The gender proportions in natural populations are variable (Klaas and Olson, 2006), and in harsher conditions the sex ratio is typically biased toward females (Hermanutz and Innes, 1994; Alatalo and Molau, 1995).
Instead, countries pursuing harsh austerity have seen the ratio of debt to G.D.P. rise, because the shrinkage in their economies has outpaced any reduction in the rate of borrowing.
At last, feasibility of the designed displacement amplifier is analyzed from loading force, amplification ratio and environmental temperature under harsh environment for online strain monitoring using FEA.
Among them, boron one-dimensional nanostructures are expected to have broad applications for their high conductivity, high aspect ratios, and excellent performance in harsh conditions[14 20].
NEW DELHI (AFP) -- The problem of India's "missing girls" has been put under a harsh spotlight by new census data showing the ratio of female to male children at its lowest level since independence in 1947.
Although TrCel7A was able to reduce the inhibitory power of IOS by approximately 70% (Table 4), this effect was observed using "harsh" conditions of IOS treatment (the IOS to TrCel7A ratio was 5/1 on a mole basis).
It is also preferable to use less harsh conditions by using the highest biomass-to-homogenisation buffer ratio possible for feasible operation.
Indeed, because of the harsh effect of budget cutting on growth, debt-to-G.D.P. ratios in Europe have continued to rise.
Another harsh critic on cost grounds was Edward Teller, who simply stated that the exchange ratio meant the solution was to build more ICBMs.
At lower fluid-to-binder ratios, the alkaline fluid required would be comparatively less, resulting in harsh mortar exhibiting high frictional resistance.
