What do you mean?

Confirmation bias would be the potential problem there wouldn't it? If one pursues a line of research that ignores, or doesn’t test for, one of the two possible causes then it’s obvious what the outcome will be.

Understood. Cheers.

So, soot is a selective pressure because it advantages dark moths and therefore not stochastic.

Thanks Is there a distinction between the soot and the predatory element in the selection process or are they both classed the same? A stochastic event causes population change regardless of genetic makeup?

I was seeing the sooting as a random effect. which happened to cause a change in the choice of the predators. The predators caused the actual change in the allele frequency not the sooty environment the predator and prey exist in. I'm not arguing, just putting up a scenario that I have a rudimentary familiarity with as a focus for learning the difference.

Exactly my thoughts. It's nice when something as big and complex as the universe has some linearity in it to focus on.

In the evolution of the changing prevalence of the colour of peppered moths in the industrial revolution – light versus dark - was the sooted surfaces of their habitats a stochastic effect or classed as natural selection? To my mind the sooted surfaces is stochastic and the predation on the poorly camouflaged whites was natural selection. Is this correct?

New observations with ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile have revealed alignments over the largest structures ever discovered in the Universe. A European research team has found that the rotation axes of the central supermassive black holes in a sample of quasars are parallel to each other over distances of billions of light-years. The team has also found that the rotation axes of these quasars tend to be aligned with the vast structures in the cosmic web in which they reside....Read More>>> Arxiv: Alignment of quasar polarizations with large-scale structures

I was curious about this question and what happened at the molecular level so I looked it up. When you increase pressure the velocity of the enclosing moving surface(s) adds momentum to the molecules that collide with it and hence heat; rather like a swinging bat hitting a ball as opposed to a balll bouncing off a stationary wall. The heat rise will only be temporary however due to the usual heat loss pathways.

I think the OP is but doesn't realise it but that's what it necessitates if one is to increase the temperature via increasing the pressure...it seems to me anyway.

And you can control amounts or omit ingredients

A space sunshade or sunshield is a parasol that diverts or otherwise reduces some of a star's rays, preventing them from hitting a planet and thereby reducing its insolation, which results in less heating of the planet. A sunshade is of particular interest towards mitigating global warming through solar radiation management. Such shades could also be used to produce space solar power, acting as solar power satellites. Proposed shade designs include a single-piece shade and a shade made by a great number of small objects.[citation needed] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade

I would think whatever normal temperature range you consume anything will be more or less body temperature pretty quickly - in the order of minutes - so it's effect on digestion would be negligible.

The UK NHS says "The term 'processed food' applies to any food that has been altered from its natural state in some way, either for safety reasons or convenience." I think the concerns mainly pertain to restricting the regular consumption of convenience foods which may contain less than desirable levels of salt, sugar, fats, and preservatives etc.

You can use Snipping Tool in W7, or other third-party app, after opening the doc and save it as an image file. You could use PRT SCN as well, paste it into an image editor then crop it. Click or right-click on the image to save it if you want to use this.

Imagine you are sitting on a rock in the empty vacuum of space with absolutely nothing around you. You see a rock in the distance getting bigger with time. Are you moving towards the rock or is the rock moving towards you? Because you feel stationary – but you may actually be moving uniformly - it seems the rock is moving towards you. You will have the same experience if you sat on the other rock looking where you are now. This is why velocity is always relative to something because you have to choose what your reference point is.

You can 'walk' compasses on a map hence together (com) + step (pass) = step together. Just my guess

You know what we are going to say.

"Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space." - D. Adams What you are seeing, when you observe it, is photons that are interacting for the first time with your instrument since they were emitted... the rest just carry on their merry way to the next observer or interaction. It happened all over and they are travelling all over. Not much different to the expansion happening all over.

Found a forum conversation with someone that seems to know who's a gas appliance diagnostics technician.

I read on a supplier's site to ignore the last dial because it is for testing. Perhaps it is isolated mechanically to give an independent measure. I'm only guessing here but the general theme of my enquiries is that it should be ignored from a consumer perspective. No harm in wanting to know why though.

It's just for testing.

Right. Cheers.

I'm just a novice in science, so, does it need to be in a journal to show that it has been peer-reviewed? Your reference is behind a pay-wall unfortunately. I can't find an open access version.
