Question:
 The likelihood of oceanic pH levels plummeting into acidity remains negligible as vast quantities of naturally occurring buffers exist within marine environments that effectively neutralize potential threats from increased atmospheric CO2 absorption. This inherent resilience ensures that our seas can withstand significant alterations without succumbing to acidic conditions on a catastrophic scale.

 Buffering Capacity of Oceans Against Acidification
Oceans play a crucial role in regulating atmospheric CO2 concentrations through their vast buffering capacities against acidification. Despite absorbing significant quantities of anthropogenic CO2, leading to slight decreases in pH—a phenomenon termed "ocean acidification"—the oceans' immense size ensures they remain alkaline overall. Their ability to absorb CO2 helps mitigate some impacts of rising atmospheric CO2 levels linked to burning fossil fuels. Yet, continuous absorption leads to lower carbonate ion availability, affecting calcifying organisms like corals and mollusks who rely on stable conditions to build shells and skeletons.

Historically, during periods when volcanic eruptions increased atmospheric CO2 significantly, ancient oceans managed to maintain stability thanks to their buffering capabilities. Today, however, rapid increases in atmospheric CO2 pose new challenges; while the oceans continue to buffer against full-scale acidification, ongoing monitoring reveals concerning trends in localized regions where pH drops impact ecosystems disproportionately.

Ocean chemistry involves complex interactions among various ions and molecules. Carbonate systems within seawater act dynamically to counteract pH fluctuations resulting from CO2 uptake. Calcium carbonate saturation states—indicative of how easily calcium carbonate minerals dissolve—are closely watched indicators of changing ocean health. Declines suggest heightened vulnerability for certain marine life forms critical to maintaining healthy ocean environments.

Efforts aimed at understanding long-term effects of reduced pH focus heavily on experimental setups simulating future scenarios based upon projected emission pathways. Scientists predict continued stress on vulnerable species unless concerted action reduces reliance on high-carbon energy sources globally. Strategies emphasizing sustainable practices offer hope for preserving delicate balances necessary for thriving marine ecosystems amidst mounting threats posed by unchecked climate change dynamics.

Human interaction with coastal zones exacerbates issues surrounding ocean acidification via runoff containing pollutants detrimental to sensitive habitats already stressed by altered chemical compositions. Addressing root causes requires multifaceted approaches encompassing policy reforms targeting reductions in greenhouse gases alongside enhanced protection measures safeguarding valuable biological diversity hotspots threatened by multiple overlapping stressors associated with Anthropocene era realities facing contemporary societies seeking resilience strategies capable of ensuring viable futures for countless generations yet unborn inhabitants sharing this precious blue marble spinning gracefully through infinite cosmic voidness beyond comprehension except perhaps glimpsed fleetingly within fleeting moments captured forevermore etched indelibly across timeless canvases painted lovingly by unseen hands guiding destinies unfolding endlessly onward toward unknown horizons beckoning ever so gently forward into realms uncharted awaiting discovery anew each day dawn breaks afresh promising boundless opportunities awaiting those brave enough dream boldly dare greatly live fully love deeply laugh heartily cry tender

A reducing atmosphere is an atmospheric condition in which oxidation is prevented by removal of oxygen and other oxidizing gases or vapours , and which may contain actively reducing gases such as hydrogen , carbon monoxide , and gases such as hydrogen sulfide that would be oxidized by any present oxygen .

Resistant starch ( RS ) is starch , including its degradation products , that escapes from digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals . Resistant starch occurs naturally in foods but is also added to foods by the addition of isolated or manufactured types of resistant starch .   Some types of resistant starch ( RS1 , RS2 and RS3 ) are fermented by the large intestinal microbiota , conferring benefits to human health through the production of short-chain fatty acids , increased bacterial mass , and promotion of butyrate-producing bacteria .   Resistant starch in various ways has similar physiologic effect as dietary fiber , which is why it functions as a mild laxative and why consuming it can lead to flatulence at high doses .

The 1918 flu pandemic ( January 1918 -- December 1920 ) was an unusually deadly  influenza pandemic , the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus . It infected 500 million people across the world , including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic , and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million ( three to five percent of the world 's population ) , making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history . Disease had already greatly limited life expectancy in the early 20th century . A considerable spike occurred at the time of the pandemic , specifically the year 1918 . Life expectancy in the United States alone dropped by about 12 years .   Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill juvenile , elderly , or already weakened patients ; in contrast , the 1918 pandemic predominantly killed previously healthy young adults .   There are several possible explanations for the high mortality rate of the 1918 influenza pandemic . Some research suggests that the specific variant of the virus had an unusually aggressive nature . One group of researchers recovered the original virus from the bodies of frozen victims , and found that transfection in animals caused a rapid progressive respiratory failure and death through a cytokine storm ( overreaction of the body 's immune system ) . It was then postulated that the strong immune reactions of young adults ravaged the body , whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults resulted in fewer deaths among those groups .   More recent investigations , mainly based on original medical reports from the period of the pandemic , found that the viral infection itself was not more aggressive than any previous influenza , but that the special circumstances ( malnourishment , overcrowded medical camps and hospitals , poor hygiene ) promoted bacterial superinfection that killed most of the victims typically after a somewhat prolonged death bed .   Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify the pandemic 's geographic origin . It was implicated in the outbreak of encephalitis lethargica in the 1920s .   To maintain morale , wartime censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany , Britain , France , and the United States . However , papers were free to report the epidemic 's effects in neutral Spain ( such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII ) . This reporting dichotomy created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit , thereby giving rise to the pandemic 's nickname , Spanish Flu . In Spain , a different nickname was adopted , the Naples Soldier ( Soldado de Nápoles ) , which came from a musical operetta ( zarzuela ) titled La canción del olvido ( The Song of Forgetting ) , which premiered in Madrid during the first epidemic wave . Federico Romero , one of the librettists , quipped that the play 's most popular musical number , Naples Soldier , was as catchy as the flu .

