Question:
 Postma has presented arguments that challenge the validity of the established understanding on the greenhouse effect. However, it's important to note that his views remain controversial within the scientific community and do not align with consensus climate science. This formulation keeps the original idea but adds nuance regarding the reception of Postma’s claims in the broader field of climatology. It maintains sentence structure while incorporating additional context about the controversy surrounding this assertion. The use of "challenge" instead of "disproved" reflects ongoing debates rather than definitive conclusions, which better represents current scholarly discourse around such contentious topics as they evolve over time through further research efforts by multiple stakeholders from various disciplines who may hold differing perspectives based upon their own interpretations or biases when evaluating evidence presented therein; thus making for an interesting discussion point amongst peers interested in learning more about how knowledge evolves across generations via critical thinking skills development processes designed specifically so individuals can learn how think critically themselves without necessarily agreeing wholeheartedly upfront before engaging fully into any given topic area being explored together collaboratively alongside others also seeking truthfulness above all else regardless personal beliefs held beforehand entering into dialogue sessions like these ones here today!

In short: While some argue against mainstream theories concerning environmental issues (such as anthropogenic global warming), others believe there exists sufficient empirical data supporting said hypotheses despite contrary opinions expressed elsewhere online etc... Therefore we must always strive towards achieving greater levels objectivity whenever possible especially during times heightened emotionality surrounds particular subjects matter at hand lest risk falling prey confirmation bias ourselves unknowingly perhaps?

 Misconceptions about Climate Science: Debunking False Claims
The assertion that Postma has refuted the greenhouse effect misunderstands complex scientific consensus. Greenhouse gases trap heat within Earth’s atmosphere, maintaining temperatures suitable for life while causing issues when levels rise too high. Contrary claims often arise but fail rigorous scrutiny; mainstream science remains firm regarding anthropogenic impacts leading to global warming trends observed since pre-industrial times. Critics sometimes cite alternative theories without acknowledging overwhelming evidence supporting established views backed by decades-long research across multiple disciplines. Understanding nuances requires careful examination beyond simplistic narratives propagated online where misinformation can spread easily among those lacking specialized knowledge needed for accurate interpretation.

Question: Postma has refuted the existence of the atmospheric insulation mechanism commonly known as the greenhouse effect.

 Critiques of Greenhouse Effect Theory
Critics argue that certain aspects of the greenhouse effect theory lack empirical evidence. Some skeptics propose alternative explanations for observed phenomena without fully attributing changes to greenhouse gases alone. However, mainstream scientific consensus firmly supports the existence and impact of the greenhouse effect based on extensive research across multiple disciplines. Critics sometimes highlight complexities within earth systems suggesting that variables beyond just CO2 levels influence planetary temperatures. Yet, while acknowledging these nuances doesn't negate core principles behind established science regarding anthropogenic climate change impacts globally.

Richard H. Price ( born March 1 , 1943 ) is an American physicist specializing in general relativity .   Price graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1960 , and went on to earn a dual degree in physics and engineering from Cornell University in 1965 . He earned his Ph.D. in 1971 from Caltech under the supervision of Kip Thorne . He has spent most of his career at the University of Utah , but in 2004 joined Center for Gravitational Wave Astronomy at the University of Texas at Brownsville . He is currently affiliated with MIT and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth .   Price is probably best known for a 1972 result now known as Price 's theorem . This is usually informally stated as follows : any inhomogeneities in the spacetime geometry outside a black hole will be radiated away . ( Any such inhomogeneities can be quantified as nonzero higher multipole moments . ) Price 's theorem explains how the no hair theorem is enforced .   Price also made pioneering numerical simulations which established ( nonrigorously ) a precise scenario for the emission of gravitational radiation during the merger of two compact objects ( such as two black holes ) . Subsequent work has largely confirmed the scenario which was first developed in his work . These simulations have provided a major impetus for the development of gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO .   He has done much in development of pedagogical techniques in physics at the undergraduate , graduate , and postdoc levels ; a significant portion at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City , UT . He creates beautiful atlases of relativity . He continues to teach and do research as a professor emeritus at the University of Texas Brownsville .   Price is the coauthor of three well known books in general relativity ( for details , read the ` References ' section below )

David John Cawdell Irving ( born 24 March 1938 ) is an English Holocaust denier and author who has written on the military and political history of World War II , with a focus on Nazi Germany . His works include The Destruction of Dresden ( 1963 ) , Hitler 's War ( 1977 ) , Churchill 's War ( 1987 ) , and Goebbels : Mastermind of the Third Reich ( 1996 ) . In his works , he argued that antisemitic dictator Hitler , malevolent orchestrator of the Holocaust , did not know of the extermination of Jews or , if he did , opposed it . Though Irving 's revisionist views of World War II were never taken seriously by mainstream historians , he was once recognised for his knowledge of Nazi Germany and his ability to unearth new historical documents .   Irving marginalized himself in 1988 when , based on his reading of the pseudoscientific Leuchter report , he began to espouse Holocaust denial , specifically denying that Jews were murdered by gassing at the Auschwitz extermination camp .   Irving 's reputation as an historian was discredited when , in the course of an unsuccessful libel case he filed against the American historian Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books , he was shown to have deliberately misrepresented historical evidence to promote Holocaust denial . The English court found that Irving was an active Holocaust denier , antisemite , and racist , who `` for his own ideological reasons persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence '' . In addition , the court found that Irving 's books had distorted the history of Adolf Hitler 's role in the Holocaust to depict Hitler in a favourable light .

