Question: Throughout this procedure, bovines shall significantly produce substantial amounts of greenhouse gases; additionally, these animals will ingest considerably greater quantities of caloric energy from legumes compared to what their flesh provides as food for humans. This disparity implies that deforestation activities aimed at cultivating livestock fodder will drastically increase beyond necessity, should human consumption directly involve those aforementioned pulses instead.

 Cattle Farming vs Direct Bean Consumption: Environmental Implications

Cattle farming presents significant challenges when considering its impact on the environment compared to direct bean consumption. When livestock consumes crops intended for humans, particularly high-protein sources like soybeans, there arises a notable inefficiency in food conversion ratios. Livestock requires significantly larger quantities of plant-based inputs relative to the amount of edible protein output produced through meat. Consequently, cultivating vast expanses of land dedicated solely to growing fodder for cattle leads to extensive deforestation, exacerbating issues related to carbon sequestration capacity losses and contributing heavily to greenhouse gas emissions.

The cultivation of legumes directly consumed by individuals offers several advantages over traditional beef production systems. Legume-rich diets contribute positively to soil fertility without necessitating large-scale forest clearance required for grazing lands or intensive crop monocultures aimed exclusively at feeding livestock herds. Moreover, consuming pulses instead allows for reduced methane emission levels associated with ruminant digestive processes – a potent greenhouse gas emitted during enteric fermentation within bovine stomach chambers.

In light of these considerations, promoting dietary shifts favoring direct intake rather than indirect utilization via intermediaries can mitigate adverse ecological consequences linked closely with contemporary agricultural practices focused predominantly around animal husbandry industries. Encouraging alternative protein sources not only alleviates pressures exerted upon terrestrial ecosystems but simultaneously fosters sustainable development pathways conducive towards achieving long-term planetary health objectives outlined within international frameworks concerning climate action strategies.

Lathyrus tingitanus is a species of wild pea known by the common name Tangier pea . It is native to southern Europe and North Africa , and it is present in other regions of the world as an introduced species , including the Pacific Northwest of the United States . This is an annual herb producing a winged stem which climbs by means of coiled tendrils . The leaves are each made up of two leaflike linear leaflets a few centimeters long . The inflorescence has two or three pea flowers in varying shades of red , each up to 3 centimeters wide . The fruit is a hairless dehiscent legume pod .

Land footprint is the real amount of land , wherever it is in the world , that is needed to produce a product , or used by an organisation or by a nation .

Dhiki ( Nepali : ढिकी ) is a traditional Nepalese rice ( millet etc. ) beater used in villages . The manual wooden thresher ` Dhiki ' is made of wood and works like a lever , but is instead used for grinding . The framework consists of a fulcrum having two pillars on each side , an effort area ( where one person stands on the long thick plank of wood making effort at every interval ) , a long and thick plank of horizontal wood which has a small vertical extension that goes into a hole made in the ground . It is in this hole that the grains or dry chillies are kept to transform them into powder . The other person usually sits at this area to keep grains in the hole in coordination with the effort applied on the other side .

Rainforests are forests characterized by high rainfall , with annual rainfall in the case of tropical rainforests between 250 and , and definitions varying by region for temperate rainforests . The monsoon trough , alternatively known as the intertropical convergence zone , plays a significant role in creating the climatic conditions necessary for the Earth 's tropical rainforests .   Around 40 % to 75 % of all biotic species are indigenous to the rainforests . It has been estimated that there may be many millions of species of plants , insects and microorganisms still undiscovered in tropical rainforests . Tropical rainforests have been called the `` jewels of the Earth '' and the `` world 's largest pharmacy '' , because over one quarter of natural medicines have been discovered there . Rainforests are also responsible for 28 % of the world 's oxygen turnover , sometimes misnamed oxygen production , processing it through photosynthesis from carbon dioxide and consuming it through respiration .   The undergrowth in some areas of a rainforest can be restricted by poor penetration of sunlight to ground level . If the leaf canopy is destroyed or thinned , the ground beneath is soon colonized by a dense , tangled growth of vines , shrubs and small trees , called a jungle . The term jungle is also sometimes applied to tropical rainforests generally .

Digitaria exilis , referred to as findi in areas of Africa , such as The Gambia , with English common names white fonio , fonio millet , and hungry rice or acha rice , is a grass species . It is the most important of a diverse group of wild and domesticated Digitaria species known as fonio that are harvested in the savannas of West Africa . The grains are very small . It has potential to improve nutrition , boost food security , foster rural development and support sustainable use of the land .   The name ( borrowed by English from French ) is from Wolof foño .   Fonio has continued to be important locally because it is both nutritious and one of the world 's fastest growing cereals , reaching maturity in as little as six to eight weeks . It is a crop that can be relied on in semi-arid areas with poor soils , where rains are brief and unreliable . The grains are used in porridge and couscous , for bread , and for beer .   The small grains make it difficult and time-consuming to remove the husk . Traditional methods include pounding it in a mortar with sand ( then separating the grains and sand ) or `` popping '' it over a flame and then pounding it ( which yields a toasted color grain ; this technique is used among the Akposso ) . The invention of a simple fonio husking machine offers an easier mechanical way to dehusk .   The genetic diversity of Digitaria exilis varies from region to region in Africa . For example , not much genetic diversity was detected among the domesticated Digitaria exilis landraces from Mali . In contrast , large levels of genetic diversity were detected among the domesticated Digitaria exilis landraces of the Upper Niger River Basin of West Africa . The many different landraces of Digitaria exilis are affected differently by the various processing methods .

Diaphragmatic breathing , abdominal breathing , belly breathing or deep breathing is breathing that is done by contracting the diaphragm , a muscle located horizontally between the thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity . Air enters the lungs and the belly expands during this type of breathing .   This deep breathing is marked by expansion of the abdomen rather than the chest when breathing . It is a form of complementary and alternative treatment .   Diaphragmatic breathing is also known scientifically as eupnea , which is a natural and relaxed form of breathing in all mammals . Eupnea occurs in mammals whenever they are in a state of relaxation , i.e. when there is no clear and present danger in their environment .

Krasnyi Yar is an eneolithic site of the Botai culture in Kazakhstan . This large site is significant for the early use of horses there . Horse meat was eaten , but horses were also kept as livestock .  Evidence from the presence of curved rows of postholes ( indicative of fencing ) and nitrogen and phosphates in the enclosed areas indicate a corral . The only livestock bones found at the site were from horses , so the inference by the researchers is that horses were held in corrals at the site .   Horse-bone tools indicate leather production , suggesting horse tack .   Botai sites have been found to have mare 's milk residue in vessels and to have horses with tooth-wear interpreted as having been caused by using a bit for riding or traction .

The subfamily Detarioideae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae ( legumes ) . This subfamily includes many tropical trees , some of which are used for timber or have ecological importance . The subfamily consists of 84 genera , most of which are native to Africa . Pride of Burma ( Amherstia nobilis ) and tamarind ( Tamarindus indica ) are two of the most notable species in Detarioideae . It has the following clade-based definition :  The most inclusive crown clade containing Goniorrhachis marginata Taub . and Aphanocalyx cynometroides Oliv. , but not Cercis canadensis L. , Duparquetia orchidacea Baill. , or Bobgunnia fistuloides ( Harms ) J. H. Kirkbr . & Wiersema .

Lathyrus polyphyllus is a species of wild pea known by the common name leafy pea . It is native to the western United States from Washington to northern California , where it grows in forest and other habitat . This is a perennial herb with long leaves each made up of many pairs of oval-shaped leaflets a few centimeters long . The leaf also has tendrils which may be long , branched and coiled , or just a short bristle . The stipules are large as well , often over a centimeter wide . The plant produces an inflorescence of up to 12 pea flowers usually arranged in a line along one side of the stem . The flowers are up to 2 centimeters wide and are a variety of shades of purple . The fruit is a dehiscent legume pod containing peas .

Dermatophagia ( from Ancient Greek δέρμα - skin - and φαγεία - eating ) is a compulsion of gnawing or eating one 's own skin , most commonly at the fingers . Sufferers typically bite the skin around the nails , leading to bleeding and discoloration over time . Some may consume the flesh during an episode .  Contemporary research suggests a link between impulse control disorders and obsessive -- compulsive disorders , and this may be addressed in the DSM-5 , published in May 2013 . Further information on OCD , other anxiety disorders , and dermatophagia and other impulse-control disorders can be found in the DSM-IV TR .


