Question: However, scientists assert that the shift towards renewable resources must accelerate significantly in order to avoid the most severe impacts of environmental degradation caused by climate change.

 Accelerating Energy Transition Amidst Climate Crisis
Experts emphasize that accelerating the pace of transitioning to renewable energy sources has become imperative if we aim to mitigate severe impacts of climate change. Despite advancements in green technology and growing public awareness about sustainability issues, current measures fall short of what science indicates necessary. According to numerous research papers published within leading academic journals, only drastic acceleration can effectively counteract escalating temperatures linked directly back to human-driven CO2 emissions. Moreover, prestigious institutions globally advocate urgent action through official policy recommendations echoing IPCC findings; yet skeptics persist despite overwhelming evidence supporting mainstream views held amongst professional circles (>95%). Ultimately, collective effort remains crucial now more than ever before given rapidly closing windows for intervention.

Land consumption as part of human resource consumption is the conversion of land with healthy soil and intact habitats into areas for industrial agriculture , traffic ( road building ) and especially urban human settlements . More formally , the EEA has identifid 3 land consuming activities :  The expansion of built-up area which can be directly measured ;  the absolute extent of land that is subject to exploitation by agriculture , forestry or other economic activities ; and  the over-intensive exploitation of land that is used for agriculture and forestry .  In all of those respects , land consumption is equivalent to typical land use in industrialized regions and civilizations .   Since often aforementioned conversion activities are virtually irreversible , the term land loss is also used . From 1990 to 2000 , 1.4 e6ha of open space were consumed in the U.S. . In Germany , land is being consumed at a rate of more than 70 ha every day ( ~ 250 e3ha per 10 years ) .   Land loss can also happen due to natural factors , like erosion or desertification - nevertheless most of those can also eventually be tracked back to human activities . Another slightly different interpretation of the term is the forced displacement or compulsory acquisition of a native people or settlers from their original land due to land grabbing , etc. . Again , in most cases , this will be due to economic reasons like search for profitable investment and commodification of natural resources .   Even though global land loss progresses at an alarming rate , the land footprint , the area required by some Western countries can a lot larger than the land actually used or even available in the country itself .   While land prices have surged in the first few years of the 21st century , land consumption economy still lacks environmental full-cost accounting to add the long-term costs of environmental degradation .

Regime change is the replacement of one government regime with another . Use of the term dates to at least 1925 . Regime change may replace all or part of the state 's most critical leadership system , administrative apparatus , or bureaucracy .   It can be the deliberate product of outside force , as in warfare . Rollback is the military strategy to impose a regime change by defeating an enemy and removing its regime by force . Regime change can occur through inside change caused by revolution , coup d'état or reconstruction following the failure of a state .

Deindustrialisation refers to the process of social and economic change caused by the removal or reduction of industrial capacity or activity in a country or region , especially heavy industry or manufacturing industry . It is the opposite of industrialisation . Deindustrialisation has taken place in many nations over the years , as social changes and urbanisation have changed the financial demographics of the world . Phenomena such as the mechanisation of labour render industrial societies obsolete , and lead to the de-establishment of industrial communities .

Law enforcement is any system by which some members of society act in an organized manner to enforce the law by discovering , deterring , rehabilitating , or punishing people who violate the rules and norms governing that society . Although the term may encompass entities such as courts and prisons , it is most frequently applied to those who directly engage in patrols or surveillance to dissuade and discover criminal activity , and those who investigate crimes and apprehend offenders , a task typically carried out by the police or another law enforcement agency . Furthermore , although law enforcement may be most concerned with the prevention and punishment of crimes , organizations exist to discourage a wide variety of non-criminal violations of rules and norms , effected through the imposition of less severe consequences .

Rapid modes of evolution have been proposed by several notable biologists after Charles Darwin proposed his theory of evolutionary descent by natural selection . In his book On the Origin of Species ( 1859 ) , Darwin stressed the gradual nature of descent , writing :   It may be said that natural selection is daily and hourly scrutinizing , throughout the world , every variation , even the slightest ; rejecting that which is bad , preserving and adding up all that is good ; silently and insensibly working , whenever and wherever opportunity offers , at the improvement of each organic being in relation to its organic and inorganic conditions of life . We see nothing of these slow changes in progress , until the hand of time has marked the long lapses of ages , and then so imperfect is our view into long past geological ages , that we only see that the forms of life are now different from what they formerly were . ( 1859 )

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 .

The dark-sky movement is a campaign to reduce light pollution . The advantages of reducing light pollution include an increased number of stars visible at night , reducing the effects of electric lighting on the environment , and cutting down on energy usage . Earth Hour and National Dark-Sky Week are two examples of such efforts .   The movement started with professional and amateur astronomers alarmed that nocturnal skyglow from urban areas was blotting out the sight of stars . For example , the world-famous Palomar Observatory in California is threatened by sky-glow from the nearby city of Escondido and local businesses . For similar reasons , astronomers in Arizona helped push the governor there to veto a bill in 2012 which would have lifted a ban on illuminated billboards .   Nocturnal animals can be harmed by light pollution because they are biologically evolved to be dependent on an environment with a certain amount of hours of uninterrupted daytime and nighttime . The over-illumination of the night sky is affecting these organisms ( especially birds ) . This biological study of darkness is called scotobiology . Light pollution has also been found to affect human circadian rhythms .   The dark-sky movement encourages the use of full-cutoff fixtures that cast little or no light upward in public areas and generally to encourage communities to adopt lighting regulations . A 2011 project is to establish `` dark sky oasis '' in suburban areas .

Regenerative economics is an economic system that works to regenerate capital assets . A capital asset is an asset that provides goods and/or services that are required for , or contribute to , our well being . In standard economic theory , one can either `` regenerate '' one 's capital assets or consume them until the point where the asset can not produce a viable stream of goods and/or services . What sets regenerative economics apart from standard economic theory is that it takes into account and gives hard economic value to the principal or original capital assets -- the earth and the sun . We can not do much to affect the sun although we can value access to the sun in such areas where access can be influenced . Therefore , most of Regenerative Economics focuses on the earth and the goods and services it supplies .   Regenerative economics is completely comfortable within the capitalist economic framework . Recognizing the earth as the original capital asset places the true value on the human support system known as the environment . Not having this original value properly recognized has created the unsustainable economic condition referred to as uneconomic growth , a phrase coined by leading ecological economist and steady-state theorist Herman Daly , as stated in the book Reshaping the Built Environment . The authors of the regenerative economic theory believe that uneconomic growth is the opposite of regenerative economics .