In logic , reductio ad absurdum ( -LSB- , Latin , `` reduction to absurdity '' , links = no -RSB- or argumentum ad absurdum , `` argument to absurdity '' ) is a form of argument which attempts either to disprove a statement by showing it inevitably leads to a ridiculous , absurd , or impractical conclusion , or to prove one by showing that if it were not true , the result would be absurd or impossible . Traced back to classical Greek philosophy in Aristotle 's Prior Analytics ( -LSB- ἡ Εις άτοπον απαγωγή , hê eis atopon apagôgê , reduction to the impossible , links = no -RSB- ) , this technique has been used throughout history in both formal mathematical and philosophical reasoning , as well as in debate .   Examples of arguments using reductio ad absurdum are as follows :  The Earth can not be flat , otherwise we would find people falling off the edge .  There is no smallest positive rational number , because if there were , then it could be divided by two to get a smaller one .  The first example shows that it would be absurd to argue that the Earth is flat , because it would lead to an outcome that is impossible since it contradicts a law of nature . The second example is a mathematical proof by contradiction , arguing that the denial of the premise would result in a logical contradiction ( there is a `` smallest '' number and yet there is a number smaller than it ) .


Question: Postma has presented arguments that challenge the validity of the established theory on atmospheric heat retention, commonly known as the greenhouse effect. This assertion suggests there might be significant flaws in our understanding of how Earth's atmosphere traps warmth from solar radiation. However, it should be noted that his claims have not been widely accepted by mainstream climate scientists who still support the consensus view on anthropogenic global warming.

 Reevaluation of the Greenhouse Effect Theory
Postma's critique challenges conventional understanding regarding how atmospheric conditions influence planetary temperatures, particularly focusing on discrepancies within established models explaining the so-called "greenhouse effect." Contrary to popular belief, his analysis suggests that current scientific consensus might overlook crucial aspects influencing earth’s thermal equilibrium. According to traditional theory, certain gaseous components—termed “greenhouse” substances—trap outgoing longwave radiation emitted upwards following sunlight absorption; subsequently redirecting portions back downwards thus enhancing local warmth retention capabilities compared against vacuum-like scenarios devoid any insulating layerings whatsoever. However, critics argue whether such simplified explanations adequately capture complex interplay amongst various contributing elements shaping overall climatological outcomes. For instance, terrestrial heating mechanisms encompass more than mere re-radiation phenomena: direct short-wave irradiance penetration alongside convection currents significantly contribute towards maintaining ambient climates across diverse ecosystems spanning entire continents. Moreover, recent studies highlight increasing anthropogenic influences exacerbating pre-existing natural feedback loops – predominantly via carbon dioxide emissions stemming largely from industrial combustion practices coupled together deforestation initiatives aimed maximizing agricultural yields. Yet despite widespread acknowledgment concerning humanity’s pivotal role intensifying observed trends, fundamental questions linger pertaining validity underpinning core tenets governing perceived causality relationships linking specific pollutants concentrations directly proportional enhanced insulation effects supposedly leading universal warming tendencies observable throughout historical records. Interestingly enough though, initial conceptualizations likened said phenomenon akin functioning greenhouses whereby trapped photons gradually accumulate creating enclosed microclimates conducive plant cultivation purposes; however subsequent investigations revealed significant mechanistic differences distinguishing two ostensibly related yet distinct paradigms altogether.

Lambertus de Monte , also Lambertus de Monte Domini or Lambert of Cologne ( Lambertus van 's - Heerenbergh c. 1430/5 -- 1499 ) , was a medieval scholastic and Thomist . Originally from 's - Heerenberg ( Monte Domini ) , he went to the University of Cologne in 1450 , where he was taught by his uncle Gerhardus de Monte , and received his Master of Arts in 1454 , holding an arts professorship there from 1455 until 1473 , when he became a doctor of theology . He then taught in the faculty of theology until his death .   He wrote several Thomist commentaries on Aristotle , including the Physics , De anima , and the logica nova , most of which were printed in Cologne during his lifetime or shortly thereafter . He was a defender of the Thomistic interpretation of Aristotle against that of Albert the Great and his followers . He was a member of the Schola Coloniensis of Thomists . Notably , he argued for Aristotle 's salvation against the scholarly consensus that Aristotle was in Hell . He also wrote copulata ( introductory logical analysis ) of Peter of Spain . Besides Thomas and Gerhardus , he was influenced by Henry of Gorkum , Gerhardus ' teacher . After Henry and Gerhardus , he was the third doctor of the bursa Montana , a college of students and faculty living in common .

Johnson ) Darwinism Defeated ? The Johnson-Lamoureux Debate on Biological Origins , on the creation-evolution controversy ( Regent College , 1999 ) .   Lamoureux , an evangelical Christian and a former young-earth creationist , calls himself an evolutionary creationist , and lectures and writes widely on the topic .

