Considering the context of settlement and availability of resources (Table 2), three different situations occurred: (1) Benaco and Lumashi in Tanzania, (2) Goma in DRC, and (3) Bukavu in DRC.
At the same time, the research has demonstrated the diversity of the communities and of the factors involved in local trust formation in variety of different cases (the economic prosperity of settlements, the availability of local initiatives in the villages, the immediate task of collecting and collating everyone's problems so that they can be resolved through the new system).
This indicates a local decoupling of reproduction from larval recruitment [59] and in turn argues in support of pre-settlement larval availability as the primary population structuring force acting within these populations.
Scholars from numerous disciplines — political science, geography, demography, sociology, anthropology, economics and the natural sciences — are studying climate change's impact on future violence and conflict as dramatic shifts and unexpected variations in weather patterns affect food production, human migration and settlement, and the availability of fresh water.
Amount of land owned was not correlated with family or herd size but was determined by length of settlement and local availability of land.
Larval availability and settlement are likely to differ more widely than <1 order of magnitude among chemosynthetic environments because of differences in habitat distribution, density of local adult populations, hydrodynamics and topographic relief; thus, it is unlikely that these two processes are responsible for the observed low variability in recruitment rate.
We examined the effects of habitat configuration and availability on the settlement of New Zealand triplefins (Tripterygiidae), using a field experiment that comprised three habitat treatments and evaluated effects over naturally varying levels of larval supply.
According to the United Nations Secretary-General's Report on Violence Against Children, launched in 2006, "the nature of a community's physical fabric, its density of settlement and layout, and the availability of services and amenities supportive of family well-being, have an important bearing on social relationships within the community and on whether or not children become prey to violence".
This study aims to detect environmental factors (i.e., water availability, roads) that affect settlement distribution, estimate the area of influence of individual settlements on surrounding vegetation, and the impact of settlement densities on vegetation cover at a regional scale, using spatial analysis, remote sensing, and vegetation surveys.
The availability of patent settlements can spur the risky and costly investment in research and development that could lead to tomorrow's groundbreaking medicines -- the same work that is the lifeblood of an industry that supports millions of American jobs.
