[¶] Volcanogenic karst systems (VKS) are formed when a groundwater system in soluble rock interacts with volcanic activity in the subsurface.

examples: text: With respect to future work, the chapter identifies a number of major challenges for the designers and adopters of VKSs.

These findings can serve as an incentive for improving VKSs, as well as for the future research in their adoption and use.

examples: text: The VKS can be used with either a magazine holding 10–15 projectiles or a hopper holding 180 projectiles. It has a maximum range of 150 feet and can fire 20 plus projectiles per second. The VKS can fire a variety of Pepperball projectiles, including Live X rounds holding 2.5g of 5% PAVA powder—the “most potent and powerful concentration”—equivalent to the agent contained in 10 regular Pepperball PAVA rounds. Given the maximum range, rate of fire and PAVA amounts/concentrations of projectiles, soldiers employing the VKS are capable of rapidly blanketing wide areas with irritant, effecting^([sic]) significant numbers of people, which in certain proposed missions would be of potential concern.
