For the latter, Mr Gandhi should be offering new ideas on the funding of political parties, making leaders more accessible to voters, getting more transparency in policymaking, using the internet better in elections, introducing thresholds in assemblies to limit the fragmentation of national politics, and so on.
To test whether parks limit landscape fragmentation due to their designated protection or biophysical location, one must control for features that render the park inaccessible.
The bed dissection method implemented was designed to limit mechanical fragmentation by minimizing particle handling and bed structural disturbance during sampling.
Our results suggest that spatial and temporal variation in land tenure interact strongly, raising the interesting possibility that strategic purchases of land in ecologically important areas may serve to limit habitat fragmentation.
In contrast to the denaturation temperature at 95°C used in standard template preparation for the Helicos platform, mild denaturation temperatures limit further fragmentation of ancient DNA molecules [ 10].
The idea behind the merger was to create one powerful center-left party aimed at limiting the fragmentation caused by scores of small parties and presenting a steeper challenge to the nation's center-right, headed by Silvio Berlusconi, a former prime minister.
To assess the effectiveness of proposed regional land conservation strategies in the context of rapid urbanization, we measured the impacts of simulated development patterns on two distinct conservation goals: protecting priority natural resources and limiting landscape fragmentation.
Steering development to already disturbed landscapes may increase the spatial extent of wind energy (Figure 3) but will also decrease resulting impacts to wildlife by limiting habitat fragmentation (Figure 1).
In addition, addressing other socio-economic push factors such as poor living and working conditions and lack of accommodation may require concerted government efforts, which may also be limited by fragmentation – so is capitalising on potential stick factors such as targeting students from or with family and social ties in rural communities.
However, ChIP-based technologies have inherent resolution limit given the fragmentation limit of chromatin DNA [ 3].
