Adverse weather conditions

Economic Market. The spice trade is controlled by many direct elements and responds slowly to supply and demand fluctuations. Resupply depends on growth to plant maturity, which for certain items, such as black pepper or nutmeg, can be several years. The raw material is directly affected by climate, adverse weather conditions, and control of plant diseases and insect and animal pests. Limited agricultural scientific advances are appHed to the cultivation of the botanicals, and there are many grades of product and degrees of quahty caused by different growing or processing conditions, sometimes by unknown factors as well. 

Strontium. Strontium 2-ethyIhexanoate [2457-02-5] is a candidate to replace lead in lead-free paints. It functions well under adverse weather conditions and promotes through drying. Outdoor performance of low pigmented coatings like stains may be effected negatively by using strontium instead of zirconium. 

For facilities that include large numbers of motors and other electrical equipment, it normally is both more economical and more convenient to furnish a building to enclose the required motor starters and distribution panels. This building is normally referred to as a motor control center (MCC). In addition to typically allowing less expensive non-explosion-proof equipment, these buildings are frequently environmentally controlled (air conditioned, and possibly heated in colder climates) to reduce equipment corrosion and enhance reliability. Maintenance is more easily performed indoors than if the equipment were installed outside and maintenance personnel were subject to extreme cold, rain, snow, or other adverse weather conditions. 

Electric power transmission and distribution systems are extremely vulnerable to adverse weather conditions. It appeats to many people that extteme weather is becoming more frequent and also more violent. It has been suggested that this is due to increased heat and humidity in Earth s environment, leading to increases in both rain and snowfall. The effect of... 

It has been shown that inclusion of fine mbber particles in asphalt reduces the cracking of pavement in adverse weather conditions [60,61]. There are two methods for introducing ground waste mbber into asphalt, namely, wet and dry processes. Wet process is carried out at 170°C-220°C for 45-120 min. Rubber particles absorb components with similar value of solubility parameter (5) from the asphalt, causing them to swell. The interaction between mbber and asphalt is mainly of physical nature. In the dry process, mbber is used as a replacement for part of the aggregate and is added to the mineral material before the latter is mixed with the asphalt binder. Addition of mbber greatly improves the elasticity of the binder and generally lowers its brittle point. Incorporation of GRT... 

Field beans grow well on clay soils and heavy loams, provided they are well-drained and limed (pH above 6). Winter beans are not frost hardy and so are risky to grow, north of the Midlands. In some rotations, beans replace the clover break and they are usually followed by wheat. Yields for spring and winter field beans are shown in Table 5.4. The problem with field beans is their variable yield, which is partly caused by adverse weather conditions and susceptibility to pests and diseases (winter beans get chocolate spot, spring beans are aphid prone), and partly due to the uncertain activity of the necessary insect crosspollinators. 

A final category of potential confounders includes the variety of exercise regimens and environments utilized in the research, everything from laboratory cycle ergometers (most common) to cross-country skiing at high altitude in adverse weather conditions. 

The results of this situation can be readily foreseen. A requisition for a specific item is occasionally filled with an item which, at first glance, appears to be the one requested but, actually, was formulated for a different purpose and is either inadequate or dangerous to use for the intended purpose. A specific example of the hazards inherent in this situation may be found in the case of insecticide space spray composed of 1% DDT, 0.1% pyrethrins, or 2.5% thiocyanate in deodorized kerosene and 5% residual-effect DDT, both of which are issued in 5-gallon steel drums. Obviously, if a requisition for residual-effect DDT were to be filled with space spray, the application of the solution as a residual-effect compound w ould be of little or no value. Under some conditions, when stocks have been exposed to such adverse weather conditions that all gross identifying marks have been removed from the containers, the assumption has been made by the untrained native laborers that all unidentifiable cans of the same size contained the same material. Were it possible to have just one insecticide for all military purposes, such a situation could easily be avoided. 

Applications. Ultraviolet detectors are ideally suited for applications where rapidly developing fire can occur in a relatively open area. UV detectors can be used to monitor ammunition assembly lines, gunpowder troughs, or open areas that are stocked with hazardous materials. These detectors are not typically affected by extremes of temperature or pressure, adverse weather conditions, high humidity, nor are they sensitive to solar radiation. 

Both projects are designed to draw their energy from an organic photovoltaic layer, thus creating harmony with weather phenomena from the outset. Sunshine activates the objects under adverse weather conditions they are present in the public space in static form. 

