Domestication defined

The total solids in municipal wastewaters exist in a distribution of sizes from individual ions up to visible particles. Specific analytical procedures have been established to distinguish the suspended fraction of the total solids and to further distinguish the settleable fraction within the suspended solids. A typical concentration of SS (suspended solids) for raw domestic wastewaters is 200 mg/1, but this can vary substantially from system to system. The lower limiting size for the SS fraction (about 1.5 microns) is arbitrarily defined by the test procedures and it should be noted that variations in test procedures themselves can also lead to... 

For the entire economy, with its countless services and inputs, economists usually define the service or economics efficiency as the entire GDP (Gross Domestic Product) divided by E, the annual total primary energy used Economic Efficiency = GDP/E. 

The significance of this directive , from the corrosion point of view, is that for the first time legally enforceable limits for the concentrations of toxic metals in drinking water have been defined. This has greatly increased the importance of contamination as a consequence of corrosion, as opposed to simple mechanical failure, and has required a reassessment of the suitability of various metals and alloys traditionally used in the supply of water for domestic purposes. 

Many fluids, including some that are encountered very widely both industrially and domestically, exhibit non-Newtonian behaviour and their apparent viscosities may depend on the rate at which they are sheared and on their previous shear history. At any position and time in the fluid, the apparent viscosity pa which is defined as the ratio of the shear stress to the shear rate at that point is given by ... 

QTLs were also detected in tomato introgression lines (domestic tomatoes with single, defined chromosome regions selected from the progeny of a cross with a wild, non-pigmented variety) that correspond to candidate loci for which genes and mutants have been previously characterized. Detected QTLs included the r locus Psy), the Del locus (LcyE), and the B locus. Similar to the tissue-specific expression of maize Yl, the B locus codes a fruit-specific lycopene cyclase associated with higher levels of P-carotene. ... 

Defining the plume of the contamination was straightforward by using existing domestic wells and a few monitoring wells. However, determining the nature of the problem beneath the potliner pile and its vicinity was much more difficult. 

Synthetic chemists desire well defined reaction conditions. Process chemists demand them. Nonuniform heating and difficulties with mixing and temperature measurement are technical constraints that initially limited the scale of microwave chemistry with dry media and have not yet been overcome. Poor reproducibility also has been reported, probably resulting from differences in performance and operation of individual domestic microwave ovens [13-15]. Consequently, most, if not all, of the disclosed applications of dry media are laboratory-scale preparations. However, as discussed in other chapters, this does not prevent their being interesting and useful. 

In the present situation and in the near future, better sensors and improved control systems would require improved measurement functions, and new parameters could be defined. More and more electronics will be used in domestic appliances. Mechanical functions are being replaced by electronic devices, mainly sensors and electromechanical actuators (such as pumps or electromotors) and microelectronic control systems. 

Since before World War II, multimillion pound quantities of cresols have been produced annually in the United States (O Brochta 1949), and domestic production and sales of cresols have steadily increased in recent years. Approximately 57.3 (USITC 1986), 73.3 (USITC 1988), and 82.3 (USITC 1989) million pounds of cresols were produced annually in the United States in 1986, 1987, and 1988, respectively. Respective sales were 56.6 (USITC 1986), 66.8 (USITC 1988), and 72.1 (USITC 1989) million pounds. These production totals include data on the manufacture of cresylic acid and exclude information on cresol production by coke and gas-retort ovens. The commercial mixture of cresol isomers, in which the m-isomer predominates and contains less than 5% phenol, is sometimes referred to as cresylic acid (Windholz et al. 1983). However, cresylic acids generally are composed of cresols, phenols, and xylenols they are defined as those mixtures in which over 50% will boil at temperatures above 204 C (Sax and Lewis 1987). In 1987, the national capacity for producing cresylics was 208 million pounds per year (CMR 1987). Information regarding the production levels of individual isomers and specific mixtures was unavailable. 

Water pollution results from a number of sources including agricultural runoff, erosion, industrial wastes, domestic wastes, and road runoff. Water pollution can be classified as either point source or nonpoint source. Point source pollution is emitted from a specific, well-defined location such as a pipe. Nonpoint sources refer to pollutants dispersed over a wide area from many different areas. A sewer pipe would be an example of a point source and fertilizer runoff from a field would represent nonpoint source pollution. 

Though domestic production of ATS is limited in Africa and South America, drug use surveys conducted in the two regions show that ATS consumption is far from negligible. This means that the markets are supplied by ATS diverted from legitimate pharmaceutical trade. In fact, the defined daily dose per 1000 inhabitants for legally produced ATS in the Americas amounts to more than 10, as compared to rates between 1 and 2 in Europe and Asia.31... 

Ill - Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Texas. IV - Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. V -Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.] The justification is that for the next decade at least oil and gas are likely to continue as the primary sources of domestic recovered sulfur. Second, the inclusion of Arizona and Nevada in PAD district V roughly corresponds with the present market for acid production from copper smelters. Third, as the districts are established on the basis of an aggregation of states, data compilation is simplified. And fourth, as the districts have been defined ja priori they were not based on present expository requirements. 

Under the 1948 commercial standard CS 12-48, fuel oil No. 1 is defined as intended for vaporizing pot-type burners and other burners requiring this grade, whereas No. 2 is defined as for general purpose domestic heating for use in burners not requiring No. 1. The No. 1 fuel is therefore specified to have a low 10% point in the ASTM distillation to ensure quick starting, and a low end point and low carbon residue to ensure clean vaporization. 

The Chemical Diversion and Trafficking Act of 1988 defines precursor chemicals that can be used in the process of producing illicit drugs. Companies producing or supplying such chemicals must keep certain records and report orders that are suspicious or above a specified size prior to delivery. The Domestic Chemical Diversion Control Act of 1993 further e.xpanded these controls, dealing particularly with the diversion of ephedrine (found in over-the-counter antihistamines) to the production of methamphetamines ( speed ).
