Not exact matches

Newer SAGD plants such as Connacher Oil and Gas's Great Divide have managed to nearly eliminate fresh water use — they use non-potable water from aquifers and recycle it — and reduce GHG emissions by about 20 % compared to the industry average through more efficient burning of natural gas, cogeneration of electricity and reduced heat loss on the steam's journey underground.

After a water birth, there is an average loss of 5.26 g / l blood; this is significantly less than land births where there is an 8.08 g / l blood loss on average.

To study changes in soil moisture, the researchers used the Palmer drought severity index to examine average water availability and loss over the study period.

The team also compared the ice loss up until the mid-1980s to that observed by satellites over roughly the last decade and found that today the rate of ice loss is twice the 20th century average, mostly because of increased water runoff from the ice sheet's surface.

Studies demonstrate that far infrared saunas can assist in pain management, weight loss, improved circulation, anti-ageing, arthritis, skin purification and detox with the average person sweating out 3 % toxins and 97 % water from a regular sauna, yet 20 % toxins and 80 % water from an infra red sauna.

For the first five days, weight loss averages 0.9 kg / day, far exceeding the caloric restriction and likely due to a diuresis of salt and water.

The average increase of ∼ 5 % (∼ 111 kcal / d or ∼ 464 kJ / d) in 24 - h EE observed during sleep loss compared with 9 - h control is similar to the energy cost of a 70 - kg adult performing water aerobics for ∼ 24 min.

Traditional energy models have tended to try and emulate the average performance of existing built stock, so in the UK the Sap model includes typical appliance1 and lighting energy use, and a generous allowance for heat loss from hot water systems.

The resulting 4.2 m loss in water equivalant thickness is significant, since North Cascade glaciers have an average thickness of 30 - 50 m.

«Water wars» ensued, leading to one death each day on average, as well as livestock losses.

Rates of water loss, due in part to evaporation, were double the long - term average.

To study changes in soil moisture, the researchers used the Palmer drought severity index to examine average water availability and loss over the study period.

Air temps in arctic are almost precisely the same as the average for the past 50 years — So it is unlikely air temps have created ice loss — BUT CONVERSELY — the increased open arctic water SHOULD be affecting the arctic air temp - but is not (large expanses of 1 degree C arctic water make it difficult for air temps to drop to minus ten C — but since that is what is happening, then in fact there must be much more cold air around to create «normal» arctic temps for this time of the year)

Due to this loss of energy, the temperature of the remain water has dropped (1 / heat capacity = 0.24 degK / (kJ / kg)-RRB- OR the lost energy must be imported by: conduction (collisions transferring kinetic energy), convection (a new group of molecules with a new average energy), or absorbing radiation.

North Cascade glaciers annual balance has averaged -0.54 m / a of water equivalent from 1984 - 2006, a cumulative loss of over 12.4 m in glacier thickness or 20 - 40 % of their total volume since 1984 due to negative mass balances.

The IPCC has already concluded that it is «virtually certain that human influence has warmed the global climate system» and that it is «extremely likely that more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010» is anthropogenic.1 Its new report outlines the future threats of further global warming: increased scarcity of food and fresh water; extreme weather events; rise in sea level; loss of biodiversity; areas becoming uninhabitable; and mass human migration, conflict and violence.

Suction blister wounds are an excellent model for studying the effects of early wound healing.50 Measurement of the rate of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) through human skin provides a noninvasive method to monitor changes in the stratum corneum barrier function of the skin, providing an excellent objective method for evaluation of wound healing.51 The 8 blister sites were assessed daily for 8 days following removal of the blister chambers50 and then again on day 12, along with daily control values from adjacent nonwounded skin; after subtracting the average control values from the average daily measurement, the 90 % standard for healing was based on reaching 90 % of the day 1 measures.