Renewers of society is a title given by the Lutheran Book of Worship to selected individuals commemorated in its Calendar of Saints whom it sees as having contributed dramatically to the development and vitality of society . The individuals specifically designated by one or more Lutheran churches with this term include :   Martin Luther King , Jr. , commemorated on January 15  Harriet Tubman , commemorated on March 10  Sojourner Truth , commemorated on March 10  Toyohiko Kagawa , commemorated on April 23  Florence Nightingale , commemorated on August 13  Clara Maass , commemorated on August 13  Dag Hammarskjöld , commemorated on September 18 .  Theodor Fliedner , commemorated on October 4  Martin de Porres , commemorated on November 3 .  Elizabeth of Hungary , commemorated on November 17 .

In computer programming , resource management refers to techniques for managing resources ( components with limited availability ) .   Computer programs may manage their own resources by using features exposed by programming languages ( is a survey article contrasting different approaches ) , or may elect to manage them by a host -- an operating system or virtual machine -- or another program .   Host-based management is known as resource tracking , and consists of cleaning up resource leaks : terminating access to resources that have been acquired but not released after use . This is known as reclaiming resources , and is analogous to garbage collection for memory . On many systems the operating system reclaims resources after the process makes the exit system call .


Question: However, scientists assert that the shift towards renewable resources must accelerate significantly to avoid the most severe consequences of environmental degradation caused by climate change.

 Accelerating Energy Transition Amidst Climate Change Challenges

Experts emphasize that accelerating the pace of transitioning to renewable energy sources has become imperative if we aim to mitigate severe consequences associated with escalating climate change. Such drastic measures are necessary because they can help stabilize atmospheric temperatures before reaching irreversible tipping points. Historical instances demonstrate how swiftly climates can transform; examples include the Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse, Younger Dryas period, and the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum - all characterized by significant shifts occurring much faster than anticipated based solely upon external forcings alone (like volcanic eruptions). These occurrences highlight two key aspects: first, internal mechanisms exist capable enough to amplify minor disturbances leading eventually into entirely different equilibrium conditions; secondly, there exists multiple steady-states possible depending largely upon prevailing circumstances surrounding each case study respectively.

In modern contexts where anthropogenic influences dominate discussions around planetary health issues – particularly concerning rising CO2 levels linked directly back onto mankind’s insatiable appetite regarding non-renewables exploitation practices–it becomes increasingly clear why urgent action now might prove pivotal later down line especially considering recent projections suggesting departure beyond historical norms potentially happening sooner rather than later i.e., circa mid-century timeframe impacting billions globally alongside jeopardizing countless ecosystems harboring unparalleled biodiversities therein. Thus, speeding up green initiatives isn't just desirable but absolutely essential moving forward given current trajectories hinting towards catastrophic outcomes otherwise unmitigated.

Recruitment ( hiring ) is a core function of human resource management . Recruitment refers to the overall process of attracting , selecting and appointing suitable candidates  for jobs ( either permanent or temporary ) within an organization . Recruitment can also refer to processes involved in choosing individuals for unpaid positions , such as voluntary roles or unpaid trainee roles . Managers , human resource generalists and recruitment specialists may be tasked with carrying out recruitment , but in some cases public-sector employment agencies , commercial recruitment agencies , or specialist search consultancies are used to undertake parts of the process . Internet-based technologies to support all aspects of recruitment have become widespread .

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

René Jules Dubos ( February 20 , 1901 -- February 20 , 1982 ) was a French-born American microbiologist , experimental pathologist , environmentalist , humanist , and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction for his book So Human An Animal . He is credited for having made famous Jacques Ellul 's environmental maxim , `` Think globally , act locally '' ( penser global , agir local ) .   Dubos devoted most of his professional life to the empirical study of microbial diseases and to the analysis of the environmental and social factors that affect the welfare of humans . His pioneering research in isolating antibacterial substances from certain soil microorganisms led to the discovery of major antibiotics . He performed groundbreaking research and wrote extensively on a number of subjects , including tuberculosis , pneumonia , and the mechanisms of acquired immunity , natural susceptibility , and resistance to infection . Aside from a period from 1942 to 1944 when he was George Fabyan Professor of Comparative Pathology and professor of tropical medicine at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health , his scientific career was spent entirely at The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research , later renamed The Rockefeller University .   In later years , Dubos explored the interplay of environmental forces and the physical , mental and spiritual development of mankind . The main tenets of his humanistic philosophy were : global problems are conditioned by local circumstances and choices , social evolution enables us to rethink human actions and change direction to promote an ecologically balanced environment , the future is optimistic since human life and nature are resilient and we have become increasingly aware of the dangers inherent in natural forces and human activities , and we can benefit from our successes and apply the lessons learned to solving other contemporary environmental problems .   Dubos is often attributed as the author of the popular maxim `` Think Globally , Act Locally '' that refers to the argument that global environmental problems can turn into action only by considering ecological , economic , and cultural differences of our local surroundings . This motto appeared for the first time in 1978 , six years after Dubos served as advisor to the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment . In 1979 , Dubos suggested that ecological consciousness should begin at home . He urged creation of a world order in which `` natural and social units maintain or recapture their identity , yet interplay with each other through a rich system of communications '' . In the 1980s , Dubos held to his thoughts on acting locally , and felt that issues involving the environment must be dealt with in their `` unique physical , climatic , and cultural contexts '' . Dubos ' approach to building a resilient and constructive relationship between people and the Earth continues to resonate .   For the academic years 1963 -- 1964 and 1964 -- 1965 , he was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies of Wesleyan University . He served as chairman of the trustees of the René Dubos Center for Human Environment , a non-profit education and research organization that was dedicated in his honor in 1980 . The mission of the center , which was co-founded by William and Ruth Eblen , is to `` assist the general public and decision-makers in formulating policies for the resolution of environmental problems and the creation of environmental values . '' Dubos remained actively involved with the Center until his death in 1982 . He also served on the board of trustees of Science Service , now known as Society for Science & the Public , from 1949 to 1952 .

