While similar rates were observed by age for triggering the Sleep Disturbance CAP at level one (moderate potential to improve), 25.1% of younger persons (aged 18 44) reported triggering the Sleep Disturbance CAP at level two (high potential to improve) double that reported by the oldest old (12.4%).
Broadly speaking, adaptive capacity denotes the ability of a system to adjust, modify, or change its characteristics or actions to moderate potential damage, take advantage of opportunities, or cope with the consequences of shock or stress (24).
The groundwater potential map revealed that the upper north-western and the extreme eastern parts of the study area generally have low to moderate potentials with area coverage of about 83 %, while the southern portion generally exhibits high potentials representing about 17%% of the study area.
The third component, adaptive capacity, is the ability of a system to adjust to a climate event, to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequence.
The ability of a system to adjust toclimate change includingclimate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences.
Four of these were considered to have moderate potential (i.e. a score of 3 or higher).
The electrocrystallization process of the moderate potential (− 1.8 V) was addressed.
A concept related to adaptation is "adaptive capacity", which is the ability of a system (human, natural or managed) to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with consequences.
The research defined 'adaptive capacity' as the ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes), to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences [ 17].
However, the most recent definition adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is 'the ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences' (19, 20).
The average values of PI and LL of the studied materials might be suggestive of low to moderate expansion potential of the clay, thereby agreeing to the tailing dumps vulnerability to landslides [47].
