Suspended load refers to that part of the total sediment transport which is maintained in suspension by turbulence in the flowing water for considerable periods of time without contact with the stream bed. It moves with practically the same velocity as that of the flowing water. (http://www.coastalwiki.org/wiki/Suspended_load)
Pear juice is the unfermented but fermentable liquid obtained from the edible part of sound, appropriately mature and fresh pears or of pears maintained in sound condition by suitable means including post harvest surface treatments.

Catch per unit effort (CPUE) standardization is the process of removing other factors that may influence CPUE. The most common method for CPUE standardization is the application of generalized linear models. (Adapted from: Methods for standardizing CPUE and how to select among them.

Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool, causing fusion. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welding)
Betacoronaviruses are one of four genera of coronaviruses of the subfamily Coronavirinae in the family Coronaviridae, of the order Nidovirales. They are enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses of zoonotic origin. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betacoronavirus)

The number of functionally different organisms in an ecosystem (also referred to as functional types and functional groups). (IPCC - Climate Change 2001 - WG II Report)
Note
Functional diversity does not necessarily concern itself with the number of species, but rather the diversity of functions.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4, with some mixture of ethane, C2H6) that has been cooled down to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_natural_gas)
