Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the same island and the same basic environment, yet the border between the two societies offers one of the starkest contrasts on earth — with trees and progress on one side, and deforestation and poverty and early death on the other.
Brooks then discusses the political history of Haiti speaking of dictators and invasions contrasting it to the Dominican Republic, saying that the D.R "is in much better shape... the border between the two societies offers one of the starkest contrasts on earth -- with trees and progress on one side, and deforestation and poverty and early death on the other".
The problem is that of most efficient estimation of covariates parameters on one side and the treatment contrasts and/or block contrasts on the other side.
Williams, meanwhile, finds discomforting contrasts on the edge of town: after witnessing so much violence in South Africa, he simply could not "shoot straight" any more.
Coastal salinity is characterised by large and variable salinity contrasts on relatively small scales.
The contrasts on Venus were noticed more than a century ago and recorded as drawings as early as 1881 (Niesten and Stuyvaert 1904).
The "particle-like" contrasts on the top of nanowires in the inset of Fig. 4a are considered to be a zigzag characteristic of short nanowires.
In this study, we evaluate the effect of strong sediment/bedrock impedance contrasts on soil amplification in Boston, Massachusetts, for typical sites along the Charles and Mystic Rivers.
The contrasts on small spatial scales (≪ 100 km) are very low when compared to the contrasts seen at larger scales (≫ 100 km), as can be seen from images shown in Figs. 4, 5, 6 and 7.
This chapter also contrasts on the verification focus of implementation verification against post-partitioning verification, where implementation-level details like cycle timing and control register bit encodings find themselves the subject of checkers and coverage models.
