Variables natural

Taken together. Figs 17-2, 4-13, 17-3, and 1-2 constitute a complex image of the Earth s climate system, including most of the factors that are known to be involved. However, such diagrams fail to adequately represent the dynamical nature of the totality of interactions of all of the parts. In order to explore these interactions, the natural variability of climate, and changes due to external perturbations, we must now introduce the key notions of forcings, feedbacks, and responses. 

The key to understanding the natural variability of climate and its response to natural or anthropogenic forcings is to understand fully both forcings and feedbacks. Forcings are relatively... 

The curves in Figure 7.2 plot the natural variable a t)laQ, versus time. Although this accurately portrays the goodness of fit, there is a classical technique for plotting batch data that is more sensitive to reaction order for irreversible Hth-order reactions. The reaction order is assumed and the experimental data are transformed to one of the following forms ... 

Comparisons of the chemistry of different soil horizons (Fig. 3) will reveal some of the natural variability and may highlight areas of potential health concern. If we compare the lead values for the <2-mm fraction for the surficial 0-5-cm, layer,... 

Due to natural variability, the results of any trial pertain only to the particular conditions at the time. 

The simplicity of the form of these expressions suggests that S and V are natural variables of the internal energy E S,V). These expressions have demonstrated the first and second laws of thermodynamics for our colloidal system. However, it is not easy to perform an experiment at... 

Development of robust processes based on new catalytic reactor engineering solutions to improve energy and process efficiency and economics, and which combine reaction and separation. Special attention needs to be paid to cope with the natural variability in the quality of raw materials. 

Ecosystem characterization Long-term monitoring should continue in order to enable estimation of natural variability, as well as to establish a baseline against which to evaluate the effects of disturbances. Standard environmental risk assessment approaches may not be useful if the components of the ecosystem in question have not been determined. Further research on... 

Tobias et al. [665] have described a method in which the GC effluent is passed into a combustion furnace to convert the organic hydrogen content into water, which is then selectively reduced to hydrogen in a reduction furnace containing Ni metal. The final stream is transmitted to the IRMS via a heated Pd filter, which passes only hydrogen isotopes to the ion source. For a benzene sample a precision of < 5 %o was obtained for <52HSMOw> which approaches the performance of off-line techniques and the requirements for studies of natural variability. This already meets requirements for analysis of D-labeled compounds used in tracer studies [666,667]. 

However, there are some potential effects of spilled oil on fish. The impacfs on fish are primarily to fhe eggs and larvae, wifh limited effecfs on fhe adulls. The sensitivity varies by species pink salmon fry are affected by exposure to water-soluble fractions of crnde oil, and pink salmon eggs are very tolerant to benzene and water-soluble petroleum. The general effects are difficnlt to assess and document quantitatively, dne to the seasonal and natural variability of the species. Fish rapidly metabolize aromatic hydrocarbons, due to their enzyme system. 

Equation (6.111) is sometimes called the combined first and second laws of thermodynamics, and this equation suggests that S and V are natural independent variables for U. Conversely, we can say that U and V are natural variables for S. One can also... 

From these total differentials, which are obtained with use only of definitions and the first and second laws, we can see why P and P are natural variables for G and Y, whereas P and V are natural variables for A.
