«These
results suggest that phytoestrogens can interfere with the normal estrogen
feedback mechanisms with respect to release of gonadotropin in the ewe... although most studies into the effects of phytoestrogens have concentrated on changes in the reproductive tract, there are indications that they interfere with the hormone balance between the ovaries and the hypothalamo - adenohypophysical
system... ewes on phytoestrogens have shown follicular abnormalities such as numerous small follicles, deficient antrum formation and signs of early atresia... it is possible that the permanent changes brought about by phytoestrogens in the brain are a
result of these compounds interacting with estrogen receptors in this tissue, and subsequently influencing the re-synthesis or replenishment of cyto - plasmic estrogen receptors... phytoestrogens can interfere with the delicate
feedback mechanisms involved in the release of the gonadotrophins.»

Multiple studies have demonstrated that organizations that prioritize a performance - management
system that supports employees» professional growth outperform organizations that do not.25 Similar to all professionals, teachers need
feedback and opportunities to develop and refine their practices.26 As their expertise increases, excellent teachers want to take on additional responsibilities and assume leadership roles within their schools.27 Unfortunately, few educators currently receive these kinds of opportunities for professional learning and growth.28 For example, well - developed, sustained professional learning communities, or PLCs, can serve as powerful levers to improve teaching practice and increase student achievement.29 When implemented poorly, however, PLCs
result in little to no positive change in school performance.30
Comparative
results from the first Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) show that education
systems can best support teachers by shifting public and governmental concern away from the mere control over the resources and content of education toward a focus on outcomes, by moving from hit - and - miss policies to targeted interventions, and by moving from a bureaucratic approach to education to devolving responsibilities and effective school leadership that supports teachers through targeted professional development, appraisal, and
feedback.

There are a couple of problems, though, namely that the physics
system can have some iffy moments,
resulting in frustrating crashes that don't seem to have a legitimate cause, or if they do the game didn't provide the
feedback necessary to figure it out.
The
results of these simulations show that dust − climate
feedbacks, perhaps set off by orbital forcing, push the
system in and out of extreme cold conditions such as glacial maxima.
As we discussed at the time, those
results were used to conclude that the Earth
System Sensitivity (the total response to a doubling of CO2 after the short and long - term
feedbacks have kicked in) was around 9ºC — much larger than any previous estimate (which is ~ 4.5 ºC)-- and inferred that the committed climate change with constant concentrations was 3 - 7ºC (again much larger than any other estimate — most are around 0.5 - 1ºC).
Even the conventional notion of ECS involving the short - term (Charney)
feedbacks doesn't represent an equilibrium
result, which is better represented by «Earth
System Sensitivity» estimates.
The
resulting decline in the buffering capacity of the inorganic carbonate
system (increasing Revelle factor) sets up a theoretically predicted
feedback loop whereby the invasion of anthropogenic CO2 reduces the ocean's ability to uptake additional CO2.
Please enlighten us, O Wise Hunter, (i) how long does it take for the climate
system to respond to forcings, and (ii) does this delay in response ultimately
result in a higher or a lower
feedback and why?
What this counter intuitive
result does illustrate is that there are a huge number of very complex
feedback mechanisms within the climatic
system, and the
results of any change may not be what you would expect.
This warming is further magnified as a
result of positive
feedbacks in the climate
system.
James Hurrell and colleagues in an article in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society stated that the «global coupled atmosphere — ocean — land — cryosphere
system exhibits a wide range of physical and dynamical phenomena with associated physical, biological, and chemical
feedbacks that collectively
result in a continuum of temporal and spatial variability.
It's deemed a forcing when it is caused by a factor external to the climate
system otherwise it is considered an internally induced
feedback that automatically
results when a forcing nudges things one way or another.
What basis would that have: We're pumping more energy (forcing) and water vapor (
feedback) into a
system that is already oscillating chaotically; as a
result, oscillation amplitude and chaos are reduced?
And just maintaining current rates of warming without significant added
feedbacks from the Earth
System would
result in Earth hitting close to 3 C warming by 2100 — a level that would inflict severe harm to life on Earth, including human civilizations.
A CO2 pulse in the atmosphere will take centuries to finally return to original levels, and that is completely ignoring any potential
feedbacks from other parts of the
system (ie temperatures raised for centuries could
result in massve methane releases and loss of signficant low albedo ice sheets etc.) The experiments I am aware of that show improved plant growth in elevated CO2 levels require that all additional biological needs are amply provided for.
For the latter, one merely has to demonstrate either of two things: that CO2 does not indeed alter the thermal budget of the climate
system such that increasing its concentration
results in the trapping of more heat within that
system, or that the negative
feedbacks associated with CO2 - induced warming overwhelm the positive ones and
result in a neutral or negative change to the state of the climate's average temperature.
Everybody agrees that if there were no
feedbacks in the climate
system, then the
resulting climate sensitivity, as dictated by the S - B Equation (using the effect radiating temperature of 255 K for the earth) is about 0.3 C per (W / m ^ 2).
T he global coupled atmosphere — ocean — land — cryosphere
system exhibits a wide range of physical and dynamical phenomena with associated physical, biological, and chemical
feedbacks that collectively
result in a continuum of temporal and spatial variability.
There is a «hole,» btw, in that LWIR is passed without disturbance into the
system, but 50 % of the SWIR is radiated inward after being absorbed by the shell (in the
feedback derivation, that would be a coefficient of 0.5, which
results in a «gain» of 1 / (1 - 0.5) = 2).
«Relatively cool waters in the eastern Pacific often
result in stubborn summer high - pressure
systems over the eastern states that block storms, reducing the frequency of precipitation below normal,» noted study co-author Richard Healy of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Mass. «Less frequent storms
result in higher surface and atmospheric temperatures that then
feedback on the atmospheric circulation to further reduce storm frequency and raise surface temperatures even more.»
Climate
feedback - An interaction mechanism between processes in the climate
system is called a climate
feedback when the
result of an initial process triggers changes in a second process that in turn influences the initial one.
Where we have processes that occur over space and time with multiple
feedbacks and multiple interactions — and this
results in non-linear oscillations — we have a spatio - temporal chaotic
system.
The basic
results of this climate model analysis are that: (1) it is increase in atmospheric CO2 (and the other minor non-condensing greenhouse gases) that control the greenhouse warming of the climate
system; (2) water vapor and clouds are
feedback effects that magnify the strength of the greenhouse effect due to the non-condensing greenhouse gases by about a factor of three; (3) the large heat capacity of the ocean and the rate of heat transport into the ocean sets the time scale for the climate
system to approach energy balance equilibrium.
Sometimes semantics are important, and when untrained programmers implement complex
systems based on
feedback witout understanding the basis behind the semantics,
results will always be suspect.
