Earth's energy imbalance is defined here as the net downward radiative energy flux (N, expressed in W m−2 averaged over the entire surface of the Earth) through the top of the atmosphere (TOA), representing the residual between incoming solar radiation and outgoing reflected (mainly short-wavelength visible) and emitted (mainly long-wavelength infrared) radiation.
The Bank seemed to start down this path last April when Robert Zoellick, the outgoing president, reflected on the Arab Spring in a landmark speech that affirmed the importance of civic participation and social accountability in development.
It remains to be seen whether Valls, who became prime minister in March, will be allowed more leeway in forming his new government, compared with the outgoing cabinet that reflected the internal contradictions of Hollande himself.
The AIx was calculated as the difference between the main outgoing wave and the reflected wave of the central arterial waveform, expressed as a percentage of the central pulse pressure.
15 16 The speed of travel of both outgoing and reflected waves is greater in patients with stiffer arteries, which increases the extent of augmentation (higher AIX%) and reduces the reflected wave transit time (lower RWT).
Difficulties abound in other areas as well, particularly services.The race to replace Supachai Panitchpakdi, the outgoing WTO director-general, has reflected this division.
These valedictory words from the outgoing British ambassador, Sir Peter Westmacott, reflect a growing concern over Turkey's relationship with the EU.The trigger for the looming derailment is Cyprus, which joined the EU as a divided island in 2004.
We asked McKinnon to reflect on the outgoing "SNL" season and whether she's using the summer to decompress from all that political fodder.
The powerful and independent role of the main authorities can be deduced from the differences between the number of incoming and outgoing ties, reflecting recognition by others and of others respectively.
15 16 In each cardiac cycle, the outgoing systolic pulse wave is also reflected back towards the heart, predominantly at the level of arterial bifurcations, 17 and returns to the heart during systole where it augments the central aortic pressure.
