"Such a major accident, how could it be attributed to weather and technical reasons?" blogged Cai Qi, a senior Zhejiang Province official.
He also wrote his "Message To The Public", primarily a defence of the expedition's organisation and conduct in which the party's failure is attributed to weather and other misfortunes, but ending on an inspirational note, with these words: Scott is presumed to have died on 29 March 1912, or possibly one day later.
The losses in CP under this study can be attributed to weathering, continued respiration of stored grasses, and microbial activity during storage which was observed by Rotz (2003).
The observed decline in CP with storage periods may be attributed to weathering, microbial, and fungal activities that resulted to fermentation of soluble carbohydrates and hence decline in CP levels in the process.
After accounting for the CF4 that could be attributed to weathering, the team found that water samples closer to the fault contained excess CF4 levels that were significantly higher than those from farther away.
High Na+ content may be attributed to weathering of silicate rocks containing sodium (e.g. feldspars) which was further enhanced by decreasing soil:water ratio due to high evaporative demand.
Maximum values are observed in PRM. Figure 4 shows that high concentration of F− are observed in both low and high pH conditions that may be attributed to weathering of biotite minerals from HBG.
Sediment supply from locally derived sources (or "base load") was high and reached 77% of total sediment yield for the study period, and was attributed to weathering of bed material or gullies.
The winter increase in cases has been attributed to cold weather, lower humidity, the crowding together of susceptible hosts, associated viral infections, and air pollution (1 – 3 ).
Since the system's installation more than two years ago, only one accident on the bridge has been attributed to the winter weather.