A research institute is an establishment endowed for doing research . Research institutes may specialize in basic research or may be oriented to applied research . Although the term often implies natural science research , there are also many research institutes in the social sciences as well , especially for sociological and historical research purposes .

Renewable Electricity and the Grid : The Challenge of Variability is a 2007 book edited by Godfrey Boyle which examines the significance of the issue of variability of renewable energy supplies in the electricity grid .

Renewable energy in Albania ranges from biomass , geothermal , hydropower , solar , wind energy in Albania . Albania relies mostly on hydroelectric resources , therefore , it has difficulties when water levels are low . Albania has a great potential for solar , wind , and geothermal energy . The climate in Albania is Mediterranean so it possesses considerable potential for solar energy . Similarly , the mountain elevations provide good areas for wind projects . There is also potential for geothermal energy because Albania has natural wells .

Approximately 40 % of primary energy is from renewable energy sources in New Zealand . Approximately 80 % of electricity comes from renewable energy , primarily hydropower and geothermal power .

 Investing in Clean Energy: A Pathway Toward Healthier Communities and Climate Stability
Transitioning to renewable energy sources might initially incur higher expenses compared to traditional methods; however, long-term benefits significantly outweigh initial costs. By mitigating climate change impacts and improving public health through reduced exposure to pollutants linked to asthma, heart disease, and premature mortality, clean energy investments prove economically advantageous. Fossil fuels contribute heavily to atmospheric contamination, exacerbating respiratory illnesses among vulnerable populations globally. Adopting sustainable alternatives ensures healthier environments while addressing urgent ecological concerns—demonstrated by studies estimating millions saved annually via decreased healthcare expenditures related to pollution-related ailments.
The rationale behind prioritizing green technologies hinges upon combating detrimental effects attributable to widespread reliance on coal, oil, and gas industries known contributors to hazardous airborne particles affecting ecosystems and inhabitants alike. Embracing eco-friendly solutions fosters resilient communities less susceptible to costly medical interventions necessitated by chronic conditions exacerbated by contaminated atmospheres. Ultimately, embracing renewables safeguards planetary well-being alongside fostering economic prosperity devoid of environmentally induced financial burdens.

Debiasing is the reduction of bias , particularly with respect to judgment and decision making . Biased judgment and decision making is that which systematically deviates from the prescriptions of objective standards such as facts , logic , and rational behavior or prescriptive norms . Biased judgment and decision making exists in consequential domains such as medicine , law , policy , and business , as well as in everyday life . Investors , for example , tend to hold onto falling stocks too long and sell rising stocks too quickly . Employers exhibit considerable discrimination in hiring and employment practices , and many parents continue to believe that vaccinations cause autism despite knowing that this link is based on falsified evidence . At an individual level , people who exhibit less decision bias have more intact social environments , reduced risk of alcohol and drug use , lower childhood delinquency rates , and superior planning and problem solving abilities .   Debiasing can occur within the decision maker . For example , a person may learn or adopt better strategies by which to make judgments and decisions . Debiasing can also occur as a result of changes in external factors , such as changing the incentives relevant to a decision or the manner in which the decision is made .   There are three general approaches to debiasing judgment and decision making , and the costly errors with which biased judgment and decision making is associated : changing incentives , nudging , and training . Each approach has strengths and weaknesses . For more details , see Morewedge and colleagues ( 2015 ) .

Renewable energy in Morocco represented 0.4 % of the national energy balance ( excluding biomass ) and nearly 10 % of electricity production in 2007 . Renewable energy is supported by strong hydropower sources and the newly installed wind energy parks ( 147 MW installed and 975 MW under deployment ) . Morocco plans a $ 13 billion expansion of wind , solar and hydroelectric power generation capacity and associated infrastructure that should see the country get 42 % of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020 . The Moroccan government is keen on  increasing renewable energy production , as Morocco 's January -- September oil bill reached about USD 1.4 billion in subsidies in 2009 , registering a fall of 57.9 % compared to 2008 .

Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity . It may be a normal reaction to occurring life events or circumstances , a symptom of a medical condition , a side effect of drugs or medical treatments , or a symptom of certain psychiatric syndromes , such as the mood disorders major depressive disorder and dysthymia . Depression in childhood and adolescence is similar to adult major depressive disorder , although young sufferers may exhibit increased irritability or aggressive and self-destructive behavior , rather than the all-encompassing sadness associated with adult forms of depression . Children who are under stress , experience loss , or have attention , learning , behavioral , or anxiety disorders are at a higher risk for depression . Childhood depression is often co-morbid with mental disorders outside of other mood disorders ; most commonly anxiety disorder and conduct disorder . Depression also tends to run in families . Psychologists have developed different treatments to assist children and adolescents suffering from depression , though the legitimacy of the diagnosis of childhood depression as a psychiatric disorder , as well as the efficacy of various methods of assessment and treatment , remains controversial .

Respiratory Health Association is a not-for-profit organization located on Chicago 's Near West Side .   Initially founded as the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute , the organization has undergone several name changes since 1906 to incorporate its expanding mission . Today , the association fights lung disease and promotes healthy lungs through research , advocacy and educational efforts on behalf of individuals and families affected by lung cancer , asthma , chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) and other lung diseases .   The organization serves people living with lung disease through community-based interventions , including assisting with grants for research , creating policy initiatives that address long-term concerns on respiratory diseases , and developing programs to prevent lung disease .

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 .