Aerosol OT Surfactant is used in special formulations that are applied directly to glass surfaces to prevent fogging under adverse weather conditions. Some of these formulations give durable films that stand up under severe tests. An example of an excellent "Antifog" paste is as follows ... 

Of all the triazines tested in 1958, atrazine gave the best and most consistent results (Lee, 1958), without negative side effects such as crop injury, drift, serious handling problems, allergic responses, or odors. However, by far the most important characteristic of both simazine and atrazine was their ability to control many weed species for the entire growing season, with no corn injury at even high rates, and under adverse weather conditions (e.g., cold and wet). 

Beside Eszencia and Aszu, Tokaj specialty wines include three more types, Forditas, Maslas, and Szamorodni (Eperjesi, 2010 Kirkland, 1996). Szamorodni (meaning "as it was bom") is the most internationally well known. In vineyard sections where the selection of botrytized berries is unprofitable because of their limited presence or adverse weather conditions, noble-rotted and sound berries are harvested together. Vinification follows standard procedures, typical to other white wines. Depending on the initial sugar content of the must, the resulting wine is sweet or dry and is matured for 2 years (at least 1 year in oak barrels). 

Various grape-picking strategies and techniques are applied in botrytized wine making. Regardless, a prolonged or late harvest is necessary a factor which implies risk of losing the crop to bunch rot, other infections or frost under adverse weather conditions. 

In 2001 several major North American ammonia producers unexpectedly curtailed some of their ammonia and urea production. These producers cited over-capacity and low demand that were caused by adverse weather conditions and depressed crop prices. Although many plants take periodic shutdowns, the combination of import competition that depressed prices and very high feedstock costs in many industrialized countries during 2000 resulted in shutdowns of... 

For best performance aerobic biological waste water treatment plants must be maintained at a constant dissolved oxygen (DO) level. Under certain conditions, e.g. adverse weather conditions or under biological oxygen demand (BOD) overloaded conditions, DO levels drop and treatment effectiveness can be seriously reduced. Continuous running under lower than optimum DO levels leads to biological upsets such as proliferation of anaerobic or filimentous... 

Stickers increase the adherence of the chemical to the treated surface, thus increasing its persistence, particnlarly under adverse weather conditions. Many spreaders also possess wetting and spreading characteristics. 

Peanuts. When the kernels are fully developed and taking on a mature color, the plants are dug mechanically, shaken to remove the soil, and inverted into windrows to dry (cure) and mature completely. Ideally, the peanuts are left to cure for several days until the moisture content drops to ca 10%. They are harvested mechanically. Green harvesting is practiced under adverse weather conditions, yielding peanuts with 18—25% moisture artificial drying reduces the moisture to ca 10%. After the moisture is equilibrated between the kernels and hulls, the former contain 7—8% moisture, which is safe for storage. 

Exposed concrete surfaces should have dense and hard texture that can withstand adverse weather conditions. 

Animal operations such as individual farms or huge industrial animal production facilities (e.g., beef and dairy cattle) located near shores can generate enormous surface runoff, particularly under adverse weather conditions, and can cause water pollution (Fayer et al., 1998, 1999 Freire-Santos et al., 2000 Gomez-Bautista et al., 2000). 

Deficiencies at the sewage treatment plants such as volume limitations related to designed capacity of a plant under adverse weather conditions such as heavy rainfall allow the discharge of large amounts of unprocessed waste waters. In addition, the periodic breakdown in particle removal or inadequate disinfection can deliver human enteropathogens into shellfish-harvested waters (Rippey, 1994). 

Plectranthus marrubioides Kenya imports all the camphor used in the local industry. The camphor content in the essential oil of P. marrubioides would be a good source for use in the pharmacentical industry, especially for preparatiorrs such as local anesthetics, remedies for rheirmatic and mnscular pairts and for respiratory conditions. These potential nses justify cultivation of this plant on a commercial scale. The plant is easily propagated from cnttings. It can withstand adverse weather conditions and can also co-exist with other plants as an rmdergrowth in forests (66). 

As with trapping, the delivery mechanisms for the pheromones are important. They must be able to provide a nominated dose over an extended period, often under adverse weather conditions. Thus, various slow-release methods have been devised for field use and incorporated into the delivery systems. These have involved the use of hollow fibres as reservoirs which can be applied aerially on to the canopy of plants twisted rope formulations consisting of wire-based sealed polyethylene tubes filled with disruptant that are twisted around the base of plants other polyethylene or rubber tube or polymeric ampullae dispensers, multilayered laminates of acrylic polymer flakes, resin-treated filter paper and micro-encapsulated formulations.