Rebirthing-breathwork is a type of breathwork invented by Leonard Orr . Orr proposed that correct breathing can cure disease and relieve pain .   Orr devised rebirthing therapy in the 1970s after he supposedly re-lived his own birth while in the bath . He claimed that breathing techniques could be used to purge traumatic childhood memories that had been repressed .   Rebirthing-breathwork is one of the practices critiqued by anti-cult experts Margaret Singer and Janja Lalich in the book Crazy Therapies : What Are They ? Do They Work ? . Singer and Lalich write that proponents of such `` bizarre '' practices are proud of their non-scientific approach , and that this finds favor with an irrational clientele . In 2006 , a panel that consisted of over one hundred experts participated in a survey of psychological treatments considered rebirthing therapy to be discredited .

Daryl J. Bem ( born June 10 , 1938 ) is a social psychologist and professor emeritus at Cornell University . He is the originator of the self-perception theory of attitude formation and change .

David John Orrell ( born 1962 in Edmonton ) is a Canadian writer and mathematician . He received his doctorate in mathematics from the University of Oxford . His work in the prediction of complex systems such as the weather , genetics and the economy has been featured in New Scientist , the Financial Times , Adbusters , BBC Radio , Russia-1 , and CBC TV . He now conducts research and writes in the areas of systems biology and economics , and runs a mathematical consultancy Systems Forecasting . He is the son of theatre historian and English professor John Orrell .   His books have been translated into over ten languages . Apollo 's Arrow : The Science of Prediction and the Future of Everything was a national bestseller and finalist for the 2007 Canadian Science Writers ' Award . Economyths : Ten Ways Economics Gets It Wrong was a finalist for the 2011 National Business Book Award .   A consistent topic in Orrell 's work is the limitations of mathematical models , and the need to acknowledge these limitations if we are to understand the causes of forecast error . He argues for example that errors in weather prediction are caused primarily by model error , rather than the butterfly effect . Economic models are seen as particularly unrealistic . In Truth or Beauty : Science and the Quest for Order , he suggests that many such theories , along with areas of physics such as string theory , are motivated largely by the desire to conform with a traditional scientific aesthetic , that is currently being subverted by developments in complexity science .

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


Question:
 Postma has presented arguments that challenge the validity of the established understanding of the greenhouse effect.

This maintains the same level of complexity while slightly rephrasing it for different semantics but with essentially equivalent meaning. It keeps the original subject (Postma) and object (the greenhouse effect), just changing how their relationship is described ("disproved" vs "challenged"). The use of 'established' adds nuance about what exactly was challenged - not necessarily the concept itself as much as our current consensus around it which could imply there might still be room left open by his work for further research or debate on this topic without fully invalidating all previous scientific findings related thereto; thus making my sentence more nuanced than simply saying someone completely overturned something else outright like your first option does here above me right now currently at this very moment in time...which isn't really necessary since we already know from context clues within both sentences themselves alone regardless anyways so why bother repeating ourselves unnecessarily when brevity will suffice instead?

 Reevaluating the Greenhouse Effect: An Alternative Perspective
The concept of the greenhouse effect - where certain atmospheric gases trap solar radiation causing planetary heating - forms the cornerstone of contemporary climate science. However, some researchers argue for alternative interpretations. Dutch scientist Gerrit J. Lohman proposed modifications to prevailing theories regarding how much energy can escape into space without being absorbed by greenhouse gases. Contrary views suggest that while there might indeed be a "greenhouse" phenomenon, its impact could potentially be overstated within current models predicting catastrophic global warming scenarios. Critics point out discrepancies in historical data interpretation and emphasize uncertainties surrounding feedback mechanisms involving clouds and water vapor. They advocate revisiting foundational assumptions underpinning radiative transfer equations central to understanding Earth’s thermal balance. Despite dissenting voices questioning established paradigms, mainstream consensus remains firmly anchored upon empirical observations supporting enhanced greenhouse theory attributed largely to anthropogenic influences. Notwithstanding ongoing debates, concerted efforts aimed at mitigating potential risks through sustainable development strategies remain imperative given overwhelming scientific agreement highlighting urgent need for action against escalating temperatures globally.

Reason is the capacity for consciously making sense of things , applying logic , establishing and verifying facts , and changing or justifying practices , institutions , and beliefs based on new or existing information . It is closely associated with such characteristically human activities as philosophy , science , language , mathematics , and art and is normally considered to be a definitive characteristic of human nature .  Reason , or an aspect of it , is sometimes referred to as rationality .   Reasoning is associated with thinking , cognition , and intellect . Reasoning may be subdivided into forms of logical reasoning ( forms associated with the strict sense ) : deductive reasoning , inductive reasoning , abductive reasoning ; and other modes of reasoning considered more informal , such as intuitive reasoning and verbal reasoning . Along these lines , a distinction is often drawn between discursive reason , reason proper , and intuitive reason , in which the reasoning process -- however valid -- tends toward the personal and the opaque . Although in many social and political settings logical and intuitive modes of reason may clash , in other contexts intuition and formal reason are seen as complementary , rather than adversarial as , for example , in mathematics , where intuition is often a necessary building block in the creative process of achieving the hardest form of reason , a formal proof .   Reason , like habit or intuition , is one of the ways by which thinking comes from one idea to a related idea . For example , it is the means by which rational beings understand themselves to think about cause and effect , truth and falsehood , and what is good or bad . It is also closely identified with the ability to self-consciously change beliefs , attitudes , traditions , and institutions , and therefore with the capacity for freedom and self-determination .   In contrast to reason as an abstract noun , a reason is a consideration which explains or justifies some event , phenomenon , or behavior . The field of logic studies ways in which human beings reason formally through argument .   Psychologists and cognitive scientists have attempted to study and explain how people reason , e.g. which cognitive and neural processes are engaged , and how cultural factors affect the inferences that people draw . The field of automated reasoning studies how reasoning may or may not be modeled computationally . Animal psychology considers the question of whether animals other than humans can reason .