Dariali Hydropower Plant , referred to as Dariali HPP , is currently being constructed at the territory of Kazbegi Municipality in close vicinity of Russian-Georgian border on the right slope of the Tergi River 160 km away from Tbilisi . The project envisages the construction of a run-of-the-river hydroelectric plant with installed capacity of 108 MW .   According to the environmental and social policies of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ( EBRD ) , the project was awarded the `` A '' category . The categorization is based largely on the specific location of the proposed project and sensitive environment connected to the development of hydropower plants in Georgia , in general . The construction of the project lasts 4 years and after entering an operational period the expected life-span of the project is 40 years . Preliminary commencement of the Dariali HPP is planned for spring 2016 .   Dariali Hydropower Plant by the amount of generated energy is the fourth hydropower plant in Georgia . It will make annually a contribution to the local budget in kind of the property tax . The developed layout proposes the substation of Dariali HPP will be connected to the National Grid via Dariali 110kV transmission overhead line . The agreement on construction was signed between the Government of Georgia and the company Dariali Energy JSC on May 19 , 2011 . Before EBRD loan approval the company had actively used the domestic ( more expensive ) resource to boost the project development as much as possible . The company is supported by a top European project engineering conglomerate ( Landsvirkjun Power & Verkis ) ( Iceland ) which provides the project 's engineering supervision and preparation and implementation of the construction project . Construction and electromechanical contracts have been executed according to FIDIC standards , which makes the employer-contractor relationship the most transparent and effective .   Total cost of the project is estimated at USD 120 million . On August 2014 , the company Dariali Energy JSC and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development signed loan agreement for up to US 80 million for the financing of the development , construction and operation of Dariali HPP , which comprises the first project financing and first successful public private partnership project in energy sector of Georgia.This project is one of the first energy projects in Georgia to rely on limited recourse to the Sponsors and , under an A/B loan syndication structure , could provide a demonstration of new financing methods to other project developers in the market . EMEA Finance 's Project Finance Awards 2014 awarded Dariali Energy JSC for the Best water project in Central and Eastern Europe .   The Project has the potential to be the first energy project to deliver carbon neutral construction in Georgia . It includes a reforestation component which would target the full compensation of all greenhouse gas emissions associated with the project over its lifecycle ( construction and operation ) , through the capture of carbon in vegetation . The Dariali hydropower plant will cause the reduction of more than 250,000 tons of greenhouse gas annually .

A real estate transaction is the process whereby rights in a unit of property ( or designated real estate ) is transferred between two or more parties , e.g. in case of conveyance one party being the seller ( s ) and the other being the buyer ( s ) . It can often be quite complicated due to the complexity of the property rights being transferred , the amount of money being exchanged , and government regulations . Conventions and requirements also vary considerably among different countries of the world and among smaller legal entities ( jurisdictions ) .   In more abstract terms , a real estate transaction , like other financial transactions , causes transaction costs . To identify and possibly reduce these transaction costs , the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD ) addressed the issue through a study commissioned by the European Commission ,  and through a research action .   The mentioned research action ` Modelling Real Property Transactions ' investigated methods to describe selected transactions in a formal way , to allow for comparisons across countries / jurisdictions . Descriptions were performed both using a more simple format , a Basic Use Case template , and more advanced applications of the Unified Modelling Language . Process models were compared through an ontology-based methodology , and national property transaction costs were estimated for Finland and Denmark , based on the directions of the United Nations System of National Accounts .   Real estate transactions : subdivision , conveyance , and mortgaging , as they are performed in the five Nordic countries are described in some detail . A translation into English is available for the Danish part .

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

Dental braces ( also known as braces , orthodontic cases , or cases ) are devices used in orthodontics that align and straighten teeth and help to position them with regard to a person 's bite , while also working to improve dental health . They are often used to correct underbites , as well as malocclusions , overbites , open bites , deep bites , cross bites , crooked teeth , and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw . Braces can be either cosmetic or structural . Dental braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help widen the palate or jaws and to otherwise assist in shaping the teeth and jaws .

 Clean Energy Transition: Short-Term Costs vs Long-Term Benefits
The transition to clean energy sources might initially incur additional expenses; however, its long-term advantages significantly outweigh any initial costs. By mitigating climate damage and alleviating health issues linked to polluted air, we invest in sustainable futures while saving economically in healthcare expenditures and disaster recovery funds.

Clean energies harness nature’s abundant offerings - sunbeams, zephyrs, rainfall, tidal movements, oceanic swells, earth's internal warmth – ensuring perpetual availability unlike finite reserves. These eco-friendly alternatives contribute substantially across multiple sectors encompassing electrical output, thermal regulation via cooling/heating mechanisms applicable both indoors & outdoors plus facilitating transport solutions especially within isolated communities lacking grid connectivity.

According to reports published under auspices of Renewables International Network(RIN) during year ending December'16 ; renewables accounted nearly fifth portion(around nineteen decimal points two percentage) concerning humanity’s aggregate energetic intake besides constituting almost quarter part(twenty three decimals seven percentages precisely speaking!) pertaining specifically towards electric current productions spanning calendar years fourteen fifteen consecutively! Traditional biomass constitutes roughly nine tenths whereas combined contributions arising outta contemporary biotic substances alongside terrestrial exothermic phenomena coupled solarean radiations sum up approximately forty second hundredths fractions. Hydroelectricity claims slightly less than fourth proportion whereas eolic, heliothermal, tellurian emanations together biomass-derived voltages make up barely above twenty seconds percents globally. Financial inflows targeted exclusively onto green tech exceeded USD figure two eighty six billions mark solely throughout fiscal period eighteen seventeen evidencing robust engagements particularly emanating outta populous realms viz Celestial Empire along Stars Stripes dominions emphasizing predominantly upon aeolian, hydric, photoactive plus biogas avenues. Estimations reveal existence circa seven millions job opportunities intimately interlinked vis-a-vis regenerative vitality enterprises universally. Per annum installations involving novel electrodynamic capacities surpassed halfway milestone whereby latter comprised entirely reinvigorated modalities recently.

