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.
The effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions include global warming, ocean acidification, smog pollution, ozone depletion and altered plant health, all contributing to global climate change. The main effect of increased greenhouse gas emissions is global warming. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases all help trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere as a part of the greenhouse effect. The Earth's natural greenhouse effect makes life as we know it possible. However, human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have intensified the greenhouse effect, causing global warming.1. Effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions. Increases in the different greenhouse gases have other effects apart from global warming including ocean acidification, smog pollution, ozone depletion as well as changes to plant growth and nutrition levels.
