Notwithstanding the potential limitations of some empirical data in constraining vulnerability functions, efforts are required to improve our estimates of building damage under ash fall loading through the collection of damage data, experimental testing and perhaps theoretical failure analysis.
Constrained by their own vulnerability, Messrs Karroubi and Mousavi have been unable to project a convincing programme, far less the wide-ranging constitutional changes their supporters seem to want.
In contrast, methods employing human-made communities performed better in their early stages, but were constrained by higher costs and vulnerability to degradation and erosion.
The ability of many farmers to take advantage of such innovations, however, is constrained by the underlying landscape of vulnerability within the region.
Process-based models are not commonly used to assess vulnerability because they are constrained by data shortage, computational difficulty, and the expertise required to implement them.
Process-based methods and statistical methods are not commonly used for vulnerability assessment because they are constrained by data shortage, computational difficulty, and the expertise required for implementing them.
Aerobic culture is a promising water-saving technology in irrigated rice ecosystems, but the vulnerability of plants to fluctuations in soil moisture constrains leaf expansion and yield.
The nursing literature, particularly in North America, is constrained, failing to examine the political and ideological underpinnings of vulnerability.
