And they discovered that the flow rates for unblocked holes were up to a thousand times higher than previous estimates (Faraday Transactions, vol 91, p 1407).

The extinction rates were much higher than previous estimates based on more limited data sets.

Previous estimates of pulsar ages have assumed that all pulsars are born spinning much faster than we see them now, that the physical characteristics of the pulsar such as its mass and magnetic - field strength do not change with time, and that the slowdown rate can be estimated by applying the physics of a magnet spinning in a vacuum.

Even though the 2015 model will gain power, Volkswagen promises it'll be more fuel efficient than its predecessor, returning an EPA - estimated highway fuel economy rating of 30 mpg with the DSG transmission, a small bump over the 27 mpg highway economy allowed by the previous version.

The study also put extinction rates at less than one percent a decade, one - fifth the level of previous estimates»

«However, Fig. 15 and the associated uncertainties discussed in Section 3.4 show that long term estimates of time variable sea level acceleration in 203 year global reconstruction are significantly positive, which supports our previous finding (Jevrejeva et al., 2008a), that despite strong low frequency variability (larger than 60 years) the rate of sea level rise is increasing with time.»

«Second, in contrast to the previously reported slowing in the rate during the past two decades1, our corrected GMSL data set indicates an acceleration in sea - level rise (independent of the VLM used), which is of opposite sign to previous estimates and comparable to the accelerated loss of ice from Greenland and to recent projections, and larger than the twentieth - century acceleration.

«long term estimates of time variable sea level acceleration in 203 year global reconstruction are significantly positive, which supports our previous finding (Jevrejeva et al., 2008a), that despite strong low frequency variability (larger than 60 years) the rate of sea level rise is increasing with time.»
