Uganda has four traditional kingdoms with clearly defined boundaries.
Research councils, while favouring interdisciplinary research when it enables them to distribute shared funding, are still subject to clearly defined boundaries between disciplines.
There is an internationally recognised state of Israel with clearly defined boundaries (the Green Line of 1967, itself the result of the enlargement following the 1948 war) and then there is the "Land of Israel" whose boundaries depend on who is talking: for some, it includes the whole of the West Bank, for others it extends to Jordan.
The fact that networks dissolve clearly defined boundaries could be deemed problematic in other ways as well.
Nonetheless, considering the highly interdisciplinary nature of DNA nanotechnology, many works in the field do not fall within clearly defined boundaries.
These design principles need to guarantee that services are self-contained and come equipped with clearly defined boundaries and interfaces to allow for service composability.
Thus the laws of physics rule out fractional nuclear charge, with the consequence that the chemical elements are kinds that have clearly defined boundaries and nuclear charge is a necessary and sufficient condition of kind membership.
The results show that the method can obtain good solutions to well-known problems with smooth, clearly defined boundaries and that this can be achieved using significantly fewer design variables compared with element-based methods.
The eight design principles are "(1) clearly defined boundaries", "(2) proportional equivalence between benefits and costs", "(3) collective-choice arrangements", "(4) monitoring", "(5) graduated sanctions", "(6) conflict resolution mechanism", "(7) minimal recognition of rights to organize", and "(8) nested enterprises".
Following a project approach (compared to national level measures like inventories), simplifies quantification and monitoring efforts because of the clearly defined boundaries for project activities, the relative ease of stratification of the project area, and the choice of carbon pools to measure [6].
Hawaii is not the smallest state, but it certainly has the most clearly defined boundaries.
