Instead, many people rely on kerosene space heaters to keep warm, as well as something called a kotatsu a low wooden table outfitted with a heavy blanket, and warmed by a heater underneath.

Another, far less common, type of MEMS based accelerometer contains a small heater at the bottom of a very small dome, which heats the air inside the dome to cause it to rise.

A side reaction of this catalytic cycle led to the production of a small amount of an organic mercury compound, namely methylmercury.

The composition of the subunits is C6R6, forming 2 trimers of catalytic subunits (34 kDa) and 3 dimers of regulatory subunits (17 kDa).

Such appointments could play a major catalytic role in more strongly involving women in peace processes, especially when they reach more formal stages.

The catalytic ingredient to transform all those challenges from threats into opportunities lies in the readiness to take collective action across the board.

It will also play a catalytic and preparatory role in leveraging domestic investment for slum upgrading and other pro poor human settlements development.

And, while technological innovations like scrubbers on smokestacks and catalytic converters on cars have reduced local air pollution substantially, the problem of CO₂ emissions remains.

It should become a catalytic lender whose participation in eurozone programs remains desirable but not indispensable giving it the possibility to disagree and walk away.

UNHCR should continue to play its catalytic role in encouraging the international community to increase its assistance to developing countries receiving large inflows of refugees.

In particular, the catalytic choices for ten sectors from agriculture, fisheries, and forests to transport and buildings are as relevant to developing as they are to developed countries.

The technologies that can really make a difference quickly and at lower cost are scrubbers that clean smokestack emissions, catalytic converters that reduce tailpipe emissions, and many others.

This is particularly the case with the subregional action programmes and the TPNs, many of which have been launched and need continued catalytic support to become fully functional.

By its presence, the peace support operation would also play a major catalytic role in establishing and maintaining the security conditions necessary for the reintegration and recovery processes.
