These simulations are supplemented by many
further sensitivity studies, including some with very refined grid meshes.

The
study concludes that confirmation of an independent benefit of higher daily step count on insulin
sensitivity, waist to hip ratio, and body mass index provides
further support in promoting higher levels of physical activity in middle aged adults.
Studies show individuals with high insulin levels do best as
far as weight loss and improving insulin
sensitivity on a low GI diet and this is especially true for women with PCOS.
Further studies show that drinking green tea can improve the biomarkers for insulin
sensitivity.
Numerous
studies show that drinking caffeine can crush your insulin
sensitivity; this
study gave either caffeine or a placebo to 12 volunteers, and found that those who ate caffeine became
far more insulin resistant.
That's a very well designed
study, the best
study showing chocolate to be dangerous so
far, but given all the antioxidants, nutrients and inflammation - lowering benefits discussed in this article, I'd advise you to determine whether chocolate
sensitivity exists for you.
Thus,
further studies are warranted to establish the relationship and possible mechanisms between strength training and improved skeletal muscle insulin
sensitivity.
Hence, we feel that the most important result of the
study of Stainforth et al. is that by
far most of the models had climate
sensitivities between 2ºC and 4ºC, giving additional support to the widely accepted range (Update: As mentioned in the follow up post, this clustering is mainly a function of the
sensitivity of the original model and the random nature of the perturbations).
Thanks Pete and Gavin for your response in # 116 that the estimates for future temperature change being discussed in the climate
sensitivity studies (discussed in this thread) do not generally take into account the effect of increased temperature on initiating
further natural carbon release.
However,
studies as
far back as the 1960s have shown that an estimated Charney climate
sensitivity of about 3 C seems about right, so I guess you could say that there has been no progress.
Scientists were reportedly very excited that the lower
sensitivity implied that emissions control policies were now even closer within reach, but cautioned that we should not become complacent, and that
further study was necessary.
From that insight and their calculations they conclude the low - climate
sensitivity model
studies (suggesting climate
sensitivity best estimate around 2 degrees Celsius) should be revised upwards to 2.6 degrees following differences in efficacies from «instantaneous radiative forcing» — and
further revised upwards to 3 degrees [the value most
studies agree on] when climate forcing efficacy is calculated from ERF — «effective radiative forcing».
Additional peer reviewed
studies support stronger solar influences on albedo and cloud formation then previously projected,
further supporting lower
sensitivity.
The only thing I find noteworthy is that it
further reinforces the point that there is no scientific consensus on a best estimate for equilibrium climate
sensitivity, which is entirely in agreement with the IPCC's statement in AR5 WG1 SPM: «No best estimate for equilibrium climate
sensitivity can now be given because of a lack of agreement on values across assessed lines of evidence and
studies.»
Me neither, as the
study involved is the only one that has attempted to derive climate
sensitivity from actual observation, which gives it
far more weight than the others.
Aspects that these
studies neglected were the feedback that the permafrost carbon release would have on causing
further permafrost degradation and the varying response that the carbon release would have on the climate in different emission scenarios and for a range of climate
sensitivities.
They are
far from the only ones that explore this connection, with John Marshall and students of MIT coming to mind in their
studies, but the paper apparently illustrates (haven't read; paywall) how qualitatively different climate behaviors arise for differing values of Equilibrium Climate
Sensitivity («ECS»).
Yang, P., M.G. Mlynczak, H. Wei, D.P. Kratz, B.A. Baum, Y.X. Hu, W.J. Wiscombe, A. Heidinger, and M.I. Mishchenko, 2003: Spectral signature of ice clouds in the
far - infrared region: Single - scattering calculations and radiative
sensitivity study.
Future research may gain
further by assessing even more specific aspects of visual function objectively (e.g., impairment in depth perception, extreme contrast or brightness
sensitivity in addition to visual acuity as assessed in NSHAP) and subjectively (e.g., self - reported trouble with reading newspaper print and recognizing people at a small distance in addition to the global assessment of one's vision as assessed in NSHAP) in the
study of the effects of vision on quality of life and the capacity of a good marriage to alter these effects.
But the researchers on the current
study went a step
further, looking at the role that self - differentiation played in the link between rejection
sensitivity and relationship satisfaction.
However, only very few
studies have documented the effect of maternal depression on children's ability to process emotional expressions and even fewer incorporated measures of observed maternal
sensitivity to
further tease apart whether it is the symptoms per se or the associated impact via maternal
sensitivity that affects children's developing emotion - processing abilities.
Further studies considering
sensitivity would be useful to clarify the importance of carer's
sensitivity in alternative care.
