Optimization results – total and stage area, carbon dioxide contents in retentates and permeates and natural gas production – are obtained for three feed scenarios: 10%mol, 30%mol and 50%mol carbon dioxide in raw natural gas.
In the scenarios with 100% compliance (scenarios U, V, W) to the infant-feeding recommendations, exclusive replacement-feeding (scenario U) resulted in the least number of children with HIV/AIDS at 2 years.
For earlier on-shore arrival, the Early Feeding scenario probably overestimates litter sizes at den emergence, because it only considers prolonged fasting but not potential losses in feeding.
In the Late Feeding scenario, we account for both the prolonged fast and for missed feeding opportunities by assuming high energy intake during June and July, similar to intake rates in the High Arctic35.
Summing these probabilities over all females and normalizing by sample size yielded the expected proportions of females producing zero, one, two or three cubs, given on-shore arrival date and feeding scenario.
Body condition, reproduction, survival and abundance have already declined in this population11,12, and our analyses indicate that further substantial declines in litter size are likely under expected sea ice loss, even in the conservative Early Feeding scenario.
For each feeding scenario and each on-shore arrival date t0−t, we then used the distribution of body masses M t0−t) as initial conditions for a fasting season initiated t days before 1 August.
From these proportions, we also calculated expected mean litter size (X) and expected mean litter size conditional on producing at least one cub (X*) as a function of on-shore arrival date and feeding scenario.
In the Alg-Feed scenario, microalgae is used to meet 40%% of demand for feed, and the land (1.8 Bha) spared is converted to plantation.
More promisingly, significant expansion of renewable energies combines with avoided land use change emissions in the Alg-Feed scenario to achieve an emissions pathway between RCPs 2.6 and 4.5 [28].