Contrary to non-renewable counterparts whose exploitations remain confined largely inside handful territories, renewable feedstocks pervade expansively geographic terrains thereby conferring strategic autonomy regarding energetic supplies. Swift diffusion of green methodologies accompanied enhanced energetical efficiencies engenders profound repercussions comprising bolstered safety indices, curtailment of atmospheric pollutants’ discharges paralleled augmented financial gains. Systematic scrutiny conducted hitherto substantiates proposition stipulating imposition of punitive measures against perpetrators responsible for carbonaceous contaminations triggering planetary overheating shall spur intensifications of cleantech deployments.

Regeneration is the ability for a cell , tissue , or organism to recover from damage . It can also be used to describe the ability of an ecosystem -- specifically , the environment and its living population -- to recover from damage .   Resilience to minor disturbances is one characteristic feature of healthy ecosystems . Following major ( lethal ) disturbances , such as a fire or pest outbreak in a forest , an immediate return to the previous dynamic equilibrium will not be possible . Instead , pioneering species will occupy , compete for space , and establish themselves in the newly opened habitat . The new growth of seedlings and community assembly process is known as regeneration in ecology . As ecological succession sets in , a forest will slowly regenerate towards its former state within the succession ( climax or any intermediate stage ) , provided that all outer parameters ( climate , soil fertility availability of nutrients , animal migration paths , air pollution or the absence thereof , etc. ) remain unchanged .   In certain regions like Australia , natural wildfire is a necessary condition for a cyclically stable ecosystem with cyclic regeneration .

The process of a laminar flow becoming turbulent is known as laminar-turbulent transition . This is an extraordinarily complicated process which at present is not fully understood . However , as the result of many decades of intensive research , certain features have become gradually clear , and it is known that the process proceeds through a series of stages . `` Transitional flow '' can refer to transition in either direction , that is laminar-turbulent transitional or turbulent-laminar transitional flow .   While the process applies to any fluid flow , it is most often used in the context of boundary layers due to their ubiquity in real fluid flows and their importance in many fluid-dynamic processes .

Renewable energy in Albania ranges from biomass , geothermal , hydropower , solar , wind energy in Albania . Albania relies mostly on hydroelectric resources , therefore , it has difficulties when water levels are low . Albania has a great potential for solar , wind , and geothermal energy . The climate in Albania is Mediterranean so it possesses considerable potential for solar energy . Similarly , the mountain elevations provide good areas for wind projects . There is also potential for geothermal energy because Albania has natural wells .

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

Degradation may refer to :  Biodegradation of organic substances by living organisms  Cashiering , whereby a military officer is dismissed for misconduct  Reduction in rank , whereby a military officer is reduced to a lower rank for misconduct  Degradation ( geology )  Environmental degradation in ecology  `` Degradation '' , a song by the Violent Femmes , from Add It Up ( 1981 -- 1993 )  Degradation ( telecommunications ) , of an electronic signal  Elegant degradation , gradual rather than sudden  Graceful degradation , in a fault-tolerant system  Polymer degradation as plastics age

A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element . In electronic circuits , resistors are used to reduce current flow , adjust signal levels , to divide voltages , bias active elements , and terminate transmission lines , among other uses . High-power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power as heat may be used as part of motor controls , in power distribution systems , or as test loads for generators .  Fixed resistors have resistances that only change slightly with temperature , time or operating voltage . Variable resistors can be used to adjust circuit elements ( such as a volume control or a lamp dimmer ) , or as sensing devices for heat , light , humidity , force , or chemical activity .   Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are ubiquitous in electronic equipment . Practical resistors as discrete components can be composed of various compounds and forms . Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits .   The electrical function of a resistor is specified by its resistance : common commercial resistors are manufactured over a range of more than nine orders of magnitude . The nominal value of the resistance falls within the manufacturing tolerance , indicated on the component .

Resource recovery is the selective extraction of disposed materials for a specific next use , such as recycling , composting or energy generation in order to extract the maximum benefits from products , delay the consumption of virgin resources , and reduce the amount of waste generated . Resource recovery differs from the management of waste by using life-cycle analysis ( LCA ) to offer alternatives to landfill disposal of discarded materials . A number of studies on municipal solid waste ( MSW ) have indicated that administration , source separation and collection followed by reuse and recycling of the non-organic fraction and energy and compost/fertilizer production of the organic waste fraction via anaerobic digestion to be the favoured alternatives to landfill disposal .   Similarly , in the context of sanitation , the term `` resource recovery '' is used to denote sanitation systems that aim to recover and reuse the resources that are contained in wastewater and excreta ( urine and feces ) . These include : nutrients ( nitrogen and phosphorus ) , organic matter , energy and water . This concept is also referred to as ecological sanitation or productive sanitation .

Diabetes mellitus type 1 ( also known as type 1 diabetes ) is a form of diabetes mellitus in which not enough insulin is produced . This results in high blood sugar levels in the body . The classical symptoms are frequent urination , increased thirst , increased hunger , and weight loss . Additional symptoms may include blurry vision , feeling tired , and poor healing . Symptoms typically develop over a short period of time .   The cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown . However , it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors . Risk factors include having a family member with the condition . The underlying mechanism involves an autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas . Diabetes is diagnosed by testing the level of sugar or A1C in the blood . Type 1 diabetes can be distinguished from type 2 by testing for the presence of autoantibodies .   There is no known way to prevent type 1 diabetes . Treatment with insulin is typically required for survival . Insulin therapy is usually given by injection just under the skin but can also be delivered by an insulin pump . A diabetic diet and exercise are an important part of management . Untreated , diabetes can cause many complications . Complications of relatively rapid onset include diabetic ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar coma . Long-term complications include heart disease , stroke , kidney failure , foot ulcers and damage to the eyes . Furthermore , complications may arise from low blood sugar caused by excessive dosing of insulin .   Type 1 diabetes makes up an estimated 5 -- 10 % of all diabetes cases . The number of people affected globally is unknown , although it is estimated that about 80,000 children develop the disease each year . Within the United States the number of people affected is estimated at one to three million . Rates of disease vary widely with approximately 1 new case per 100,000 per year in East Asia and Latin America and around 30 new cases per 100,000 per year in Scandinavia and Kuwait . It typically begins in children and young adults .


