CHAPTER 2. Ship Resistance. The theory of ship resistance has been elabo-. rated by naval architects as a means of predicting. ship performance from preliminary experiments. with models. A full discussion of this theory or of. the technique of testing the resistance of models. or of full-scale ships by trial runs is beyond the. scope of the present volume.
Chilling effect. In a legal context, a chilling effect is the inhibition or discouragement of the legitimate exercise of a constitutional right by the threat of legal sanction. The right that is most often described as being suppressed by a chilling effect is the right to free speech. A chilling effect may be caused by legal actions such as the passing of a law, the decision of a court, or the threat of a lawsuit; any legal action that would cause people to hesitate to exercise a legitimate right for fear of legal repercussions.
About Chilling Hours,Units & Portions Weather-Related Models > Chilling Accumulation Models Stone and pome fruit trees rely on enough chilling for flowers and leaf buds to develop normally. If the buds do not receive sufficient chilling temperatures during winter to completely release dormancy, trees may develop physiological symptoms such as delayed and extended bloom, delayed foliation, reduced fruit set and reduced fruit quality.
