"Houston's problem," Grunwald writes, "was runaway development in flood-prone areas, accelerated by heavily subsidized federal flood insurance". The development piece is equally implicated, as the city recklessly paved over its natural water-absorptive capacity ("anything goes" zoning is also implicated).
Due to their widespread, easy manipulation, and low side effects, direct contact wound absorptive natural-based plasters are preferred for wound dressing.
One consistent characteristic of RCA however, is a higher absorptive capacity when compared with natural aggregate (NA).
This is of great interest because enrichment with these heterocyclic N structures influences the electrochemical properties, absorptive capacity, and environmental persistence of both natural and industrial pyrogenic C materials16,22,23,24,25,26,27.
The mussel meal, which is derived from molluscs, could mimic the characteristics of the sole's natural prey, being readily digestible, even without increasing the absorptive surface of intestinal mucosa.
Cleaving an apple open obliterates its natural safeguard against contamination -- its skin -- and exposes the moist, absorptive surfaces inside.
Such a smooth but radar-absorptive surface could indicate a mix of liquid methane (natural gas on Earth), ethane, and nitrogen, the major component of Titan's thick atmosphere.
The "absorptive capacity" of large tumours for circulating sensitized lymphocytes is greater than can be provided by natural immunization produced by the tumour.
The Absorptive Glands of Carnivorous Plants.
Increased absorptive capacity of low complexity municipalities.
