Industrial agriculture, deforestation, roads, anthropogenic climate change and urban sprawl are amongst the most significant human activities in regards to their effect on stimulating erosion.

Strengthening of the greenhouse effect through human activities is known as the enhanced ( or anthropogenic ) greenhouse effect.

Soil formation, or pedogenesis, is the combined effect of physical, chemical, biological, and anthropogenic processes on soil parent material.

* 2008 In preparation for the 34th G8 summit, the national science academies of the G8 + 5 nations issued a declaration reiterating the position of the 2005 joint science academies ’ statement, and reaffirming “ that climate change is happening and that anthropogenic warming is influencing many physical and biological systems .” Among other actions, the declaration urges all nations to “( t ) ake appropriate economic and policy measures to accelerate transition to a low carbon society and to encourage and effect changes in individual and national behaviour .” The thirteen signatories were the same national science academies that issued the 2007 joint statement.

Stratospheric aerosols cool the surface and troposphere by reflecting solar radiation, warm the stratosphere by absorbing terrestrial radiation, and when combined with anthropogenic chlorine in the stratosphere, destroy ozone which moderates the effect of lower stratospheric warming.

This institute later took the view that tobacco was having no effect, that Acid Rain was not caused by human emissions, that ozone was not depleted by CFCs, that pesticides were not environmentally harmful and it was also critical of the consensus view of anthropogenic global warming.

AAPG also stated support for " research to narrow probabilistic ranges on the effect of anthropogenic CO < sub > 2 </ sub > on global climate.

The Environment Court agreed with the scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change and concluded that the proposed CO < sub > 2 </ sub > emissions would be an " adverse effect of some consequence " under the RMA.

The term anthropogenic designates an effect or object resulting from human activity.

* A major eruption of the South Pacific volcano Kuwae in Vanuatu has a subsequent global cooling effect ( the eruption released more sulfate than any other event in the past 700 years ).

In some materials, such as herapathite ( iodoquinine sulfate ) or Polaroid sheets, the effect is not strongly dependent on wavelength, and so the term dichroic is something of a misnomer, but still used.

Torbern Bergman also observed that the addition of potash or ammonia made the solution of alumina in sulfuric acid crystallize, but that the same effect was not produced by the addition of soda or of lime, and that potassium sulfate is frequently found in alum.

Among the antidepressants, amitriptyline may reduce depression, but mianserin, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine and phenelzine sulfate showed no effect.

Magnesium is similarly absorbed from Epsom salts, although the sulfate in these salts adds to their laxative effect at higher doses.

The heme moiety of intact hemoglobin is chemically converted by oxalic acid and ferrous oxalate or ferrous sulfate to protoporphyrin, and the porphyrin content of both the original sample and of the sample after hemoglobin conversion to porphyrin is quantified by comparative fluorescence against a reference standard ; the specificity for hemoglobin is increased by subtracting the fluorescence of a sample blank prepared with citric acid to correct for the potential confounding effect of existing non-specific substances.

It decreases total and free testosterone, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate ( DHEAS ), dihydrotestosterone ( DHT ) and sex hormone – binding globulin ( SHBG ), but has no effect on sexual function or markers of androgen bioactivity.

Copper sulfate and powdered zinc can also be used, but to lesser effect:

* Sulfur Cycle Model-An investigation of the effect of sulfate aerosols on the climate.

It is theorized that detonating large numbers of nuclear weapons has a profound and severe effect on the climate causing cold weather and reduced sunlight for a period of months or even years, especially over flammable targets such as cities, where large amounts of smoke and soot would be ejected into the Earth's stratosphere.

The normally " dry " intake system of a diesel engine is now subject to fouling from soot, unburned fuel and oil in the EGR bleed, which has little effect on airflow but can cause problems with components such as swirl flaps, where fitted.

* " Painting " or dusting the object with titanium dioxide ( white ) or soot ( black ) to alter its trajectory via the Yarkovsky effect.

This soot may contain fullerenes which are noted for their extreme hardness — and small size and limited quantity which would tend to limit their effect.

The decision to spend large amounts of money on a building " when most of its architectural effect would be lost because ruined by soot and made nearly invisible by smoke " was criticised.

In considering BW defense, it must be recognized that a number of critical meterological parameters must be met for an aerosol to exhibit optimum effect.

Although aerosol particles are generally associated with a global cooling effect, recent studies have shown that they can actually have a warming effect in certain regions such as the Himalayas.

There is the possibility that BZ could be employed for a skin effect by adding to a skin penetrating solvent, or used for a secondary aerosol through contaminating terrain with bulk micro-pulverized BZ.

