These have been summarized and examined in A Treatise on Limnology, by the American limnologist G.E. Hutchinson, which includes treatment of tectonism, volcanism, landslides, glaciation, solution, river action, wind action, coastline building, organic accumulation, animal activity, meteoritic impact, and human activity.
Most carbonate rocks are formed by biological activity, developing from the biogenic sediments gathered during reef building and accumulation of the remains of organisms on the seabed.
Our approach of building species accumulation curves to investigate the potential influence of a specific factor and assessing differences to null models of more randomly assembled communities, provides a new way of teasing apart diversity relationships (Figs. 2 and 3).
We argue that these results are demonstrative of a number of biomechanical and morphological traits that contribute to the pervasiveness of the species, its management challenges, and its function as an ecosystem engineer, whereby it alters the physical structure of river channels by deflecting flow and building large sediment accumulations.
Her buildings are not accumulations of stacked planes, but rather non-repeating layers that respond to patterns of use.
After staying overnight, the party was driven from the building by an accumulation of material, presumably, tephra, which threatened to block all egress.
The mapping included streets, main buildings and water accumulations containing the vector mollusc, and the latter were subsequently classified as breeding sites or foci of schistosomiasis transmission.
His main goal in education, like that of most Herbartians, was to promote character building, not simply knowledge accumulation.
There was the big-push model, the dual-sector model, the critical minimum effort, the Fei-Ranis surplus-labor model, capital accumulation, capacity building and, widely adopted and then thoroughly repudiated, the Washington Consensus.
By volume, PVC is one the major thermoplastics used today and its employment in applications having relative long lifespans such as building and construction implies accumulation in anthropogenic reservoir as future sources of secondary material.
Four themes around IMCI in general emerged from an analysis of the qualitative data (Additional file 7): the current 11-day course is too expensive; advocacy around IMCI should be increased to increase its priority; introduce new content areas cautiously, but update course content regularly; pay more attention to skills building rather than knowledge accumulation.