Question: The concept of 'clean coal' involves capturing carbon dioxide emissions produced by coal-fired power stations and storing them subterraneously. This method aims at reducing greenhouse gas emissions while continuing to utilize coal as an energy source.

 Clean Coal Technology: Carbon Capture & Storage
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) represents a critical component in mitigating CO2 emissions while continuing to utilize abundant coal reserves globally. CCS technology aims to intercept carbon dioxide produced during electricity generation before releasing it into the atmosphere; instead, capturing and storing it securely underground. This innovative solution targets significant emission reductions without compromising economic development reliant upon traditional coal-based industries.
The concept behind clean coal revolves around three key steps : first , separating CO2 either prior to combustion using chemical solvents or post-combustion via absorption techniques ; secondly transporting concentrated streams typically via pipelines ; finally injecting deep within suitable geological formations where they remain permanently sequestered away from air currents contributing back again towards rising temperatures above earth’s crust . Various types exist depending upon specific application requirements however all share common goal - significantly lowering net output compared conventional methods whilst maintaining operational feasibility under existing regulatory frameworks governing environmental protection standards across borders internationally speaking too!

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 .

Reftinskaya GRES -- is the largest thermal power plant in Russia which is working with the solid fuel . It is situated in Sverdlovsk region ,100 km north-easterly from Yekaterinburg and 18 km from Asbest . Reftinskiy village , that contains 18 thousands of people , is situated in 2,5 km from GRES which product 20 000 million KWh annually .  It has total installed capacity of 3,800 and heat power -- 350 GKh . Coal from Ekibastuz 's coal field ( 16,3 МJ / kilo of calorific value , ash content for moisture-free fuel is 43,3 % ) is used as the main fuel and the black oil is used as the starting fuel .  GRES produces power with the bar `` Outdoor switchgear -500 kV '' on five power lines -500 kV and with the bar `` Outdoor switchgear -220 kV '' on five power lines -220 kV . The station supplies power to the industrial areas in Sverdlovsk , Tyumen , Perm and Chelyabinsk regions . The construction of the electric power station was started in 1963 , the launching of the first power unit took place in 1970 and in 1980 -- of the last one .

The Raven coal mine is a proposed mining project in British Columbia undergoing a joint federal/provincial review . It involves Compliance Energy Corp ( a small Canadian mining company ) and partners Itochu Corporation ( Japan ) and LG International ( Korea ) . It is also known as the `` Comox Join Venture '' .   It involves 31 square kilometres underground on Vancouver Island between Beaufort Mountains and Baynes Sound and 2 km2 surface works 4.2 km southwest of Buckley Bay in upper Cowie Creek .   The Environmental Impact Assessment was deemed inadequate , and a new proposal is being worked on .

The Dash for Gas was the 1990s shift by the newly privatized electric companies in the United Kingdom towards generation of electricity using natural gas . Gas consumption peaked in 2001 and has been in decline since 2010 .   The key reasons for this shift were : ( a ) political : The privatization of the UK electricity industry in 1990 ; the regulatory change that allowed gas to be used as a fuel for power generation ; ( b ) economic : the high interest rates of the time , which favoured gas turbine power stations , which were quick to build , over coal and nuclear power stations , which were larger but slower to build ; the decline in wholesale gas prices ; the desire by the regional electricity companies to diversify their sources of electricity supply and establish a foothold in the profitable generation market ; ( c ) technical : advances in electricity generation technology ( specifically combined cycle gas turbine generators ( CCGT ) with higher relative efficiencies and lower capital costs . An underpinning factor in the dash for gas was the recent development of North Sea gas .   In 1990 , gas turbine power stations made up 5 % of the UK 's generating capacity . By 2002 , the new CCGT power stations made up 28 % UK generating capacity ; gas turbines accounted for a further 2 % . It is estimated the Dash for Gas cost # 11bn .   Gas-fired power stations with more than 30 MW installed capacity commissioned between 1990 and 2002 are listed below .

A delayed coker is a type of coker whose process consists of heating a residual oil feed to its thermal cracking temperature in a furnace with multiple parallel passes . This cracks the heavy , long chain hydrocarbon molecules of the residual oil into coker gas oil and petroleum coke .   Delayed coking is one of the unit processes used in many oil refineries . The adjacent photograph depicts a delayed coking unit with 4 drums . However , larger units have tandem pairs of drums , some with as many as 8 drums , each of which may have diameters of up to 10 meters and overall heights of up to 43 meters .   The yield of coke from the delayed coking process ranges from about 18 to 30 percent by weight of the feedstock residual oil , depending on the composition of the feedstock and the operating variables . Many refineries worldwide produce as much as 2,000 to 3,000 tons per day of petroleum coke and some produce even more .

Redaction is a form of editing in which multiple source texts are combined ( redacted ) and altered slightly to make a single document . Often this is a method of collecting a series of writings on a similar theme and creating a definitive and coherent work .   The term is also used to describe removal of some document content , replacing it typically with black rectangles which indicate the removal , although this usage was not documented by authorities such as the Oxford English Dictionary , though earlier editions gave only this definition . For example , originally classified documents released under freedom of information legislation may have sensitive information redacted in this way . This usage is discussed in the article on an alternative name for this practice , sanitization .

Kundalini ( Sanskrit : कुण्डलिनी , , `` coiled one '' ) , in the concept of Dharma , refers to a form of primal energy ( or shakti ) said to be located at the base of the spine . Different spiritual traditions teach methods of `` awakening '' kundalini for the purpose of reaching spiritual enlightenment and a range of supernormal powers . Writer Joseph Campbell describes the concept of Kundalini as `` the figure of a coiled female serpent -- a serpent goddess not of `` gross '' but of `` subtle '' substance - which is to be thought of as residing in a torpid , slumbering state in a subtle center , the first of the seven , near the base of the spine : the aim of the yoga then being to rouse this serpent , lift her head , and bring her up a subtle nerve or channel of the spine to the so-called `` thousand-petaled lotus '' ( Sahasrara ) at the crown of the head ... She , rising from the lowest to the highest lotus center , will pass through and wake the five between , and with each waking the psychology and personality of the practitioner will be altogether and fundamentally transformed . ''   Kundalini awakening is said to result from deep meditation , and consequently enlightenment and bliss . However , as each individual is unique , Kundalini awakenings can happen through a variety of methods not limited to deep meditation . This awakening involves the Kundalini physically moving up the central channel to reach within the Sahasrara Chakra at the top of the head . Many systems of yoga focus on awakening Kundalini through meditation , pranayama breathing , the practice of asana and chanting of mantras . In physical terms , the Kundalini experience is frequently reported to be a feeling of electric current running along the spine .

