The number of stomata is proportional to CO2 levels - more CO2, less stomata needed. Stomata in fossil plants is a proxy for CO2 levels when the plant lived. The claims of 280 PPM CO2 being steady for thousands of years deforestation, etc. is nonsense. This claim came from low-resolution...
How the different concepts of entropy arose. The mathematical definitions of each entropy. How the entropies are related to each other. Which are the areas of application of each entropy and their impact in the scientific community. 2. Building the Universe of Entropies In this section, we de...
In order to synthesise and structure the cumulative knowledge base arising from existing and future studies, the need for a suitable overarching framework arose. Here, the AC heuristic represents the connectedness between variables of the mangrove SES versus the mangrove's accumulated capital (natural,...
Community structures were assessed after simulation for 170,000 iterations, where 98.9% (2891/2923) of runs reached steady state. According to the structures, replicates were clustered into several scenarios for each parameter set, which are shown separately in the area plots. Note that the values...
people who seemed to spend their time in precisely those activities they preferred. From their accounts of what it felt like to do what they were doing, I developed a theory of optimal experience based on the concept of flow—the state in which people are so involved in an activity that ...
presence of Cpeakalternans. Analysis was performed on 300-sec of ECG data immediately prior to administration of dobutamine and 300-sec post-dobutamine period after having an observable effect. This quantitative analysis was only applied to parts of the trace showing a steady-state ventricular rate...
Ultimately, compliance may become a question of char- acter, and officers may be admonished to "do the right thing even when no one is watching." Part II of this book will explore various ethical theories, including virtue theory, which emphasizes the importance of character, and deontology,...
