Sentences with phrase «of ordinary temperatures»

Not exact matches

Scientific language («The temperature was -5 degrees Fahrenheit») seeks language that has a certain kind of precision lacking in our ordinary speech — a precision that we can quantify and test, that can be used to settle disputes about how cold it actually is.

Inside RHIC, ordinary matter tends to melt into its fundamental constituents, with temperatures more than 100,000 times hotter than the center of the sun.

This is because its low temperature and high phase - space density make coherent stimulated emission possible: in an ordinary thermal gas of Ps, the Doppler shifts of the atoms would suppress lasing action.

That density depends upon the temperature of the Ps, but it is likely to be in the range of 1018 Ps atoms per cubic centimeter, which is about 3 % of the density of ordinary air.

3 Collapse of the vacuum In the book Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut popularized the idea of «ice - nine,» a form of water that is far more stable than the ordinary kind, so it is solid at room temperature.

The STAR collaboration's exploration of the «nuclear phase diagram» shows signs of a sharp border — a first - order phase transition — between the hadrons that make up ordinary atomic nuclei and the quark - gluon plasma (QGP) of the early universe when the QGP is produced at relatively low energies / temperatures.

In low energy RHIC collisions, scientists suspect that while the change in phase from QGP to ordinary protons / neutrons occurs, both distinct states (QGP and ordinary nuclear matter) coexist — just like bubbles of steam and liquid water coexist at the same temperature in a pot of boiling water.

It is slightly sweeter than ordinary sugar and can be either in a solid or liquid state depending on the temperature and the amount of moisture it contains.

The process is just as easy as making ordinary yogurt from cow's or goat's milk, which I do weekly: you simply combine the coconut milk with yogurt ferment or a probiotic supplement, and leave it to incubate at a steady, moderate temperature (around 40 °C or 105 °F) until the coconut milk is cultured, which takes 24 hours for the level of tang I like.

However, the jump in temperature between 1997 and 1998 in this record certainly appears to pass the «smell test» (better than 3 standard deviations of interannual variability) for something out of the ordinary.

Anyway it is a false comparison to compare old temperatures with new temperatures when asking «wht should we do» you need to compare «our solution» with «their solution» If you are advocating a political strategy you need to accept current proposed strategies will probably still result in the majority of the global warming predicted in the ordinary scenario (if not all of it — a point which I can argue if you like).

«uncertainty» equals no consensus but consensus is not proof this is just one classic example of just more humans trying to justify their existence and no the IPCC Judith Curry and everyone else involved continue dancing on the head of a pin whilst Mr Ordinary gets his wealth sequestrated in order to pay for these guys to indulge in their pet hobby when the person who is making their life possible derives no benefit whatsoever except higher and higher energy bills, more restrictions on their ability to travel whilst again the lauded few get to travel across the planet 1st class to tout their jaded theories of how what and where and all I hope and pray is that we get another five years of flat temperatures then you are all toast and in a great need of having to work for a living or get another hobby.

We are now seeing the rise of a new, supercharged type of drought, in which global warming - related temperature extremes combine with dry conditions to transform what would otherwise be an ordinary drought event into a far more severe event.

If it's a product the ordinary chaotic behavior of weather, why is chaos producing a steady (two steps forward one step back) rise in the Earth's temperature, instead of the patternless disturbance that we would expect from — chaos?

Thanks to the consistent temperature of the earth, geothermal is more than twice as efficient at cooling than any ordinary heat pump or air conditioner and more than five times as efficient at heating than any traditional fossil fuel furnace.

Because temperature data violates one of the assumptions of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression - that all the data are independent observations.

Birkeland currents are interesting, although they seem to be a possible correction to direct solar irradiance only at the poles and only in the ionosphere, which is already enormously hot — between 1500C and 2500C — but so tenuous that you wouldn't feel heat if you stuck your arm out into the near vacuum of the ionosphere, you'd feel intense cooling as your blood started to boil and ordinary thermometers would radiate heat away faster than they would equilibrate (and hence would read very cold temperatures).

So asserting that heat won't flow in figure 2 above, or will stop flowing before all of the gas reaches thermal equilibrium, is just like saying that heat won't flow between two ordinary jars of gas at different temperatures in the laboratory, and well over a hundred years of experiments, the entire refrigeration and air conditioning industry, a huge body of technology and engineering, and well understood physical theories all say otherwise.

It is exactly like an ordinary jar of gas at the same pressure and density and temperature.

It is premature to judge from limited information what has been done to the data, but if any out - of - the - ordinary warming is being dismissed as ENSO then an opportunity to examine this most peculiar temperature excursion will be missed.

One set of their reconstructions uses the «Lasso» algorithm, while the other reconstruction methods use variations on a principal component (PC) decomposition and simple ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions among the PCs (varying the number of PCs retained in the proxies or the target temperatures).
