Sentences with phrase «means water absorption»

Because it means water absorption is heavily dependent on osmotic gradients - if the gut is filled with large quantities of mineral ions (particularly sodium), free glucose, etc., water will remain in the gut to serve as a buffer.

Not exact matches

The team stressed, however, that use of the resistant starches meant the amount of water in the formulations had to be adapted according to absorption and to get the right dough consistency.

It means that the gel formed by soaking chia before eating will create a bulk in your intestines that holds water, slows the absorption of glucose from carbohydrates, reduces cholesterol by binding it, and produces a softer stool that is easy to eliminate.

What is meant by the statement you quoted is that you are taking into account water weight when you eat brown rice so you will get full quicker because it takes up more space due to the liquid absorption from boiling.

Managing canine acute or chronic colitis means providing a nutrient balance that meets the dog's needs, while also providing for normal GI movement and normal colonic water absorption in order to produce normal stool texture.

Note that ocean water has a lower albedo than most coastal terrains — rising sea levels mean more absorption.

Direct comparison of the radiances predicted by the model to those observed by AIRS in the thermal spectral regions dominated by water vapor absorption provides a means of assessing the simulation of water vapor in the climate model at the high level of detail provided by spectral measurements.

-- AGW (the absorption of IR by greenhouse gasses) does not mean that the water cycle has been «excised» from standard science.

Also you focused on re-radiating meaning emitting long - wave spectrum - which possible, but I was thinking more about emitting the same wavelength, as mentioned in this quote: «However, aerosols (which often contain water and if so can absorb red wavelengths) are usually larger than visible wavelengths and therefore absorb and reflect all wavelengths of light equally (this is not technically scattering, although it is often called that; it technically involves absorption and re-radiation, or reflection).»

... by «saturation» is usually meant a complete absorption of the radiation of the surface by the carbon dioxide and water vapor of the air...

ANSWER: by «saturation» is usually meant a complete absorption of the radiation of the surface by the carbon dioxide and water vapor of the air: according to Dufresne and Treiner it is saturated and according to Pierrehumbert (Physics Today 2011) it is not; for me 0.8 (W / m ²) / 400 = 0.2 % for a doubling of the CO2 content is» nearly saturated»; 0.8 W / m ² is the additional absorption for 2xCO2 (e.g. per Hansen 1981)

We need to explain how warmer waters absorbing less CO2 could become less alkaline as seems to have been happening... Less CO2 absorption should mean more alkaline oceans but they have been getting less alkaline.

2) The dipole of water means that unlike linear CO2 and tetrahedral CH4, water has a strong pure rotational absorption spectrum, and this rotational absorption, sitting on top of most of the 277K black body radiation from a «naked» earth, is what is responsible for the natural warming of about 20K.