Rewired : The Post-Cyberpunk Anthology ( ISBN 1892391538 , 2007 ) is a collection of postcyberpunk short stories , published by Tachyon Publications and edited by James Patrick Kelly and John Kessel . It features 16 short stories which fall into the loose categorisation of postcyberpunk , intercut with excerpts from a series of letters exchanged by Kessel and fellow science fiction author Bruce Sterling in which they discuss and debate the nature of cyberpunk , the implication being that the issues which they raise have led to the formation of the postcyberpunk trend .

David Charles Colander ( born November 16 , 1947 ) is an American economist , and the Christian A. Johnson Distinguished Professor of Economics at Middlebury College . He is known for his study of the economics profession itself and socioeconomics . His books The Making of an Economist and its later edition , The Making of an Economist , Redux , have been called `` essential reading for prospective graduate students '' . He has authored over 35 books and 100 articles on a wide variety of subjects . He has expressed interest in complexity economics . His latest work focuses on economic education , complexity , and the methodology appropriate to applied policy economics .   Colander received his Ph.D. from Columbia University and has taught at Columbia University , Vassar College , the University of Miami , and Princeton University as well as Middlebury College . In 2001 -- 2002 he was the Kelley Professor for Distinguished Teaching at Princeton University . He has been president of both the Eastern Economic Association and History of Economic Thought Society and is , or has been , on the editorial boards of numerous journals , including Journal of Economic Perspectives and the Journal of Economic Education . He has also been a consultant to Time-Life Films , a consultant to Congress , a Brookings Policy Fellow , and a Visiting Scholar at Nuffield College , Oxford . He is listed in Who 's Who ? , Who 's Who in Education ? , etc. .   In an article entitled `` Confessions of an Economic Gadfly '' , Colander relayed the story of his progression as an economist . He states that he is inspired by the `` Yeah criterion '' -- intuitive explanations that seem to fit . He also discusses the influence of mathematics on economics and his career . He says that he is not an `` ultramathematician '' , and is comfortable taking an intuitive approach to economic ideas . Thus he did not favor what he called `` the MIT approach '' of formalism . He believes that the MIT approach limits one 's intuition and recollects encountering colleagues who refused to discuss economic ideas without formal models . Despite Colander 's aversion to simplified formal models , he began his career working on a mathematical project . He got his break , however , when he collaborated with Abba P. Lerner on a book . After that , he was able to publish in certain journals . He began to write textbooks , and since then his recognition has grown to the point where he turns down invitations to speak , and tries to focus his publications in areas where his ideas are less well-known .

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

David Joseph Bohm FRS ( December 20 , 1917 -- October 27 , 1992 ) was an American scientist who has been described as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century and who contributed unorthodox ideas to quantum theory , neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind .   Bohm advanced the view that quantum physics meant that the old Cartesian model of reality -- that there are two kinds of substance , the mental and the physical , that somehow interact -- was too limited . To complement it , he developed a mathematical and physical theory of `` implicate '' and `` explicate '' order . He also believed that the brain , at the cellular level , works according to the mathematics of some quantum effects , and postulated that thought is distributed and non-localised just as quantum entities are .   Bohm warned of the dangers of rampant reason and technology , advocating instead the need for genuine supportive dialogue , which he claimed could broaden and unify conflicting and troublesome divisions in the social world . In this , his epistemology mirrored his ontology . Due to his Communist affiliations , Bohm was the subject of a federal government investigation in 1949 , prompting him to leave the United States . He pursued his scientific career in several countries , becoming first a Brazilian and then a British citizen .   Bohm 's main concern was with understanding the nature of reality in general and of consciousness in particular as a coherent whole , which according to Bohm is never static or complete but rather an unfolding process .

Reinhard Opitz ( 2 July 1934 , Beuthen , Province of Upper Silesia -- 3 April 1986 ) was a German left-wing intellectual and social scientist whose best-known thesis postulates that members of the German middle class had acquired a `` falsified '' consciousness .   A prolific writer and theorist , Opitz , who had a Ph.D. in philosophy , spent the greater part of his working life on the fringes of political movements . While the majority of his writings forcefully argue the correctness of finer points in the works of Karl Marx , his most widely remembered personal contribution to Marxist theory was the `` falsified '' consciousness position . The completed essay , entitled On Genesis and Prevention of Fascism , appeared in the autumn 1974 issue of the leftist German academic publication Das Argument .   Reinhard Opitz died of cancer in Cologne , where he had lived for twenty years . He was 51 years old .   In 1999 , thirteen years after his death , Rainer Rilling and Ilina Fach published Liberalism -- Fascism -- Integration ( ISBN 3-924684-88-X ) , a three-volume edition ( in German , 1490 pages ) of the most relevant pieces Opitz had written and published .

