New laws require dam projects to undergo environmental impact studies and also provide opportunities for public comment and oversight.
As the ideal methodological situation of random selection of projects to undergo a license change is not possible due to the impossibility of doing that with other people's project (this is not an experiment), alternatively, to control for confounding effects, projects that had their listing categories or audiences changed during the period covered by this study were selected out too.
This number of projects to undergo this testing step is considered sufficient when it reaches 2 5% of the total projects to be assessed and should be within a range of 12 25 projects in total, independent of the actual total number of projects [27, 28].
As the first big solar thermal power project to undergo licensing in 20 years and the first to begin construction, Ivanpah is being watched closely by environmentalists, regulators and competitors over how it handles wildlife challenges.
Most of Earth's land that is not covered by ice or desert is projected to undergo at least a 30%% change in plant cover changes that will require humans and animals to adapt and often relocate.
We find that if no dispersal is assumed, by 2050s, more than 50% of the species studied are projected to undergo reductions of at least 45% in their climatic niche, whilst 10% of species could be extinct.
Ecologically sensitive "hotspots" areas projected to undergo the greatest degree of species turnover that were identified by the study include regions in the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau, eastern equatorial Africa, Madagascar, the Mediterranean region, southern South America, and North America's Great Lakes and Great Plains areas [11, 12].
Currently, most large QI projects appear to undergo some level of review, particularly with regards to participant risk and confidentiality of data [ 15].
The project has to undergo an individual citywide vote because of Proposition B, which passed over the summer and requires that any development on the waterfront that exceeds existing height limits be tested on the ballot.
Details of the system, including the methods of sample accrual, deidentification of patient records, and extensive internal and external review that the project continues to undergo, have been published elsewhere [ 22].
In any event event, he said, the project still had to undergo an extensive public review, including hearings, before a final decision was made.
