At any time an individual can be classified as one of three categories: (X t)) denotes those individuals who are ignorant of the rumor; (Y t)) denotes those individuals who are actively spreading the rumor; and (Z(t)) denotes those individuals who know the rumor but have ceased spreading it.
It is possible to take over too much of a host's or a lover's life, at which point he or she might (in the case of a parasite) die and cease to spread the bug or (in the case of a lover) feel suffocated and run.
In a wildfire, heat penetrates ahead of the oxidation reaction, and a layer of charcoal therefore remains at the edge of the burned area when it ceases to spread.
Less than 30 million years ago, seafloor spreading ceased in the Labrador Sea.
At almost the same time that back-arc spreading ceased (about 15 Ma), the IBA started to collide against the Honshu arc due to the northwestward movement of the PHS plate and back-arc opening of the Sea of Japan (Takahashi and Saito 1997).
It appears that the spreading ceased progressively from southeast to northwest along the CBF rift; at 15° N, 133° E, the cessation occurred at approximately 37.5 Ma (line MR02-K04), atd approximatelyely 35.5 Ma at 16.5° N, 130° E (line MR06-05) (Figure 3).
As news of the government cease-fire spread over the weekend, there were indications that many of the displaced in the camps would return home.
In 1981 the Wildlife and Countryside Act made it an offence to plant giant hogweed, but this does not seem to have ceased its spread: it remains a common plant throughout the UK, especially along waterways.
Conflict is like a terrible fire that ceases and flares, spreading through communities and across borders, making it very difficult to calculate the numbers of children affected or associated with armed forces and armed groups.
'Silent' means that spontaneous activity had already ceased before the onset of spreading depolarization.
