To print an image lithographically, the flat surface of the stone plate is roughened slightly — etched — and divided into hydrophilic regions that accept a film of water, and thereby repel the greasy ink ; and hydrophobic regions that repel water and accept ink because the surface tension is greater on the greasy image area, which remains dry.

Between the humid Mediterranean coast and the arid desert regions lies a semiarid steppe zone extending across three-quarters of the country, which receives hot, dry winds blowing across the desert.

Summer is traditionally associated with hot dry weather, but this does not occur in all regions.

The climate is generally tropical with average temperatures ranging from on the coast to about in the northernmost regions, with a dry climate and characteristics of a tropical savanna.

The climate is generally tropical with average temperatures ranging from on the coast to about in the northernmost regions, with a dry climate and characteristics of a tropical savanna.

The climate in the southern regions especially Ho Chi Minh City and surrounding Mekong Delta is predominantly Tropical savanna climate with high humidity and a distinct wet and dry season.

In some tropical and subtropical regions it is more common to speak of the rainy ( or wet, or monsoon ) season versus the dry season.

In regions with dry climates, the tendency of mountains to have higher precipitation as well as lower temperatures also provides for varying conditions, which in turn leads to differing flora and fauna.

They prevent frigid, dry Arctic winds blowing south into the subcontinent, which keeps South Asia much warmer than corresponding temperate regions in the other continents.

S. mahagoni grows on the West Indian islands as far north as the Bahamas, the Florida Keys and parts of Florida ; S. humilis grows in the dry regions of the Pacific coast of Central America from south-western Mexico to Costa Rica ; S. macrophylla grows in Central America from Yucatan southwards and into South America, extending as far as Peru, Bolivia and extreme western Brazil.

Other historians have argued that Gardiner's exclusion had non-religious causes, that Norfolk was not noticeably conservative in religion, that conservatives remained on the Council, and that the radicalism of men such as Sir Anthony Denny, who controlled the dry stamp that replicated the king's signature, is debatable.

As a " wet lab " analytic biochemistry assay, ELISA involves detection of an " analyte " ( i. e. the specific substance whose presence is being quantitatively or qualitatively analyzed ) in a liquid sample by a method that continues to use liquid reagents during the " analysis " ( i. e. controlled sequence of biochemical reactions that will generate a signal which can be easily quantified and interpreted as a measure of the amount of analyte in the sample ) that stays liquid and remains inside a reaction chamber or well needed to keep the reactants contained ; It is opposed to " dry lab " that can use dry strips-and even if the sample is liquid ( e. g. a measured small drop ), the final detection step in " dry " analysis involves reading of a dried strip by methods such as reflectometry and does not need a reaction containment chamber to prevent spillover or mixing between samples.

A single-blind controlled trial of 102 volunteers found that after 40 days of drinking 330 mL / day of mate tea ( concentration 50g dry leaves / L water ), people with already-healthy cholesterol levels experienced an 8. 7 % reduction in LDL, and hyperlipidemic individuals experienced an 8. 6 % reduction in LDL and a 4. 4 % increase in HDL, on average.

Thus, the range of water content within which these clays can be worked is very narrow and the loss or gain of water during storage and throwing or forming must be carefully controlled to keep the clay from becoming too wet or too dry to manipulate.

The signal box provided a dry, climate controlled space for the complex interlocking mechanics and also the signalman.

Wet barrel hydrant outlets are typically individually controlled, while a single stem operates all the outlets of a dry barrel hydrant simultaneously.

But most importantly, Hoover only controlled the lower portion of the river, and the upper basin, whose rivers flowed wild and free, had no way to ensure it could utilize its water allotment in dry years because of the lack of sufficient storage.

Flip-Top caps like Flapper closures provide controlled dispensing of dry products.

It is recommended that appliances that need a controlled shutdown sequence ( such as many ink-jet printers ) not be plugged into a slave socket on such a strip as it can damage them if they are switched off incorrectly ( for example the inkjet printer may not have capped the print head in time, and consequently the ink will dry and clog the print head.

The pH is controlled and various fillers, such as whitening agents, size and wet strength or dry strength are added if necessary.

Deliberately starting controlled burns early in the dry season results in a mosaic of burnt and unburnt country which reduces the area of stronger, late dry season fires.

Dust can also be controlled through dry air filtering.