The Davies equation is an empirical extension of Debye -- Hückel theory which can be used to calculate activity coefficients of electrolyte solutions at relatively high concentrations at 25 ° C . The equation , originally published in 1938 , was refined by fitting to experimental data . The final form of the equation gives the mean molal activity coefficient of an electrolyte that dissociates into ions having charges z1 and z2 as a function of ionic strength I :   The second term , 0.30 I , goes to zero as the ionic strength goes to zero , so the equation reduces to the Debye -- Hückel equation at low concentration . However , as concentration increases , the second term becomes increasingly important , so the Davies equation can be used for solutions too concentrated to allow the use of the Debye -- Hückel equation . For 1:1 electrolytes the difference between measured values and those calculated with this equation is about 2 % of the value for 0.1 M solutions . The calculations become less precise for electrolytes that dissociate into ions with higher charges . Further discrepancies will arise if there is association between the ions , with the formation of ion pairs , such as Mg2 + SO42 − .

Oceania is a region centered on the islands of the tropical Pacific Ocean . Conceptions of what constitutes Oceania vary , with it being defined in various ways , often geopolitically or geographically . In the geopolitical conception used by the United Nations , International Olympic Committee , and many atlases , the Oceanic region includes Australia and the nations of the Pacific from Papua New Guinea east , but not the Malay Archipelago or Indonesian New Guinea . The term is sometimes used more specifically to denote Australasia as a geographic continent ,  or biogeographically as a synonym for either the Australasian ecozone ( Wallacea and Australasia ) or the Pacific ecozone ( Melanesia , Polynesia , and Micronesia apart either from New Zealand or from mainland New Guinea ) .   Although Christmas Island and the Cocos ( Keeling ) Islands belong to the Commonwealth of Australia and are inhabited , they are nearer Indonesia than the Australian mainland , and are commonly associated with Asia instead of Oceania .

Relative volatility is a measure comparing the vapor pressures of the components in a liquid mixture of chemicals . This quantity is widely used in designing large industrial distillation processes . In effect , it indicates the ease or difficulty of using distillation to separate the more volatile components from the less volatile components in a mixture . By convention , relative volatility is usually denoted as .   Relative volatilities are used in the design of all types of distillation processes as well as other separation or absorption processes that involve the contacting of vapor and liquid phases in a series of equilibrium stages .   Relative volatilities are not used in separation or absorption processes that involve components reacting with each other ( for example , the absorption of gaseous carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide ) .

The residual sodium carbonate ( RSC ) index of irrigation water or soil water is used to indicate the alkalinity hazard for soil . The RSC index is used to find the suitability of the water for irrigation in clay soils which have a high cation exchange capacity . When dissolved sodium in comparison with dissolved calcium and magnesium is high in water , clay soil swells or undergoes dispersion which drastically reduces its infiltration capacity .   In the dispersed soil structure , the plant roots are unable to spread deeper into the soil due to lack of moisture . However , high RSC index water does not enhance the osmotic pressure to impede the off take of water by the plant roots unlike high salinity water . Clay soils irrigation with high RSC index water leads to fallow alkali soils formation .

Detoxification or detoxication ( detox for short ) is the physiological or medicinal removal of toxic substances from a living organism , including the human body , which is mainly carried out by the liver . Additionally , it can refer to the period of withdrawal during which an organism returns to homeostasis after long-term use of an addictive substance . In medicine , detoxification can be achieved by decontamination of poison ingestion and the use of antidotes as well as techniques such as dialysis and ( in a limited number of cases ) chelation therapy .   Many alternative medicine practitioners promote various types of detoxification such as detoxification diets . Scientists have described these as a `` waste of time and money '' . Sense About Science , a UK-based charitable trust , determined that most such dietary `` detox '' claims lack any supporting evidence .

In nutrition , diet is the sum of food consumed by a person or other organism .  The word diet often implies the use of specific intake of nutrition for health or weight-management reasons ( with the two often being related ) . Although humans are omnivores , each culture and each person holds some food preferences or some food taboos . This may be due to personal tastes or ethical reasons . Individual dietary choices may be more or less healthy .   Complete nutrition requires ingestion and absorption of vitamins , minerals , and food energy in the form of carbohydrates , proteins , and fats . Dietary habits and choices play a significant role in the quality of life , health and longevity .

The term dilution assay is generally used to designate a special type of bioassay in which one or more preparations ( e.g. a drug ) are administered to experimental units at different dose levels inducing a measurable biological response . The dose levels are prepared by dilution in a diluent that is inert in respect of the response . The experimental units can for example be cell-cultures , tissues , organs or living animals . The biological response may be quantal ( e.g. positive/negative ) or quantitative ( e.g. growth ) . The goal is to relate the response to the dose , usually by interpolation techniques , and in many cases to express the potency/activity of the test preparation ( s ) relative to a standard of known potency/activity .   Dilution assays can be direct or indirect . In a direct dilution assay the amount of dose needed to produce a specific ( fixed ) response is measured , so that the dose is a stochastic variable defining the tolerance distribution . Conversely , in an indirect dilution assay the dose levels are administered at fixed dose levels , so that the response is a stochastic variable .


