### action | degradation:

Land degradation
* Some land degradations affect health
* Some land degradations have economic impact
  - severe economic impact
* broad term that can be applied differently across a wide range of scenarios.
* global problem largely related to agricultural use.
* is about people.
* lead to reductions.
* leads to a significant reduction of the productive capacity of land.
* major problem in rich countries as well as in poor ones.
* occurs because of repeated land use decisions under specific conditions.
* reduces land quality and has a major impact on biodiversity.
* takes many forms.
* threatens food security.

Protein degradation
* Most protein degradation involves the proteasome, which carries out selective protein degradation.
* Some protein degradation occurs in lysosomes.
* involves many different proteases, such as calpains and cathepsins.
* is an essential component of normal cellular homeostasis
  - important part of cell maintenance
* necessity but also a hazard.

Delivery
* Deliveries are acts
  - births
  - transportation
  - refer to the arrival dates and quantities discharged in recipient countries
  - result in performance
* involves the actual birth or expulsion of the fetus from the uterus.
* is the fetus become child
  - process by which the baby leaves the mother
* refers to how services are organized and provided.

### action | delivery:

Oxygen delivery
* depends on convective transport by the blood and diffusion within the tissue.
* function of cardiac output and the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.
* is determined by cardiac output and the oxygen content of arterial blood.

Preterm delivery
* major cause of death and illness in infants.
* places an infant at increased risk for severe complications or early death.

### action | delivery | relay:

Frame relay
* can be a very efficient means of moving data around a network.
* fast and effective method of transferring data between corporate networks.
* fast, inexpensive way to transmit data.
* high-speed data connection that can replace dedicated leased lines
  - transmission technology
* is an interface used for wide-area networking
  - based on packet-switching technology
  - one of the most important data service technologies used by corporations today
  - the most widely deployed data transmission method in the world
  - used by most state and local governments primarily to interconnect LANs
* modified form of packet switching service.
* packet-switching technology, which performs our data communications.
* reliable means of connecting remote locations to the headquarters office.
* uses switches where information is shared across a series of leased lines.

Transdermal delivery
* avoids the liver as well as the mouth.
* means absorbing through the skin.

Vaginal delivery
* alters the support in the vagina, especially the anterior wall.
* is almost always safe, even with abnormal tests
  - often possible, especially when the babies are in the head-down position
  - safer for the baby and for the mother

Demotion
* is an action
  - organisation
* occurs when an employee moves to a lower pay grade.

Desorption
* is an action
  - natural processes
  - the reverse of absorption , adsorption , or both
* measures a greater regain at a given relative humidity.
* simultaneously regenerates surfactants for reuse.
