The globalization of production, moreover, has introduced more opacity into the process of garment assembly, often through a labyrinth of retailers, suppliers, contractors and subcontractors, and layers of deniability for all.
The grant negotiation process introduces much opacity into the data, obscuring linkages between proposals, budgets, and expenditures; activity-based financial data are not made available; and, there is often a lack of relevant performance indicators that can be linked to specific activities, further limiting meaningful analysis.
Opacity introduces friction because it erodes trust.
Progress in quantifying the relationship is hampered by the complexity of soil structure and the intrinsic opacity of soil that makes it difficult to introduce directly measurable parameters of soil structure.
The effect of opacity was obtained by introducing ZnO in quantities of 4 8 wt% to the sets of glazes.
The main contribution to the total error is the errors introduced by the uncertainties in the scaling factor and tropospheric opacity, followed by the spectral noise and atmospheric temperature errors.
Consequently, that opacity (that 'weakness') that divination should in principle eliminate was introduced into the world again even if with a different shape ([25] p. 36; [26] p. 23).
This paper introduces polarized film shading system (PFSS) – an alternative approach based on opto-mechanical modules whose opacity is a function of the rotation of polarized film elements.
He introduced (1857) iridectomy (surgical removal of part of the iris) for the alleviation of glaucoma, a disease resulting in opacity of the lens.
The opacity of these "other factors" aside, Facebook's sometimes disconcerting suggestions – perhaps more accurately titled "people you most definitely know, but have no intention of adding" – have been remarked upon since it introduced the feature in 2008.
