The temptation is to interpret these as indicating different intrinsic rates, or perhaps different external pressures, for sound change, but large differences in the numbers of regular changes can arise among languages simply as a result of random fluctuations and shared phylogenetic histories.
A comparison of the MODIS LAI product with spatially averaged Le estimates from our model showed general agreement in forested areas, but large differences in developed areas.
but large differences in the periphery (i.e. astigmatism at 40° in the temporal visual field: humans −4.21D, chicks −0.63D, p < 0.001, unpaired t-test).
Sheep farming systems (SFSs) in Spain are generally considered to be pasture-based and extensive, but large differences in input utilization, land use and intensification level exist.
Preliminary meanline analysis lead to the generation of turbine designs for the various cycles with similar efficiencies (77%) but large differences in dimensions (139 289 mm rotor diameter).
We observed "rough" seasonal patterns but large differences in the time span of three successive medusa-seasons in Mejillones Bay, (five months, November March in 2010/11; nine months, November-July in 2011/12 and four months, October-January in 2012/13).
Results suggest that small differences in widths have negligible effects on forest composition, but large differences in widths may cause statistically-significant changes in the relative importance of some species.
All models participating in PILPS Phase 2 e) capture the broad dynamics of snowmelt and runoff, but large differences in snow accumulation and ablation, turbulent heat fluxes, and streamflow exist.
While some products (antimicrobial soaps, surface disinfectants, instrument disinfectants, wound antiseptics) may contain one or more biocidal agents with a comparable antimicrobial efficacy but large differences in their potential for microbial adaptation and tolerance.