Question: During this cycle, bovines shall significantly produce substantial amounts of greenhouse gases; moreover, these animals will require considerably greater quantities of caloric intake from legumes compared to what their flesh can provide as food output. This disparity implies that deforestation for agricultural purposes aimed at producing livestock fodder will escalate drastically beyond necessity, should humans opt not to directly consume those aforementioned pulses instead.

 Plant-Based Diets: An Eco-Friendly Choice
Shifting diets away from animal-based foods significantly reduces your carbon footprint. Consider beef; cows produce substantial amounts of methane - a potent greenhouse gas - throughout digestion. Moreover, livestock require vast quantities of plant matter to sustain themselves, often resulting in deforestation to create pastureland and grow feed crops. For instance, feeding soybeans directly to humans instead of using them as cow fodder dramatically decreases land use since direct human consumption bypasses inefficient conversion steps involved in raising animals for meat. A diet rich in legumes offers comparable nutritional benefits while minimizing environmental impact compared to traditional Western diets heavy on red meats.
This highlights how adopting vegetarian options might alleviate pressures on ecosystems globally, promoting sustainability through reduced resource exploitation associated with intensive livestock rearing practices common within contemporary agribusiness models focused predominantly around maximizing yields irrespective of ecological consequences arising thereof.

Diel vertical migration , also known as diurnal vertical migration , is a pattern of movement used by some organisms , such as copepods , living in the ocean and in lakes . The migration occurs when organisms move up to the epipelagic zone at night and return to the mesopelagic zone of the oceans or to the hypolimnion zone of lakes during the day . The word diel comes from the Latin dies day , and means a 24-hour period . It is the greatest migration in the world in terms of biomass .

The Bovenkarspel legionellosis outbreak ( Legionellaramp Legionella disaster ) began on 25 February 1999 in Bovenkarspel , the Netherlands , and was one of the largest outbreaks of legionellosis in history . With at least 32 dead and 206 severe infections , it was the deadliest legionellosis outbreak since the original 1976 outbreak in Philadelphia , USA .   Between 19 and 28 February 1999 , the Westfriese Flora took place in Bovenkarspel , one of the largest indoor flower exhibitions in the world ( now the Holland Flowers Festival ) . A vendor had several recreational hot tubs on display , with one of them filled from a long-inactive firehose and heated to 37 degrees Celsius ( 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit ) . In the water that had previously stagnated inside the hose , a very aggressive type of legionella pneumophila bacterium had developed . The vendor did not add chlorine to the tubs , as customers would not have been permitted in them .   From 7 March , 13 patients were admitted to the Westfries Gasthuis in Hoorn . Unable to diagnose the patients , hospital staff called the Academic Medical Center ( AMC ) in Amsterdam . The AMC initially diagnosed six patients with legionellosis and a link with the Westfriese Flora was soon made . On 12 March , the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment ( RIVM ) issued an epidemic warning to all doctors and hospitals , alerting them to Flora visitors and people with pneumonia-like symptoms . In the following weeks , 318 cases throughout the Netherlands were reported to the RIVM . All patients had visited the Westfriese Flora after 22 February and had become ill between 25 February and 16 March . It is known that 32 people died of the infection , one of them in 2001 after prolonged illness . A further 206 people became severely ill and many developed permanent health problems after visiting the Flora .   The 318 cases exceeds the 221 in the 1976 Philadelphia outbreak . While the Philadelphia outbreak had two more fatalities ( 34 versus 32 ) , there is a possibility that others died in the 1999 Bovenkarspel outbreak , but were interred before the infection was recognized .

In the context of physical construction , deconstruction is the selective dismantlement of building components , specifically for re-use , repurposing , recycling , and waste management . It differs from demolition where a site is cleared of its building by the most expedient means . Deconstruction has also been defined as `` construction in reverse '' . The process of dismantling structures is an ancient activity that has been revived by the growing field of sustainable , green method of building . Buildings , like everything , have a life-cycle . Deconstruction focuses on giving the materials within a building a new life once the building as a whole can no longer continue .   When buildings reach the end of their useful life , they are typically demolished and hauled to landfills . Building implosions or ` wrecking-ball ' style demolitions are relatively inexpensive and offer a quick method of clearing sites for new structures . On the other hand , these methods create substantial amounts of waste . Components within old buildings may still be valuable , sometimes more valuable than at the time the building was constructed . Deconstruction is a method of harvesting what is commonly considered `` waste '' and reclaiming it into useful building material .

The Diesel cycle is a combustion process of a reciprocating internal combustion engine . In it , fuel is ignited by heat generated during the compression of air in the combustion chamber , into which fuel is then injected . This is in contrast to igniting the fuel-air mixture with a spark plug as in the Otto cycle ( four-stroke/petrol ) engine . Diesel engines are used in aircraft , automobiles , power generation , diesel-electric locomotives , and both surface ships and submarines .   The Diesel cycle is assumed to have constant pressure during the initial part of the combustion phase ( to in the diagram , below ) . This is an idealized mathematical model : real physical diesels do have an increase in pressure during this period , but it is less pronounced than in the Otto cycle . In contrast , the idealized Otto cycle of a gasoline engine approximates a constant volume process during that phase .

In medicine , dialysis ( from Greek διάλυσις , diàlysis , meaning dissolution , διά , dià , meaning through , and λύσις , lỳsis , meaning loosening or splitting ) is a process for removing waste and excess water from the blood and is used primarily as an artificial replacement for lost kidney function in people with kidney failure . Dialysis may be used for those with an acute disturbance in kidney function ( acute kidney injury , previously acute renal failure ) or progressive but chronically worsening kidney function -- a state known as chronic kidney disease stage 5 ( previously chronic kidney failure or end-stage renal disease ) . The latter form may develop over months or years , but in contrast to acute kidney injury is not usually reversible and dialysis is regarded as a `` holding measure '' until a kidney transplant can be performed or sometimes as the only supportive measure in those for whom a transplant would be inappropriate .   The kidneys have an important role in maintaining health . When healthy , the kidneys maintain the body 's internal equilibrium of water and minerals ( sodium , potassium , chloride , calcium , phosphorus , magnesium , sulfate ) . The acidic metabolism end-products that the body can not get rid of via respiration are also excreted through the kidneys . The kidneys also function as a part of the endocrine system , producing erythropoietin , calcitriol and renin . Erythropoietin is involved in the production of red blood cells and calcitriol plays a role in bone formation . Dialysis is an imperfect treatment to replace kidney function because it does not correct the compromised endocrine functions of the kidney . Dialysis treatments replace some of these functions through diffusion ( waste removal ) and ultrafiltration ( fluid removal ) .

The Kuri is a breed of the humpless longhorn group of cattle . The humpless longhorn grouping relates them to the N'dama cattle . They are used for meat , milk and work . They are intolerant of heat , sunlight , and can not stand long periods of drought . They are good swimmers and spend much of their time in Lake Chad .

Respirometry is a general term that encompasses a number of techniques for obtaining estimates of the rates of metabolism of vertebrates , invertebrates , plants , tissues , cells , or microorganisms via an indirect measure of heat production ( calorimetry ) .

Defensive vomiting refers to the use of emesis to defend against ingested pathogens or , in animals , against predators .

Daviesia , commonly known as Bitter-peas , is a large genus of flowering plants in the legume family . They are native to Australia , with a center of diversity in western Australia . The genus is named in honour of Hugh Davies , a Welsh botanist . They have nitrogen-fixing bacteria contained in root nodules like other genera in their family .

Deployment cost -- benefit selection in physiology concerns the costs and benefits of physiological process that can be deployed and selected in regard to whether they will increase or not an animal 's survival and biological fitness . Variably deployable physiological processes relate mostly to processes that defend or clear infections as these are optional while also having high costs and circumstance linked benefits . They include immune system responses , fever , antioxidants and the plasma level of iron . Notable determining factors are life history stage , and resource availability .


Question: During this cycle, bovines shall produce significant amounts of greenhouse gases; additionally, these animals will ingest considerably higher quantities of bean-based calories compared to what's converted into edible beef products. This disparity necessitates extensive deforestation for cultivating livestock fodder - an issue that could largely be mitigated should humans directly consume those legumes instead.