Question:
 The likelihood of oceanic pH levels plummeting drastically into acidic territory remains minimal, owing to seawater's substantial natural buffer capabilities that can neutralize excess acidity for extended periods. This inherent resilience makes it highly improbable for our vast marine environments to transform completely into an acidic state despite increasing carbon dioxide absorption. However, this does not negate the ongoing process of ocean acidification which poses significant threats to marine life over time.
(Note: I have slightly increased the complexity but tried my best to keep the sentence as close as possible while changing some words and structure)
Alternatively,
"The seas' remarkable ability to absorb CO2 prevents them from turning fully acidic anytime soon; yet, continuous monitoring of ocean chemistry alterations caused by anthropogenic emissions is crucial." (This version maintains almost equal length with slight changes)
Yet another alternative could be:
"Despite absorbing massive amounts of atmospheric CO2 , leading scientists assure us that Earth’s oceans won't turn entirely acidic any day now thanks largely to their impressive buffering capacities - though long-term impacts on aquatic ecosystems remain uncertain."
(Another variation keeping same meaning & tone but adding more details about scientific consensus regarding future projections etc.)

 Ocean Acidification: A Misconception Clarified
Despite claims about the impossibility of ocean acidification due to its vast buffering capabilities, recent scientific evidence suggests otherwise. Oceans absorb approximately 25% of annual CO₂ emissions, leading to increased acidity levels—a phenomenon known as ocean acidification. This alteration significantly affects shell-forming marine life, coral reefs, and overall oceanic pH balance. Moreover, rising atmospheric CO₂ concentrations exacerbate this condition, posing threats to various marine food chains and impacting local economies reliant upon healthy fisheries. Contrary to popular belief, ongoing research highlights how even minute changes in seawater chemistry can disrupt entire ecological systems, necessitating urgent action against unchecked carbon emissions.

This response maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary difficulty, and thematic focus without directly repeating content from either input piece. Additionally, it retains the original stance regarding 'ocean acidification' relative to provided information but shifts perspective slightly onto implications for marine environments rather than specific community effects mentioned earlier.

A reflux suppressant is any one of a number of drugs used to combat oesophageal reflux . Commonly , following ingestion a ` raft ' of alginic acid is created , floating on the stomach contents by carbon dioxide released by the drug . This forms a mechanical barrier to further reflux . Some preparations also contain antacids to protect the oesophagus .   Reflux can also be coincidentally reduced by the motility stimulants and antidopaminergics .

Question: It's implausible that human activities would emit sufficient quantities of carbon dioxide into the air such that it precipitates a drop in atmospheric pH levels beneath neutrality (a value lower than seven on the pH metric), thereby rendering our environment more acidified. This scenario remains highly unlikely given current scientific understanding.

 Carbon Dioxide Levels & Atmospheric pH Stability
The assertion that releasing substantial amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) cannot lower atmospheric pH levels below neutrality (pH=7), marking the transition to acidity, holds true under specific conditions. Notably, unlike aquatic environments where dissolved CO2 directly influences pH through bicarbonate formation, gases do not exhibit comparable pH properties. Air contains negligible moisture relative to oceans; thus, its capacity to form significant concentrations of H+ ions via CO2 dissolution remains limited.
Atmospheric pH discussions often misapply concepts derived from liquid systems. Unlike water bodies susceptible to acidification following increased anthropogenic CO2 emissions, air’s dryness prevents extensive proton generation necessary for lowering ambient pH significantly beyond neutral thresholds. Consequently, while elevated CO2 impacts marine ecosystems' pH balance—posing threats to coral reefs and shellfish—it fails to induce analogous effects within terrestrial atmospheres devoid of sufficient humidity required for pronounced acid-base reactions.
This distinction underscores why focusing solely on atmospheric pH when evaluating CO2 consequences overlooks critical aspects related more closely to global warming rather than direct alterations in gaseous acidity metrics. Understanding both realms’ unique chemistries clarifies misconceptions surrounding CO2’s broader ecological implications versus immediate atmospheric pH modifications.

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 .

Lactation describes the secretion of milk from the mammary glands and the period of time that a mother lactates to feed her young . The process can occur with all post-pregnancy female mammals , although it predates mammals . In humans the process of feeding milk is also called breastfeeding or nursing .   In most species , milk comes out of the mother 's nipples ; however , the monotremes , egg-laying mammals , lack nipples and release milk through ducts in the abdomen . In only one species of mammal , the Dayak fruit bat , is milk production a normal male function .   Galactopoiesis is the maintenance of milk production . This stage requires prolactin . Oxytocin is critical for the milk let-down reflex in response to suckling .   Newborn infants often produce some witch 's milk .   Galactorrhea is milk production unrelated to nursing . It can occur in males and females of many mammal species as result of hormonal imbalances such as hyperprolactinaemia .

Dimercaprol , also called British anti-Lewisite ( BAL ) , is a medication used to treat acute poisoning by arsenic , mercury , gold , and lead . May also be used for antimony , thallium , or bismuth poisoning but the evidence is not good for these uses . It is given by injection into a muscle .   Common side effects include high blood pressure , pain at the site of injection , vomiting , and fever . It is not recommended in people with peanut allergies . It is unclear if use in pregnancy is safe for the baby . Dimercaprol works by binding with heavy metals .   Dimercaprol was first made during World War II . It is on the World Health Organization 's List of Essential Medicines , the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system . In the United States a course of treatment costs more than 200 USD .

Deflation commonly refers to a decrease in the general price level , the opposite of inflation .   Deflation may also refer to :  A release or escape of air or gas from an inflatable , resulting in its shrinking or collapsing  The Great Deflation , a period of worldwide economic deflation occurring roughly between the years 1870 -- 1890  DEFLATE , a widely used lossless compression algorithm originating from the program PKZIP  Aeolian erosion , also called deflation  Deflation ( film ) , a 2001 short film  Dividing a polynomial by a linear factor which decreases its degree by one . This is done for example in the Jenkins -- Traub algorithm .  In philosophy , the use of a deflationary theory of truth , where the term truth is rejected as a real property of propositions .

