Ms. Prata, a skilled storyteller with a clear, unsentimental eye, neatly balances large-scale horror with a small-scale point of view charged with simple, direct feeling, deftly interweaving the present-tense narrative with the tale from the journal.
Bond borrowings: 004 out of 007 In 2001, The Fast and the Furious was a small-scale Point Break knock-off about an undercover cop who infiltrated a gang of Los Angeles hot-rodders.
Scaling information from small-scale point measurements to larger areas and time periods is a great challenge in many areas of environmental science but is especially challenging for denitrification due to inherently high variability at the microbial scale of the process.
The first type is small-scale point mutations, including nucleotide substitutions and short insertions or deletions.
Recent studies have shown that both small-scale point mutations and large-scale genome changes can play important roles in shaping the evolutionary history and population structure of closely related lineages/species [8] [10; for recent reviews, see 5, 11].
As most land use systems (AF, AC) were only of small size (<2 ha), small-scale point counting was the only possible method, regardless of the fact that bird point diversity in tropical forests may only reflect a small proportion of the overall alpha-diversity [42].
Evolutionary changes, which have shaped the mammalian genomes, include both small-scale (point mutations, microsatellite slippage, insertions/deletions) as well as large-scale events (transpositions, genomic rearrangements and segmental duplications).
Langolf et al. [ 30] found that it took less time to make very small-scale pointing movements when the hand-held pointer and target were viewed through a microscope.
On a smaller scale The Turning Point brings similar musical groups to Rockland.
This has already been achieved on a small scale, Petersilia points out, with federal-state initiatives like giving Pell grants to outgoing inmates to reduce recidivism, and the Second Chance Act, which boosts states' reentry programs for those coming out of prison.