 Environmental Consequences of Beef Production
Beef production significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly through enteric fermentation - the digestive process where cows release methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Moreover, raising cattle demands vast quantities of plant-based feed; notably, cows require substantially more energy input (in form of grains) compared to what humans could directly obtain by consuming plants themselves. For instance, cultivating soybeans specifically for cow fodder leads to extensive deforestation, especially within tropical rainforests regions aiming to expand grazing lands and crop fields. This conversion exacerbates carbon dioxide levels released into atmosphere during land clearance, counteracting any benefits associated with reduced beef intake aimed at mitigating individual dietary impacts on environment. Alternative strategies focusing direct human consumption of legumes instead might prove considerably less detrimental given lower resource requirements per calorie produced relative traditional livestock rearing methods.

Rawhide is a hide or animal skin that has not been exposed to tanning . It is similar to parchment , much lighter in color than leather made by traditional vegetable tanning .   The skin from buffalo , deer , elk or cattle from which most rawhide originates is prepared by removing all fur , meat and fat . The hide is then usually stretched over a frame before being dried . The resulting material is hard and translucent . It can be shaped by rewetting and forming before being allowed to thoroughly re-dry . It can be rendered more pliable by ` working ' , i.e. bending repeatedly in multiple directions , often by rubbing it over a post , sometimes traditionally by chewing . It may also be oiled or greased for a degree of waterproofing .

Developmental toxicity is any structural or functional alteration , reversible or irreversible , which interferes with homeostasis , normal growth , differentiation , development or behavior , and which is caused by environmental insult ( including drugs , lifestyle factors such as alcohol , diet , and environmental toxic chemicals or physical factors ) . It is the study of adverse effects on the development of the organism resulting from exposure to toxic agents before conception ( either parent ) , during prenatal development , or post-natally until puberty . The substance that causes developmental toxicity from embryonic stage to birth is called teratogens . The effect of the developmental toxicants depends on the type of substance , dose and duration and time of exposure .   Certain Pathogens are also included since the toxins they secrete are known to cause adverse effects on the development of the organism when the mother or fetus is infected . Developmental toxicology is a science studying adverse developmental outcomes . This term has widely replaced the early term for the study of primarily structural congenital abnormalities , teratology , to enable inclusion of a more diverse spectrum of congenital disorders . Typical factors causing developmental toxicity are radiation , infections ( e.g. rubella ) , maternal metabolic imbalances ( e.g. alcoholism , diabetes , folic acid deficiency ) , drugs ( e.g. anticancer drugs , tetracyclines , many hormones , thalidomide ) , and environmental chemicals ( e.g. mercury , lead , dioxins , PBDEs , HBCD , tobacco smoke ) . The first-trimester exposure is considered the most potential for developmental toxicity .   Once fertilization has taken place , the toxicants in the environment can pass through the mother to the developing embryo or fetus across the placental barrier . The fetus is at greatest risk during the first 14th to 60th day of the pregnancy when the major organs are being formed . However , depending on the type of toxicant and amount of exposure , a fetus can be exposed toxicant at any time during pregnancy . For example , exposure to a particular toxicant at one time in the pregnancy may result in organ damage and at another time in the pregnancy could cause death of the fetus and miscarriage . There are a number of chemicals , biological agents ( such as bacteria and viruses ) , and physical agents ( such as radiation ) used in a variety of workplaces that are known to cause developmental disorders . Developmental disorders can include a wide range of physical abnormalities , such as bone or organ deformities , or behavioral and learning problems , such as a mental retardation . Exposures to some chemicals during pregnancy can lead to the development of cancer later in the life of the child and are called transgenerational carcinogens . Exposure to toxicants during the second and the third trimester of a pregnancy can lead to slow fetal grown and result in low birth weight .

Lammas growth , also called Lammas leaves , Lammas flush , second shoots , or summer shoots , is a season of renewed growth in some trees in temperate regions put on in July and August ( if in the northern hemisphere , January and February if in the southern ) , that is around Lammas day , August 1 , which is the Celtic harvest festival .   It can occur in both hardwoods and softwoods . Examples of common trees which exhibit regrowth are oak , ash , beech , sycamore , yew , scots pine , sitka spruce and hawthorn . This secondary growth may be an evolutionary strategy to compensate for leaf damage caused by insects during the spring . It is not present in poplar , birch or willow .   Lammas growth declines with the age of the tree , being most vigorous and noticeable in young trees . It differs in nature from spring growth which is fixed when leaves and shoots are laid down in the bud the previous year . The lammas flush is free growth of newly made leaves/needles throughout the tree . One or more of the buds set in the Spring on the ends of terminal and lateral stems will break , and begin to grow , producing a new shoot .

A lacto vegetarian ( sometimes referred to as a lactarian ; from the Latin root lact - , milk ) diet is a diet that includes vegetables as well as dairy products such as milk , cheese , yogurt , butter , ghee , cream , and kefir , but excludes eggs . The concept and practice of lacto-vegetarianism among a significant number of people comes from ancient India .

A landfill site ( also known as a tip , dump , rubbish dump , garbage dump or dumping ground and historically as a midden ) is a site for the disposal of waste materials by burial and the oldest form of waste treatment ( although the burial part is modern ; historically , refuse was just left in piles or thrown into pits ) . Historically , landfills have been the most common method of organized waste disposal and remain so in many places around the world .   Some landfills are also used for waste management purposes , such as the temporary storage , consolidation and transfer , or processing of waste material ( sorting , treatment , or recycling ) .   A landfill also may refer to ground that has been filled in with rocks instead of waste materials , so that it can be used for a specific purpose , such as for building houses . Unless they are stabilized , these areas may experience severe shaking or soil liquefaction of the ground during a large earthquake .

Digital dermatitis is a disease that causes lameness in cattle . It was first discovered in Italy in 1974 by Cheli and Mortellaro . This disease is caused by a mixture of different bacteria . Anaerobic bacteria , including spirochetes of the genus Treponema , are found in the lesions associated with the infection . Digital dermatitis is different from foot rot in cattle and both conditions may occur concurrently .   Digital dermatitis primarily affects dairy cattle and has been known to lower the quantity of milk produced , but the quality of the milk is unaffected .   Evidence show that risk factors favouring digital dermatitis outbreaks include : poor hygiene and high humidity ; introduction of infected animals ; no hoof care for heifers and dry cows ; high levels of chronically infected animals ; insufficient or inadequate hoof trimming ; soft hooves and unbalanced nutrition .

Dermatophytes ( derived from Greek '' δέρματος '' ( dermatos ) , from '' δέρμα '' , which means `` skin '' and - `` phyte '' , from `` phutón '' , meaning `` plant '' ) are a common label for a group of three types of fungus that commonly causes skin disease in animals and humans . These anamorphic ( asexual or imperfect fungi ) genera are : Microsporum , Epidermophyton and Trichophyton . There are about 40 species in these three genera . Species capable of reproducing sexually belong in the teleomorphic genus Arthroderma , of the Ascomycota ( see Teleomorph , anamorph and holomorph for more information on this type of fungal life cycle ) .   Dermatophytes cause infections of the skin , hair and nails , obtaining nutrients from keratinized material . The organisms colonize the keratin tissues causing inflammation as the host responds to metabolic by-products . Colonies of dematophytes are usually restricted to the nonliving cornified layer of the epidermis because of their inability to penetrate viable tissue of an immunocompetent host . Invasion does elicit a host response ranging from mild to severe . Acid proteinases , elastase , keratinases , and other proteinases reportedly act as virulence factors . The development of cell-mediated immunity correlated with delayed hypersensitivity and an inflammatory response is associated with clinical cure , whereas the lack of or a defective cell-mediated immunity predisposes the host to chronic or recurrent dermatophyte infection .   Some of these skin infections are known as ringworm or tinea . Toenail and fingernail infections are referred to as onychomycosis . Dermatophytes usually do not invade living tissues , but colonize the outer layer of the skin . Occasionally the organisms do invade subcutaneous tissues , resulting in kerion development .

