In contrast, in the case of big disasters, vulnerability is quickly saturated due to the intensity of the hazards, and therefore, its relative importance is smaller (Cardona 2004a; Marulanda et al. 2010; Velásquez et al. 2014).
After the disastrous 1993 mission in Somalia, the United States was reluctant to become involved in an African nation it did not know well, whose geopolitical importance was small, and whose sufferings were at the time unobserved by television, Mr. Halperin said.
Especially in PETR the individual variable importance was small with comparably high standard deviations (Fig. 4).
The variation in variable importance was smaller in the resampled case study data set, compared with experiment 2. The BRT model, such as the CART model, also chose variables R1 and R2 as relatively important in predicting missingness.
More than this, quite a few people emphasized that it was precisely Libya's lack of strategic importance — it is small and far away, and most of its oil goes to Europe and Asia — that made it possible for the administration to go along with the war plan.
Other than off the southeastern United States, this species is of little commercial importance: it is small and occurs in water too shallow for most commercial and recreational fisheries, and is generally too fast-swimming to be caught by shrimp trawlers.
The clinical importance of this effect is small and limited.
The importance of openness for aesthetics is small and not significantly dependent on the individual background of the observer.
Clinically, the biologic advantage of a larger volume of potential normal tissue repair, such as that occurs with conventional RT, is of particular importance when the safety margin is small between tumor and normal tissue.
