TL;DR: In this paper, the magnitude and evolution of parameters that characterize feedbacks in the coupled carbon-climate system are compared across nine Earth system models (ESMs), based on results from biogeochemically, radiatively, and fully coupled simulations in which CO2 increases at a rate of 1% yr−1.
Abstract: The magnitude and evolution of parameters that characterize feedbacks in the coupled carbon–climate system are compared across nine Earth system models (ESMs). The analysis is based on results from biogeochemically, radiatively, and fully coupled simulations in which CO2 increases at a rate of 1% yr−1. These simulations are part of phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). The CO2 fluxes between the atmosphere and underlying land and ocean respond to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration and to changes in temperature and other climate variables. The carbon–concentration and carbon–climate feedback parameters characterize the response of the CO2 flux between the atmosphere and the underlying surface to these changes. Feedback parameters are calculated using two different approaches. The two approaches are equivalent and either may be used to calculate the contribution of the feedback terms to diagnosed cumulative emissions. The contribution of carbon–concentration feedback to...

TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption of the fallout radionuclides 137 Cs and 210 Pb by individual size fractions in soils and their specific surface area was derived from laboratory experiments and empirical observations of natural soils and sediments.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of type-2 diabetes in individuals of South Asian ancestry provides additional insight into mechanisms underlying T2D and shows the potential for new discovery from genetic association studies in South Asians.
Abstract: John Chambers and colleagues report a genome-wide association study for type 2 diabetes in individuals of south Asian ancestry. They identify six loci newly associated with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Bourdieu argues for a theoretical position one might term his "practical theory" which emphasizes virtuosic interactions between individuals as mentioned in this paper, and most frequently, Bourdieu appeals to the concept of the habitus according to which society consists of objective structures and determined individuals.
Abstract: There are two strands in Bourdieu's sociological writings. On the one hand, Bourdieu argues for a theoretical position one might term his “practical theory” which emphasizes virtuosic interactions between individuals. On the other hand, and most frequently, Bourdieu appeals to the concept of the habitus according to which society consists of objective structures and determined—and isolated—individuals. Although Bourdieu believes that the habitus is compatible with his practical theory and overcomes the impasse of objectivism and subjectivism in social theory, neither claim is the case; the habitus is incompatible with his practical theory, and it retreats quickly into objectivism. However, Bourdieu's practical theory does offer a way out of the impasse of objectivism and subjectivism by focussing on the intersubjective interactions between individuals.
