Spatially resolved spectral analysis for the small-scale regions were tentatively performed.
Many of the existing ecological risk studies for groundwater ecosystems paid little attention to either small-scale regions (e.g., an industrial contamination site) or ignored anthropogenic activities (e.g., site remediation).
Therefore, the traditional view of "a steady state" ocean may not be applied to small-scale regions.
The interest in the biological importance of lateral membrane heterogeneity and domains has been revived by the so-called raft hypothesis 16, 58– 60 that assumes differentiated small-scale regions in biological membranes to be particular platforms for a variety of cell functions, such as signaling and different transport processes 14, 61.
Then, we can use the above heat capacity per unit volume for a small-scale region in a practical purpose.
Among the thermophysical properties, heat capacity per unit volume in a small-scale region is difficult to measure and then, we need to estimate it in an appropriate way.
Indeed, increase in lung inflation may improve lung ventilation not only in large but also in small length scale regions even in normal lungs [ 93].
Different loading rates are applied on the K-dominant part of the small scale transformation region.
We postulate that larger differences in efficiency between pulsed and continuous pumping would be observed for longer interruption periods, or with similar pumping conditions at sites where more of the initial contamination is in small scale low-permeability regions (e.g., sorbing silty or clayey layers within the aquifer).
Although palm oil has been produced on a small scale in the region for many years, governments are now selling off vast areas of land to private companies looking to capitalise on rising demand.
We were meeting to discuss manufacturing in Ethiopia using organic cotton prints sourced from the region, which at the time, while it could technically be done, I strongly advised against: quality control, sourcing cotton, price, labor and skills etc. are all still big issues when manufacturing on a small scale in that region.
