Police intercepted a boat carrying over a million packs of cigarettes into the country illegally.

Efficiency was therefore conserved, to a degree, while canopies reduced the solar energy they intercepted.
Effect sizes can be estimated based on the estimated standard deviations of the trajectory intercepts.
The intercepts and regression coefficients of the best-fitting model were recorded.
Nearly twice as many pest insects are intercepted on bonsai trees as on timber.
Rain or snow can be intercepted by the vegetation and re-evaporated.
We found that the intercepts were highly correlated to annual rainfall.
Although no intercepts appear in any of these expressions, the analysis is invariant to reinterpreting the variables as deviations from target values.
The remaining light fog events were completely intercepted by the tree foliage before the water could reach the ground.
