Because clouds affect sunlight absorbed at the Earth's surface, excluding them means "the range that we estimate for climate sensitivity may be too narrow," he said.
The global network of "protected areas" such as national parks expanded by 80% between 1970 and 1985 - the majority in so-called "developing" countries - and today they cover 15% of global land surface excluding Antarctica.
For each leaf, three trichome counts were taken from a central section of the lower surface, excluding the primary and secondary leaf veins.
Together these countries cover 51% of the Earth's land surface excluding Antarctica, and currently contain 62% of the world population and generate 71% of the gross world product [20], [21].
Six pictures of each leaf were taken on the whole leaf surface excluding the central nervure.
As a consequence, the sectioning diamond knife may be damaged and the uncut CNTs are left protruding from the embedded block surface excluding them from TEM analysis.
The WRB definition of Leptosols refers specifically to shallow soils with continuous hard rock within 25 cm from the soil surface, excluding cemented layers such as a petrocalcic or petroplinthic horizon.
The definition of a fall was broad "any unplanned unexpected contact with a supporting surface, excluding unavoidable environmental hazards" and the study excluded those who had had one or fewer falls in the previous six months.
In one set of simulations, the molecules occupying the outermost layer on the lower side of the slab were left untouched, leading to an ideal and defect-free surface (excluding possible surface reconstructions and thermal disorder), while one molecule from the layer on the upper side of the slab was deleted to create a point defect (vacancy).
Slices of cartilage were cut aseptically as thick as possible from the articular bone surface (excluding the underlying bone), cut into square pieces, weighed aseptically (range 5 15 mg [accuracy ± 0.1 mg]) and cultured individually in 96-well round-bottomed microtitre plates (200 μl culture medium, 5% carbon dioxide in air, 37°C).
