But the November wage came against a more pronounced backdrop pointing to a longer-term erosion of spending power for most American workers.
Some investors darkly recall the developing world's crisis-prone history and wonder whether the worst is yet to come.In this section Towards the endgame The great slowdown Rewards of the rings The empty Kremlin Out of shape ReprintsNo crisis looms, but serious concern is justified, for the emerging world faces two distinct risks: a cyclical slowdown and a longer-term erosion of potential growth.
Starting with arbitrary initial C pool in each patch above the bifurcation point, the model approached a quasi-steady state, which included both the short-term and longer term consequences of erosion; in the baseline simulation 5080 g C m−2 was stored prior to erosion and 100 years of low intensity erosion 4840 g C m−2 SOC remained.
These data were finally compared to extensive mapping of the thickness and the type of the soils in an attempt to validate these results and to evaluate the longer term consequences of erosion processes on soil distribution.
The tribe seeks a permanent freeze in the water level of Lake Oahe in order to prevent the exposing of any more graves and halt the constant rise and fall that over the longer term contributes to bank erosion.
A much bigger, longer term problem is the slow erosion of the underlying road structure, which has been repeatedly patched up, rather than completely re-laid.
The benefit in the short-term of an increase in water availability is likely to be outweighed by the medium-term loss of soil water storage capacity (in the unsaturated zone) due to the high erosion rate of exposed soil surface, and potential longer term loss of the entire soil profile.
Longer term crises, in contrast, cannot be planned for so easily because of the chronic erosion to the health system and the time taken to potentially restore services.
"Longer term, we continue to believe that JAVA's margins will be pressured due to expected erosion at the high end," he wrote in a research note before the Oracle deal was announced.
However, longer term followup has shown that adjustable gastric banding can result in complications of band slippage, erosion, or dilation of the gastric pouch or esophagus, as discussed earlier.
