The aim of the experiments was to make the distant consequences of damaging consumption much more real.
Before the shuttle Columbia disintegrated, e-mail messages by Mr. Daugherty and others discussed the possible consequences of damage to its left wing.
For a rover plonked onto a distant planet or a search-and-rescue robot sent into perilous surroundings, the consequences of damage can be more dire.
Classroom instruction will include information about the biological components of soil crusts, their ecological roles, the nature and dynamics of their interactions with vascular plant communities, the ecological consequences of damaging soil crust communities, and their potential for reclamation.
Rating these factors of likelihood and consequences of damage allows a cleaning risk matrix to be proposed for the evaluation of the risk levels implicated by different cleaning methods.
Performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) assessment studies on highway bridges can only address post-earthquake repair fully when considering the response of the bridge-foundation-ground and the consequences of damage and repair to all system components.
Variation in the environment is common within and between natural populations and may influence selection on plant resistance by altering the level of damage or the fitness consequences of damage from plant enemies.
While much is known about how environmental variation influences the amount of damage a plant experiences, few studies have attempted to determine how variation in the environment may alter the fitness consequences of damage, particularly in plant-pathogen interactions.
The strongest clues to the function of the cerebellum have come from examining the consequences of damage to it.