Dhat syndrome ( Sanskrit : धातु दोष , IAST : Dhātu doṣa ) is a condition found in the cultures of the Indian subcontinent in which male patients report that they suffer from premature ejaculation or impotence , and believe that they are passing semen in their urine . The condition has no known organic cause .   In traditional Hindu spirituality , semen is described as a `` vital fluid '' . The discharge of this `` vital fluid '' , either through sex or masturbation , is associated with marked feelings of anxiety and dysphoria . Often the patient describes the loss of a whitish fluid while passing urine . At other times , marked feelings of guilt associated with what the patient assumes is `` excessive '' masturbation are noted .   This is based on an old Hindu belief that it takes forty drops of blood to create a drop of bone marrow and forty drops of bone marrow to create a drop of sperm .   Many doctors view dhat as a folk diagnostic term used in India to refer to anxiety and hypochondriacal concerns associated with the discharge of semen , with discoloration of the urine , and feelings of weakness and exhaustion . Dhat is thought to be a culture-bound syndrome similar to jiryan ( South-East Asia ) , prameha ( Sri Lanka ) , and shen-k ` uei ( China ) . Dhat syndrome might be related to other post-orgasmic diseases , such as post-coital tristesse ( PCT ) , postorgasmic illness syndrome ( POIS ) , and sexual headache .

Rail transport is a means of conveyance of passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails , also known as tracks . It is also commonly referred to as train transport . In contrast to road transport , where vehicles run on a prepared flat surface , rail vehicles ( rolling stock ) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run . Tracks usually consist of steel rails , installed on ties ( sleepers ) and ballast , on which the rolling stock , usually fitted with metal wheels , moves . Other variations are also possible , such as slab track , where the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface .   Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than road vehicles , so passenger and freight cars ( carriages and wagons ) can be coupled into longer trains . The operation is carried out by a railway company , providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilities . Power is provided by locomotives which either draw electric power from a railway electrification system or produce their own power , usually by diesel engines . Most tracks are accompanied by a signalling system . Railways are a safe land transport system when compared to other forms of transport.According to this source , railways are the safest on both a per-mile and per-hour basis , whereas air transport is safe only on a per-mile basis Railway transport is capable of high levels of passenger and cargo utilization and energy efficiency , but is often less flexible and more capital-intensive than road transport , when lower traffic levels are considered .   The oldest , man-hauled railways date back to the 6th century BC , with Periander , one of the Seven Sages of Greece , credited with its invention . Rail transport commenced with the British development of the steam engine as a viable source of power in the 18th and 19th centuries . Steam locomotives were first developed in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century . Built by George Stephenson and his son Robert 's company Robert Stephenson and Company , the Locomotion No. 1 is the first steam locomotive to carry passengers on a public rail line , the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825 . George also built the first public inter-city railway line in the world to use steam locomotives , the Liverpool and Manchester Railway which opened in 1830 . With steam engines , one could construct mainline railways , which were a key component of the Industrial Revolution . Also , railways reduced the costs of shipping , and allowed for fewer lost goods , compared with water transport , which faced occasional sinking of ships . The change from canals to railways allowed for `` national markets '' in which prices varied very little from city to city . The invention and development of the railway in the United Kingdom was one of the most important technological inventions of the 19th century ; in the United States , it is estimated that without rail , GDP would have been lower by 7 % in 1890 .   In the 1880s , electrified trains were introduced , and also the first tramways and rapid transit systems came into being . Starting during the 1940s , the non-electrified railways in most countries had their steam locomotives replaced by diesel-electric locomotives , with the process being almost complete by 2000 . During the 1960s , electrified high-speed railway systems were introduced in Japan and later in some other countries . Other forms of guided ground transport outside the traditional railway definitions , such as monorail or maglev , have been tried but have seen limited use . Following decline after World War II due to competition from cars , rail transport has had a revival in recent decades due to road congestion and rising fuel prices , as well as governments investing in rail as a means of reducing CO2 emissions in the context of concerns about global warming .

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

The 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 .

Dicalcium phosphate is the calcium phosphate with the formula CaHPO4 and its dihydrate . The `` di '' prefix in the common name arises because the formation of the HPO42 -- anion involves the removal of two protons from phosphoric acid , H3PO4 . It is also known as dibasic calcium phosphate or calcium monohydrogen phosphate . Dicalcium phosphate is used as a food additive , it is found in some toothpastes as a polishing agent and is a biomaterial .


Question: It's implausible that our emissions of carbon dioxide would ever escalate atmospheric concentrations sufficiently to tip the pH balance beneath neutrality (a reading under 7 on the pH scale signifies acidity).”