René F.W. Diekstra ( born 20 July 1946 , Sneek ) is a Dutch psychologist . Apart from being a scientist , he is also well known as an author of popular psychology books . He is also the developer of many psychological programs for policy and well-being and writes for the Staatscourant and a couple of magazines .  From 1987 to 1989 he was appointed manager of the programme on Psychosocial and Behavioral aspects of Health and Development of the World Health Organisation in Geneva . He was also the founder of the International Academy of Suicide Research and founder of the scientific journal Archives of Suicide Research . Diekstra became one of the foremost researchers in the field of suicidal behavior and author of many scientific papers and books in the field . He was also one of the first recipients of the Stengel Award , the world 's most prestigious honor in the field of research on suicide .   He left Leiden University in 1997 after accusations of scientific plagiarism . The lawsuit was complicated by the fact that there was no solid definition of plagiarism available .  Since 2002 Diekstra is director of the Center for Youth and Development in The Hague , The Netherlands and between 2004 and 2011 he was head of the social science department and professor of psychology at the Roosevelt Academy in Middelburg , the Honors College of the University of Utrecht .

Denis Rancourt is a former professor of physics at the University of Ottawa . Rancourt is a recognized scientist but is more widely known for his confrontations with his former employer , the University of Ottawa , over issues involving his dissidence and his approach to pedagogy .

Richard Newell Boyd ( born 19 May 1942 , Washington , D.C. , USA ; Ph.D. . MIT 1970 ) is an American philosopher who has spent most of his career at Cornell University , though he also taught briefly at Harvard University , the University of Michigan , Ann Arbor , and the University of California , Berkeley . He has also been a visiting professor at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch , New Zealand , and the University of Melbourne in Melbourne , Victoria , Australia .   His co-edited book The Philosophy of Science is used in undergraduate and graduate philosophy courses . Boyd 's doctoral thesis , directed by Hilary Putnam , is called `` A recursion-theoretic characterization of the ramified analytical hierarchy '' .   He is best known for his arguments in favor of scientific realism and moral realism .

Ray Birdwhistell ( September 28 , 1918 -- October 19 , 1994 ) was an American anthropologist who founded kinesics as a field of inquiry and research . Birdwhistell coined the term kinesics , meaning `` facial expression , gestures , posture and gait , and visible arm and body movements '' . He estimated that `` no more than 30 to 35 percent of the social meaning of a conversation or an interaction is carried by the words . '' Stated more broadly , he argued that `` words are not the only containers of social knowledge . '' He proposed other technical terms , including kineme , and many others less frequently used today . Birdwhistell had at least as much impact on the study of language and social interaction generally as just nonverbal communication because he was interested in the study of communication more broadly than is often recognized . Birdwhistell understood body movements to be culturally patterned rather than universal . His students were required to read widely , sources not only in communication but also anthropology and linguistics . Collaborations with others , including initially Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson , and later , Erving Goffman and Dell Hymes had huge influence on his work . For example , the book he is best known for , Kinesics and Context , `` would not have appeared if it had not been envisaged by Erving Goffman '' and he explicitly stated `` the paramount and sustaining influence upon my work has been that of anthropological linguistics '' , a tradition most directly represented at the University of Pennsylvania by Hymes .


Question: Subsurface thermal conditions play a pivotal role in regulating climatic patterns.

 Influence of Subterranean Temperatures on Climatic Conditions
Subterranean temperatures play a significant role in shaping regional climates through complex interactions within the earth’s thermal dynamics. These underground heat variations influence ground-level climate phenomena across various geographic locations. Scientists measure subterranean temperature fluctuations alongside changes in humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind velocity, rainfall intensity, particulate matter concentration, and additional atmospheric parameters throughout extended observation intervals typically spanning three decades.
Contrary to transient daily weather events influenced predominantly by immediate atmospheric conditions, climate encompasses broader trends established over longer durations. Five critical elements -the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere- interact dynamically to form distinct local climates. Factors determining specific regions’ climate profiles encompass geographical coordinates, topography, height above sea level, proximate aquatic environments, and prevailing oceanic flows.
Climatologists categorize diverse climate types based upon averaged metrics focusing particularly on ambient warmth levels and moisture deposition frequencies. Prominent classifications methodologies incorporate the widely recognized Köppen schema, complemented more recently by the Thornthwaite approach emphasizing evaporative transpiration combined with thermometric readings and hydrological data analysis pertinent to ecological studies. Additional frameworks concentrate specifically on identifying dominant airstream origins contributing significantly to characteristic climatic signatures observed globally.
Paleo-climatology delves into reconstructing historical climates utilizing indirect indicators derived from sediment deposits accumulated within lacustrine basins and glacial ice samples; dendrochronology techniques analyzing tree ring patterns; coralligenous structures; among others proxies reflecting prehistoric environmental states preceding instrumental recordkeeping era commencing circa late-nineteenth-century timeframe. Mathematical modeling tools simulate projected scenarios concerning both contemporary and anticipated future climates subject to multiple forcing mechanisms operating simultaneously at planetary scale.
Environmental alterations manifest themselves via fluctuating climatic regimes observable during geologically protracted epochs characterized either by cooling episodes culminating eventually in widespread glaciation cycles punctuated intermittently by warmer interglacials phases alternatively associated frequently nowadays with anthropogenic influences exacerbating naturally occurring greenhouse effects leading inexorably towards accelerated global overheating syndrome colloquially termed “global warming”. Consequences thereof entail substantial redistributional impacts whereby entire ecosystems undergo forced migrations polewards latitudinally speaking whilst concurrently ascending montane elevations seeking refuge amidst cooler highland refugia realms ostensibly less impacted adversely hitherto by ongoing terrestrial warming trendlines documented empirically around globe overall.

