Second, different sets of predictors explained the variance in the competence measures at initial status. Finally, the predictors did not account for a significant amount of variance in the instantaneous rate of change on any of the measures; however, a portion of the variance in the acceleration...

Now more than ever, we can see the rapid acceleration of the substantive action needed to reduce costs and scale volumes of removals, in the same way that happened with renewables in recent decades. But with our lives an...
the acceleration of these risks. The present means by which flood risk is managed globally is predicated on the assumption that history is a good predictor of the future. Be it enforcing regulations within flood zones defined using historical water-level records, modelling the cost–benefit ratio ...
They can also apply for larger acceleration grants to develop and mature their concepts. The best of these projects will continue on after acceleration, but at a lower risk level, in which they can be supported by government or industry. This year, the OCIA is focused on increasing the ...
100 ECU's with separate software developers mean 100 potential openings for hackers. VW got caught for cheating on emissions, but Toyota's "unintended acceleration" killed people and was due to software design vulnerability. Of course, Tesla and Uber have done that all on their own, but VW ...
Asia, like the rest of the world, is witnessing an acceleration toward a more digital economy, but the progress is not uniform. Countries such as China and Singapore, among others, have advanced digital transformation capacity, but other developing countries in South and Southwest Asia are ...

Many of the changes inflicted on the planet — especially our oceans — will be "irreversible for centuries to millennia," and continued warming will lead to an acceleration of "extreme events unprecedented in the observational record," it warns. U.N. Secretary General Antonio...
Owing to a gradual acceleration in Earth's spin that has allowed solar seconds to catch up with atomic ones, there have not been any since. In fact, within the next few years the time nerds of the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS), the body that decides when leap seconds should...