Revision is the process of revising .  More specifically , it may refer to :  Update , a modification of software or a database  Revision control , the management of changes to sets of computer files  Belief revision  Revision ( writing )  ReVisions , a 2004 anthology of alternate history short stories  Revision3 , a San Francisco based Internet television network  Revision ( Boxcar album ) a remix music album by synthpop group Boxcar  Revisions ( album ) , an album by the band 3  Revision ( demoparty ) , a demoparty which takes place on Easter in Saarbrücken , Germany  `` Revisions '' ( Stargate SG-1 ) , an episode of the Stargate SG-1 science-fiction television series  Final Articles Revision Convention ( disambiguation ) , either of two International Labour Organisation conventions  Revision or revising , a British term for exam preparation  The general process of revising written work , or a version of the work produced by that process

Dentistry is a branch of medicine that is involved in the study , diagnosis , prevention , and treatment of diseases , disorders and conditions of the oral cavity , commonly in the dentition but also the oral mucosa , and of adjacent and related structures and tissues , particularly in the maxillofacial ( jaw and facial ) area . Although primarily associated with teeth among the general public , the field of dentistry or dental medicine is not limited to teeth but includes other aspects of the craniofacial complex including the temperomandibular and other supporting structures . The term dentistry comes from odontology ( from Ancient Greek ὀδούς ( odoús , `` tooth '' ) ) -- the study of the structure , development , and abnormalities of the teeth . Because of their substantial overlap in concept , dentistry is often also understood to subsume the now largely defunct medical specialty of stomatology ( the study of the mouth and its disorders and diseases ) for which reason the two terms are used interchangeably in certain regions .   Dentistry is important to one 's overall health . Dental treatments are carried out by the dental team , which often consists of a dentist and dental auxiliaries ( dental assistants , dental hygienists , dental technicians , as well as dental therapists ) . Most dentists either work in private practices ( primary care ) , dental hospitals or ( secondary care ) institutions ( prisons , armed forces bases , etc. ) .   The history of dentistry is almost as ancient as the history of humanity and civilization with the earliest evidence dating from 7000 BC . Remains from the early Harappan periods of the Indus Valley Civilization ( BC ) show evidence of teeth having been drilled dating back 9,000 years . It is thought that dental surgery was the first specialization from medicine .

Raja Talab is a large man made lake located at Jharia Jharkhand , India .   The lake was built at Jharia by Raja Durga Prasad Singh , the Raja of Jharia during his reign in the years 1912-13 . After death of Raja Durga Prasad in 1916 , his successor , Raja Shiva Prasad Singh further developed the lake - put up embankments and beautified the lake . The pond was used also for the royal - Rajbari Durga Puja being celebrated by Rajas of Jharia and they used to bathe in this lake before entering the royal Durga temple near the lake .   The lake is spread over an area of 8.46 acres of huge water body having a diameter of 100 meters . There is also a small island in middle of the lake . The lake water was once pure enough for drinking during pre-independence days of Jharia Raj .   However , the years of dumping of garbage , sewage outlet , washing of clothes , cattles , immersion of Durga Puja idols , and Chhath Puja offerings had clogged lake and left lake water stagnated and stinking . The last study was done in 2007 by ISM-Dhanbad 's department of environmental science engineering under Impact of Coal Mining in Jharia Town . The study found its water was alkaline with a pH of 8.11 , while cations and anions were greater than the limit prescribed by the WHO .   The local people and some politicians including members of Jharia Raj family started an agitation in 2013-14 , which resulted in authorities sanctioning money for desilting , clean up and complete rehabilitation of lake with help of local mining company , Bharat Coking Coal .   The lake is now being restored to its past glory .


Question: The concept of 'clean coal' involves capturing carbon dioxide byproducts at coal-fired energy facilities and storing them subterraneously. This method aims to mitigate environmental impacts while continuing to utilize coal as an energy source.

 Clean Coal: Carbon Capture & Sequestration Explained
The notion of clean coal hinges upon harnessing advanced techniques aimed at trapping CO2 emissions generated by coal-powered facilities before they escape into the environment. This revolutionary method involves three key stages - capturing CO2 directly from major emission sources; transporting the collected gas through pipelines; finally storing it securely within subterranean rock layers, thereby preventing atmospheric leakage.

CCS represents a viable strategy against escalating levels of greenhouse gases linked to climate change and marine acidity triggered by extensive usage of non-renewable fuels across diverse sectors. Despite previous instances involving injection of CO2 into geologic strata for assorted applications – notably enhancing crude extraction– permanent entrapment remains largely experimental territory since its inception circa late twentieth century. Noteworthy ventures encompassing this domain comprise the pioneering Weyburn Midale initiative launched around two decades ago alongside subsequent endeavors spearheaded by entities like SaskPower’s Boundary Dam facility plus Southern Company’s Kemper County project.

An experimental miniaturized version integrating full-fledged CCS capabilities debuted during autumnal months back in ’08 under stewardship of Swedish conglomerate Vattenfall overseeing operations at Germany’s Eastern bloc located Schwarze Pumpe station designed specifically to evaluate technical viability coupled with fiscal prudence. Implementing CCS protocols onto contemporary state-of-the-art thermal stations promises reductions upwards eighty-nine percent vis-a-vis standard configurations lacking said feature set according to intergovernmental panel estimations spanning next eight decades henceforth.

