Dwindling plotlines make crucial characters more impervious to death than they've ever been.

"More development creates more impervious surfaces and destroys floodplains and wetlands," he added.

Or perhaps like ice wights with the cold, fire wights could prove more impervious to fire.

Simultaneously, there is another physiological reaction called an analgesic response, which makes the body more impervious to pain.

The more different she is from her husband, the more divided they seem, the more impervious she is to criticism.

Instead, shares of technology and healthcare companies, whose profits are more impervious to economic down cycles, have led 2017's rally.

Tech needs to do a lot of things better, but one of those things is making encryption more impervious to the FBI.

"When you have a less dense urban fabric, you're going to have more impervious surface and you're going to have more runoff," Stiftel said.

With tensions rising among foreign powers, Syria's intractable war will become even more impervious to peace, and its civilians will continue to bear the brunt.

With the growing possibility of clashes between America and Turkey, and even America and Russia, Syria's intractable war looked ever more impervious to peace. 3.

Urban environments (which the researchers defined as environments with more impervious surfaces) seemed to be associated with higher cholesterol levels, as well as decreased survival.

While the opportunity for success may be slim, failing to reverse rising tensions now risks a serious escalation in frictions that would be more impervious to diplomacy down the road.

Trump converted his poll numbers to a 10-point primary victory, suggesting that he may be even more impervious to damaging his own fortunes than the Teflon president himself, Ronald Reagan.

"Where do you think drug smugglers and illegal immigrants will go next if you make the land border more impervious?" said David Heyman, who was assistant Homeland Security secretary for policy from 2009 to 2014.

Curved display corners are sometimes made by covering up cut-off corners like what Sharp has made — that's exactly what LG does with the G6, supposedly to make the display more impervious to cracking during a drop.

In all probability, it will get better not because we develop more effective deterrents (although threats of cyberretaliation and imposition of other burdens clearly do play a key role here, at least with other nation-states) but because we develop greater resilience and more impervious defenses — and the full realization of that may be a decade away.

In wet weather, these cartridges were easily damaged. The copper cartridges used by Henry, Wesson, Ballard and others tolerated moisture better, and were more impervious to wet conditions.

Dispersants are used as plasticizers or superplasticizers in concrete formulations to lower the use of water while retaining the needed slump (flow) property. A lower water contents makes the concrete stronger and more impervious to water penetration.Superplasticizers . Fhwa.dot.gov. Retrieved on 2010-10-27.

This process targets impervious city surfaces such as streets and the roofs of buildings. The increased land development leads to more impervious surfaces and causes an increase in stormwater runoff and consequently combined sewer overflows. CSOs endanger the quality of Philadelphia's watersheds because they result in the pollution of rivers and streams.

The ground water travels down from west to east feeding area wells throughout the region. Subdivision developments in the west end would create more impervious surfaces in the vicinity of the recharge area. Instead of allowing the water to refill the source, the run off will be diverted to sewage systems instead. This will mean a permanent decrease in the volume of water entering area wells.

American studies and film professor, Bob Porfirio discussed the treatment of women found in film noir and novels: > When Ladd rips a pendant from her neck or slaps her around, it makes him > appear all the more impervious to women. Their interaction holds this film > together and demonstrates the misogynistic strain of hard-boiled fiction; it > is as strain implicit in much of post-war American society as well.Silver > and Ward, eds. 1992, p. 48.

Chains vary widely in their security level. If the chain is bought from a hardware store, it is most likely made from basic iron or steel and can easily be cut with a relatively inexpensive pair of bolt cutters. Chains specifically designed for bike security are often case hardened and may feature Hexagonal or Trapezoidal link surfaces more impervious to hand tools. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, which may be the lock itself.

Research has shown that low-density development can exacerbate non-point source pollutant loadings by consuming absorbent open space and increasing impervious surface area relative to compact development. While increasing densities regionally can better protect water resources at a regional level, higher-density development can create more impervious cover, which increases water quality problems in nearby or adjacent water bodies. Increasing neighborhood population density also supports improved public transit service. Concentrating development density in and around transit stops and corridors maximizes people's willingness to walk and thus reduces car ownership and use.

Galton was a favourite Nightingale collaborator. She routinely sent him plans of hospitals and nurses' homes she had been asked to criticize, and he deferred to her utterly on nursing matters, to facilitate more efficient nursing and better conditions for nurses. They were both committed to the then new "pavilion" mode of construction, which made Britain a world leader in hospital safety. She stressed the importance of the materials for hospital walls, floors, sinks, appliances and finishes to make them more impervious to disease, and he obliged by searching out the best examples to recommend.

All these examinations concluded that the Enigma would defeat enemy cryptanalysts. Throughout these investigations, German cryptologists seem to have never realised the true reduction of Enigma's probability space under real conditions, particularly those reductions arising from operational procedures and human error. German cryptanalysts had no luck solving Allied high-grade ciphers and this lack of success only reinforced their believe in Enigma strength and vice versa. As Enigma had proved unbreakable, the Typex would proved even more impervious to attack, and hence the Army did not expend much effort on attacking the device.

Precipitation washing contaminates into local streams Urban surface water runoff Urbanization increases surface runoff by creating more impervious surfaces such as pavement and buildings that do not allow percolation of the water down through the soil to the aquifer. It is instead forced directly into streams or storm water runoff drains, where erosion and siltation can be major problems, even when flooding is not. Increased runoff reduces groundwater recharge, thus lowering the water table and making droughts worse, especially for agricultural farmers and others who depend on the water wells. When anthropogenic contaminants are dissolved or suspended in runoff, the human impact is expanded to create water pollution.
