At the peak of the cleanup effort, forty-seven thousand people were fighting the oil, a community equivalent in size to Annapolis, or the workforce of G.M. as one federal scientist called it, "a company built in the middle of the night".

A so-called whale fall of a 40-ton gray whale provides a boost of carbon to the seafloor community equivalent to more than 2000 years of normal detritus and nutrient cycling.
The use of the name "Covent"—an Anglo-French term for a religious community, equivalent to "monastery" or "convent" —appears in a document in 1515, when the Abbey, which had been letting out parcels of land along the north side of the Strand for inns and market gardens, granted a lease of the walled garden, referring to it as "a garden called Covent Garden".
A total of 43 hospitals participated – 24 acute and 19 community – equivalent to nearly two thirds (62%) of those invited.
CHEWs would operate from previously dysfunctional health posts in the community (equivalent to the CHPS compounds in northern Ghana).
However, using current sequencing technologies, metagenomics is still a long way from providing genome-scale information for each member of a microbial community equivalent to that obtained from microorganisms isolated in pure culture.
Although special services for frail older people have proven effectiveness in the form of inpatient geriatric health services [ 4], several societal developments ask for community equivalents.
To test this hypothesis, we propose to use synthetic networks as a benchmark in which to tune the above mechanisms as follows: First we divide a number of nodes N, into m communities of equivalent size.
Since the intermixing index can be a function of community height, we compared intermixing indexes of simulated communities at equivalent heights.
