In Aneyoshi, the tsunami stone states that "high dwellings ensure the peace and happiness of our descendants".
I scoffed then and I scoff now: being the highest dwelling between London and Russia's Ural mountains, 2,000 miles to the east, may be something with which to amuse one's guests, but it does not get over the basic problem.
In the same area, Jerrett et al. (2001) observed that TSP levels were higher in census tracts with higher dwelling values and lower income.
Neighborhood-level deprivation was moderately correlated with these three variables as well; for example, more deprived neighborhoods tended to have higher dwelling density, density of neighborhood destinations (i.e., NDAI), and street connectivity.
Meier explores the cruel physical and atmospheric contrasts between the two worlds, high and low, dwelling on the cloudy skies, grimy slush and the shadow cast by the peaks, which brings semi-darkness to the valley bottom.
The findings of the study show that the risk of cholera infection is high amongst inhabitants dwelling in slums.
In this line, recent works have proposed indicators to describe community changes associated with climate warming, reflecting a generalized trend towards a higher representativeness of high-temperature dwelling species [9].
An additional goal of this study was to analyse transcriptomic data for ranid species dwelling at high and low altitudes [ 22], and to determine whether the evolutionary adaptations to life at high altitude in these cold-blooded organisms were functionally convergent with those seen in the sand lizards.
In addition to needing an increased capacity for oxygen uptake and transport, and a reduced metabolic rate with increased mitochondrial efficiency, high altitude dwelling organisms must cope with higher levels of UV radiation than their lowland counterparts.
Thus, GO categories associated with the functions response to hypoxia, energy metabolism, and response to UV damage were all found to exhibit accelerated divergence in the high altitude dwelling R. chensinensis.
