Not exact matches
For most of
human history, the biggest challenge in life was getting our hands on enough calories to meet our daily
energy requirements.
«While an adult
human brain typically weighs only about 2 % of the body weight, a resting brain consumes more than 20 % of all the oxygen, thus indicating a 10-fold greater
energy requirement than other tissues.
Maintenance
energy requirements of odor detection, explosive detection and
human detection working dogs
This study is the first to approximate the MER of working (odor, explosive and
human detection) dogs and evaluate factors that could influence their
energy requirements.
This study is the first to evaluate the
energy requirements of working dogs trained in odor, explosive and
human detection.
Despite their important role in security, little is known about the
energy requirements of working dogs such as odor, explosive and
human detection dogs.
HARPER, E.J. Changing perspectives on aging and
energy requirements: aging and
energy intakes in
humans, dogs and cats.
HARPER, E.J. Changing perspectives on aging and
energy requirements: aging, body weight and body composition in
humans, dogs and cats.
However, while
humans and dogs can adapt to diets that have a relatively low protein content (eg, plant - based diets), cats have a much higher protein
requirement in their diet that would typically only be met by feeding a meat - based diet, because they have come to rely on protein as an
energy source.
If
energy and protein metabolism of animals with cirrhosis resembles those of
humans, these patients also have increased protein
requirements, possibly two - or threefold minimal maintenance values (Elwyn 1987).
Often justified largely on the basis of junk science they have come up with such wonderful policy prescriptions as using only unreliable sources of
energy because they are «sustainable,» keeping natural resources in the ground rather than using them to meet
human needs, having government tell manufacturers what
requirements their products must meet to use less
energy rather than encouraging manufacturers to meet the needs of their customers, all in the name of «
energy efficiency,» substituting government dictates for market solutions on any issue related to
energy use, and teaching school children junk science that happens to meet «environmentalists» ideological beliefs in hopes of perpetuating these beliefs to future generations even though they do not conform to the scientific method, the basis of science.
Favorable
energy economics are just one of solar's many benefits — including less water use, lack of
requirement for a centralized grid in undeveloped regions, low cost, zero air pollution, and in providing a mitigation for the rising problem of global climate change (which is primarily driven by
human fossil fuel burning).
This is bound to ruffle a few feathers, so here are Professor Jacobson's comments on how he came to this conclusions: Jacobson Considered a Wide Range of Environmental Impacts Jacobson says he has conducted to first quantitative, scientific evaluation of the proposed, major,
energy - related solutions by assessing not only their potential for delivering
energy for electricity and vehicles, but also their impacts on global warming,
human health,
energy security, water supply, space
requirements, wildlife, water pollution, reliability and sustainability.