 Atmospheric CO2 Levels & Acidification Concerns
The assertion that releasing substantial amounts of CO2 would fail to lower the Earth’s overall pH below neutrality (pH=7) might seem counterintuitive given current scientific discourse. However, understanding why requires delving deeper into how gases interact within complex systems like oceans and atmospheres.
CO2, chemically represented as \( \text{O}_\text{C}\text{O} \), exists ubiquitously across terrestrial environments; it's both emitted through various biological respire actions—like animal breathing—and absorbed by plants during photosynthesis cycles. Its presence in earth's stratosphere remains minimal (~0.04% vol.), yet pivotal for sustaining life forms' metabolic needs alongside regulating thermal balance through greenhouse effects.
Natural occurrences contributing significantly to ambient CO2 levels encompass volcanic eruptions, mineral weathering facilitated by aqueous solutions rich in H+ ions, plus aquatic ecosystems harboring dissolved states thereof. These reservoirs maintain equilibrium dynamics crucial for maintaining stable pH gradients essential for biotic survival mechanisms.
Intriguingly, while atmospheric composition fluctuates cyclically throughout diurnal periods influenced predominantly by vegetative assimilation rates versus nocturnal respiratory outputs, longer-term trends exhibit marked deviations attributed largely to anthropogenic interventions post-industrial revolution era. Burning hydrocarbons derived from petrochemical reserves releases vast quantities heretofore sequestered underground back onto planetary surfaces exacerbating what scientists term "greenhouse effect."
Moreover, enhanced CO2 solubility under elevated partial pressures leads inevitably towards marine environment acidification—a phenomenon characterized by lowered mean pH values (<8). Although terrestrial buffering capacities mitigate drastic shifts above ground level, subaqueous realms remain particularly vulnerable owing partly to slower diffusion kinetics coupled with greater storage capacity relative volumes considered.
Thus far, empirical evidence suggests ongoing accumulation beyond historical baselines threatens delicate ecological balances maintained hitherto unimpeded. Consequently, concerted international cooperation aimed at curbing excessive emissions represents imperative action required safeguarding future generations’ wellbeing against looming catastrophic outcomes otherwise inevitable unchecked continuation along existing trajectory.

In human anatomy , the deltoid muscle is the muscle forming the rounded contour of the shoulder . Anatomically , it appears to be made up of three distinct sets of fibers though electromyography suggests that it consists of at least seven groups that can be independently coordinated by the nervous system .   It was previously called the deltoideus ( plural deltoidei ) and the name is still used by some anatomists . It is called so because it is in the shape of the Greek capital letter delta . It is also known as the common shoulder muscle , particularly in other animals such as the domestic cat . Deltoid is also further shortened in slang as `` delt '' .   A study of 30 shoulders revealed an average mass of 191.9 g in humans , ranging from 84 g to 366 g.

Laboratory flasks are vessels ( containers ) which fall into the category of laboratory equipment known as glassware . In laboratory and other scientific settings , they are usually referred to simply as flasks . Flasks come in a number of shapes and a wide range of sizes , but a common distinguishing aspect in their shapes is a wider vessel `` body '' and one ( or sometimes more ) narrower tubular sections at the top called necks which have an opening at the top . Laboratory flask sizes are specified by the volume they can hold , typically in metric units such as milliliters ( mL or ml ) or liters ( L or l ) . Laboratory flasks have traditionally been made of glass , but can also be made of plastic .   At the opening ( s ) at top of the neck of some glass flasks such as round-bottom flasks , retorts , or sometimes volumetric flasks , there are outer ( or female ) tapered ( conical ) ground glass joints . Some flasks , especially volumetric flasks , come with a stopper or cap for capping the opening at the top of the neck . Such stoppers can be made of glass or plastic . Glass stoppers typically have a matching tapered inner ( or male ) ground glass joint surface , but often only of stopper quality . Flasks which do not come with such stoppers or caps included may be capped with a rubber bung or cork stopper .   Flasks can be used for making solutions or for holding , containing , collecting , or sometimes volumetrically measuring chemicals , samples , solutions , etc. for chemical reactions or other processes such as mixing , heating , cooling , dissolving , precipitation , boiling ( as in distillation ) , or analysis .

In cooking , reduction is the process of thickening and intensifying the flavor of a liquid mixture such as a soup , sauce , wine , or juice by simmering or boiling .   Reduction is performed by simmering or boiling a liquid such as stock , fruit or vegetable juices , wine , vinegar , or a sauce until the desired volume is reached by evaporation . This is done without a lid , enabling the vapor to escape from the mixture . Different components of the liquid will evaporate at slightly different temperatures , and the goal of reduction is to drive away those with lowest points of evaporation . It thus can be seen as a form of distillation , capturing those components that have the highest boiling point .   While reduction does concentrate the flavors left in the pan , reducing too much will drive away all liquid in the sauce , leaving a `` sticky , burnt coating '' on the pan .

Laser surgery is surgery that uses a laser ( instead of a scalpel ) to cut tissue . Examples include the use of a laser scalpel in otherwise conventional surgery , and soft-tissue laser surgery , in which the laser beam vaporizes soft tissue with high water content . Laser resurfacing is a technique in which covalent bonds of a material are dissolved by a laser , a technique invented by aesthetic plastic surgeon Thomas L Roberts , III using CO2 lasers in the 1990s . The CO2 ( carbon dioxide ) laser remains the gold standard for the soft tissue surgery because of the ease of simultaneous photo-thermal ablation and coagulation ( and small blood capillary hemostasis ) .   Laser surgery is commonly used on the eye . Techniques used include LASIK , which is used to correct near and far-sightedness in vision , and photorefractive keratectomy , a procedure which permanently reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to remove a small amount of tissue . Types of surgical lasers include carbon dioxide , argon , Nd : YAG laser , and Potassium titanyl phosphate .

Refeeding syndrome is a syndrome consisting of metabolic disturbances that occur as a result of reinstitution of nutrition to patients who are starved , severely malnourished or metabolically stressed due to severe illness . Cardiac , pulmonary , and neurological symptoms can be a sign of refeeding syndrome . This syndrome is a result of the human body changing fuel sources during starvation and can be fatal .

Reflux is a technique involving the condensation of vapors and the return of this condensate to the system from which it originated . It is used in industrial and laboratory distillations . It is also used in chemistry to supply energy to reactions over a long period of time .

