GC: n CT: Abduction or, as it is also often called, Inference to the Best Explanation is a type of inference that assigns special status to explanatory considerations. Most philosophers agree that this type of inference is frequently employed, in some form or other, both in everyday and in scientific

GC: n CT: Where forest cover is present, it alters snow accumulation and ablation processes, mostly by intercepting snowfall and modifying the surface micrometeorology (incoming radiation and wind speed), respectively. S: WATER – http://www.colorado.edu/geography/geomorph/geog_5241_f10/andreadis_09.pdf (last access: 11 July 2014) N: 1. Early 15th century, from Latin ablationem (nominative ablatio), “a

GC: n CT: An expression for the thermal efficiency of a surface used as a receiver for spacecraft solar-power generation is derived in terms of the solar absorptance, hemispherical emittance, and concentration ratio. Experimental equipment is described in which direct measurements may be made up to 1000°C by using a

GC: n CT: Teton Dam, a 305-foot high earthfill dam across the Teton River in Madison County, southeast Idaho, failed completely and released the contents of its reservoir at 11:57 AM on June 5, 1976. Failure was initiated by a large leak near the right (northwest) abutment of the dam,

GC: n CT: The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of reductive acetogenesis as an alternative H2 disposal mechanism in the rumen. H2/CO2-supported acetogenic ruminal bacteria were enumerated by using a selective inhibitor of methanogenesis, 2-bromoethanesulfonic acid (BES). Acetogenic bacteria ranged in density from 2.5 × 105

GC: n CT: The effects of acid rain, combined with other environmental stressors, leave trees and plants less able to withstand cold temperatures, insects, and disease. The pollutants may also inhibit trees’ ability to reproduce. Some soils are better able to neutralize acids than others. In areas where the soil’s

GC: n CT: Role of anaerobic spore-forming bacteria in the acidogenesis of glucose: changes induced by discontinuous or low-rate feed supply.A mineral salts medium containing 1% (w/v) glucose providing carbon-limited growth conditions was subjected to anaerobic acidogenesis by mixed populations of bacteria in chemostat cultures. The formation of butyrate was

GC: n CT: The acoustical environment of a workspace is typically given little or no attention during project planning and design. The functionality and aesthetics of the workspace are usually the primary focus of the designer. Too often overlooked, are the factors contributing to the productivity of employees occupying the

GC: n CT: The bucket target system is hydraulically actuated and uses bucket-type doors to reserve the hot gas stream. The thrust reverser doors are actuated by means of a conventional pushrod system. A single hydraulic actuator is connected to a drive idler, actuating the doors through a pair of

GC: adj CT: The objective of the communication is to show the possibilities for an aeolian generator when (it is) generating energy. One option is (will be) injecting the energy directly to the network and the other one is to produce hydrogen to store the energy. After that this hydrogen

CG: n CT: This theory throws a light on the tremendous potential of both these energies when utilized in combination known as “AEROTHERMAL ENERGY”. This energy can produce a greater amount of power with minimum input. This energy also has the potential to produce power even in the absence of

GC: n CT: Afforestation and reforestation both refer to establishment of trees on non-treed land. Reforestation refers to establishment of forest on land that had recent tree cover, whereas afforestation refers to land that has been without forest for much longer. A variety of definitions differentiate between these two processes.

GC: n CT: The development of agro-energy in recent years has been one of rapid growth in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. However, it may be at the price of unsustainable plantations for bioethanol and biodiesel. Rather than using non-food agricultural products, first generation biofuels are made from crops that

GC: n CT: An advanced aileron configuration for wind turbine rotors featuring an independent, lift generating aileron connected to the rotor blade. The aileron has an airfoil profile which is inverted relative to the airfoil profile of the main section of the rotor blade. The inverted airfoil profile of the

GC: n CT: The development of renewable energy is on the rise worldwide because of the growing demand on energy, high oil prices, and concerns of environmental impacts. In recent years, progress on solar-powered air conditioning has increased as nowadays, air conditioning system is almost a must in every building

GC: n CT: Air pollution is the contamination of the indoor or outdoor air by a range of gasses and solids that modify its natural characteristics. Key health harmful pollutants include particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) 1 , carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), black carbon (BC), sulfur dioxide and nitrogen

GC:n. CT: High-capacity, single-chamber air valve with triple function for venting and releasing air in pipelines as well as for releasing air during operation. Corrosion-proof due to stainless steel inner parts (in size DN 50, inner parts made of plastic). Safe and reliable operation even at high air-release velocities of

GC: n CT: Air-gap or axial-flux generators are a popular generator design for small wind turbines in Britain. Both Marlec and Proven use this strategy by arraying the magnets and stator coils axially rather than in the more common radial pattern. In Marlec’s 1700 and Proven’s 2.5 kW model, the

GC: n CT: Albedo is a non-dimensional, unitless quantity that indicates how well a surface reflects solar energy. Albedo (α) varies between 0 and 1. Albedo commonly refers to the “whiteness” of a surface, with 0 meaning black and 1 meaning white. A value of 0 means the surface is

GC: n CT: Alignment is the arrangement of correct matches between the source and the target language in parallel. The source and target files are compared and a high quality translation segment is created. An alignment tool is software that can automatically create a document, known as a bitext, with
