![]() Inasmuch as the specular reflectance of water at 75 deg N lat never gets below 20%, and can be as high as 100%, I’m confident that the ’10X’ claim is wrong. I’ll let those getting paid to do such things actually do it. To properly calculate the warming impact, one has to integrate the hourly water-reflectivity over the ~6 months that the area inside the Arctic Circle is illuminated, also taking into account the longer path length, resulting in increased absorption and scattering. That happens only one day out of the year. During the Solstice, when the sun never sets, the specular reflectance varies between about 2X the reflectance at normal incidence, to about 50X (100%!) at the Terminator when the sun is on the horizon. At the Equinox, the specular reflectance of water at 75 deg is about 11X that at the Equator at noon. Unfortunately, the sun is NEVER directly overhead at 66 deg latitude and above the most northerly the sun can be directly overhead is at the Tropic of Cancer (23.4° N lat). The claim of an order of magnitude increase in warming is based on the albedo of ice, and the combined specular reflectance of the water and the diffuse reflectance of suspended particles in the water, for high noon (when the sun is directly overhead). The problem is that the claim is not accurate. ![]() Be that as it may, someone took the liberty to add something that wasn’t in the published, peer-reviewed research. Perhaps the press-release writer decided to ‘improve’ upon the actual research. I cannot find this claim in the actual research article. “Where white ice reflects the rays of the sun, a dark sea will absorb more than ten times as much solar energy and thereby increase global warming.” Cronin, Martin Jakobsson and Christof Pearce, 20 March 2023, Communications Earth & Environment.įunding: Aarhus Universitets Forskningsfond, Vetenskapsrådet, Horizon 2020 Framework Programme. Reference: “Seasonal sea-ice in the Arctic’s last ice area during the Early Holocene” by Henrieka Detlef, Matt O’Regan, Christian Stranne, Mads Mørk Jensen, Marianne Glasius, Thomas M. This news is not making the situation more depressing, just more urgent. ![]() This is echoed by Christof Pearce: “The study is a wake-up call because we know that it will happen. If we can keep temperatures stable or perhaps even make them fall, the sea ice would return to the area,” says Henrieka Detlef. The good news is that our data shows the trend is reversible and we can do something about it if we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and set ambitious political goals. “The bad news is that we can see this happening very soon. How will the marine ecosystems be affected globally if the sea ice disappears? We don’t know the answer yet,” says Henrieka Detlef, an assistant professor at the Department of Geoscience.Īccording to the researchers from Aarhus University, the study can be interpreted as good and bad news for the climate. The algae we examined are food for fish, fish are food for birds, etc. “The sea ice is a base for many ecosystems. Where white ice reflects the rays of the sun, a dark sea will absorb more than ten times as much solar energy and thereby increase global warming. When the sea ice in the Lincoln Sea begins to melt during the summer months, it can have major consequences for the climate. The researchers can thereby determine when summer sea ice was present in the area. Among other things, they studied molecules from certain algae that are only produced when there is sea ice. In Aarhus, the marine samples have been analyzed in collaboration with Associate Professor Marianne Glasius and academic technical staff Mads Mørk Jensen from the Department of Chemistry. ![]() Although this was caused by natural climate variability as opposed to human-induced warming, it still is a natural laboratory for studying the fate of this region in the immediate future. During this time period, summer temperatures in the Arctic were higher than today. The researchers have used data from the Early Holocene period to predict when the sea ice will melt today. This project has demonstrated that we’re very close to this scenario and that temperatures only have to increase a little before the ice will melt,” says Christof Pearce, Assistant Professor at the Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University. “Climate models have suggested that summer sea ice in this region will melt in the coming decades, but it’s uncertain if it will happen in 20, 30, 40 years, or more. The research team concluded that summer sea ice melted at a time when temperatures were at a level that we are rapidly approaching again today. The sediment samples were collected from the seabed in the Lincoln Sea, part of the “Last Ice Area.” They showed that the sea ice in this region melted away during summer months around 10,000 years ago. “If we can keep temperatures stable or perhaps even make them fall, the sea ice would return to the area.” - Henrieka Detlef ![]() How do I undo changes to the audio that I make in Express Scribe?.How do I turn the mp3 voice recordings into text?. ![]() How do I show the time display in the Windows 7 taskbar?.How do I reduce background noise In Express Scribe?.How do I access the manual in Express Scribe Pro?.How can I move my old copy of Express Scribe that I purchased onto my new computer?.Does Express Scribe have an option to change from one file to the next without bringing it back to full screen?.Writing a driver for an unsupported controller How to.Foot pedal and hand-held controller setup guide.Video playback problems and suggestions Hand-Held or Foot Pedal Controllers.Unable to locate MSVCR80.dll when loading DSS files.Problems when Loading Particular File Formats.Files sent from Express Dictate via the Internet are too large.Files sent from Express Dictate by email are too large.Changing the Automatic Backstep on Stop.The above steps are instrumental in inserting the timestamps in the transcription document.Express Scribe Transcription Technical Support After-download technical and related problems Therefore, when you reach at the word you want to code, press the F1 being the hot key and CTRL V to paste the timestamp into the word.

