One less-noted advantage of PCCs is their lower muzzle report compared to more powerful rifles ; because they are less noisy when fired, they are less likely to cause permanent hearing damage when fired indoor without hearing protection-this can be an important consideration during home defense.

In 2004, Botanical Society of America's Plant Science Bulletin disputed Dr. Temple's research as flawed which published evidence as to why the dodo's extinction did not directly cause the increasing disappearance of young trees including suggestion that tortoises would have been more likely to disperse the seeds than dodo hence discrediting Temple's view as to the dodo and the tree's sole survival relationship.

A notable contradiction existed in Hitler's strategic planning between embarking on an anti-British foreign policy, whose major instruments consisted of a vastly expanded Kriegsmarine and a Luftwaffe capable of a strategic bombing offensive that would take several years to build ( e. g. Plan Z for expanding the Kriegsmarine was a five year plan ), and engaging in reckless short-term actions such as attacking Poland that were likely to cause a general war.

Errors in crossover are especially likely when similar sequences cause partner chromosomes to adopt a mistaken alignment ; this makes some regions in genomes more prone to mutating in this way.

These injuries not only cause gruesome wounds, but may also impact population processes by reducing calf production ( and survival ) in wounded females – observations also speak to the likely pain and suffering endured ".

As many mutations cause cancer, mutagens are therefore also likely to be carcinogens.

# During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.

Some data also supports that the partially selective nabumetone is less likely to cause gastrointestinal events.

He contends that more comets are arriving in the inner Solar System from a particular region of the Oort Cloud than can be explained by the galactic tide or stellar perturbations alone, and that the most likely cause is a Jupiter-mass object in a distant orbit.

Each province contains a series of giant shield volcanoes that are similar to what we see on Earth and likely are the result of mantle hot spots.

The exact mechanism by which the corona is heated is still the subject of some debate, but likely possibilities include induction by the Sun's magnetic field and sonic pressure waves from below ( the latter being less probable now that coronae are known to be present in massive, hot, highly magnetic stars ).

If " hot Jupiters " did exist in close orbit they would likely disrupt the star's habitable zone ; their exclusion is thus a positive for the possibility of Earth-like planets.

Ice cream is sold during the hot summer months at a much greater rate than during colder times, and it is during these hot summer months that people are more likely to engage in activities involving water, such as swimming.

The closest analogs within the Milky Way galaxy of the stars producing long gamma-ray bursts are likely the Wolf – Rayet stars, extremely hot and massive stars which have shed most or all of their hydrogen due to radiation pressure.

The other main pests likely to be encountered are aphids ( usually on young stems and immature flower buds ), red spider mite ( causing foliage mottling and discolouration, worse in hot and dry conditions ) and capsid bugs ( resulting in contortion and holes at growing tips ).

( It is likely that it comes from the word värmd, a small hot spring in the ocean which causes holes in the ice in winter, and which there are several of in the area.

The latter case corresponds to the so called hot Jupiters, which are likely to have stopped their migration when they reached the inner hole in the protoplanetary disk.

If the reaction is performed under warm or hot conditions ( which favor an increase in entropy ), E1 elimination is likely to predominate, leading to formation of an alkene.

Then Governor-General Fausto Cruzat Y Gongora ( July 25, 1690 to December 8, 1701 ) had most likely spent much of his time in the northern outpost in Carranglan and Pantabangan and, baking in the fiercely hot climate, probably waxed nostalgic about his hometown in Ecija, Andalusia in Spain.

Episodes featured beer barrels being lined with pitch or iron foundry workers drinking ' light ' beer while they worked in hot conditions to quench thirst, practices which he knew were likely to be ended soon.

The process is less effective in food preservation than are thermal techniques, such as boiling, because pathogens are more likely to be able to survive cold temperatures rather than hot temperatures.

More likely, the volcano weathered away ; hot volcanic gases and steam turned hard rock into soft clay that were easily eroded by glacial action.

These likely refer to the bird's habit of calling on hot days, often presaging thunderstorms.
