** Hysteresis: Changing or reversing the magnetic field in the core also causes losses due to the motion of the tiny magnetic domains it is composed of.

** Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels: This family of channels is characterized by activation due to the binding of intracellular cAMP or cGMP, with specificity varying by member.

** Formaldehyde tanning ( being phased out due to its danger to workers and the sensitivity of many people to formaldehyde ) is another method of aldehyde tanning.

** Self-focusing, an effect due to the Optical Kerr effect ( and possibly higher order nonlinearities ) caused by the spatial variation in the intensity creating a spatial variation in the refractive index

** Self-phase modulation ( SPM ), an effect due to the Optical Kerr effect ( and possibly higher order nonlinearities ) caused by the temporal variation in the intensity creating a temporal variation in the refractive index

** Optical solitons, An equilibrium solution for either an optical pulse ( temporal soliton ) or Spatial mode ( spatial soliton ) that does not change during propagation due to a balance between diffraction and the Kerr effect ( e. g. Self-phase modulation for temporal and Self-focusing for spatial solitons ).

** Different horsepower rating for Australia due to different ignition map used because of possible low grade fuel.

** Check engine warning light added to all US models due to California regulatory demands.

** Engine displacemente increases to 5. 4 L due to longer stroke crankshaft and different compression height

** High dynamic range rendering, allows preservation of details that may be lost due to limiting contrast ratios

** Exostosis is an abnormal bony overgrowth narrowing the ear canal due to frequent, long-term splashing or filling of cold water into the ear canal, also known as surfer's ear.

** Infection due to water-borne bacteria, viruses, or parasites.

** In 1999, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) led by the United States launched air attacks against Yugoslavia ( then composed of only Serbia and Montenegro ) to pressure the Yugoslav government to end its military operations against ethnic Albanian separatists in Kosovo due to accusations of war crimes being committed by Yugoslav military forces working alongside nationalist Serb paramilitary groups.
