In contrast, proximity from a range of human-mediated influences (e.g. the number of outfalls and ports) seem to be related to the loss of seagrass; the rate of seagrass erosion between 2003 and 2012 was significantly predicted by the number of human-mediated impacts around each meadow.
In contrast, proximity and outlet density of on-premise outlets (i.e. local pubs or clubs) was unrelated to adolescent alcohol use, nor was off-sales outlet density measured at the very immediate neighbourhood level (data zone).
Inflammation appears associated with osteoporosis of the trabecular bone, but also with new bone formation occurring at the edges of the bone, two contrasting features in close proximity.
Cairo witnesses a spatial pattern of division where contrasting socioeconomic areas exist in close proximity.
Phototrophic microbial communities were obtained from contrasting ecotypes, and examined for the effects of proximity and salinity variations.
Such contrasting behavior of two forest types in close proximity might frustrate attempts to estimate regional carbon (C) fluxes and net C exchange.
Mean proximity index (MPI) and interspersion juxtapostition index (IJI) showed contrasting trends, but the latter exhibited high values at extreme values of mean patch size (MPS).
The model includes geometrical parameters of the design (lattice constant, lattice symmetry), the resist contrast and proximity parameters (beam broadening, backscatter range, backscatter efficiency).
By contrast, highway proximity uplifts the value of office properties with lower transportation costs and higher market accessibility in Kowloon and the New Territories, where spacious workplaces near hub-port and logistics facilities are advantageous for mobility-driven trade and transportation businesses that tend to increase value-added throughput in cross-border relations with mainland China.
In contrast, if proximity of the figure elements is critical, then saccadic compression would not occur in either condition.
In contrast, the proximity to a VL-infected person is a major risk factor for VL (6 ).
