The NYPD argued that acknowledging the existence of the records could "cause substantial harm to the integrity and efficiency of the NYPD's investigations of terrorist activities and could endanger the safety of people working undercover, or who otherwise provide information to the NYPD".
The department, long notorious for stonewalling records requests, stalled for about a year, but then something bizarre happened: The cops argued they did not have to tell Hashmi and Abdur-Rashid whether the records they sought even existed, and that merely acknowledging the records might "cause substantial harm to the integrity and efficiency of the NYPD's investigations of terrorist activities".
New and exciting enzyme applications are likely to bring benefits in other areas like less harm to the environment, greater efficiency, lower cost, lower energy consumption, and the enhancement of a product properties.
Waste management targets were developed to minimise waste volumes and the risks of causing harm to the environment and maximise operational efficiency and environmental performance.
Increased productivity of cultivated land, reduced costs of production and higher input use efficiency with no harm to the soil, ground water, environment and product quality are the current development strategies of vegetable production (Singh et al. 2010).
Devices that generate plasma inside the root canal of a tooth give better killing efficiency against bacteria without causing any harm to the surrounding tissues.
Green engineering is the design of products and processes that maximise resource and energy efficiency, minimise waste and cause reduced harm to the environment.
By comparing gold nanoshells of different dielectric fillings, we found that hollow nanoshells of low absorption efficiency are preferable over the strongly absorbing ones, as they cause less harm to the neighboring healthy tissue.
The harm to the state is theoretical".
However, porosities can do harm to the persistent corrosion resistance of coatings.
