A remarkable quality of this solution is that there is no layout shift when the freeze dried tab is transitioned to the live site. It has to be emphasized that this is rendering the entire page in the freeze dried state, including content that is below the viewport (the part where a site visitor has to scroll to see). Tests show that the user experience is improved with up to a 20% faster loading time, resulting in an average of 2.8 seconds to show all of a webpage. When the actual page finishes downloading Google seamlessly transitions to the actual webpage.

Given that Indonesia is a global wildlife hotspot and Inflated quotas for breeding animals in Indonesia’s commercial conservation facilities appear to be fueling the illegal wildlife trade, Okarda’s team also found that more than 6% of the ads, or just over 18,000, listed threatened species, such as the Javan pied starling (Gracupica jalla) and the straw-headed bulbul (Pycnonotus zeylanicus), both considered critically endangered. The Southeast Asian country has a protected species list that bans any capture or trade of some endangered wildlife. The keeping of songbirds is a popular pastime in Indonesia, especially among the Javanese, who see it as signifying status and promoting peace of mind. Most were based in Java, with most transactions occurring within the same city or island. This web-scraping tool found 326,201 records of relevant ads, accounting for 284,118 songbirds, the researchers wrote in a These facilities can then sell the offspring, which, crucially, are not designated as protected.

If you want to post a public comment, you can do that at the bottom of the page. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 119(32), e2120777119. Up to half of all the rainfall in the Amazon comes from the forest itself, as moisture is recycled from the trees to the atmosphere and back again. “[W]hile we’ve investigated the impact of drought, that rule also holds for deforestation,” Wunderling said in a statement. resulting in approximately one-third of all tipping events,” the paper says. They looked at past measurements such as rainfall and transpiration rates for each section and assumed the trees there would be adapted to these local conditions. Known as the Amazon’s “flying rivers,” this mass of water vapor is As the forest dries up, experts say, parts of it are rapidly approaching a tipping point where they will transition into a degraded savanna-like ecosystem with few to no trees. When trees die or are cut down in the east, this can have a greater cascading effect on the weather. For every three trees that die due to drought in the Amazon rainforest, a fourth tree, even if not directly affected by drought, will also die, according to a new study. They also found that the severity of droughts matter. Every part of the forest is interlinked, meaning damage in one area can affect neighboring areas, increasing negative effects by one-third.

Researchers have considered how flooding from rising sea levels and storm surges will damage the built environment along the coast, but what about climate ...

"The significance here is that this value that we found for one of the saltwater intrusion scenarios is just for 137,000 buildings in Mobile," Mahmoud said. They say waiting for the right time to repair the foundation -- but not so long that damage has been done -- will save building owners money. The researchers chose to study Mobile because it is an industrial port city with a large economically disadvantaged population. For example, how much wind and water surge during a hurricane can a structure withstand before alternative housing or shelters are needed? They propose a method for inspection and repair to lower the cost associated with deterioration from saltwater corrosion. As sea level rises, so does the groundwater table, and saltwater is more corrosive than freshwater.
