Like charity, environmental manipulation begins at home.
So far, she writes, humanity's record of environmental manipulation does not inspire confidence.
The empirical approach includes field measurements in temperate and sub-arctic deciduous ecosystems as well as greenhouse environmental manipulation.
The Army Field Manual also does not explicitly prohibit stress positions, putting detainees into close confinement or environmental manipulation (other than hypothermia and "heat injury").
Next year the team will look at establishing semi-wild enclosures populated with captive-bred animals where they will trial environmental manipulation to try to help frogs survive in the wild with the disease.
Developmentally, environmental manipulation of OL progenitor cells (OPCs) has profound effects on the establishment of functional cognitive, sensory, and motor programs.
Timely bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated soils in the Arctic is possible with innovative engineering and environmental manipulation to enhance microbial activity beyond the natural effective season.
Isolated ventricular myocytes are pivotal for assessment of cardiac function by allowing direct cellular and environmental manipulation without interference from compensatory mechanisms that may exist in vivo.
Genetic approaches to controlling the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases are being developed to augment the available chemical control practices and environmental manipulation methods.
After one and half year of environmental manipulation, we investigated extracellular enzyme activities, which are related to decomposition, and analyzed stable isotope signatures (δ13C and δ15N) in soils and plants, which are related to water and nitrogen availability.
The next version of the manual should prohibit solitary confinement for more than, say, two weeks, all stress positions and forms of environmental manipulation, imprisonment in tight spaces and sleep deprivation.
