This low performance was due to the lack of features tailored to specific PHI types, as well as to the scarcity of training examples in a few PHI types (e.g., only 4 examples of Zip code and Age > 89 in our evaluation corpus).
However high-minded their motives, they can trigger competition and conflict; from the Balkans in 1914 to central Africa now, there is no scarcity of depressing examples.
In addition, there is a scarcity of empirical examples of how information collected using community-based approaches can be used to both define management guidelines and measure outcomes for sustainability.
The scarcity of these examples from a large collection of bipedal records observed throughout primates suggests that CLCA was not an obligate quadruped, but a partial biped as other arboreal and terrestrial primates are.
The evolutionary advantage of such a mechanism is clear: If a fetus or newborn senses he is entering a world of scarcity, for example, he'd better prepare himself to hang on to every calorie.
However, if an illness coincides during a time of scarcity, for example during the rainy season, financial barriers may delay or prohibit prompt care-seeking: "This illness began during the rainy season, and there was nothing.
The evolutionary value is that in times of stress — food scarcity, for example — this gene would slow down the aging process and keep you alive longer, so that when times are better, you could reproduce.
Nothwithstanding the scarcity of comparative studies, the cited examples indicate that climbing habit, leaf longevity and defences appear to be linked in ecologically meaningful ways.
For example, the scarcity of hosts (relative to phages) in the marine environment may impose intense resource competition, and host specialization may evolve as a mechanism to reduce this competition.
A common finding by Casale et al. (2007) was, for example, the scarcity of long-term parental planning, despite caregivers' strong concerns for the future of their children and awareness of threats to their welfare, options and potential strategies.
Despite the scarcity of opportunity, there are already vivid examples of what embedded designers can do to improve and enrich people's lives.