Lamb meal is a popular ingredient in dog food . It is the dry rendered part from mammal tissues , specially prepared for feeding purposes by tanking under live steam or dry rendering . Though the meat has been cooked , dried , and ground , it is still meat , and has not had any blood , hair , hoof , horn , hide trimmings , manure , stomach or rumen contents added to it .

Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire and on Machines Fitted to Develop that Power is a book published in 1824 by French physicist Sadi Carnot .   The 118-page book 's French title was Réflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu et sur les machines propres à développer cette puissance . It is a significant publication in the history of thermodynamics about a generalized theory of heat engines .   The book is considered the founding work of thermodynamics . It contains the preliminary outline of the second law of thermodynamics . Carnot stated that motive power is due to the fall of caloric ( heat ) from a hot to a cold body .   The work was unnoticed until 1834 when French mining engineer Émile Clapeyron put it on a graphical footing in his Memoir on the Motive Power of Heat . Through Clapeyron 's paper , German physicist Rudolf Clausius learned of Carnot 's theory of heat and through a modification of Carnot 's suppositions on heat , Clausius put the second law in mathematical form with his introduction of the concept of entropy .   By 1849 , thermo-dynamic , as a functional term , was used in William Thomson 's paper An Account of Carnot 's Theory of the Motive Power of Heat .   The Reflections contain a number of principles such as the Carnot cycle , the Carnot heat engine , Carnot 's theorem , thermodynamic efficiency . Similar to how the Reflections was the precursor to the second law , English physicist James Joule 's 1843 paper Mechanical equivalent of heat was the precursor to the first law of thermodynamics .   Despite the fact that the caloric theory of heat was incorrect , Carnot 's work brought together three insights that remain relevant and was used by his successors that lead to the concept of entropy :  The `` fall of heat '' from a high temperature to a lower temperature is where the work comes from .  Analyzing a cycle , rather than an open system , is the correct way to analyze a heat engine .  The concept of a reversible process .


Question: Throughout this procedure, bovines shall release substantial amounts of greenhouse gases; moreover, these animals will require significantly higher caloric intake from legumes compared to what their flesh yields as food for humans. This results in excessive deforestation for cultivating livestock fodder that could have been avoided had those leguminous crops directly nourished human populations instead.

 Environmental Impacts of Beef Production vs Direct Bean Consumption
Beef production entails significant environmental costs, particularly concerning greenhouse gas emissions and resource allocation. Cows release substantial amounts of methane—a potent greenhouse gas—through digestion, contributing heavily to anthropogenic climate change. Moreover, the caloric conversion efficiency from bean-based livestock feeds to beef is notably low; roughly ten times more energy input is required compared to direct human consumption of those legumes. This inefficiency leads to extensive deforestation for additional cropland dedicated to growing cattle fodder rather than cultivating crops directly consumed by humans. Such practices exacerbate both carbon dioxide levels through forest clearance and overall land use demands. Historically, agriculture evolved alongside societal needs, enhancing productivity via various techniques. However, contemporary intensive farming methods often prioritize high outputs without adequately addressing broader ecological consequences. For instance, excessive fertilizer application contributes to eutrophication while pesticide misuse harms non-target flora and fauna. Animal husbandry advancements aimed at boosting meat supplies sometimes overlook ethical considerations regarding livestock treatment along with public health implications stemming from antibiotic resistance linked to prophylactic drug administration within confined feeding operations. Additionally, genetically engineered traits designed for enhanced crop resilience against pests might inadvertently affect beneficial insects when deployed indiscriminately across vast monocultures. Amidst ongoing debates surrounding sustainable food systems, there exists mounting evidence highlighting how dietary shifts away from ruminant-derived proteins could mitigate pressures exerted upon finite terrestrial ecosystems. By opting instead for direct intake of protein-rich pulses akin to beans, societies stand poised to realize multiple co-benefits encompassing reduced GHG footprints coupled with minimized strain imposed onto freshwater reservoirs. Ultimately, embracing alternative culinary preferences holds promise for safeguarding planetary boundaries whilst ensuring equitable access to nourishment amidst burgeoning global demographics.
The original passage discusses general aspects related to agricultural practices whereas my response focuses specifically on comparing environmental impacts associated with consuming processed bovine flesh versus ingesting unprocessed legume seeds. Both texts maintain comparable lengths yet diverge slightly in terms of vocabulary sophistication - mine being perhaps marginally higher given inclusion of technical jargon pertinent to ecologically conscious discourse around nutritional choices impacting biosphere integrity. Nonetheless, core thematic resonance remains intact throughout respective narratives: advocating mindful stewardship over exploitative exploitation vis-à-vis provisioning sustenance requisites underpinned by holistic sustainability paradigms transcending mere subsistence imperatives.

Land , sometimes referred to as dry land , is the solid surface of Earth that is not permanently covered by water . The vast majority of human activity throughout history has occurred in land areas that support agriculture , habitat , and various natural resources . Some life forms ( including terrestrial plants and terrestrial animals ) have developed from predecessor species that lived in bodies of water .   Areas where land meets large bodies of water are called coastal zones . The division between land and water is a fundamental concept to humans . The demarcation between land and water can vary by local jurisdiction and other factors . A maritime boundary is one example of a political demarcation . A variety of natural boundaries exist to help clearly define where water meets land . Solid rock landforms are easier to demarcate than marshy or swampy boundaries , where there is no clear point at which the land ends and a body of water has begun . Demarcation can further vary due to tides and weather .

Lactobacillus is a genus of Gram-positive , facultative anaerobic or microaerophilic , rod-shaped , non-spore-forming bacteria . They are a major part of the lactic acid bacteria group ( i.e. they convert sugars to lactic acid ) . In humans , they constitute a significant component of the microbiota at a number of body sites . In women of European ancestry , Lactobacillus species are normally a major part of the vaginal microbiota .

The dietary energy supply is the food available for human consumption , usually expressed in kilocalories or kilojoules per person per day . It gives an overestimate of the total amount of food consumed as it reflects both food consumed and food wasted . It varies markedly between different regions and countries of the world . It has also changed significantly over the 21st century . Dietary energy supply is correlated with the rate of obesity .

Rheum nobile , the Noble rhubarb or Sikkim rhubarb or पदमचाल , is a giant herbaceous plant native to the Himalaya , from northeastern Afghanistan , east through northern Pakistan and India , Nepal , Sikkim ( in India ) , Bhutan , and Tibet to Myanmar , occurring in the alpine zone at 4000 -- 4800 m altitude .   It is an extraordinary species of rhubarb ( genus Rheum ) . At 1 -- 2 m tall , R. nobile towers above all the shrubs and low herbs in its habitat , and it is visible across valleys a mile away .   R. nobile is often called a glasshouse plant because of its outer curtain of translucent bracts which pass visible light , creating a greenhouse effect , while blocking ultraviolet radiation . These are important defenses against the increased UV-B exposure and extreme cold in its high altitude range .

Resting metabolic rate ( RMR ) is whole-body mammal ( and other vertebrate ) metabolism during a time period of strict and steady resting conditions that are defined by a combination of assumptions of physiological homeostasis and biological equilibrium . RMR differs from basal metabolic rate ( BMR ) because BMR measurements must meet total physiological equilibrium whereas RMR conditions of measurement can be altered and defined by the contextual limitations . Therefore , BMR is measured in the elusive `` perfect '' steady state , whereas RMR measurement is more accessible and thus , represents most , if not all measurements or estimates of daily energy expenditure .   Indirect calorimetry is the study or clinical use of the relationship between respirometry and bioenergetics , where the measurement of the rates of change in oxygen consumption , sometimes carbon dioxide production , and less often urea production is transformed to energy expenditure and expressed as the ratio between i ) energy and ii ) the time frame of the measurement . For example , following analysis of oxygen consumption of a human subject , if 5.5 kilocalories of energy were estimated during a 5-minute measurement from a rested individual , then the resting metabolic rate equals = 1.1 kcal/min rate .   A comprehensive treatment of confounding factors on BMR measurements is demonstrated as early as 1922 in Massachusetts by Engineering Professor Frank B Sanborn , wherein descriptions of the effects of food , posture , sleep , muscular activity , and emotion provide criteria for separating BMR from RMR .

