Because of the seasonal overflow of the numerous westward-flowing streams, the lowland areas of the Paraneña region also experience poor drainage conditions, particularly in the Ñeembucú Plain in the southwest, where an almost impervious clay subsurface prevents the absorption of excess surface water into the aquifer.

In 1896, theologian J. H. Worman identified seven categories of pantheism: Mechanical or materialistic ( God the mechanical unity of existence ); Ontological ( abstract unity, Spinoza ); Dynamic ; Psychical ( God is the soul of the world ); Ethical ( God is the universal moral order, Johann Gottlieb Fichte ); Logical ( Hegel ); and Pure ( absorption of God into nature, which Worman equates with atheism ).

When the primary electron beam interacts with the sample, the electrons lose energy by repeated random scattering and absorption within a teardrop-shaped volume of the specimen known as the interaction volume, which extends from less than 100 nm to around 5 µm into the surface.

Such a transition to the higher state is called absorption, and it destroys an incident photon ( the photon's energy goes into powering the increased energy of the higher state ).

Light from the star is analyzed by splitting it up by a diffraction grating, subdividing the incoming photons into a spectrum exhibiting a rainbow of colors interspersed by absorption lines, each line indicating a certain ion of a certain chemical element.

In recent years, the expansion of the southern suburbs of Washington, D. C. into Northern Virginia has introduced an urban heat island primarily caused by increased absorption of solar radiation in more densely populated areas.

A small amount of grain alcohol ( traditionally, Spiritus ) is added to the dough before cooking ; as it evaporates, it prevents the absorption of oil deep into the dough.

Meanwhile, Trevize is made to decide between three alternatives for the future of the human race: the First Foundation's mastery of the physical world and its traditional political organization ( i. e., empire ), the Second Foundation's mentalics ( and probable rule by mind control ), or Gaia's absorption of the entire Galaxy into one shared, harmonious intellect.

He also oversaw the absorption of vast numbers of Jews from all over the world.

The story attracted the attention of Heidegger, who observed, " The double sense of cura refers to care for something as concern, absorption in the world, but also care in the sense of devotion.

Skeptics of New World Order conspiracy theories accuse its proponents of indulging in the furtive fallacy, a belief that significant facts of history are necessarily sinister ; conspiracism, a world view that centrally places conspiracy theories in the unfolding of history, rather than social and economic forces ; and fusion paranoia, a promiscuous absorption of fears from any source whatsoever.

The first section recounts Captain van Toch's discovery of the Newts on a small island near Sumatra, their initial exploitation in the service of pearl farming, the beginning of their spread around the oceans of the world, and the development of their speech and absorption of human culture.

Analogous transformations known to exist in the real world are redox chemistry, which can manipulate the oxidation states of atoms ; excitation of electrons to metastable excited states as with lasers and some forms of saturable absorption ; and the manipulation of the states of excited electrons in Rydberg atoms to encode information.

The theme of Brenton's 1985 political comedy Pravda, a collaboration with David Hare who also directed, was described by Michael Billington in The Guardian 3 May 1985 as " the rapacious absorption of chunks of the British press by a tough South African entrepreneur, Lambert Le Roux .... superbly embodied by Anthony Hopkins who utters every sentence with precise Afrikaans over-articulation as if the rest of the world are idiots.