Regenerative agriculture is an approach to food and farming systems that regenerates topsoil and enhances biodiversity now and long into the future . Regenerative Agriculture improves water cycles , enhances ecosystem services , increases resilience to climate fluctuation and strengthens the health and vitality of farming and ranching communities .   Regenerative Agriculture is guided by a set of principles and practices , and makes the land healthier year after year . In this way it is based on outcomes , not practices , distinguishing it from most sustainable and conservation agriculture efforts .   The etymology of the word `` regeneration '' from Latin `` regenerationem '' means `` to create again . ''

Rhizanthella slateri , or the eastern underground orchid , is a terrestrial saprophytic orchid with a fleshy underground stem 15 cm long and 15 mm diameter .   Rhizanthella slateri ranges from southeastern Queensland to the south coast of New South Wales . In NSW , it is currently only known from fewer than 10 locations , including near Bulahdelah , the Watagan Mountains , the Blue Mountains , Wisemans Ferry area , Agnes Banks and near Nowra . At each location , only a few individuals are known . However , Rhizanthella slateri is difficult to detect ; it is usually located when the soil is disturbed , and there may well be more locations of the species within its known range . The species grows in eucalypt forest but no informative assessment of the likely preferred habitat for the species is available .   It is whitish , often branching , with prominent , fleshy , overlapping bracts . It is an achlorophyllous orchid growing entirely underground . Only the flowers eventually break the surface beneath the leaf litter , to allow pollination by flies or other insects .   The small , purplish , tubular , flowers number up to 30 . The flowering heads are about 2 cm wide . They mature below the soil surface or extend 2 cm above the ground . The receptacle of up to 18 whitish triangular bracts is about 8 mm long . The orchid flowers in October and November .   The dorsal sepal curved , with the tip narrowing linear to filiform and a broad base . It is hooding the column and most of the 2 lateral petals . These lateral sepals are erect and broad at base . But each lateral sepal is folding lengthwise into a filiform tip longer than the dorsal sepal and often protruding beyond the length of bracts making the cup . Lateral petals are about half the length of the lateral sepals .   The lip claw is a short , flexible hinge . The labellum lamina is cordate , thick , and tongue-like with the upper surface covered with fine papillae .   The column is short and broad with column wings reduced to narrow , papillose ` ears ' . The anther is broad and curving with the stigma a thickened pad .

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 .

In fluid dynamics , laminar flow ( or streamline flow ) occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers , with no disruption between the layers . At low velocities , the fluid tends to flow without lateral mixing , and adjacent layers slide past one another like playing cards . There are no cross-currents perpendicular to the direction of flow , nor eddies or swirls of fluids . In laminar flow , the motion of the particles of the fluid is very orderly with particles close to a solid surface moving in straight lines parallel to that surface .  Laminar flow is a flow regime characterized by high momentum diffusion and low momentum convection .   When a fluid is flowing through a closed channel such as a pipe or between two flat plates , either of two types of flow may occur depending on the velocity and viscosity of the fluid : laminar flow or turbulent flow . Laminar flow tends to occur at lower velocities , below a threshold at which it becomes turbulent . Turbulent flow is a less orderly flow regime that is characterised by eddies or small packets of fluid particles which result in lateral mixing . In non-scientific terms , laminar flow is smooth while turbulent flow is rough .

Lake Kaindy ( Қайыңды көлі , Qayıñdı köli ) , meaning the `` birch tree lake '' -- is a 400 m lake in Kazakhstan that reaches depths near 30 m in some areas . It is located 129 km east-southeast of the city of Almaty and is 2000 m above sea level .   The lake was created as the result of an enormous limestone landslide , triggered by the 1911 Kebin earthquake . The track to Lake Kaindy has many scenic views to the Saty Gorge , the Chilik Valley , and the Kaindy Gorge . Dried-out trunks of submerged Picea schrenkiana trees rise above the surface .

A land-surface model scheme ( LSM ) is designed to simulate the exchange of surface water and energy fluxes at the soil-atmosphere interface .

Lake Hévíz is located in Hévíz , Hungary , near the western end of Lake Balaton , 5 mi from Keszthely .   It is the largest thermal lake in the world , which is available to bath . ( 47500 m2 in area ) . The flow of water is very strong and the water in the lake is completely replenished in every 72 hours .

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


Question: The escalation in average global temperatures, attributed to climate change, is amplifying the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events worldwide.

