Similarly, the frequency of leaves with folivore damage was greater in the site with higher urbanization, although the area removed by them did not differ between shorter and larger plants.
Nevertheless, the habitat of S. hirsuta does not correspond with the locations preferred by classic carnivorous plants, and the frequency of leaves with trapped insects is too low (3/125, data not shown) to justify a carnivorous habit in this species.
The frequency of leaving the ED of the current study hospital AMA for financial reasons was among the highest found in the literature.
Relationships at the individual level between health worker participation in each recruitment and retention scheme and job satisfaction, likelihood of leaving, and frequency of considering leaving their jobs were investigated using regression models [ 16].
Although a salary top-up for health workers in rural areas was identified as the most effective incentive, almost none of the recruitment and retention strategies were significant predictors of health workers' job satisfaction, likelihood of leaving, or frequency of considering leaving, which were in large part explained by individual characteristics such as age, gender, and profession.
In the latter, the degree to which variation in health workers' self-reported job satisfaction, likelihood of leaving, and frequency of considering leaving, were modelled as functions of participation in each of several retention strategies while controlling for age, gender, profession, and district.
An examination of 598 leaves from the Lower Permian (late Sakmarian) Coprolite Bone Bed (CBB) site in north-central Texas, USA, reveals low herbivory levels based on analyses of foliar surface-area removed (0.25%) and frequency of herbivorized leaves (15.6%).
But he added that wouldn't begin to account for the disparities in cost and frequency of injury leaves between the city and the county.
Several scientific approaches have therefore been used which may explain the variety of approaches used to measure sick leave within an epidemiological framework: frequency of sick leave spells per individual, the total length of absence during a specified period, incidence rate, cumulative incidence and duration of absence spells [ 4].
Another limitation is that for employed individuals, information about most sick-leave spells shorter than 15 days were not included, thus the frequency of sick-leave spells observed in this study is an underestimation of the true number.
As the natural frequency of buildings leave the range of dominant ground shaking frequencies, the damage factors diminish as demonstrated by the data for Takasago Apartment and Lions Tower Kotodai.