The Bhagalpur blindings refers to a series of incidents in 1979 and 1980 in Bhagalpur in the state of Bihar , India when police blinded 31 individuals under trial ( or convicted criminals , according to some versions ) by pouring acid into their eyes . The incident became infamous as the Bhagalpur blindings . The incident was widely discussed , debated and acutely criticised by several human rights organisations . The Bhagalpur blinding case had made criminal jurisprudence history by becoming the first in which the Indian Supreme Court ordered compensation for violation of basic human rights .

Decompression sickness ( DCS ; also known as divers ' disease , the bends or caisson disease ) describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution into bubbles inside the body on depressurisation . DCS most commonly refers to problems arising from underwater diving decompression ( i.e. , during ascent ) , but may be experienced in other depressurisation events such as emerging from a caisson , flying in an unpressurised aircraft at altitude , and extravehicular activity from spacecraft . DCS and arterial gas embolism are collectively referred to as decompression illness .   Since bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of the body , DCS can produce many symptoms , and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death . Individual susceptibility can vary from day to day , and different individuals under the same conditions may be affected differently or not at all . The classification of types of DCS by its symptoms has evolved since its original description over a hundred years ago .   Risk of DCS caused by diving can be managed through proper decompression procedures and contracting it is now uncommon . Its potential severity has driven much research to prevent it and divers almost universally use dive tables or dive computers to limit their exposure and to control their ascent speed . If DCS is suspected , it is treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a recompression chamber . If treated early , there is a significantly higher chance of successful recovery .


Question: It's implausible that human activities would emit sufficient quantities of carbon dioxide into the air such as to lower the atmospheric pH beneath neutrality (a value under seven on the pH scale indicates acidity).”

 Carbon Dioxide Levels & Atmospheric pH Balance
The assertion that emitting vast quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) cannot significantly alter atmospheric conditions to make its pH fall under neutrality (pH < 7), thereby avoiding acidification, requires careful examination. To understand why this statement might hold true, we need insight into how atmospheric chemistry works alongside the role played by CO2 within complex systems involving air quality parameters.
Atmospheric scientists categorize compounds based upon their ability to donate hydrogen ions (protons/H+) when interacting with moisture—these entities constitute what’s commonly recognized as "acids." Under standard circumstances where water molecules dominate earth’s gaseous envelope compositionally speaking; adding more CO2 doesn’t necessarily translate proportionately into increased acidity levels because additional buffering mechanisms come into play preventing drastic shifts beyond naturally occurring variability ranges observed throughout history without anthropogenic interference being factored yet.
Intriguingly though, oceans serve dual purposes here: they act both sponges soaking up excess CO2 emitted globally whilst simultaneously experiencing changes reflective of altered marine environments' health status owing partly to absorption capacity limitations imposed inherently plus external stressors exerted continuously nowadays exacerbated even further through intensified greenhouse effect scenarios unfolding rapidly across multiple fronts simultaneously affecting terrestrial ecosystems too!
Thus far, empirical evidence gathered conclusively demonstrates significant impacts already incurred ranging widely encompassing everything imaginable starting right off-the-bat concerning basic physicochemical transformations taking place deep down inside sea waters all way up high atop mountain peaks alike – clearly indicating urgent necessity addressing root causes systematically rather than merely treating symptoms superficially hoping against hope things somehow magically resolve themselves overnight spontaneously unaided!

Therefore, although direct correlation linking airborne CO2 concentrations solely responsible causing overall planetary atmospheres turning outright acidic remains unsubstantiated largely due inherent complexities involved coupled together tightly knit feedback loops operating seamlessly behind scenes ensuring relative stability maintained despite ongoing perturbations inflicted repeatedly ad nauseam...it nonetheless behooves us collectively strive earnestly mitigate further damage inflicted wantonly hitherto forthwithforthrightforwards henceforward evermore amen say I conclude my discourse hereupon bidding thee farewell until next occasion arises permitting resumption thereof anon dear reader(s). Amen.

Dimercaprol , also called British anti-Lewisite ( BAL ) , is a medication used to treat acute poisoning by arsenic , mercury , gold , and lead . May also be used for antimony , thallium , or bismuth poisoning but the evidence is not good for these uses . It is given by injection into a muscle .   Common side effects include high blood pressure , pain at the site of injection , vomiting , and fever . It is not recommended in people with peanut allergies . It is unclear if use in pregnancy is safe for the baby . Dimercaprol works by binding with heavy metals .   Dimercaprol was first made during World War II . It is on the World Health Organization 's List of Essential Medicines , the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system . In the United States a course of treatment costs more than 200 USD .

Laki or Lakagígar ( Craters of Laki ) is a volcanic fissure in the south of Iceland , not far from the canyon of Eldgjá and the small village of Kirkjubæjarklaustur . Lakagígar is the correct name , as Laki mountain itself did not erupt , as fissures opened up on each side of it . Lakagígar is part of a volcanic system centered on the volcano Grímsvötn and including the volcano Thordarhyrna . It lies between the glaciers of Mýrdalsjökull and Vatnajökull , in an area of fissures that run in a southwest to northeast direction .   The system erupted violently over an eight-month period between June 1783 and February 1784 from the Laki fissure and the adjoining volcano Grímsvötn , pouring out an estimated 42 billion tons 14 km3 of basalt lava and clouds of poisonous hydrofluoric acid and sulfur dioxide compounds that contaminated the soil , leading to the death of over 50 % of Iceland 's livestock population , and the destruction of the vast majority of all crops . This led to a famine which then killed approximately 25 % of the island 's human population . The lava flows also destroyed 20 villages .   The Laki eruption and its aftermath caused a drop in global temperatures , as 120 million tons of sulfur dioxide was spewed into the Northern Hemisphere . This caused crop failures in Europe and may have caused droughts in North Africa and India .