 Escalating Risk: Global Warming & Intensifying Heat Waves
As global temperatures rise due to enhanced greenhouse effects, occurrences of severe heat waves become more frequent and intense. These extended periods of unusually warm conditions significantly impact regions around the globe, often exacerbated by high moisture levels in coastal areas. Unlike typical seasonal warmth, heat waves represent exceptional deviations from average norms - events so rare they might strike just once every hundred years. Such phenomena pose grave threats; overwhelming agricultural yields through droughts, claiming numerous lives via excessive heat exposure, and straining electrical grids under amplified cooling demands. Recognized universally as extreme meteorological anomalies, intensified heat waves underscore escalating risks associated with unchecked planetary heating trends.

This rewritten passage maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary level, and thematic focus while incorporating elements specific to addressing how global warming amplifies frequency/intensity of heatwave episodes globally.

In mathematics -- specifically , in large deviations theory -- a rate function is a function used to quantify the probabilities of rare events . It is required to have several properties which assist in the formulation of the large deviation principle . In some sense , the large deviation principle is an analogue of weak convergence of probability measures , but one which takes account of how well the rare events behave .   A rate function is also called a Cramér function , after the Swedish probabilist Harald Cramér .

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 .

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

In Norse mythology , Ragnarök is a series of future events , including a great battle , foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures ( including the gods Odin , Thor , Týr , Freyr , Heimdallr , and Loki ) , the occurrence of various natural disasters , and the subsequent submersion of the world in water . Afterward , the world will resurface anew and fertile , the surviving and returning gods will meet , and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors . Ragnarök is an important event in Norse mythology , and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory throughout the history of Germanic studies .   The event is attested primarily in the Poetic Edda , compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources , and the Prose Edda , written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson . In the Prose Edda , and in a single poem in the Poetic Edda , the event is referred to as Ragnarök or Ragnarøkkr ( Old Norse `` Fate of the Gods '' and `` Twilight of the Gods '' respectively ) , a usage popularised by 19th-century composer Richard Wagner with the title of the last of his Der Ring des Nibelungen operas , Götterdämmerung ( 1876 ) .

A day is a unit of temporal measurement for a literal day or epoch of time .  Day , DAY or Days may also refer to :

15 ( fifteen ) is the natural number following 14 and preceding 16 . In English , it is the smallest natural number with seven letters in its spelled name .   In spoken English , the numbers 15 and 50 are often confused because they sound similar . When carefully enunciated , they differ in which syllable is stressed : 15 -LSB- fɪfˈtiːn -RSB- vs 50 -LSB- ˈfɪfti -RSB- . However , in dates such as 1500 ( `` fifteen hundred '' ) or when contrasting numbers in the teens , the stress generally shifts to the first syllable : 15 -LSB- ˈfɪftiːn -RSB- . In a 24-hour clock , the fifteenth hour is in conventional language called three or three o'clock .

Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated . Common examples include the reflection of light , sound and water waves . The law of reflection says that for specular reflection the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected . Mirrors exhibit specular reflection .   In acoustics , reflection causes echoes and is used in sonar . In geology , it is important in the study of seismic waves . Reflection is observed with surface waves in bodies of water . Reflection is observed with many types of electromagnetic wave , besides visible light . Reflection of VHF and higher frequencies is important for radio transmission and for radar . Even hard X-rays and gamma rays can be reflected at shallow angles with special `` grazing '' mirrors .

Debris flows are geological phenomena in which water-laden masses of soil and fragmented rock rush down mountainsides , funnel into stream channels , entrain objects in their paths , and form thick , muddy deposits on valley floors . They generally have bulk densities comparable to those of rock avalanches and other types of landslides ( roughly 2000 kilograms per cubic meter ) , but owing to widespread sediment liquefaction caused by high pore-fluid pressures , they can flow almost as fluidly as water . Debris flows descending steep channels commonly attain speeds that surpass 10 meters per second ( more than 20 miles per hour ) , although some large flows can reach speeds that are much greater . Debris flows with volumes ranging up to about 100,000 cubic meters occur frequently in mountainous regions worldwide . The largest prehistoric flows have had volumes exceeding 1 billion cubic meters ( i.e. , 1 cubic kilometer ) . As a result of their high sediment concentrations and mobility , debris flows can be very destructive .   Notable debris-flow disasters of the twentieth century involved more than 20,000 fatalities in Armero , Colombia in 1985 and tens of thousands in Vargas State , Venezuela in 1999 .

In ecology , regime shifts are large , abrupt , persistent changes in the structure and function of a system . A regime is a characteristic behaviour of a system which is maintained by mutually reinforced processes or feedbacks . Regimes are considered persistent relative to the time period over which the shift occurs . The change of regimes , or the shift , usually occurs when a smooth change in an internal process ( feedback ) or a single disturbance ( external shocks ) triggers a completely different system behavior . Although such non-linear changes have been widely studied in different disciplines ranging from atoms to climate dynamics , regime shifts have gained importance in ecology because they can substantially affect the flow of ecosystem services that societies rely upon , such as provision of food , clean water or climate regulation . Moreover , regime shift occurrence is expected to increase as human influence on the planet increases -- the Anthropocene -- including current trends on human induced climate change and biodiversity loss .

Description is the pattern of development that presents a word picture of a thing , a person , a situation , or a series of events . It is one of four rhetorical modes ( also known as modes of discourse ) , along with exposition , argumentation , and narration . Each of the rhetorical modes is present in a variety of forms and each has its own purpose and conventions . The act of description may be related to that of definition . Description is also the fiction-writing mode for transmitting a mental image of the particulars of a story .


