In “Temporal Passage and the ‘No Alternate Possibilities Argument’”, Jonathan Tallant takes up one objection based on the observation that if time passes at the rate of one second per second there is no other possible rate at which it could pass.

Rate of feed passage in Japanese quail
The rate of passage (ROP) in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) influences the exposure time of food to the digestion and absorption processes. Consequently, ROP affects the efficiency of nutrient utilization and energy from the diet.

Between-individual variability on reticulorumen digesta passage rate in goats
Identifying factors that influence an individual’s ability to utilize nutrients is a strategy for enhancing livestock sustainability. Digesta passage rate (kp) is one of the most important determinants that influence nutrient utilization.

A meta-analysis of passage rate estimated by rumen evacuation with cattle and evaluation of passage rate prediction models [PDF]
A meta-analysis of studies using the flux/compartmental pool method with indigestible neutral detergent fiber (iNDF) as internal marker was conducted to study the effect of extrinsic characteristics and forage type on particle passage rate (k(p)) in cattle.

Diurnal Body Temperature and Rate of Passage of Loggers in Lions [PDF]
The documentation of diurnal patterns in body temperature in lions could be important because disruption of circadian patterns can be a useful measure of distress. This study quantified changes in body temperature of seven African lions (Panthera leo) at

Estimating entropy production rates with first-passage processes [PDF]
AbstractWe consider the problem of estimating the mean entropy production rate in a nonequilibrium process from the measurements of first-passage quantities associated with a single current. For first-passage processes with large thresholds, references (Roldánet al2015Phys. Rev.

Last passage percolation in an exponential environment with discontinuous rates [PDF]
We prove a strong law of large numbers for directed last passage times in an independent but inhomogeneous exponential environment. Rates for the exponential random variables are obtained from a discretisation of a speed function that may be discontinuous on a locally finite set of discontinuity curves.

Relating Bat Passage Rates to Wind Turbine Fatalities [PDF]
Wind energy siting to minimize impacts to bats would benefit from impact predictions following pre-construction surveys, but whether pre- or even post-construction activity patterns can predict fatalities remains unknown. We tested whether bat passage rates through rotor-swept airspace differ between groups of wind turbines where bat fatalities were ...
