The regional landslide warning system focuses only on landslide prone areas; therefore, the flat area of the Po plain is not encompassed in this study.
A detailed review of the mechanisms and interactions described above has been published [12] (study I) and it serves as the pillar-stone for the studies encompassed in the present thesis.
In addition, intervention analysis encompasses in-depth study of intervention models and practical strategies that can lead to improvement and evolvement of these elements which can also enhance the body of scientific and clinical knowledge.
This protocol was not a study protocol but a protocol for patients not encompassed in any study whatsoever.
We encompass in our study specimens with a range of different shapes (shrimp, lobsters, crayfish and crabs) and sizes (e.g., small crab (Porcellanidae: Petrolisthes spp) and big crab (Majidae: Hyas spp).
Hyperspectral imagery was confirmed as a useful tool to visualize the small scale interaction zones between corals and algae, and extends the spectral range encompassed in analysis from previous studies of coral spectra [34] [36], [29], [56].
Therefore, a cluster correction is applied on Substudy 2. We expect the external validity of this study to be high, as the study is encompassed in a real-life setting.
Toxicologic pathology encompasses the study of changes in tissue morphology that help define the risk of exposure to xenobiotics.
We then used ArcGIS (version 9.1; ESRI, Redlands, CA, USA) to impose a 1-km grid over the 500- × 650-km rectangle encompassing the study area (resulting in a total of 325,000 grid cells).
In addition, although encompassing five countries, the study results were biased towards experiences of US nephrologists, as the number of USA respondents was around three times greater than for other countries.