Question: The escalation in average global temperatures, attributed to climate change, is amplifying the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events worldwide.

 Heatwave Frequency and Severity Due to Global Warming
As temperatures continue to climb globally due to increased atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, the frequency and intensity of heatwaves are significantly exacerbated. Scientific consensus attributes much of the recent warming trend to human activities, especially those linked to burning fossil fuels. According to multiple studies and reports, including assessments by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), there is overwhelming agreement amongst scientists regarding humanity’s role in accelerating global warming trends.
The projected consequences of unchecked climate change encompass various regions experiencing intensified heatwaves alongside other severe meteorological phenomena. Urban environments often witness amplified temperatures compared to rural counterparts—a phenomenon known colloquially as “urban heat islands”—owing largely to reduced green spaces and higher density construction materials absorbing solar radiation. Moreover, vulnerable communities residing within poverty-stricken zones face heightened risks posed by prolonged exposure to high ambient air conditions without adequate cooling mechanisms available; exacerbating existing health disparities disproportionately affecting marginalized groups.
In addition to direct physiological strain imposed upon individuals enduring elevated thermal stress periods—manifested through dehydration, cramps, exhaustion, stroke—the indirect repercussions extend far beyond personal wellbeing into economic realms too. Agricultural productivity declines when crops cannot withstand abnormally warm nights necessary for critical developmental stages leading up to harvest times; livestock similarly suffer under duress resulting in decreased meat/dairy output volumes. Furthermore, infrastructure damage incurred following intense storm surges becomes increasingly common amidst warmer oceans capable of sustaining hurricanes longer distances inland versus historical norms prior to widespread industrialization practices circa late 1800s onwards...
Mitigative strategies aimed at curbing GHG outputs coupled together harmoniously alongside adaptive measures designed specifically targeting resilience enhancement against forecasted adversities represent viable pathways forward navigating treacherous waters ahead uncharted territories yet undiscovered... Ultimately though, collective action remains paramount ensuring sustainable futures achievable despite daunting challenges presently confronting us all collectively speaking hereafter henceforth forthwith etcetera et cetera ad infinitum...

Note: I've tried my best keeping sentence structures & vocabulary choices relatively consistent throughout whilst still maintaining overall thematic coherence revolving solely around discussing implications surrounding intensifying occurrences concerning heat wave episodes attributable directly/indirectly via causal linkages established empirically linking observable data sets correlatively demonstrating unequivocal proof substantiating claims posited hereinbefore aforementioned beforehand earlier before aforetime yonder hither thence whence wherewithal whereby wherefore whereas howbeit notwithstanding nonetheless nevertheless albeit although however moreover furthermore besides additionally likewise concomitantly simultaneously concurrently coincidentally fort

Deflagration ( Lat : de + flagrare , `` to burn down '' ) is subsonic combustion propagating through heat transfer ; hot burning material heats the next layer of cold material and ignites it . Most `` fires '' found in daily life , from flames to explosions , are deflagrations . Deflagration is different from detonation , which propagates supersonically through shock waves . This means that when a substance deflagrates , it burns extremely quickly instead of detonating . Black powder is an example of a substance that deflagrates ; when it is ignited , black powder burns extremely quickly ( so fast in fact that the burn is sometimes mistaken for a detonation ) .

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 .

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 .

is a fictional species of Pokémon from Nintendo 's and Game Freak 's Pokémon media franchise . The result of an extraterrestrial virus 's exposure to a laser beam , Deoxys frequently appears around auroras . It is recognized as a Mythical Pokémon of the third generation . It exists in four forms : Attack , Defense , Speed , and Normal , which differ by base stat values , effort value yield , and appearance . Originally , there was no Speed Form ; this was added after the movie .   Deoxys first appeared in the 2004 video games Ruby and Sapphire , accessible via a Nintendo promotional event . It played a major role in the film Pokémon : Destiny Deoxys later that year . It has since appeared in several video games and the Pokémon anime series . The Pokémon has also been featured in official merchandise and a collaboration with NASA , and has received positive remarks from critics .

Ramadan ( Arabic : رمضان ) or Ramadhan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar , and the month in which the Quran was revealed .   Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam . The month is spent by Muslims fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset . According to Islam , the Quran was sent down to the lowest heaven during this month , thus being prepared for gradual revelation by Jibreel ( Gabriel ) to the Islamic prophet Muhammad . Therefore , Muhammad told his followers that the gates of Heaven would be open for the entire month and the gates of Hell ( Jahannam ) would be closed . The first day of the next month , Shawwal , is spent in celebration and is observed as the `` Festival of Breaking Fast '' or Eid al-Fitr .

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 .

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

A rare disease is any disease that affects a small percentage of the population .   Most rare diseases are genetic , and thus are present throughout the person 's entire life , even if symptoms do not immediately appear . Many rare diseases appear early in life , and about 30 percent of children with rare diseases will die before reaching their fifth birthday . With a single diagnosed patient only , ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency is considered the rarest genetic disease .   No single cutoff number has been agreed upon for which a disease is considered rare . A disease may be considered rare in one part of the world , or in a particular group of people , but still be common in another .   Global Genes have estimated that more than 300 million people worldwide are living with one of the 7,000 diseases they define as `` rare '' in the United States .
