It all rather stretches the seductive conceit that Macau, under Portuguese rule, is a model of colonial retreat when compared with Hong Kong, under British rule.
The old-fashioned model of "colonial aid" or project-specific nongovernmental organization (NGO) work based on a "donor and recipient" model is becoming discredited.
Quantifying the fitness costs and benefits of changes in colony size will permit parameterization of size-structure population models for colonial phytoplankton, and so may improve our understanding of complex interactions between harmful phytoplankton, algal competitors, and grazers [71], [72], [73].
TO celebrate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage up the Hudson River on the Half Moon (replica, left), a model of a colonial Dutch village will be created in Bowling Green Park, Broadway and Whitehall Streets, from Sept. 4 to 14.
However, he does not seem to consider the possibility that the new nation state could be institutionally very different from the model of the colonial state, or the creole, mestizo state that came after it.

The plight of a half-caste Aboriginal man named Jimmie (Tom E Lewis), who embarks on a mission of murderous revenge after suffering injustices at the hands of white farmers, was modelled on colonial-era serial killer Jimmy Governor.

(He built a model of a Colonial-era boat said to be the first submarine and was arrested as he floated up to the Queen Mary 2 when it visited New York Harbor).
Quantifying the influence of colony size on growth rate is crucial for the development of predictive models aimed at forecasting blooms of colonial cyanobacteria, as well as for a more general understanding of phytoplankton dynamics.