The time code in this case has the following format #00:00:00-0# Express scribe Therefore, when F8 is pressed, the time code shows up in the pane of word processor program. This is considered as a slower method of coding which is not perfect. The in order to insert timestamp using the F8 you are required to trim the # on both right and left with an additional zero which should be copied and pasted on the transcribed document. The format of the timestamp of this program is hh:mm:ss as required in the transcription process. This automatically inserts the timestamp into the word document being transcribed. Then, locate the + +T and press them systematically. When using the FTW timestamps insertion program, you need to have the word document open as well as the program. Here are the steps that you need to follow for successful timestamps insertion using different programs. The most convenient and popular program currently is the FTW which is easy to use while simplifying the whole process. There are many programs available in the market today but it is important to move with the technology. It is less tedious compared to time coding as there are programs specifically designed to make the process easy to handle. Inserting the timestamps is an essential technique in transcription process. ![]() You’ll find this amazing attraction at the 360 CHICAGO observation deck inside one of the city’s most famous skyscrapers - the former John Hancock Center at 875 N.

In Boy's Night Out, Starfire, Raven and Jinx, have a girl's night out. There has not been any significant relationship within Cyborg and Starfire, although in Slumber Party, Starifre said that they would understand Cyborg's fear. This was mostly shown in Ghostboy, where Starfire felt bad for "killing" Beast Boy. Starfire has had a small relationship as friend with Beast Boy. Starfire quickly fought Beast Boy for the scratching post as Aquaman cried alongside Robin. At Beast Boy and Raven's wedding, she sat next to him, but left him soon after the program matched her with a scratching post. While she initially didn't trust in the program, Starfire became attracted to the superhero after reading his comics and declaring him a handsome and physically fit. However, after a fierce scolding from Robin, Blackfire had learned that Starfire still loved her and wanted to be a better sister, but when Starfire escaped the prison to exact revenge against Blackfire, it seemed that Blackfire's apologies wouldn't convince an angry Starfire, who continued to brutalize her, until Blackfire gave Starfire back her doll and apologized for all the things she has done.Ĭyborg's Love Matcher 5000 paired Starfire with Aquaman. After being tricked by Blackfire again, even after hoping that she had changed, Starfire became resentful towards her sister and worked hard to take revenge into matters. ![]() While Starfire loves Blackfire like any other sister and will still love her no matter what she does to her, Blackfire holds little affection to Starfire, example being how she framed her for an unknown crime by aliens and had Starfire sent to a galactic prison. Starfire and Blackfire's relationship is rather complex and sometimes questionable. Eyebeams: Starfire can use her eyes to shoot laserbeams and are capable of causing massive damage.When extremely angered, Starfire can summon a volley of starbolts to attack as seen in La Larva de Amor. Starbolt: Starfire is capable of summoning green-shaped projectiles from her hands and can shoot them as if they were a beam.Flight: Starfire has the ability to fly through earth's sky and into space.Superhuman Strength: Starfire is one of the strongest Titans as she is capable of crashing through walls without a scratch.Starfire's solar-powered powers are derived from her Tamaranean biology, fueling her attacks with emotion. When angered, Starfire's fury reaches its height with her hair sticking straight up, her eyes glowing green, and objects near her begin swirling around her. Starfire's anger unleashes destructive power. Upon realizing that Starfire genuinely cared for her, Blackfire attempted to apologize, but her latest trick severely angered Starfire and she nearly destroyed her. Blackfire periodically used Starfire's innocence to suit her selfish wishes yet Starfire would always forgive her. Mumbo Jumbo exploited this weakness by knocking her out with flowers for a chance to escape. Starfire was later tricked into continuing the holiday season by Beast Boy, Raven, and Cyborg yet the three of them were extremely guilty due to her childlike nature in wanting to experience the Second Christmas Miracle. When Beast Boy was looking for someone to prank, he immediately singled out Starfire for her gullibility and tricked her into serving his every whim after she believed that she had killed him. Īs a result of her naivety, Starfire is often at the receiving end of pranks from the Titans and this trait is occasionally exploited by her enemies. She has a high sense of responsibility and morality as seen when she confessed about her lying and volunteered to leave the Titans because of it (which also highlighted a high regard for herself). Due to the sharp contrast that lying has against her personality, Starfire finds it hard to tell a simple lie, but became fluent which resulted in fights between by her friends. Starfire's innocence is shown to have a powerful affect on the Titans, and her puppy dog eyes often succeed in winning them over without a fight. ![]() Her kindness and overall good nature has earned her a reputation which includes always telling the truth and unable to fill the the merciless actions that are required of a supervillain. Her sunny personality, politeness, and kindness is shared among both friends and even her enemies such as Jinx, Doctor Light, and the H.I.V.E. Starfire is kind hearted, joyous, and optimistic, preferring to see the good in every situation to