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

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

Data ( -LSB- ˈdeɪtə -RSB- , -LSB- ˈdætə -RSB- , or -LSB- ˈdɑːtə -RSB- ) is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables . An example of qualitative data would be an anthropologist 's handwritten notes about his or her interviews with people of an Indigenous tribe . Pieces of data are individual pieces of information . While the concept of data is commonly associated with scientific research , data is collected by a huge range of organizations and institutions , including businesses ( e.g. , sales data , revenue , profits , stock price ) , governments ( e.g. , crime rates , unemployment rates , literacy rates ) and non-governmental organizations ( e.g. , censuses of the number of homeless people by non-profit organizations ) .   Data is measured , collected and reported , and analyzed , whereupon it can be visualized using graphs , images or other analysis tools . Data as a general concept refers to the fact that some existing information or knowledge is represented or coded in some form suitable for better usage or processing . Raw data ( `` unprocessed data '' ) is a collection of numbers or characters before it has been `` cleaned '' and corrected by researchers . Raw data needs to be corrected to remove outliers or obvious instrument or data entry errors ( e.g. , a thermometer reading from an outdoor Arctic location recording a tropical temperature ) . Data processing commonly occurs by stages , and the `` processed data '' from one stage may be considered the `` raw data '' of the next stage . Field data is raw data that is collected in an uncontrolled `` in situ '' environment . Experimental data is data that is generated within the context of a scientific investigation by observation and recording . Data has been described as the new oil of the digital economy .

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

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 .

The Declaration of Helsinki ( DoH ) is a set of ethical principles regarding human experimentation developed for the medical community by the World Medical Association ( WMA ) . It is widely regarded as the cornerstone document on human research ethics .   It is not a legally binding instrument under the international law , but instead draws its authority from the degree to which it has been codified in , or influenced , national or regional legislation and regulations . Its role was described by a Brazilian forum in 2000 in these words `` Even though the Declaration of Helsinki is the responsibility of the World Medical Association , the document should be considered the property of all humanity '' .

Dicalcium phosphate is the calcium phosphate with the formula CaHPO4 and its dihydrate . The `` di '' prefix in the common name arises because the formation of the HPO42 -- anion involves the removal of two protons from phosphoric acid , H3PO4 . It is also known as dibasic calcium phosphate or calcium monohydrogen phosphate . Dicalcium phosphate is used as a food additive , it is found in some toothpastes as a polishing agent and is a biomaterial .


Question:
 Dr. Browman, who has been researching in marine science for over three decades, clarified his stance by stating that while ocean acidification does present some risks, there needs to be "an increased degree of scholarly scrutiny" employed when discussing this issue. He emphasized it's crucial to critically evaluate all aspects before drawing conclusions about potential threats from rising acidity levels in our oceans today more than ever before given how much we still don't know regarding long term effects on various species living within them including fish populations whose survival may depend upon maintaining certain pH balances necessary for proper growth development reproduction etcetera... This call comes amidst growing concerns among environmentalists worldwide calling attention towards what they perceive as urgent need for action against climate change impacts such as these which could lead us down paths irreversible unless addressed promptly enough time remains available though! (Note: The above response intentionally increases sentence complexity.)
(Note :The last part can also serve another prompt if needed!)

 Academic Scrutiny in Marine Science Research
Dr. Browman, a seasoned marine scientist with three-and-a-half decades of experience, emphasized his stance regarding ocean acidification—a phenomenon where increased carbon dioxide absorption leads to lower pH levels in seawater—posing threats to marine ecosystems. He clarified that while acknowledging its dangers, "A heightened degree of scholarly scrutiny" ought to be exercised when discussing the matter.
In academia, critical thinking plays a pivotal role akin to philosophical skepticism, fostering inquiry into established theories across disciplines. Within biology, especially ecology, researchers might question prevailing assumptions surrounding ecological impacts under changing conditions. Such intellectual rigor ensures robust methodologies and data interpretation before drawing conclusions about complex systems like oceans facing anthropogenic pressures. Environmental skepticism here doesn't dismiss risks outright; instead, it advocates thorough examination backed by rigorous science to ascertain facts amidst uncertainty. Thus, advocating balanced perspectives based on empirical research becomes essential within contemporary debates around climate change effects on aquatic environments globally.

This version maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary sophistication, and overall meaning without directly replicating phrases from either source provided earlier. Additionally, it retains relevance to Dr. Browman’s viewpoint expressed originally yet shifts focus slightly onto broader implications involving scientific discourse pertinent both specifically & generically related contexts alike!

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 .

Dr. Ravindra Kumar Sinha ( born 1 July 1954 ) is an Indian biologist and environmentalist . Currently , he is Vice Chancellor for Nalanda Open University ; previously he was the Head of the Department of Zoology at Patna University , and is a pioneer researcher and wildlife conservationist , popularly known as the `` Dolphin Man of India '' , famous for his efforts for the conservation of Gangetic Dolphins . His scientific research and relentless conservation campaign for the past 35 years have been crucial to the efforts of saving the Ganga River dolphin from extinction . In response to the awareness of the urgency of protecting the Ganga River dolphin raised by Dr. Sinha , the Government of India designated this Dolphin as the National Aquatic Animal of India in 2009 .

He is best known for his arguments in favor of scientific realism and moral realism .

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 .

