Sentences with phrase «fraction of amounts into»

This PowerPoint presentation breaks down how to work out fraction of amounts into basic steps.

Not exact matches

However, the photovoltaic cells now used to turn sunlight into electricity can only absorb and use a small fraction of that light, and that means a significant amount of solar energy goes untapped.

A more sound approach would recognize that (1) converting old forest to young forests releases significant amounts of carbon (both above and below ground), (2) young forests are only good carbon sinks if they are allowed to grow and hold onto the carbon for centuries, yet there are too few economic incentives for doing so, and (2) the fraction of carbon that is put into long - term storage after logging is very small, i.e. old forests are better at storing carbon than our disposable culture.

Grains were only a very TINY fraction of the ancient Paleolithic diet (and only in certain parts of the world) as there was no way to process large amounts of grain back in that day into flour, so amounts of wild grain would have been small such as a handful or two of gathered grains added to a meal of meat and veggies.

It is possible to induce a small amount of oversteer on power or with an off - throttle flick into a fast sweeper, but really Project 8 wants to dig its claws into the surface, and even a very heavy right foot adds only a fraction of attitude.

Anything that increases the amount of money flowing into your household each month makes the fraction smaller.

Thus, if the CO2 band center is sufficiently close to saturation at TRPP, the forcing per doubling will be smaller at TOA, implying some cooling of the space in between (equal to the difference in forcing between TRPP and TOA; the climatic response will, via cooling, reduce the fluxes out of the stratosphere by the same amount; some fraction of this can go into the troposphere, and since it is a reduced downward flux, it cancels out some of the initial TRPP forcing, resulting in a smaller TRPP forcing (the forcing with stratospheric adjustment) that the surface + troposphere must respond to.

A more sound approach would recognize that (1) converting old forest to young forests releases significant amounts of carbon (both above and below ground), (2) young forests are only good carbon sinks if they are allowed to grow and hold onto the carbon for centuries, yet there are too few economic incentives for doing so, and (2) the fraction of carbon that is put into long - term storage after logging is very small, i.e. old forests are better at storing carbon than our disposable culture.

So, it seems to me that the amount of energy absorbed by CO2 in the bands that can be absorbed by CO2 (ie, some fraction of the total outgoing energy) is proportional to the fraction of CO2 in the atmosphere, unless you can somehow magically push all that CO2 into a thin shell that no photon of the required frequency can avoid.

Yes, the same amount of energy has to get out into space at the same rate, over the long term, but the absorption by greenhouse gases requires the surface temperature to be higher in order to radiate at a sufficiently higher rate (than would otherwise be the case) to make up for the fraction absorbed.

Thanks to Max Planck, it is now demonstrated that the laws of physics did not come into being until a fraction of a nanosecond after the Big Bang, from which it follows that no amount of ingenuity on our part can reveal to us what (or Who) said «Let there be light» and blazed the Universe into glorious existence.

Thus, since we dump 10 GtC into the atmosphere, and the amount increases by a fraction of that amount, how can it be that we're not responsible?

A home is normally taxed on its assessed value — a fraction amount of the home's appraised value — so make sure you factor it into the equation.

Moreover, the U.S. real estate sector enjoys just a small fraction of the amount of foreign dollars invested into other parts of our economy, such as manufacturing and financial services.
