In many cases flare is simply located in the direction of prevailing wind. For further explanation, see chapter “Disciplines Involved in Offshore Platforms Design,” Section 2.7.1“Complex/Platform Layout.” To preserve the environment, flares shall be smokeless. Smokeless definition is based on ...
animals use internal heat to maintain their body temperature. These terms are misleading, however, because many cold-blooded animals can generate considerable heat by exercising their skeletal muscles. Indeed, many have a body temperature during daylight hours that is at least as warm as that of ...
usually above that of the ambient (surrounding) environment. A constant and relatively high body temperature enables biochemical reactions to occur in a relatively constant internal environment and at a relatively high rate. Most birds have a body ...
6.Even endothermic homeotherms do not have truly constant body temperatures but rather a narrow range of body temperatures within which slight increases and decreases occur in extreme climates during exercise, or even during sleep. The important feature is that birds and mammals can quickly adjust ...
This provides the advantage that the body chemical reactions are at optimal levels even when the environment imposes extreme challenges. The metabolic rate of a resting mammal, for example, is roughly six times greater than that of a comparably sized reptile. A suddenly awakened mammal is capable...
Additionally, we find: (i) increase in technology transfer to the tune of 1.2–2.5 times more than that of internal R&D; (ii) increase in innovation expenditure with firm size; (iii) domestic firms investing more in technology transfer as compared to R&D, whereas foreign firms only ...
environment (Baumeister & Heatherton, 1996;Blair, 2016;Carver & Scheier, 1982;Karoly, 1993;Lerner et al., 2011;McClelland, Geloof, Cameron, & Wanless, 2015;Nielsen, 2019). Conceptualisations of self-regulation vary with respect to the focus of their scrutiny (i.e., how self-regulation ...
Furthermore, from the perspective of the impact mechanism of climate change on energy poverty, many scholars also put forward different views. Li et al. [22] argues that as the use of solid fuels leads to the deterioration of the external climate environment, the government has introduced a ...
Metabolic regulation of a cell achieves cell growth by optimizing ATP generation (catabolism) and cell synthesis (anabolism) during the cell growth phase. Moreover, the cell regulates the metabolism to cope with various kinds of stresses caused by changes in the culture environment, and thus it ...
On the one hand, local governments compete for the bottom by relaxing environmental regulations at the expense of the environment in pursuit of economic growth. On the other hand, local governments compete for the top by strengthening environmental regulations and balancing the economy and the ...