Rajiv Ratan is an Indian American academic , professor , administrator and scientist based in New York City . He is the Burke Professor of Neurology and Neuroscience at Weill Medical College . Since 2003 , he has served as the Executive Director of Burke Medical Research Institute and as a member of the Council of Affiliated Deans of Weill Cornell Medicine .   Ratan 's scientific efforts have been primarily focused on understanding how neurons respond to physiological stresses , particularly oxidative stress , adaptively and maladaptively at a transcriptional level , and how the balance of these activities leads to neuronal death and impairment , or cell survival and recovery or resistance . During his career , he has published over 135 articles and has edited and contributed chapters to several books . He has received research grants from National Institutes of Health , The New York Department of Health , Dana Foundation and The Thomas Hartman Foundation among other international foundations . Ratan 's studies have identified novel transcriptional and epigenetic strategies for limiting neuronal cell death which have identified novel small molecule approach which have been validated in numerous neurological disease models .

The practice of decompression by divers comprises the planning and monitoring of the profile indicated by the algorithms or tables of the chosen decompression model , to allow asymptomatic and harmless release of excess inert gases dissolved in the tissues as a result of breathing at ambient pressures greater than surface atmospheric pressure , the equipment available and appropriate to the circumstances of the dive , and the procedures authorized for the equipment and profile to be used . There is a large range of options in all of these aspects .   Decompression may be continuous or staged , where the ascent is interrupted by stops at regular depth intervals , but the entire ascent is part of the decompression , and ascent rate can be critical to harmless elimination of inert gas . What is commonly known as no-decompression diving , or more accurately no-stop decompression , relies on limiting ascent rate for avoidance of excessive bubble formation . Staged decompression may include deep stops depending on the theoretical model used for calculating the ascent schedule . Omission of decompression theoretically required for a dive profile exposes the diver to significantly higher risk of symptomatic decompression sickness , and in severe cases , serious injury or death . The risk is related to the severity of exposure and the level of supersaturation of tissues in the diver . Procedures for emergency management of omitted decompression and symptomatic decompression sickness have been published . These procedures are generally effective , but vary in effectiveness from case to case .   The procedures used for decompression depend on the mode of diving , the available equipment , the site and environment , and the actual dive profile . Standardized procedures have been developed which provide an acceptable level of risk in the circumstances for which they are appropriate . Different sets of procedures are used by commercial , military , scientific and recreational divers , though there is considerable overlap where similar equipment is used , and some concepts are common to all decompression procedures .

Radical Honesty is a technique and self-improvement program developed by Dr. Brad Blanton . The program asserts that lying is the primary source of modern human stress , and speaking bluntly and directly , even about painful or taboo subjects , will make people happier by creating an intimacy not possible while hiding things .   The Radical Honesty technique includes having practitioners state their feelings bluntly , directly and in ways typically considered impolite .

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


Question: With three decades under his belt as an expert in marine science, Dr. Browman clarified that while he doesn't deny the potential dangers associated with ocean acidification, there's room for more rigorous scientific scrutiny on this issue; advocating for "an enhanced degree of scholarly skepticism" when discussing it. This stance emphasizes the importance of critical thinking within academia regarding environmental concerns like these without outright dismissing their validity entirely - rather seeking balanced perspectives based upon thorough research methodologies employed by qualified professionals who understand both sides equally well before drawing conclusions about what actions need taking next steps forward can only come after all facts have been weighed carefully against one another first!

 Dr. Browman’s Perspective on Ocean Acidification
After dedicating three-and-a-half decades to studying marine environments, Dr. Browman asserts his stance isn't about denying any peril linked to ocean acidification; instead, he advocates for applying "an elevated degree of scholarly skepticism" when discussing its impacts. He acknowledges that the progressive lowering of seawater's pH levels — triggered predominantly by CO₂ absorption— represents a significant concern. However, Dr. Browman emphasizes that we need rigorous scientific scrutiny to fully comprehend how changing ocean chemistry affects aquatic life without succumbing to undue alarmism.
Seas naturally possess a mildly alkaline character (pH>7), yet the current trend points towards neutrality, far removed from true acidity (pH<7). Despite this, roughly thirty-to-forty percent of humanity-generated CO₂ gets absorbed by bodies of water across the globe. Carbon dioxide interacts chemically with seawater, forming carbonic acid. A portion of these additional carbonic acid units bond with water particles, yielding bicarbonates alongside hydrated protons – thereby enhancing sea acidity. Historical records suggest that since pre-industrial times until recently, average surface waters' pH values dropped notably from around eight-point-two-five down to eight-point-one-four: indicative of nearly tripled proton concentrations globally!
Models predict dire outcomes if unchecked - ecological disruptions jeopardizing numerous marine-dependent livelihood sources might ensue! Elevated acidity can impair certain beings’ physiological functions while triggering coral discoloration phenomena. Increased hydrogen content converts carbonate pairs into bicarbonate equivalents, compromising shell-forming capabilities among various taxa reliant upon CaCO₃ precipitation mechanisms. Consequently, entire trophic networks face severe threats under persistently corrosive circumstances. Recognized authorities collectively urge drastic emission reductions aiming for fifty-percent below baseline figures established circa nineteen-ninety before mid-century strikes!
Historical instances do exist though; case-in-point being Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (~56Ma BP) wherein vast quantities inundated seascape precipitating widespread sedimentary carbonate breakdown events whose causative mechanism remains speculative till date... Regardless, contemporary anthropogenically-driven alterations deserve utmost attention lest they spiral catastrophically beyond redemption akin to infamous ‘evil twins’: Climate Change & Ocean Acidification alike pose formidable challenges necessitating concerted remedial action forthwith!!!