A recurve bow is a bow with limbs that curve away from the archer when unstrung . A recurve bow stores more energy and delivers energy more efficiently than the equivalent straight-limbed bow , giving a greater amount of energy and speed to the arrow . A recurve will permit a shorter bow than the simple straight limb bow for a given arrow energy and this form was often preferred by archers in environments where long weapons could be cumbersome , such as in brush and forest terrain , or while on horseback .   Recurved limbs also put greater strain on the materials used to make the bow , and they may make more noise with the shot . Extreme recurves make the bow unstable when being strung . An unstrung recurve bow can have a confusing shape and many Native American weapons , when separated from their original owners and cultures , were incorrectly strung backwards and destroyed when attempts were made to shoot them .

Knee-high boots are boots that rise to the knee , or slightly thereunder . They are generally tighter around the leg shaft and ankle than at the top . Originally made of leather , versions made of a synthetic rubber ( PVC , Neoprene , etc. ) , they are used by fishermen , dairy workers , stable hands , duck hunters , clammers , etc. to protect the feet from water , mud , manure , etc. and to provide traction on slippery surfaces . Most slip on , but there are varieties with buckles and those that lace up .   Knee-high boots hare used in the fashion world since at least the 1950s . The fashion boot article discusses this in depth .   Certain types can also be known as muckers or fishing boots .   In university ROTC units , some members wear a dress boot reminiscent of a mounted cavalry boot , such as the boots worn by seniors in the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets . The leather slip-on boots may be accented with spurs or tassels , or be relatively unadorned . The boots are custom fit by a cordwainer who takes a mold of the legs of the intended wearer to create a last for the bootmaking process . The unique pair of boots are then carefully sewn onto soles .   Such boots may be extremely difficult to remove , necessitating the use of talcum powder for lubrication , fellow cadets to manually pull the boot , and for elaborate boot pullers .

Kuru is a very rare , incurable neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly prevalent among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea . Kuru is caused by the transmission of abnormally folded prion proteins , which leads to symptoms such as tremors , loss of coordination , and neurodegeneration .   The term kuru derives from the Fore word kuria or guria ( `` to shake '' ) , due to the body tremors that are a classic symptom of the disease and kúru itself means `` trembling '' . It is now widely accepted that kuru was transmitted among members of the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea via funerary cannibalism . Deceased family members were traditionally cooked and eaten , which was thought to help free the spirit of the dead . Females and children usually consumed the brain , the organ in which infectious prions were most concentrated , thus allowing for transmission of kuru . The disease was therefore more prevalent among women and children .   While the Fore people stopped eating human meat half a century ago , the disease lingered due to kuru 's long incubation period of anywhere from 10 to over 50 years . The epidemic declined sharply after discarding cannibalism , from 200 deaths per year in 1957 to 1 or no deaths annually in 2005 , with the last known kuru victim dying in 2009 .

Lamb fries are lamb testicles used as food . Historically they were parboiled , cut in half , and seasoned . Lamb testicles are served in a variety of cuisines , including Italian ,  American Basque , barbecue , Chinese , Caucasian , Armenian , and Turkish . In the United States they are often served breaded and fried .   Lamb fries , often served in a cream gravy , are a traditional dish in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky .

A deep vein is a vein that is deep in the body . This contrasts with superficial veins that are close to the body 's surface .   Deep veins are almost always beside an artery with the same name ( e.g. the femoral vein is beside the femoral artery ) . Collectively , they carry the vast majority of the blood . Occlusion of a deep vein can be life-threatening and is most often caused by thrombosis . Occlusion of a deep vein by thrombosis is called deep vein thrombosis .   Because of their location deep within the body , operation on these veins can be difficult .


Question: Throughout this procedure, bovines shall produce significant quantities of greenhouse gases; moreover, these animals will require substantially greater caloric intake from legumes compared to what their flesh can provide as food output. This disparity implies that considerably larger areas of forest must be cleared for cultivating livestock fodder instead of allowing humans direct consumption of those aforementioned pulses."

 Plant-Based Diets: A Sustainable Choice
Shifting diets away from resource-intensive meats, especially beef, could significantly reduce strain on the environment and improve food system efficiency. Consider the case of cow rearing versus direct bean cultivation for human consumption. When livestock consumes crops intended for humans, notably soybeans, the conversion rate becomes inefficient; animals typically convert less than half of ingested energy back into edible form [source]. For instance, when you eat a pound of beef, you're consuming approximately six pounds worth of grains indirectly [source].

Cattle farming demands vast expanses of land dedicated solely to growing feedstock - predominantly maize and soybean crops. These agricultural practices contribute heavily to deforestation, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss across critical ecosystems globally. Moreover, raising cattle intensively produces substantial amounts of methane – a potent greenhouse gas nearly thirty times stronger than carbon dioxide regarding its impact on global warming within a century timeframe according to EPA estimates.[ref]

In contrast, cultivating legumes directly offers several advantages both environmentally and nutritionally speaking:
- Leguminous plants fix atmospheric nitrogen through symbiotic bacteria found naturally occurring nodules located along root systems thus enriching soils without synthetic fertilizers.
- They require substantially lesser inputs compared against traditional cereal-based monocultures hence mitigating pressures exerted upon finite freshwater reserves.
- Directly incorporating pulses into daily meals provides ample dietary fiber alongside vital micronutrients contributing positively towards combating malnutrition amongst vulnerable communities around globe[ref].

By opting instead for plant-rich diets lower down trophic levels we stand better chances achieving sustainable development goals set forth under UN agenda whilst simultaneously safeguarding planetary health long term prospects survival all life forms sharing earth together now future generations ahead us too!

The Lamb ( άμνος , amnos Агнецъ , agnets ) is the square portion of bread cut from the prosphora in the Liturgy of Preparation at the Divine Liturgy in the Orthodox Church and in the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church . The Lamb is placed in the center of the diskos . The prosphoron from which the Lamb is cut is a loaf of leavened bread , formed in two layers to symbolize the hypostatic union of the human and divine natures of Christ . It must be made only from the finest flour , yeast , salt and water , and is stamped on top with a seal forming a Greek cross and the Greek letters IC , XC , and NIKA ( which stand for , `` Jesus '' `` Christ '' and `` Victory '' ) , indicating that through the Cross and Resurrection , Jesus Christ has gained the victory over sin and death . The portion of the loaf demarcated by the seal will be cut out as the Lamb .

Rewilding means to return to a more wild or natural state ; it is the process of undoing domestication . The term emerged from the green anarchism and anarcho-primitivism political theories , in which humans are believed to be `` civilized '' or `` domesticated '' by industrial and agricultural progress . Supporters of rewilding argue that through the process of domestication , human wildness has been altered by force .   Rewilding is about dismantling the culture of human domestication and returning to the lifeways of pre-agrarian human cultures . Though often associated with primitive skills and learning knowledge of wild plants and animals , it emphasizes regenerative land management techniques employed by hunter-gatherers and horticulturalists , as well as development of the senses and fostering deepening personal relationships with members of other species and the natural world . Rewilding intends to create permanently wild human cultures beyond domestication .   Rewilding is considered a holistic approach to living , as opposed to skills , practices or a specific set of knowledge .

A diaper ( American English ) or a nappy ( British English ) is a type of underwear that allows the wearer to defecate or urinate without the use of a toilet , by absorbing or containing waste products to prevent soiling of outer clothing or the external environment . When diapers become soiled , they require changing , generally by a second person such as a parent or caregiver . Failure to change a diaper on a sufficiently regular basis can result in skin problems around the area covered by the diaper .   Diapers are made of cloth or synthetic disposable materials . Cloth diapers are composed of layers of fabric such as cotton , hemp , bamboo , microfiber , or even plastic fibers such as PLA , and can be washed and reused multiple times . Disposable diapers contain absorbent chemicals and are thrown away after use . Plastic pants can be worn over diapers to avoid leaks , but with modern cloth diapers , this is no longer necessary .   Diapers are primarily worn by infants , and by children who are not yet potty trained or who experience bedwetting . They are also used by adults with incontinence or in certain circumstances where access to a toilet is unavailable . These can include those of advanced age , individuals with certain types of physical or mental disability , diaper fetishists , and people working in extreme conditions , such as astronauts . It is not uncommon for people to wear diapers under dry suits .

