Antecedent rainfall and saturated hillslope material are also important for triggering landslides, but antecedent rainfall is less important in triggering debris flows from river bed material.
A potentially even more illuminating comparison emerges from the perspective of Aristotle's theory of the four causes, where the laws are the material cause, the antecedent conditions the efficient cause, the logical relation between the explanans and the explanandum the formal cause and the explanandum the final cause (Fetzer 2000a, 113 114).
Crude and adjusted regression coefficients were similar after adjusting for grilled and smoked food ingestion, which is considered an antecedent of PAHs [see Supplemental Material, Table 3 (doi:10.1289/ehp.1002340)].
Unlike its antecedent, open courseware — usually written materials or videotapes of lectures that make you feel as if you're spying on a class from the back of the room — the MOOC is a full course made with you in mind.
Although the CF combination is a non-canonical sentence type in Chinese counterfactuality, to compromise with the experimental 2 × 2 design of clause types (factual, counterfactual) and clause positions (antecedent, consequent), CF sentence experimental materials are included.
MP is just Modus Ponens, telling us that if a material conditional and its antecedent are theorems, then so is the consequent.
OB-K, which is the K axiom present in all normal modal logics, tells us that if a material conditional is obligatory, and its antecedent is obligatory, then so is its consequent.[13] OB-D tells us that p is obligatory only if its negation isn't.
Stream turbidity typically increases during streamflow events; however, similar event hydrographs can produce markedly different event turbidity behaviors because many factors influence turbidity in addition to streamflow, including antecedent moisture conditions, season, and supply of turbidity-causing materials.
The symbol "⊃" is known as the (material) implication sign, the first argument as the antecedent, and the second as the consequent; q ⊃ p is known as the converse of p ⊃ q.
In this case, abundant antecedent rainfall is not a requirement because debris flows can be triggered by riverbed material saturated with surface water (Berti et al. 1999; Coe et al. 2008), not necessarily hillslope material saturated with underground soil water.
