Enthusiasm cools in Q2

We know why coffee cools

Much is made of the mysterious directionality of thermodynamic time and its contrast to the near temporal symmetry of the underlying dynamical laws of Nature. I point out that if you are reasonably modest with respect to the ‘‘why’’ of this paper’s title, the answer is known and is not particularly complicated. The basic reason is that the universe is expanding (as first emphasized in this cont...

PTE September Gino Q2

Enquiry service online at www.ptemagazine.com I 1 Oral absorption efficiency can be influenced by several factors, acting independently or in concert. These include the physicochemical properties of the administered agent, human physiology, pathology (including disease state), the way the drug is presented (formulated) and possibly the amount that is administered (dose). Other influences includ...

Afforestation in China cools local land surface temperature.

China has the largest afforested area in the world (∼62 million hectares in 2008), and these forests are carbon sinks. The climatic effect of these new forests depends on how radiant and turbulent energy fluxes over these plantations modify surface temperature. For instance, a lower albedo may cause warming, which negates the climatic benefits of carbon sequestration. Here, we used satellite me...
