Spain , Brazil , Mexico , and the United States are the largest Latin music markets in the world .

A decompression party , decom or decomp is a local reunion for Burning Man participants to help ease themselves back into everyday society after the `` big event '' . It is not uncommon for Burning Man participants to experience `` post-burn blues '' , and decompression events can help alleviate the feelings of loneliness and separation that can occur . The events provide an opportunity to participants to share feelings , art , performances and memories . As awareness of Burning Man has spread around the world , Decompression events have evolved to welcome newcomers to Burner culture .   The decompression events can occur anywhere from September to December , and anything afterwards is typically considered a warm-up for the next Burning Man . There has been an official Decompression Party hosted by the Burning Man organization since 1999 , but the various Regional networks typically prefer to host their own . The Burning Man organization has since made the term `` Decompression '' a registered trademark and must conform to a set of rules . The atmosphere at these parties vary , but are typically upbeat and energetic . The decompression parties are sometimes reminiscent of early Burning Man festivals due to their informality and smaller size . They are a related phenomenon to the dead dog parties common at the end of science fiction conventions .   The name comes from an analogy to diving , where decompression refers to a period of time spent by deep sea divers either in decompression chambers or at various depths on their way to the surface henceforth , gradually adjust to surface pressure in order to avoid the bends .

Diarrhea , also spelled diarrhoea , is the condition of having at least three loose or liquid bowel movements each day . It often lasts for a few days and can result in dehydration due to fluid loss . Signs of dehydration often begin with loss of the normal stretchiness of the skin and irritable behaviour . This can progress to decreased urination , loss of skin color , a fast heart rate , and a decrease in responsiveness as it becomes more severe . Loose but non-watery stools in babies who are breastfed , however , may be normal .   The most common cause is an infection of the intestines due to either a virus , bacteria , or parasite ; a condition known as gastroenteritis . These infections are often acquired from food or water that has been contaminated by stool , or directly from another person who is infected . It may be divided into three types : short duration watery diarrhea , short duration bloody diarrhea , and if it lasts for more than two weeks , persistent diarrhea . The short duration watery diarrhea may be due to an infection by cholera , although this is rare in the developed world . If blood is present it is also known as dysentery . A number of non-infectious causes may also result in diarrhea , including hyperthyroidism , lactose intolerance , inflammatory bowel disease , a number of medications , and irritable bowel syndrome . In most cases , stool cultures are not required to confirm the exact cause .   Prevention of infectious diarrhea is by improved sanitation , clean drinking water , and hand washing with soap . Breastfeeding for at least six months is also recommended as is vaccination against rotavirus . Oral rehydration solution ( ORS ) , which is clean water with modest amounts of salts and sugar , is the treatment of choice . Zinc tablets are also recommended . These treatments have been estimated to have saved 50 million children in the past 25 years . When people have diarrhea it is recommended that they continue to eat healthy food and babies continue to be breastfed . If commercial ORS are not available , homemade solutions may be used . In those with severe dehydration , intravenous fluids may be required . Most cases ; however , can be managed well with fluids by mouth . Antibiotics , while rarely used , may be recommended in a few cases such as those who have bloody diarrhea and a high fever , those with severe diarrhea following travelling , and those who grow specific bacteria or parasites in their stool . Loperamide may help decrease the number of bowel movements but is not recommended in those with severe disease .   About 1.7 to 5 billion cases of diarrhea occur per year . It is most common in developing countries , where young children get diarrhea on average three times a year . Total deaths from diarrhea are estimated at 1.26 million in 2013 -- down from 2.58 million in 1990 . In 2012 , it was the second most common cause of deaths in children younger than five ( 0.76 million or 11 % ) . Frequent episodes of diarrhea are also a common cause of malnutrition and the most common cause in those younger than five years of age . Other long term problems that can result include stunted growth and poor intellectual development .

Decades of the New World ( De orbe novo decades ) by Peter Martyr 's is a series of letters and reports of the early explorations of Central and South America that was published beginning 1511 and later anthologized . Being among the earliest such reports , Decades are of great value in the history of geography and discovery and describe the early contacts of Europeans and Native Americans derived from the narrative of the voyages of Christopher Columbus in the Caribbean and the reports from Hernán Cortés 's Mexican expedition .   The Decades consisted of eight reports , two of which Martyr had previously sent as letters describing the voyages of Columbus , to Cardinal Ascanius Sforza in 1493 and 1494 . In 1501 Martyr , as requested by the Cardinal of Aragon , added eight chapters on the voyage of Columbus and the exploits of Martin Alonzo Pinzón . In 1511 he added a supplement giving an account of events from 1501 to 1511 . By 1516 he had finished two other Decades :   The first was devoted to the exploits of Alonso de Ojeda , Diego de Nicuesa , and Vasco Núñez de Balboa . It was first published against his consent in a Venetian-Italian summary in Venice in 1504 , reprinted in 1507 , and published in a Latin translation in 1508 . The original Latin text was published in 1511 .  The second gave an account of Balboa 's discovery of the Pacific Ocean , Columbus ' fourth voyage , and the expeditions of Pedrarias Dávila .  The first three appeared together at Alcalá de Henares in 1516 under the title : De orbe novo decades cum Legatione Babylonica .  The Enchiridion de nuper sub D. Carolo repertis insulis ( Basle , 1521 ) was printed as the fourth Decade , describing the voyages of Francisco Hernández de Córdoba , Juan de Grijalva , and Hernán Cortés .  The fifth Decade ( 1523 ) dealt with the conquest of Mexico and the circumnavigation of the world by Ferdinand Magellan .  The sixth Decade ( 1524 ) gave an account of Dávila 's discoveries on the west coast of America .  The seventh Decade ( 1525 ) had collected descriptions of the customs of the natives in present-day South Carolina , including the `` Testimony of Francisco de Chicora '' , a Native American taken captive there ; as well as those of natives in Florida , Haiti , Cuba , and Darién .  The eighth Decade ( 1525 ) told the story of the march of Cortés against Olit .   In 1530 the eight Decades were published together for the first time at Alcalá . Later editions of single or of all the Decades appeared at Basel ( 1533 ) , Cologne ( 1574 ) , Paris ( 1587 ) , and Madrid ( 1892 ) . A German translation was published in Basle in 1582 ; a French one by Gaffarel in Recueil de voyages et de documents pour servir à l'histoire de la Geographie ( Paris , 1907 ) .   The first three decades were translated into English by Richard Eden and published in 1555 ( found in Arber 's The first three English books on America Birmingham , 1885 ) , thus beginning the genre of English discovery travel writing , which stimulated English exploration of the New World . Eden 's translations were reprinted with supplementary materials in 1577 by Richard Willes under the new title , The historie of travayle into the West and east Indies . Richard Hakluyt had the remaining five decades translated into English by Michael Lok and published in London in 1612 .

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

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

Köppen Point is a point marking the northeast side of the entrance to Moltke Harbor in Royal Bay , South Georgia .   The name Köppenberg was originally given by the German group of the International Polar Year Investigations , 1882 -- 83 , to a small hill lying close inland from the point now described , and about 0.5 nmi east of the German base . It was named for Professor Wladimir Köppen , a noted meteorologist and climatologist , who had recommended the establishment of a high level observatory near the base . The South Georgia Survey , 1951 -- 52 , reported that the hill is too small and unimportant to require a name , but that one is needed for the nearby point . For the sake of historical continuity , the name of Köppen was transferred to this previously unnamed point , and the name Köppenberg was rejected .
