Since groundwater quality is inextricably linked to the topography that it underlies, which is mostly vulnerable to anthropogenic activities (Moody 1996), the end point of such activities could lead to the storage of pollutants in the unsaturated zone and further transmission into available groundwater over a period of time.
Being mostly vulnerable and relatively uninformed, Haitians are easy targets; even when they work legally, their wages are too low to give them any viable financial security.
Involvement of the peroneal nerve is invariably detected in patients with CIP or CIM, possibly because it is the longest nerve of the body and, hence, it is mostly vulnerable to the energy deficit caused by tissue ischemia or dysoxia.
The human souls who inhabit her universe are mostly isolated, vulnerable and alone.
Individuals in residential care are mostly older, vulnerable and in need of both assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) and sheltered living because of their physical and cognitive impairments.
Therefore, the side-chains of amino acids such as Lys, Cys, Thr and Ser are mostly exposed and vulnerable to chemical modification.
Priority ecoregions with conservation status defined as "critical/endangered" harbor the majority of threatened Neotropical anurans; however, threatened species which are endemic to a given ecoregion are mostly found in "vulnerable" ecoregions (Figure 3A, Table S1).
Family Group Conferences are implemented in different care systems, but are mostly directed towards vulnerable families with histories of parenting problems, neglect and even abuse.
Insects and arthropods (things like millipedes, which most of us group with insects under the generic title "bug") are mostly small and appear highly vulnerable to a wide range of predators: birds, fish, reptiles, small mammals, even some plants, let alone carnivorous species of their own kind.