The primary route of exposure is through the creation of an aerosol effect, most commonly from evaporative cooling towers or showerheads.

MQL's aerosol is delivered in such a precisely targeted way ( with respect to both location and timing ) that the net effect seems almost like dry machining from the operators ' perspective.

A veil of aerosol caused this phenomenon, and the effect dramatically disappeared, when the sun rose high enough so that the pattern was not presented to the observer at the Earth's surface.

One of the approaches is using an aerosol of burning red phosphorus particles and aluminium coated glass fibers ; the infrared emissions of such smoke curtains hides the weaker emissions of colder objects behind it, but the effect is only short-lived.

Alternative routes of administration like suppository, intravenous, intramuscular, inhalational aerosol and sublingual avoid the first-pass effect because they allow drugs to be absorbed directly into the systemic circulation.

In addition to the downwelling radiation due to the greenhouse effect, the IPCC First Scientific Assessment Report listed solar radiation variability due to orbital changes, variability due to changes in solar irradiance, direct aerosol effects ( e. g., changes in albedo due to cloud cover ), indirect aerosol effects, and surface characteristics.

To avoid spotting, an alcohol vapor ( IPA ) or other organic compound in gas, vapor, or aerosol form is blown through a nozzle over the wet wafer surface ( or at the meniscus formed between the cleaning liquid and wafer as the wafer is lifted from an immersion bath ), and the subsequent Marangoni effect causes a surface-tension gradient in the liquid allowing gravity more easily to pull the liquid completely off the wafer surface, effectively leaving a dry wafer surface.

I believe that what I do has some effect on his actions and I have learned, in a way, to commune with drunks, but certainly my actions seem to resemble more nearly the performance of a rain dance than the carrying out of an experiment in physics.

And one finds it again in Thomas Nelson Page ) to the effect that the Mayflower on its second voyage brought a cargo of Negro slaves.

So we must first analyze our present institutions with respect to the effect of each on man's major needs.

The interesting thing about Mr. Lyford's approach, and the approach of the contributors to The Agreeable Autocracies ( Oceana Publications, 1961 ) to the situation of American civilization, is that it is concerned with comprehending the psychological relationships which are having a decisive effect on American life.

If `` Jack the Courtier '' is really to be taken as Swift, the following remark is obviously Steele's comment on Swift's change of parties and its effect on their friendship: `` I assure you, dear Jack, when I first found out such an Allay in you, as makes you of so malleable a Constitution, that you may be worked into any Form an Artificer pleases, I foresaw I should not enjoy your Favour much longer ''.

When he turns briefly to literary style, in the Third Book, he again looks to the effect on the audience.

He is, rather, concerned with the effect on society and he wants the poets to join his fight for justice.

This is not to deny the existence of pogroms and ghettos, but only to assert that these horrors have had an effect on the nerves of people who did not experience them, that among the various side effects is the local hysteria of Jewish writers and intellectuals who cry out from confusion, which they call oppression and pain.

But for those which do, the slow growth of the area has a retarding effect on the metropolitan core.

In this letter, Mr. Kennedy made it clear that he limited his comment only to one consideration -- what effect the legislative proposals might have on future anti-trust judgments.

The effect of radiation is cumulative over the years -- and on to succeeding generations.

A recent study on radiation exposure by the AEC's division of biology and medicine stated: `` The question of the biological effect of ( radiation ) doses is not considered '' herein.

One effect of the spirited give-and-take of these discussions was to focus attention on practical applications and the necessity of being armed with the facts: knowledge of the destructive force of even the tiniest `` tactical '' atomic weapon would have a bearing on judgments as to the advisability of its use -- to defend Berlin, for example ; ;

The effect of Chou En-lai's clash with Khrushchev, together with the everlasting attacks on Molotov & Co., has shifted the whole attention of the world, including that of the Soviet people, from the `` epoch-making '' twenty-year program to the present Soviet-Chinese conflict.

The air was cooler here, and the lacy pattern of the trees threw a dappled shadow on the grass, an effect which he found pleasant.

and that all this would have a serious adverse effect on the entire stock market and on general business activity.

The deposit of rupees to the account of the Government of the United States of America in payment for the commodities and for ocean transportation costs financed by the Government of the United States of America ( except excess costs resulting from the requirement that United States flag vessels be used ) shall be made at the rate of exchange for United States dollars generally applicable to import transactions ( excluding imports granted a preferential rate ) in effect on the dates of dollar disbursement by United States banks, or by the Government of the United States of America, as provided in the purchase authorizations.

This increase was sufficient to overcome the effect on net income of higher costs of manufacture and increased expenditures on research and development.
