Shelter enhancement

Because the positive pole is relatively sheltered from close approach, these solvents cannot effectively solvate anions, which, therefore, display an enhanced nucleophilicity... 

Another application or example of phytoremediation is phytostabilization by reforestation, such as the reclamation of metalliferous mine wastes. Phytostabilization is the stabilization of contaminants in surface soils (especially in root zones) by preventing them from leaching down profiles or entering surface runoff. The additional benefits of reforestation in reclamation include supplying local timber needs, the provision of employment in rural areas, the enhancement of the surrounding scenery, the establishment of perimeter wind breaks and shelter belts, the provision of food and shelter for wildlife, and the reduction of surface water and resulting erosion (Williamson and Johnson, 1981). 

We, the people of planet earth, with respect for the dignity of each human life, with concern for future generations, with growing appreciation of our relation to our environment, with recognition of limits to our resources, and with need for adequate food, air, water, shelter, health, protection, justice, and self-fulfillment, hereby declare our interdependence and resolve to work together in brotherhood and in harmony with our environment to enhance the quality of life everywhere. ... 

Indirect defense of plants against herbivores is another type of defense that involves all the ways by which plants enhance the effectiveness of natural enemies of the herbivores. There are three types of indirect defense of plants against herbivores (1) offering shelters to carnivores, (2) offering alternative foods to carnivores, and (3) attracting carnivores by emitting the so-called herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) . Because the focus of this chapter is on the role of chemicals in plant defense, the second and the third type of indirect defense will be discussed here. 

Another unique characteri.stic of gas is its searching effect. A hastily dug fox bole affords individual shelter from machine-gun bullets, A copse of trees may well protect a whole company of infantry from artillery fire. But gas follows no narrow trajectory it permeates the air and overcomes all incidental obstacles of terrain to stalk iU quarry relentlessly. These distinctive features combine to enhance the p< wer and utility of chemical agents, particularly in their action against personnel. 

Since the ancient past many plant-based products have been used in meeting food, medicine, shelter and cultural needs. In many countries, traditional people beheved and based their health-care and medicinal needs on plants (as well as insects, animals) found in their environment to cure specific ailments, enhance health and beauty, improve health and nutrition and for religious and spiritual...

C. Neurovascular Syndrome. The neurovascular syndrome is associated with absorbed doses in the supralethal range and would be seen quite rarely since heat and blast effects would cause immediate lethality in most situations where the required very high radiation doses would be sustained. Exceptions could occur in aircrews exposed to prompt nuclear radiation from high altitude detonations and personnel protected against heat and blast in hardened sites below the surface or personnel in vehicles or shelters in the proximity of enhanced weapons detonations. The latent period is very short varying from several hours to 1 to 3 days. 

It has been amply proved and established that both tuberculosis and the Mycobacterium avium complex infection are enhanced significantly by virtue of the fact that the relatively high number of AIDS patients that usually coexist specifically in the huge irmer city populations, and also due to plenty of homeless shelters. In actual practice, the antimicrobial drugs that are solely employed for the effective...

Although hypothermia, sunburn, frostbite, and snow blindness do occur in Antarctica, these conditions rarely affect experienced field scientists. The most common weather-related health problems arise because of dehydration whieh not only affects kidney function and blood chemistry but also causes uncomfortable eracking and irritation of the skin. The most dangerous weather-related hazard is fire which can cause painful and potentially life-threatening burns and can also result in the loss of shelter, such as a dormitory building in McMurdo Station or a Scott tent in the field. The fire hazard is enhanced by the low humidity of the air and by the scarcity of liquid water with whieh to douse the flames.