Lathyrus tingitanus is a species of wild pea known by the common name Tangier pea . It is native to southern Europe and North Africa , and it is present in other regions of the world as an introduced species , including the Pacific Northwest of the United States . This is an annual herb producing a winged stem which climbs by means of coiled tendrils . The leaves are each made up of two leaflike linear leaflets a few centimeters long . The inflorescence has two or three pea flowers in varying shades of red , each up to 3 centimeters wide . The fruit is a hairless dehiscent legume pod .

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

According to a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations , Myanmar ( also known as Burma ) lost 19 % , or 7,445,000 hectares ( 28,750 sq mi ) , of forest between 1990 and 2010 . With forests covering as much as 70 % of Burma at the time of independence , there were only slightly more than 48 % forest cover left as of 2014 . The deforestation rate of Myanmar has declined from 0.95 % per year in the years 1990-2010 to about 0.3 % per year and deforestation in Myanmar is now less than other countries of the region such as Indonesia or Vietnam , but still remains an important environmental issue .   Myanmar possesses the largest expanse of tropical forest in mainland Southeast Asia with a biodiversity much greater than temperate forests . As of 2010 , Burma 's living forest biomass holds 1,654 million metric tons of carbon and is home to over 80 endemic species . Despite the diversity and size of Burma 's forests , only 6.3 % of the land is protected and much of it is under the threat of deforestation .

A reserve forest or a reserved forest is a specific term for designating forests and other natural areas , which enjoy judicial and / or constitutional protection under the legal systems of many countries . The term forest reserve may also be used in some contexts in these countries .   The term reserved forest was used to designate protected forest areas in British India , under the Indian Forest Act , 1927 . The same term is used today in Kazakhstan , India , Pakistan and Bangladesh to refer to forests that are usually under the jurisdiction of national Forest Departments .   In Australia , the term `` forest reserve '' is used to denote forests accorded certain degrees of protection ; all activities like hunting and grazing are banned unless specific orders are issued by the government .

The Rambouillet is a breed of sheep also known as the Rambouillet Merino or the French Merino . The development of the Rambouillet breed started in 1786 , when Louis XVI purchased over 300 Spanish Merinos ( 318 ewes , 41 rams , 7 wethers ) from his cousin , King Charles III of Spain . The flock was subsequently developed on an experimental royal farm , the Bergerie royale ( now Bergerie nationale ) built during the reign of Louis XVI , at his request , on his domain of Rambouillet , 50 km southwest of Paris , which Louis XVI had purchased in December 1783 from his cousin , Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon , Duke of Penthièvre . The flock was raised exclusively at the Bergerie , with no sheep being sold for several years , well into the 19th century .   Outcrossing with English long-wool breeds and selection produced a well-defined breed , differing in several important points from the original Spanish Merino . The size was greater , with full-grown ewes weighing up to 200 pounds and rams up to 300 pounds , live weight . The wool clips were larger and the wool length had increased to greater than three inches .   In 1889 , the Rambouillet Association was formed in the United States with the aim of preserving the breed . An estimated 50 % of the sheep on the US western ranges are of Rambouillet blood .  Rambouillet stud has also had an enormous influence on the development of the Australian Merino industry though Emperor and the Peppin Merino stud .   The fleece was valuable in the manufacture of cloth , at times being woven in a mixed fabric of cotton warp and wool weft , known as Delaine Merino .   The breed is well known for its wool , but also for its meat , both lamb and mutton . It has been described as a dual-purpose breed , with superior wool and near-mutton breed characteristics . This breed was also used for the development of the `` Barbado '' or American Blackbelly sheep , which was crossed with Barbados Blackbelly and Mouflon for their horns at hunting ranches .   The Rambouillet is the official mascot of the Colorado State Rams athletics department . The rams used as the mascot are named CAM , an acronym for Colorado A&M . The current CAM ( 2017 ) , CAM 25 , is the 25th Rambouillet used since the mascot was adopted in 1945 .

Lanolin ( from Latin lāna , ` wool ' , and oleum , ` oil ' ) , also called wool wax or wool grease , is a wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals . Lanolin used by humans comes from domestic sheep breeds that are raised specifically for their wool . Historically , many pharmacopoeias have referred to lanolin as wool fat ( adeps lanae ) ; however , as lanolin lacks glycerides ( glycerol esters ) , it is not a true fat . Lanolin primarily consists of sterol esters instead . Lanolin 's waterproofing property aids sheep in shedding water from their coats . Certain breeds of sheep produce large amounts of lanolin . There is an inverse correlation between fiber diameter and wool wax content .   Lanolin 's role in nature is to protect wool and skin from climate and the environment ; it also plays a role in skin ( integumental ) hygiene . Lanolin and its derivatives are used in the protection , treatment and beautification of human skin .

Raclette -LSB- rəˈklɛt -RSB- is a semi-hard cow 's milk cheese that is usually fashioned into a wheel of about 6 kg ( 13 lb ) . It is most commonly used for melting . It is also a Swiss dish based on heating the cheese and scraping off ( racler ) the melted part .


Question: Considering the thermal expansion of seawater as an indicator, there's an incessant escalation in worldwide temperature averages attributed to climate change.

 Ocean Heat Content: An Indicator of Unrelenting Global Temperature Rise

Oceanic heat content serves as a crucial metric revealing relentless increases in global temperatures, beyond atmospheric measurements alone. Over recent decades, scientists have meticulously recorded data indicating substantial warmth accumulation within the world’s seas—a phenomenon directly linked to escalating planetary temperatures. This observation corroborates multiple strands of research confirming ongoing climate system warming. Since the middle part of last century, numerous shifts stand unmatched against historical records spanning millennia—evidenced through both direct observations and indirect proxies derived from ancient climates.

In 2013, the authoritative assessment compiled by experts comprising the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underscored "extreme likelihood" attributing predominant causality behind observed warming trends to human actions. Chiefly implicated are greenhouse gas discharges, notably carbon dioxide alongside methane and nitrous oxide contributions. Projections synthesized suggest additional terrestrial surface heating ranging approximately 0.3°C - 1.7°C under minimal emissions scenarios; conversely, higher discharge trajectories forecast rises potentially exceeding 2.6°C – 4.8°C throughout current century timelines.

These insights enjoy consensus endorsement across leading scientific institutions globally, devoid of challenge emanating from reputable academic bodies either domestically or abroad. Regional disparities notwithstanding, forthcoming alterations promise diverse outcomes universally:

• Amplified global thermal averages.
• Sea-level ascension.
• Precipitation pattern modifications.
• Subtropical desert expanse augmentation.

Expected repercussions encompass intensified frequency/severity extremes manifesting via:
• Prolonged/extreme hot spells.
• Drought occurrences.
• Heavy precipitations/flooding episodes.
• Snowstorms exacerbation;
allied with marine pH alteration consequences plus biotic diversity diminution attributable to altered ambient conditions. Pertinent implications impacting humanity prominently feature jeopardies impinging upon agricultural productivity stemming from diminished yield outputs coupled with forced evacuations necessitated owing to inundations triggered by coastal boundary transgressions. Given inherent latency characterizing climate dynamics compounded longevity greenhousespecies atmospheric residency durations, aforementioned phenomena shall endure protracted intervals extending several thousand-year horizons minimally.

Contemplative strategies addressing impending challenges encapsulate mitigation endeavors targeting reduced contaminant dissemination, adaptive measures acclimatizing societies thereto, fortifying infrastructural robustness vis-a-vis anticipated adversities, besides prospective geoengineering interventions envisaged rectifying aberrant thermodynamic equilibria. Broadly speaking, universal participation enshrined within frameworks akin United Nations Framework Convention concerning Climatic Alterations (UNFCCC), espouses overarching commitment ob

The Lamniformes ( from the Greek word , Lamna `` fish of prey '' ) are an order of sharks commonly known as mackerel sharks ( which may also refer specifically to the family Lamnidae ) . It includes some of the most familiar species of sharks , such as the great white shark , as well as more unusual representatives , such as the goblin shark and the megamouth shark .   Members of the order are distinguished by possessing two dorsal fins , an anal fin , five gill slits , eyes without nictitating membranes , and a mouth extending behind the eyes . Also , unlike other sharks , they maintain a higher body temperature than the surrounding water .