the opposite of apathetic Raven. Starfire usually displays an aura of kindness and innocence. History Main article: History of Starfire Personality Let’s say you wanted to bring in text over your video, and needed to turn down the opacity of your background footage momentarily in order to make it more readable. As creators, using keyframes can be a great advantage in helping you add some really cool, simple effects to your videos. You don’t have to be a professional motion graphics artist to use keyframes for your videos. Therefore, your first keyframe would be at 100% opacity, and your last keyframe would be set at 0% opacity. You would use keyframes to transition the opacity of your footage from 100% down to 0%. Let’s say you wanted to fade out a video. The farther apart the keyframes, the more gradual the transition will be, and the slower the overall movement will appear. Then, it will remain at this second value, until you place another keyframe to tell it to do otherwise. When two keyframes are placed side by side, the computer will fill in the information between these two set values, and it will gradually morph and finish the transition to whatever value your second keyframe is set to. ![]() Your first keyframe is the initial starting point where you lock in wherever your image currently is, and then, you follow it with a second keyframe that has an altered value. These points of transformation are represented by diamond icons in your timeline:įor any transition to happen, you always need to have two keyframes present. The first keyframe you create on a timeline is where the given change starts to happen. You can use keyframes for altering any kind of image in many different ways. ![]() If you have a piece of footage and want it to slowly zoom in at the 3 second mark to emphasize something in your frame, but the shot was filmed stagnant, you can achieve this look using keyframes. Animation is all about movement and, by creating keyframes on your video or graphic, we are altering a chosen subject over a selected period of time by marking changes in value. ![]() Keyframes are a point in time where something changes. There is one element behind them all that is responsible for bringing those visuals to life: keyframes. Imagine every cool animated or motion graphic piece of media that you’ve ever seen. It can be released and acts as anti-coagulant during blood clotting. Heparin is a GAG that is stored in mast cells and is highly sulfated. ![]() Hyaluronic acid provides the central strand in the larger proteoglycan aggregates. It is found extracellular and is part of the ECM or can be used for shock absorbance in joints. Hyaluronic acid is a GAG that is unsulfated and not bound to proteins. GAGs are negatively charged and are found in the extracellular matrix (ECM) as proteoglycans (many GAGs bound to little protein) together with the fibrous proteins collagen and elastin. GAGs are also named mucopolysaccharides and they consist of repeating disaccharide units of mostly glucuronic acid (or iduronic acid) and an amino sugar. This fructose is trapped in the liver by fructokinase and fructose 1-P is formed.Īldose reductase and glucokinase trap glucose in the liver cell (sorbitol and glucose 6P) at high blood glucose concentration.] Sorbitol dehydrogenase forms fructose from sorbitol. The liver contains as follow-up the enzyme sorbitol dehydrogenase which is not found in the lens or nerve endings or kidney. Aldose reductase in the liver forms sorbitol at high glucose levels. ![]() [note: Sorbitol formation is wanted in hepatocytes after a carbohydrate-rich meal. Aldose reductase has a large Km for glucose and acts at high intracellular glucose levels. This reaction is minute at normal glucose concentrations in these cells but is increased at elevated blood glucose levels. High concentrations of serum glucose as found in diabetic patients, leads in the lens, nerve endings and kidney to accumulation of the sugar alcohol sorbitol, formed by aldose reductase from glucose. However, I had to throw out my smelling strip for Eau Sauvage out it was irritating me so much. but is it my chemistry or something in the perfume itself? The genre? A note? I read it's one of the best masculines for women, like Eau Sauvage. If this perfume is an aphrodisiac, that may partially explain my obsession. But now that it's unisex and I'm not put off by the vetiver (which I'm not a big fan of) I'll be the one wearing it! What is it that makes Timbuktu so addictive to me? Is it just me? I laughed to myself when I read the smell was inspired by a Mali richual called Wusulan, a West African tradition of female made incense intended to bring love. I remembered when it came out they told me it was for men - and I thought I could not keep my nose and hands off a man wearing that. I have some delicious smells in my wardrobe but none that call me in such a flat out sensual way. I put it on and have my wrist to my nose every 5 minutes. Some puritan wants to talk shit like they don't like a sniff? Let Timmy tell it to 'em. I am the one friend with a real serious frag problem and this is the only smell I feel confident recommending to absolutely anyone. we still here, smelling great and feeling cool. Timmy picks just the right moment in your day to say, hey captain, don't stress. Scents that don't shut up or go quiet more or less immediately. Lots of perfs wanna grab and shake your face. Nothing plays peekaboo for hours like this gem that doesn't go on like lysol at the top. The new one is strong and shimmering and perfect. ![]() Do not believe the priss when they tell you otherwise. The backstory to this masterpiece can easily be found in the reviews below, but what I really want to say is that this is the only sniff in my collection that has absolutely improved with reformulation. Is it possible to be an underrated legend? I'm here to tell you Timmy is an underrated legend. |
