The paucity of well-known advertisers and the predominance of local sponsors was also evident in markets like St .Louis and Washington.
In the French cantons the influence of the Napoleonic Code was apparent, but the predominance of local custom in areas such as guardianship and matrimonial regimes made for little continuity from canton to canton.
What is more, the predominance of local as opposed to distant interactions makes FMM ideally suited for applications on super-computers, where communications (required by distant interactions) are increasingly more costly than computations.
Their characteristics of predominance near local midnight, repeatability of "oscillation" of magnetic signature, "simultaneous perturbations, that are observable right to the equator", "short duration not more than 2 or 3 h", and "conditions before and after are comparatively quiet" can all be recognized as typical signatures of what are now called magnetic substorms.
Because of the predominance of local movements of ducks (Figure 1A), virus inactivation rates did not have an important effect on the distance of AIV spread during the wintering period.
This is supported by knowledge that the ineffectiveness of the immune response in patients with advanced cancer has been increasingly recognized to be associated intimately with the presence of a predominance of local and systemic T-regulatory responses.
A small-world network exhibits a connectivity that constitutes a compromise between random and nearest neighbor regimes resulting in a short average path length despite the predominance of local connections (Watts and Strogatz 1998; Sporns et al. 2004; Bassett and Bullmore 2006).
The rarity of other chasmosaurines may reflect a true regional predominance of Triceratops, local rarity of non-Triceratops in the Hell Creek and Lance Formations due to ecological factors (i.e., other taxa were more common elsewhere), or a taphonomic artifact.
On the other hand, relatively high numbers of B. garinii variants on Commander Island is unexpected given the island's geographical isolation and presumably few local vertebrate reservoir species, with predominance of Tufted Puffins.
Combined analysis (maximum likelihood and Bayesian) of HIV-1 transmission chains revealed 8 major clusters (n ≥ 10 patients), 1 group of 4 patients, 2 trios and 12 transmission pairs, thus leaving only 43 (19.3%) Slovenian patients infected with subtype B without a local epidemiological link, indicating a predominance of local transmission of HIV-1 infection.
