The most notable example has been the objection of many provinces of the Communion ( particularly in Africa and Asia ) to the changing role of homosexuals in the North American churches ( e. g., by blessing same-sex unions and ordaining and consecrating gays and lesbians in same-sex relationships ), and to the process by which changes were undertaken.

For example, the positrons produced in natural radioactive decay quickly annihilate themselves with electrons, producing pairs of gamma rays, a process exploited in positron emission tomography.

A less obvious example of this type of protection is the process of galvanising iron ( though the name of the process provides the essential clue ).

An abstraction can be seen as a process of mapping multiple different pieces of constituent data to a single piece of abstract data based on similarities in the constituent data, for example many different physical cats map to the abstraction " CAT ".

A hedge fund that is an example of this type of arbitrage is Greenridge Capital, which acts as an angel investor retaining equity in private companies which are in the process of becoming publicly traded, buying in the private market and later selling in the public market.

For example, if in a search task the reaction times vary proportionally with the number of elements, then it is evident that this cognitive process of searching involves serial instead of parallel processing.

As an example of this process, in 2008 Danish researchers first revealed the sequence of events when oxygen and hydrogen combine on the surface of titanium dioxide ( TiO < sub > 2 </ sub >, or titania ) to produce water.

For example, in the Haber process, finely divided iron serves as a catalyst for the synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen.

The largest-scale example is ammonia, which is prepared via the Haber process from nitrogen.

Computation is a process following a well-defined model understood and expressed as, for example, an algorithm, or a protocol.

For example, recently several bird classified as threatened with extinction appeared in the legal wild bird trade because the CITES process never considered their status.

This process usually takes the form of a chain reaction, for example in the reaction of alkanes with halogens.

An example is to be found on the uninhabited island of Vementry on the north side of the West Mainland, where it appears that the cairn may have originally been circular and its distinctive heel shape added as a secondary development, a process repeated elsewhere in Shetland.

At maturity level 5, processes are concerned with addressing statistical common causes of process variation and changing the process ( for example, to shift the mean of the process performance ) to improve process performance.

For example, while in a conversion to Judaism a convert must accept basic Jewish principles of faith, and renounce all other religions, the process is more like a form of adoption, or changing national citizenship ( i. e. becoming a formal member of the people, or tribe ), with the convert becoming a " child of Abraham and Sarah.

This technique is an example of a continuous vs. a batch process ; advantages include less downtime to charge the reaction vessel with starting material, and less workup.

An example of a business workflow process using Business Process Modeling Notation.

A simple example would consist of looking up a given word in a dictionary, then proceeding to look up the words found in that word's definition, etc., also comparing with older dictionaries from different periods in time, and such a process would never end.

Another example is using naturally present bacteria by the mining industry in bioleaching.

For example, industrial farming could not have been invented before simple farming, and metallurgy could not have developed without previous non-smelting processes involving metals ( such as simple ground collection or mining ).

poaching threatens wildlife populations ( for example, the Painted Hunting Dog, Lycaon pictus is now considered extinct in the Congo due to human overpopulation and poaching ); water pollution ; deforestation ( chiefly due to land conversion to agriculture by indigenous farmers ); refugees responsible for significant deforestation, soil erosion, and wildlife poaching ; mining of minerals ( coltan — a mineral used in creating capacitors, diamonds, and gold ) causing environmental damage

Child labour can be factory work, mining or quarrying, agriculture, helping in the parents ' business, having one's own small business ( for example selling food ), or doing odd jobs.

Surface mining is much more common, and produces, for example, 85 % of minerals ( excluding petroleum and natural gas ) in the United States, including 98 % of metallic ores.

For example, 99 tons of waste are generated per ton of copper, with even higher ratios in gold mining.

In 2000 it was estimated that 3, 500 tailings impoundments existed, and that every year, 2 to 5 major failures and 35 minor failures occurred ; for example, in the Marcopper mining disaster at least 2 million tons of tailings were released into a local river.

Lotus introduced what is likely the most successful example, Lotus Improv, which saw some commercial success, notably in the financial world where its powerful data mining capabilities remain well respected to this day.

For example, the data mining step might identify multiple groups in the data, which can then be used to obtain more accurate prediction results by a decision support system.

For example, a data mining algorithm trying to distinguish " spam " from " legitimate " emails would be trained on a training set of sample e-mails.

There have been some efforts to define standards for the data mining process, for example the 1999 European Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining ( CRISP-DM 1. 0 ) and the 2004 Java Data Mining standard ( JDM 1. 0 ).

Another example of data mining, often called the market basket analysis, relates to its use in retail sales.

An example of data mining related to an integrated-circuit production line is described in the paper " Mining IC Test Data to Optimize VLSI Testing.

Another example of data mining in science and engineering is found in educational research, where data mining has been used to study the factors leading students to choose to engage in behaviors which reduce their learning ,< ref >

For example, whereas one of the benefits of the gold standard is that the intrinsic limitations to the growth of the money supply by the use of gold or silver would prevent inflation, if the growth of population or increase in trade outpaces the money supply, there would be no way to counteract deflation and reduced liquidity ( and any attendant recession ) except for the mining of more gold or silver under a gold or silver standard.

Human-powered land vehicles, such as the handcar ( a human-powered railroad car ), normally travel at ground level but can also travel above ( for example, on a trestle ) and below ground ( such as when used in mining ).

It also did poorly in industrial or poorer urban areas ; for example it won only 9. 33 % in the Pas-de-Calais, a department formerly dominated by coal mining, in 2009.

Three bounty killers are dispatched by the mining company to make an example of McCabe but he refuses to abandon the town.

For example, mining work — which is dangerous and uncomfortable — would be more highly paid than office work for the same amount of time, thus allowing the miner to work fewer hours for the same pay, and the burden of highly dangerous and strenuous jobs to be shared among the populace.

# It represents a form of placer mining practiced in Georgia, for example.

A recent example is the Sunday thanksgiving mass at Campamento Esperanza ( English: Camp Hope ), Chile, where services were led by both a Roman Catholic priest and by an Evangelical preacher during the Chilean 2010 Copiapó mining accident.

Coltan mining has been cited as helping to finance serious conflict, for example in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Clarkdale was built to be one of the most modern mining towns in the world, including telephone, telegraph, electrical, sewer and spring water services, and was an early example of a planned community.