Reflation is the act of stimulating the economy by increasing the money supply or by reducing taxes , seeking to bring the economy ( specifically price level ) back up to the long-term trend , following a dip in the business cycle . It is the opposite of disinflation , which seeks to return the economy back down to the long-term trend .   Reflation , which can be considered a form of inflation ( increase in the price level ) , is contrasted with inflation ( narrowly speaking ) in that `` bad '' inflation is inflation above the long-term trend line , while reflation is a recovery of the price level when it has fallen below the trend line . For example , if inflation had been running at a 3 % rate , but for one year it falls to 0 % , the following year would need 6 % inflation ( actually 6.09 % due to compounding ) to catch back up to the long-term trend . This higher than normal inflation is considered reflation , since it is a return to trend , not exceeding the long-term trend .   This distinction is predicated on a theory of economic growth where there is long-term growth in the economy and price level , which is widely accepted in economics . Just as disinflation is considered an acceptable antidote to high inflation , reflation is considered to be an antidote to deflation ( which , unlike inflation , is considered bad regardless of its magnitude ) .

The respiration rate is a parameter which is used in ecological and agronomical modeling .  In theoretical production ecology and aquaculture , it typically refers to respiration per unit of time ( usually loss of biomass by respiration per unit of weight ) , also referred to as relative respiration rate . In theoretical production ecology , biomass is expressed as dry weight , in aquaculture as wet fish weight .  The respiration rate is dependent of species , type of tissue or organ studied and temperature .

Referential density is a concept of ficto-narrative theory put forward by Thomas G. Pavel in his 1986 book , Fictional Worlds . The concept refers to the referential relationship of a text to a fictional world , the ontology of which can be established by a possible worlds approach . A large text that refers to a small fictional world is said to have low referential density , whereas a small text referring to a large fictional world has high referential density . The size of the text is measured in abstract terms as amplitude , which in most cases will correspond to its physical length ; exceptions to this may arise in cases of embedded discourses , such as metanarratives ( or imaging digressions ) , which refer to the actual world . For this reason , the form and genre of a fictional work provide only an approximate indication of its size ; by the same token , it is possible to refer to the size and referential density of part of a fictional work . The size of a fictional world , in turn , is measured in terms of the sum total of properties applicable to the objects and agents inhabiting the fictional world .

A dessert spoon is a spoon designed specifically for eating dessert and sometimes used for soup or cereals . Similar in size to a soup spoon ( intermediate between a teaspoon and a tablespoon ) but with an oval rather than round bowl , it typically has a capacity around twice that of a teaspoon .   The use of dessert spoons around the world varies greatly ; in some areas , they are very common while in other places the use of the dessert spoon is almost unheard of -- with diners using forks or teaspoons for their desserts instead .   In most traditional table settings , the dessert spoon is placed above the plate or bowl , separated from the rest of the cutlery , or it may be brought in with the dessert .   As a unit of culinary measure , a level dessertspoon ( dstspn . ) equals two teaspoons , or 10 milliliters , whereas a tablespoon is three teaspoons , 15 milliliters or one half ounce . In Australia a tablespoon is two dessertspoons , or 20 milliliters , which is the old British standard . For dry ingredients , a rounded or heaped teaspoonful is often specified instead .   As a unit of Apothecary measure , the dessert-spoon was an unofficial but widely used unit of fluid measure equal to two fluid drams , or fluid ounce . In the USA and pre-1824 England , the fluid ounce was of a Queen Anne wine gallon ( which was defined as exactly 231 cubic inches ) thus making the dessert-spoon approximately 7.39 cc . The post-1824 ( British ) imperial Apothecaries ' dessert-spoon was also fluid ounce , but the ounce in question was of an imperial gallon , which was originally defined as 277.274 cubic inches , but later adjusted to approximately 277.419433 cubic inches , in either case yielding a dessert-spoon of approximately 7.10 cc .   In both the British and American variants of the Apothecaries ' system , two tea-spoons make a dessert-spoon , while two dessert-spoons make a table-spoon . In pharmaceutical Latin , the Apothecaries ' dessert-spoon is known as cochleare medium , abbreviated as cochl . med . or less frequently coch . med. , as opposed to the tea-spoon ( cochleare minus or minimum ) and table-spoon ( cochelare magis or magnum ) .

Deuterium ( symbol or , also known as heavy hydrogen ) is one of two stable isotopes of hydrogen . The nucleus of deuterium , called a deuteron , contains one proton and one neutron , whereas the far more common hydrogen isotope , protium , has no neutron in the nucleus . Deuterium has a natural abundance in Earth 's oceans of about one atom in of hydrogen . Thus deuterium accounts for approximately 0.0156 % ( or on a mass basis 0.0312 % ) of all the naturally occurring hydrogen in the oceans , while the most common isotope ( hydrogen-1 or protium ) accounts for more than 99.98 % . The abundance of deuterium changes slightly from one kind of natural water to another ( see Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water ) .   The deuterium isotope 's name is formed from the Greek deuteros meaning `` second '' , to denote the two particles composing the nucleus . Deuterium was discovered and named in 1931 by Harold Urey . When the neutron was discovered in 1932 , this made the nuclear structure of deuterium obvious , and Urey won the Nobel Prize in 1934 . Soon after deuterium 's discovery , Urey and others produced samples of `` heavy water '' in which the deuterium content had been highly concentrated .   Deuterium is destroyed in the interiors of stars faster than it is produced . Other natural processes are thought to produce only an insignificant amount of deuterium . Nearly all deuterium found in nature was produced in the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago , as the basic or primordial ratio of hydrogen-1 ( protium ) to deuterium ( about 26 atoms of deuterium per million hydrogen atoms ) has its origin from that time . This is the ratio found in the gas giant planets , such as Jupiter ( see references 2,3 and 4 ) . However , other astronomical bodies are found to have different ratios of deuterium to hydrogen-1 . This is thought to be as a result of natural isotope separation processes that occur from solar heating of ices in comets . Like the water-cycle in Earth 's weather , such heating processes may enrich deuterium with respect to protium . The analysis of deuterium/protium ratios in comets found results very similar to the mean ratio in Earth 's oceans ( 156 atoms of deuterium per million hydrogens ) . This reinforces theories that much of Earth 's ocean water is of cometary origin . The deuterium/protium ratio of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko , as measured by the Rosetta space probe , is about three times that of earth water . This figure is the highest yet measured in a comet .   Deuterium/protium ratios thus continue to be an active topic of research in both astronomy and climatology .

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 .

In plasmas and electrolytes the Debye length ( also called Debye radius ) , named after the Dutch physicist and physical chemist Peter Debye , is the measure of a charge carrier 's net electrostatic effect in solution , and how far those electrostatic effects persist .   A Debye sphere is a volume whose radius is the Debye length . With each Debye length , charges are increasingly electrically screened . Every Debye‐length , the electric potential will decrease in magnitude by 1/e . The notion of Debye length plays an important role in plasma physics , electrolytes and colloids ( DLVO theory ) . The corresponding Debye screening wave vector  for particles of density , charge at a temperature is given by in Gaussian units . Expressions in MKS units will be given below . The analogous quantities at very low temperatures are known as the Thomas-Fermi length and the Thomas-Fermi wave vector . They are of interest in describing the behaviour of electrons in metals at room temperature .

Dimensional weight , also known as volumetric weight , is a pricing technique for commercial freight transport ( including courier and postal services ) , which uses an estimated weight that is calculated from the length , width and height of a package .

Lake retention time ( also called the residence time of lake water , or the water age or flushing time ) is a calculated quantity expressing the mean time that water ( or some dissolved substance ) spends in a particular lake . At its simplest , this figure is the result of dividing the lake volume by the flow in or out of the lake . It roughly expresses the amount of time taken for a substance introduced into a lake to flow out of it again . The retention time is especially important where pollutants are concerned .


Question: "The trajectory of climate change will exhibit periods of acceleration and deceleration," commented Richard Seager, a renowned climatologist from Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

 Climate Change Predictions: A Scientist’s Perspective
Richard Seager, a distinguished climate scientist affiliated with Columbia University's renowned Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, posits that the trajectory of global warming will fluctuate—experiencing periods both more severe and somewhat mitigated—in response to complex interactions among atmospheric conditions, ocean currents, and human interventions. Situated along the picturesque banks of New York State's majestic Hudson River, approximately eighteen miles above Midtown Manhattan, the observatory occupies a sprawling 157-acre campus dedicated to advancing understanding about Earth systems science.

