Recently, there has been considerable
increase in scientific understanding of the spontaneous development of spatial and temporal organization (structure) in physical, chemical, and biological systems.3 In an earlier note (PS 11:35), I suggested that this progress in science raises points that may be helpful in dealing with a question of current importance for process philosophy.

questions in the scientific understanding of how the polar regions help to regulate global climate,» said Jennifer Burns, director of the NSF Antarctic Integrated Science System Program.
The next
phase in our scientific understanding of human health and disease is to decipher the molecular basis of cell and tissue circuits and the impact of genetic variations on these circuits.
Over at the Massachusetts General Hospital of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Alessio Fasano's discovery of zonulin, an endogenous molecule, marked a turning
point in our scientific understanding of autoimmune disease [3].
And, if someone believes that
uncertainties in scientific understanding justify a wait - and - see attitude toward global warming, looking at the distribution of uncertainties suggests a serious reconsideration.
«This document is an important new contribution to the scientific literature on wind turbines and human health and captures the advances
in our scientific understanding since CanWEA first commissioned such a review five years ago», says CanWEA president Robert Hornung.
Unearthed by Jelmer Mommers from journalism platform De Correspondent in a trove of internal Shell documents, this report outlined the company's «major
developments in scientific understanding and the implications for policy formulation.»

What they say: «Most models simulate a small decreasing trend in Antarctic sea ice extent, in contrast to the small increasing trend in observations... There is low
confidence in the scientific understanding of the small observed increase in Antarctic sea ice extent.»
Of course a policy of doing nothing tends to be pushed by those like S.D. who are happy to accept uncritically the misinformation that abounds in the mainstream media and won't accept the validity of the remarkable
advances in scientific understanding of climate processes and human influences on them.
Their prototypes are fun science on three levels.Nano - assembly Breakthroughs First, the nanocars represent
breakthroughs in scientific understanding of how to build machines at the nano scale: the nanodragster is only 1/25, 000 th of the width of a human hair.
Our new compression and vibration technology is
rooted in scientific understanding of breast physiology, clinical data supporting the importance of hands on pumping and vibration as well as hundreds of hours of testing for a diverse group of volunteer testers.

in the scientific understanding of potential hurricane - climate change linkages.
There is the God of the gaps who is brought in to fill the gaps left by science; that God grows smaller with every advance
in scientific understanding of the universe.
For anyone interested in evolution — which is to say, for anyone interested
in the scientific understanding of the world — 2009 marks two major, linked anniversaries.
Give you the low - down on the developments
in our scientific understanding of how the health of our mind and body are interrelated.
Dr. Giordano's presentation on the future and implications of neurotechnology offered both an inspiring and cautionary message about the ways in which advances in neuroscience change our relationship with ourselves, while Dr. Peck's discussion of the challenges in anticipating advances
in scientific understanding and technological innovation resonated with forward - thinking individuals in both science and culture.
The polar - orbiting Nimbus 5 satellite, launched in 1972, yielded the earliest all - weather, all - season imagery of global sea ice, using microwave instruments (Parkinson et al., 1987), and enabled a major advance
in the scientific understanding of the dynamics of the cryosphere.
We recognise the significant recent advances
in scientific understanding, but also note that no comparable crosscutting research and analysis has been done since the RCEP report and there is no broad consensus around what the figure should be, if it is not 60 %.
