In connection with this, the net change, persistence, and the net change-to-persistence ratio (Pontius et al. 2004; Braimoh 2006; Tsegaye et al. 2010) were computed to show the resistance and vulnerability of a given LULC type in IDRIS ANDES software of Land Change Modeler.
Disappointments and delays don't faze Mr. Thomas, an entrepreneur who has nursed his idea for an environmentally friendly fishing net with persistence, self-sacrifice and a willingness to change course.
Post-classification comparison of land cover maps of 1972 and 2010 was used to quantify the level of persistence, net gains, losses and swaps among urban, natural vegetation, and agriculture categories; framed in a hierarchical land use/cover classification.
The net change-to-persistence ratio (i.e., the net change/diagonals of each class) is important to indicate the dominant trends in a changing landscape.
The net change-to-persistence ratio of the cultivated and settlement areas was the highest, while that of bareland was the lowest (Table 3).
Finally, in the third, most recent time period (1992 2002), 85% of the landscape showed persistence while net changes were twice as frequent as swap changes.
They include the persistence of net short positions on the broad indexes, meaning that investors have more money riding on a market fall than on a market rise, and, despite low interest rates, the still relatively high cost of financing for banks, which curtails lending.
And five minutes after the interval Italy got the equaliser they sought when Uchida knocked the ball into his own net after Giaccherini's persistence.
Therefore, persistence of NETs, through insufficient clearance by endonucleases or phagocytes, may serve as a complementary quantitative perturbation leading to SLE pathogenesis.
But then Li broke her with sheer persistence at the net.
