Environmental events

Provides manifest tracking, permit tracking, source inventory, environmental events, TSCA required data management, waste disposal costs, and groundwater monitoring. 

Additional evidence to support this claim comes from the fact that there was a significant correlation between subjects performance on the ToM tasks and their scores on an attributional scale questionaire. This showed that individuals who tended to make more errors on the ToM tasks were also more likely to misattribute the blame for any unfortunate events that befell them, being prone to blaming others rather than themselves or unavoidable environmental events.

Sudden shifts to lower or higher values in the T plot are generally operator related. Different operators may use slightly different procedures that lead to bias. New reagent lots may introduce systematic error through blank contamination or different potency. Sudden undocumented environmental events may... 

Q14 It is possible but unlikely. There is evidence of a genetic predisposition to celiac disease and the onset of symptoms can be triggered in susceptible individuals by an environmental event. The amount of gluten that can be taken by a susceptible individual, without provoking symptoms, varies greatly some patients are much more sensitive than others and the immune reactivity...

The sophiolytic instinct thus turned out to be merely a descriptive artifact resulting from the way animal nervous systems have evolved to operate, the HRS system as the primary cognitive operation, and the requirement of activation of the SD (significance detection) system, dependent on unusual ENV (environmental) events, for overruling of the HRS patterns as templates for thinking and behavior. As to the question of why evolution produced a nervous system that detected, not reality directly, but a... 

This provides the background to this relatively new concept. The key issues are identified, but it was evident at a very early stage that a major issue is the lack of comparability between reports, which provides support for the urgent need to establish worldwide standards. After charting the relevant environmental events, the report identifies the main drivers, in particular legislation and pressure groups. It also draws upon the published literature, including a number of previous surveys carried out on CERs from across the whole of industry. 

Biotic extinctions of varying magnitudes are associated with many era boundaries (see Section 1.5.5), and there are often accompanying excursions in the carbon isotopic record. Such isotopic excursions reflect environmental events of sufficient size to have an impact on the global carbon cycle. However, it is not always easy to determine whether the excursion was the result of the extinction event (due to biotic collapse), is attributable to some other consequence of the event leading to the extinction or may even be largely unrelated to the extinction event. The problems associated with interpretation of isotopic excursions are demonstrated by three important boundary events in the following subsections. 

In modern pediatrics and developmental psychobiology, this adaptation is called fetal programming or prenatal programming. It s a new concept. The general idea is that during development important physiological parameters can be reset by environmental events—and the resetting can endure into...
