the ring is visible in the slice, which corresponds to a distance range based on those redshift values and cosmological parameters. I think this is effectively a spherical shell of a certain thickness.
"How a coastline 100 million years ago influences modern election results in Alabama"
With some maps of Cretaceous sediments, fertile Black Belt Prairie soil, farm size 1997, slave population 1860, black population 2010, and Election Results.
A little bit about the soils from a different link:
"The Black Belt is the only region in Alabama with extensive regions of alkaline soils (soil pH> 7.0). Early settlers discovered these clayey soils held more nutrients and were generally more productive than the sandier Coastal Plain soils. For this reason, many of the large, antebellum cotton plantations were located in the Black Belt region of Alabama and Mississippi. Black Belt soil color is dark because of the humus, or decomposed organic matter, that often coats the clay particles. However, severe erosion due to intensive farming practices removed much of the dark, rich topsoil."
The solar radiation wattage per unit of surface area is dependent on the angle that surface is to the sun. The angle is dependent on the season and time of day, so the amount of power is not fixed.
What the comment wanted to say is that the power per unit of ground surface area is fixed for a given location and time, i.e. it does not matter [1] whether you cover a given area with panels angled towards the sun or lying flat on the ground, at least if one only looks at the available power. There is of course a difference in the solar panel area required to cover a given area of ground surface - solar panels lying flat on the ground will obviously have to have the same area as the ground surface area while panels angled towards the sun will only require a fraction of the ground surface area equal to the sine of the angle of the sun above the horizon.
[1] For a sufficiently large area so that effects on the edge are negligible.
You could write a few pages of all the things that the power available depends on, but you don't need to because it's fixed relative to the variables under consideration.
Per unit of panel surface area, not per unit of land area. If the sun is coming in at an angle, you'd be able to collect all that's available with less panel area than total land area by angling them (or equivalently, in this new configuration you need more panel area than you otherwise would), but in their estimation, it's cheaper to just get more panels than it is to buy and install racks.
>The solar radiation wattage per unit of surface area is dependent on the angle that surface is to the sun.
A tilted solar panel casts a shadow that is bigger than its actual area. Mounting the panel flush to the ground means it casts a shadow exactly equal to its area.
The shadow represents the captured sunlight so the first panel covers more surface area than the second panel, which allows you to reduce the number of panels to cover the same amount of surface area. The entire point of this article is that you can just put the saved costs into buying more solar panels.
Used solar panels are very cheap but usually only the solar panels are replaced and the mounts are kept and fitted with new panels. So for companies that want to use used panels their primary cost is actually in the mounting hardware and not the panels.
I can certainly interpolate my personal experiences but I'm afraid I would miss something. Also, doing so would not explain this:
Why some people dress or act similar to opposite sex to appear attractive to someone of the same sex? I mean, voice gestures etc. Hm...I should not said act, it's likely their trait. Anyway, why would someone who is gay be attracted to that person rather than opposite sex. I think sexuality is quite more fluid and calling someone gay does not mean much beyond 'not straight'.
Having just watched the SXSW town hall with no preconceived notion of Buttigieg, I completely disagree that he "basically bombed the first 20 minutes". I found him engaging and thoughtful.
