But as he demonstrated on Sunday, he still has the strength of heart and mind to confront the historical deviations of the Catholic Church and to prepare it for the changes that will come in its third millennium.
Much of the recent active/passive analysis addresses vast compilations of historical data returns, standard deviations, quartile rankings, etc.
Although the modalities for assessing "balance" under the Global Stocktake (Art 14) are still under discussion, all the "anthropogenic" removals reported for managed lands in GHG inventories are expected to be taken into account [13], including those that do not necessarily reflect a deviation from historical management.
For example, in a previous report, a sudden change in lead impedance of an ICD lead under Class 1 recall remained within specifications, but deviation from historical trend triggered event notification.
But Hansen et al make an important point: this argument is much weaker when we're talking about really extreme events, like temperatures more than 3 standard deviations above historical norms.
Building on literature-derived definitions and typologies of surprise, and using results from a modeled 81,000 ha study area in a wildland-urban interface of western Oregon's Willamette Valley Ecoregion, the paper explores surprise by analyzing alternative future deviations from historical fire size at multiple spatial and temporal scales.
Deviations from historical temperature and precipitation regimes can influence a wide range of ecological processes associated with forest productivity including decomposition of dead organic matter and nutrient mineralisation rates (Gholz et al. 2000), photosynthetic rates and length of growing season (Boisvenue and Running 2006), and water stress and drought-related mortality (Allen et al. 2010).
Nevertheless some deviations from historical fact were made to increase interest, maintain narrative continuity, and for practical or safety reasons.
Daily counts were compared to historical averages and standard deviations.