CO2 interception strategies typically involve absorption methodologies (aka carbon washing), permeation barrier systems, sorption apparatuses leveraging amine compounds serving frontline roles amongst competing alternatives. Compressibility challenges inherent therein impose additional energetic overheads potentially inflating operational expenses twenty-five forty percentage points relative baseline scenarios sans equivalent provisions. Retrofitting legacy infrastructure entails significantly higher expenditures particularly when juxtaposed against proximate repository locations. Industry insiders posit plausible future trajectories whereby economically competitive coal-derived electrical output augmented via CCS mechanisms surpasses incumbent paradigms absent analogous safeguards come mid-century horizon assuming favorable R&D outcomes materialize accordingly.

A detention basin or retarding basin is an excavated area installed on , or adjacent to , tributaries of rivers , streams , lakes or bays to protect against flooding and , in some cases , downstream erosion by storing water for a limited period of time . These basins are also called `` dry ponds '' , `` holding ponds '' or `` dry detention basins '' if no permanent pool of water exists . Some detention ponds are also `` wet ponds '' in that they are designed to permanently retain some volume of water at all times . In its basic form , a detention basin is used to manage water quantity while having a limited effectiveness in protecting water quality , unless it includes a permanent pool feature .

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

Radiocarbon dating ( also referred to as carbon dating or carbon-14 dating ) is a method for determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon , a radioactive isotope of carbon .   The method was developed by Willard Libby in the late 1940s and soon became a standard tool for archaeologists . Libby received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in 1960 . The radiocarbon dating method is based on the fact that radiocarbon is constantly being created in the atmosphere by the interaction of cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen . The resulting radiocarbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form radioactive carbon dioxide , which is incorporated into plants by photosynthesis ; animals then acquire by eating the plants . When the animal or plant dies , it stops exchanging carbon with its environment , and from that point onwards the amount of it contains begins to decrease as the undergoes radioactive decay . Measuring the amount of in a sample from a dead plant or animal such as a piece of wood or a fragment of bone provides information that can be used to calculate when the animal or plant died . The older a sample is , the less there is to be detected , and because the half-life of ( the period of time after which half of a given sample will have decayed ) is about 5,730 years , the oldest dates that can be reliably measured by this process date to around 50,000 years ago , although special preparation methods occasionally permit accurate analysis of older samples .   The idea behind radiocarbon dating is straightforward , but years of work were required to develop the technique to the point where accurate dates could be obtained . Research has been ongoing since the 1960s to determine what the proportion of in the atmosphere has been over the past fifty thousand years . The resulting data , in the form of a calibration curve , is now used to convert a given measurement of radiocarbon in a sample into an estimate of the sample 's calendar age . Other corrections must be made to account for the proportion of in different types of organisms ( fractionation ) , and the varying levels of throughout the biosphere ( reservoir effects ) . Additional complications come from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil , and from the above-ground nuclear tests done in the 1950s and 1960s . Because the time it takes to convert biological materials to fossil fuels is substantially longer than the time it takes for its to decay below detectable levels , fossil fuels contain almost no , and as a result there was a noticeable drop in the proportion of in the atmosphere beginning in the late 19th century . Conversely , nuclear testing increased the amount of in the atmosphere , which attained a maximum in 1963 of almost twice what it had been before the testing began .   Measurement of radiocarbon was originally done by beta-counting devices , which counted the amount of beta radiation emitted by decaying atoms in a sample . More recently , accelerator mass spectrometry has become the method of choice ; it counts all the atoms in the sample and not just the few that happen to decay during the measurements ; it can therefore be used with much smaller samples ( as small as individual plant seeds ) , and gives results much more quickly . The development of radiocarbon dating has had a profound impact on archaeology . In addition to permitting more accurate dating within archaeological sites than previous methods , it allows comparison of dates of events across great distances . Histories of archaeology often refer to its impact as the `` radiocarbon revolution '' . Radiocarbon dating has allowed key transitions in prehistory to be dated , such as the end of the last ice age , and the beginning of the Neolithic and Bronze Age in different regions .

Land transport or land transportation , also referred to as ground transport or ground transportation , is the transport or movement of people , animals , and goods from one location to another on land , usually by rail or road .

Decomposition is the process by which organic substances are broken down into simpler matter . The process is a part of nutrient cycle and is essential for recycling the finite matter that occupies physical space in the biosphere . Bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after death . Animals , such as worms , also help decompose the organic materials . Organisms that do this are known as decomposers . Although no two organisms decompose in the same way , they all undergo the same sequential stages of decomposition . The science which studies decomposition is generally referred to as taphonomy from the Greek word τάφος taphos , meaning tomb .   One can differentiate abiotic from biotic decomposition ( biodegradation ) . The former means `` degradation of a substance by chemical or physical processes , e.g. , hydrolysis . The latter means `` the metabolic breakdown of materials into simpler components by living organisms '' , typically by microorganisms .

Declassification is the process of documents that used to be classified as secret ceasing to be so restricted , often under the principle of freedom of information . Procedures for declassification vary by country . Papers may be withheld without being classified as secret , and eventually made available .

Depot ( -LSB- ˈdɛpoʊ -RSB- or -LSB- ˈdiːpoʊ -RSB- ) is from the French dépôt which means a deposit ( as in geology or banking ) or a storehouse . In English , depot can mean any one of a number of things , with minor variances between the different English-speaking countries :

Renewable energy law is a particular kind of energy law , and relates primarily to the transactional legal and policy issues that surround the development , implementation , and commercialization of renewable sources of energy , such as solar , wind , geothermal and tidal . Renewable energy , ( RE ) law also relates to the land use , siting , and finance issues encountered by developers of renewable energy projects .   Renewable energy law also encompasses policies that relate to renewable energy and legislative instruments that further encourage its growth . One such form of legislation is feed-in tariffs , which provide economic incentives to the developers of renewable energy projects by setting a fixed price for the sale of energy produced from renewable sources . Feed-in tariff laws also provide financial certainty , are more cost effective and less bureaucratic than other support schemes such as investment or production tax credits , quota based renewable portfolio standards ( RPS ) , and auction mechanisms . In addition , the feed-in tariff generates more competition , more jobs , and more rapid deployment for manufacturing ; it also does not pick technological winners , for instance between more mature wind power technology versus solar photovoltaics technology .
