Be sure to set appropriate--and specific--parameters that define warm-weather attire to prevent sloppy appearances.
Warm sensibility index was defined as: (warm pain detection threshold − warm threshold)/(warm pain detection threshold − reference temperature).
Oprah defined her warm, lovable image on daytime television and then strategically expanded it across media platforms.
When she curled up on my lap and fell asleep on her way home from the shelter, we knew her role in life was defined: to warm the laps, hearts and souls of people in need.
In fact, the moment that most defined the warm, tasteful spirit of Coachella came hours earlier Saturday when Beck, who wasn't even part of the festival bill when it was first announced, took the stage for an acoustic set so informal that he pretty much made it up as he went along.
To examine activity patterns of individuals, we included day-type (weekday vs. weekend), season (May to October defined as warm season vs. November to April as cool season, according to the climate in California), the time variable (1st-6th wave), sex, and age as covariates in the model.
Therefore, we performed sensitivity analyses by subsetting to season when visits began, defined as warm (March through August) or cool (September through February) seasons and also tested for interactions using a cross-product term and examining statistical significance of this term at p < 0.05.
The ICEN index defines warm and cold events on an asymmetric scale that adjusts for threshold differences estimated for El Niños and La Niñas.
But, as many commentators have also noted, the deal doesn't get the U.S. or China remotely near where they need to be if the world is to avoid disaster — which both countries, along with pretty much every other state in the world, have defined as warming of more than two degrees Celsius.
A temperature increase itself is not a surprise: El Niño is defined by warming in the tropical Pacific, which typically fuels a rise in global temperatures a few months later.