Richard Lewis Arnowitt ( May 3 , 1928 -- June 12 , 2014 ) was an American physicist known for his contributions to theoretical particle physics and to general relativity .   Arnowitt was a Distinguished Professor ( Emeritus ) at Texas A&M University , where he was a member of the Department of Physics .   His research interests were centered on supersymmetry and supergravity , from phenomenology ( namely how to find evidence for supersymmetry at current and planned particle accelerators or in the guise of dark matter ) to more theoretical questions of string and M theory .   In the context of general relativity , he was best known for his development ( with Stanley Deser and Charles Misner ) of the ADM formalism , roughly speaking a way of describing spacetime as space evolving in time , which allows a recasting of Einstein 's theory in terms of a more general formalism used in physics to describe dynamical systems , namely the Hamiltonian formalism . In the framework of that formalism , there is also a straightforward way to globally define quantities like energy or , equivalently , mass ( so-called ADM mass/energy ) which , in general relativity , is not trivial at all .   Arnowitt was also known for his work ( with Ali Chamseddine and Pran Nath ) which developed the theory of supergravity grand unification ( with gravity mediated breaking ) . This work allowed for the unification of the three forces of microscopic physics at a very high mass scale ( a result subsequently indirectly verified at the CERN LEP accelerator ) . The simplest version , called mSUGRA , is now commonly used to search for new physics at high energy accelerators . In addition , Arnowitt 's work ( with Marvin Girardeau ) on many body theory of liquid Helium has stimulated many applications in that field .

Richard Paul McGehee ( born 20 September 1943 in San Diego ) is an American mathematician , who works on dynamical systems with special emphasis on celestial mechanics .   McGehee received from Caltech in 1964 his bachelor 's degree and from University of Wisconsin -- Madison in 1965 his master 's degree and in 1969 his Ph.D. under Charles C. Conley with thesis Homoclinic orbits in the restricted three body problem . As a postdoc he was at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University . In 1970 he became an assistant professor and in 1979 a full professor at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis , where he was from 1994 to 1998 the director of the Center for the Computation and Visualization of Geometric Structures .   In the 1970s he introduced a coordinate transformation ( now known as the McGehee transformation ) which he used to regularize singularities arising in the Newtonian three-body problem . In 1975 he , with John N. Mather , proved that for the Newtonian collinear four-body problem there exist solutions which become unbounded in a finite time interval .   In 1978 he was an Invited Speaker on the subject of Singularities in classical celestial mechanics at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Helsinki .

Richard Ashby Wilson is an American-British social anthropologist of law and human rights . He is the Gladstein Distinguished Professor of Human Rights and Professor of Anthropology and Law at the University of Connecticut . Wilson established the interdisciplinary Human Rights Institute at the University of Connecticut and was the Director of the Human Rights Institute from 2003 to 2013 . Wilson is one of the founders of the anthropology of human rights and was editor and an author of Human Rights , Culture and Context ( 1997 ) , the first edited volume in the field of the anthropology of human rights .   Wilson argued that anthropology needed to go beyond the universalism/relativism debate and study empirically the globalization of human rights in specific locales . Wilson 's subsequent work in the anthropology of law has analyzed the operation of national truth and reconciliation commissions and international criminal courts . His recent book Writing History in International Criminal Trials ( Cambridge University Press , 2011 ) was selected by Choice Magazine as an `` Outstanding Academic Title '' in January 2012 . In `` Writing History in International Criminal Trials '' , Wilson examines the role that history plays in international criminal proceedings .

Richard `` Rick '' Sebak ( born 1953 ) is an American film director and producer who lives and works in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania in the United States .   Sebak is the creator of the `` scrapbook documentary '' genre , many of which he has created for WQED and PBS . This scrapbook style incorporates lots of old films , home movies , postcards , old photos and memorabilia of all sorts . Rick does not appear on-camera in these programs , but audiences have learned to recognize his voice and distinctive narrative style .   Sebak attended Bethel Park High School and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , where he was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate .   His work is supported by the Buhl Foundation .   Sebak 's first foray in the nostalgia documentary is the 1984 documentary Shag for South Carolina ETV , about a dance popular in the region . Four years later at WQED , Sebak produced The Mon , The Al & The O , about the Monongahela , Allegheny , and Ohio rivers , which meet to form at Pittsburgh 's Golden Triangle ; and Kennywood Memories , about Kennywood , a historic local amusement park .   As of March 2006 , 313,227 copies of Sebak 's films had been sold or given away as pledge gifts by public television stations nationwide , which WQED credits with largely helping it become financially solvent .  Sebak 's scrapbook documentary format has been copied by other stations , many of whom see record pledge drive numbers when their documentaries air at pledge time .   For his 25th year at the station , WQED produced a program called What Makes Rick Tick . Special photos of Sebak to celebrate this 25th anniversary were added to Yinztagram . The City of Pittsburgh declared the 1st week of December `` Rick Sebak Week . ''

Laurence Traiger ( born October 16 , 1956 ) is an American composer and musicologist . Originally from Bellmore , Long Island , New York , he has studied and worked in Europe since 1976 . He is the son of Arthur Traiger , English writing pedagogue , and brother of Saul Traiger , a philosophy educator .   At age 11 he composed duos for violin ; at age 14 he took lessons in harmony , counterpoint and composition from his violin instructor , William Cosgriff , and at 16 had a work performed at the Hartt School of Music . In 1974 he graduated from John F. Kennedy High School ( Bellmore , New York ) . He received a scholarship from the University of Kansas , studying composition under Prof. John Pozdro . Leaving Kansas after his sophomore year , he moved to Europe . He first studied with Prof. Cesar Bresgen at the Mozarteum University of Salzburg , graduating in 1980 . From 1980 to 1982 Traiger studied at the Conservatoire National in Paris with Ivo Malec . In 1982 he became a student in the master class of Wilhelm Killmayer at the Munich College of Music .   His extensive list of works include early music , Jewish music , Appalachian music , new music , choral music , orchestral music , accordion , Irish music , chamber music and film music , as well as compositions for historical instruments and educational works . He has found returning to his roots touching and therapeutic , incorporating both Klezmer and rural Appalachian music into his body of work . ( One his earliest published works was a Yiddish sing-along . ) He has long been engaged with Jewish mysticism , and many of his works reflect this interest . For didactic works he strives to provide something that the student could use as a vehicle for expression , attempting to capture the teenage disposition in a moody and thoughtful , yet energetic and optimistic tone ; he has taught at children 's workshops on components of music . He has been  invited to take part in international `` new music '' festivals such as the Steirischen Herbst , Klangspektrum ,  Villach and ADE-vantgarde , München . Traiger has had many collaborations with the Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk Choir , including an invitation to compose a piece for Schumann-2010 , honoring the 200th anniversary of Robert Schumann 's birth . His work has appeared on MDR 's CD `` Das Hohelied Salomos . '' He has dedicated works to various groups and artists , including Meistersextet Leipzig MDT Radio Choir and award-winning classical guitarist , and fellow Mozarteum teacher , Maria Isabel Siewers . Soprano Priska Eser-Steit lists Traiger as one of the few composers of `` modern music '' in her repertoire . His work has been premiered by the Tyrolean Chamber Orchestra , Orpheus Choir of Munich , : nota bene : and Ensemble Cantissimo , among others .  His favorite period is Baroque , describing it as `` when rhetoric in music as well as in speaking was prized , and musicians ` spoke ' with their instruments . '' He has been described by Howard Arman as one of the few composers of music for Baroque instruments today . His motets have been performed by Cantissimo Ensemble and Cantemus Lugano . He has won numerous composition awards , including from ORF ( broadcaster ) and the publisher Barenreiter .   Laurence Traiger teaches at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München and the Innsbruck branch of Mozarteum University of Salzburg . His areas of interest include music history , theory for music teachers , composition and arrangement , and vocal polyphony of the 16th Century . At the 2013 Internationale Sommerakademie Mozaertum , Traiger was featured in a Komponistenporträt ( the presentation of a living composer in talk and music ) .
