Un-spayed female cats go into heat several times a year.

Not exact matches

NCAR, which is financed in part by the National Science Foundation, has spent several years searching for ways to extend the predicability of floods, droughts, heat waves and other extreme weather events from weeks to months as a way to give weather - sensitive sectors such as agriculture more time to protect themselves against costly losses.

Some species, such as cats, cows and domestic pigs, are polyestrous, meaning that they can go into heat several times per year.

Unlike a dog that has about two heat cycles a year when they can become pregnant, a female cat can come into heat several times throughout the year.

They can go into heat as early as five months of age — sometimes earlier, and they can have litters several times a year.

They have the unique ability to reproduce several times a year and can go into heat as early as five months — sometimes earlier.

That means they will come into heat repeatedly, several times in a year.

Their work encompasses a range of problems and time scales: from five - day model predictions of hurricane track and intensity, to understanding the causes of changes in extremes over the past century, to building new climate prediction models for seamless predictions out to the next several years, to earth system model projections of human - caused changes in various extremes (heat waves, hurricanes, droughts, etc.) over the coming century.

That team published results a few years ago showing that all AOGCMs they studied mixed heat into the ocean faster than their best estimate of the actual rate, by a factor of several times at least.

I have already made it clear elsewhere that the additional resistor effect of human CO2 would be insignificant in relation to that from the rest of the air and the oceans together with the varying solar and oceanic heating and cooling effects but we still need to know for sure whether it is significant at all over periods of less than several hundred years because that may be the time we need to solve our energy, pollution, resource and population problems.

Since to me (and many scientists, although some wanted a lot more corroborative evidence, which they've also gotten) it makes absolutely no sense to presume that the earth would just go about its merry way and keep the climate nice and relatively stable for us (though this rare actual climate scientist pseudo skeptic seems to think it would, based upon some non scientific belief — see second half of this piece), when the earth changes climate easily as it is, climate is ultimately an expression of energy, it is stabilized (right now) by the oceans and ice sheets, and increasing the number of long term thermal radiation / heat energy absorbing and re radiating molecules to levels not seen on earth in several million years would add an enormous influx of energy to the lower atmosphere earth system, which would mildly warm the air and increasingly transfer energy to the earth over time, which in turn would start to alter those stabilizing systems (and which, with increasing ocean energy retention and accelerating polar ice sheet melting at both ends of the globe, is exactly what we've been seeing) and start to reinforce the same process until a new stases would be reached well after the atmospheric levels of ghg has stabilized.

However, the sun often does not shine much at the time of year when home heating is required, and the wind may not blow for several days at a time.
