Sentence examples for encountered reduction from inspiring English sources

The tsunami generated at the water depth of 1,350 m encountered reduction of water depth when spreading towards the continent, forming hydraulic jumps.

Our results suggest that predators control infection prevalence not by controlling the density of host species but instead by an unrelated mechanism, possibly encounter reduction.

When significant comminution is encountered, anatomic reduction may be impossible and some residual deformity must be accepted.

Therefore, we cannot support transmission reduction or encounter reduction as being the major mechanisms driving the patterns we observed here.

A similar argument exists for encounter reduction, where encounters between hosts and infected vectors should decrease where there is a greater relative abundance of new species.

These two mechanisms correspond, respectively, to the "susceptible host regulation" and "encounter reduction" modes by which high diversity reduces pathogen transmission [2].

Hence, under encounter reduction, we also expect avian community evenness to be a stronger predictor than species richness of human WNV.

Encounter reduction should follow a similar pattern, as adding relatively more individuals of an additional species will reduce rates of contact that could aid transmission of the pathogen.

The higher seroprevalence and seroconversion rates in experimental (non-reservoirs removed) plots suggest that high small-mammal diversity reduces encounter rates between infected and susceptible hosts (the "encounter reduction" mode of the "dilution effect"[2]).

Of the possible mechanisms that could help explain a general diversity-disease relationship, our data are not wholly consistent with either transmission reduction or encounter reduction being the major mechanisms (Table 1).

Overall, we are left with partially supporting the mechanism of susceptible host regulation and down-playing the roles of transmission and encounter reduction in explaining the diversity-disease relationship we show here.
