In the semiarid steppes, vegetation is also sparse, characterized by pockets of isolated drought-resistant plants.
From March 2011 to March 2012, internal displacement was viewed as "temporary and sparse," characterized by people fleeing conflict hot spots, moving temporarily to surrounding areas or nearby cities, then returning home after protests and violence subsided [ 22, 23].
Results show that tiny and sparse networks – characterized by a high Betweenness centrality and a high Average path length – achieved more citations per document than dense and compact networks – described by a high Clustering coefficient and a high Average degree.
VDTNs use mobile nodes to enable communications in remote and sparse scenarios characterized by disconnection, as well as urban scenarios.
Contrary to delay-tolerant networks (DTNs), VDTNs place the bundle layer under the network layer in order to simplify the layered architecture and enable communications in sparse regions characterized by long propagation delays, high error rates, and short contact durations.
Clinical examination showed an eschar on the torso, tender local lymphadenopathy, and generalized sparse rash characterized by papular and vesiculopustular lesions.
Clinical signs were inguinal eschar, tender local lymphadenopathy, fever to 39.8°C, severe headache, myalgia, arthralgia, and generalized sparse rash characterized by maculopapular and vesiculopustular lesions.
Clinical examination showed an eschar on the torso, generalized sparse rash characterized by maculopapular and vesiculopustular lesions, plus oral mucosal lesions and a palatal lesion.
Direct corticocortical routes between low level cortical areas of different modalities have been reported (Falchier et al. 2002; Rockland and Ojima 2003; Cappe and Barone 2005; Budinger et al. 2006), possibly contributing to the rapid multisensory interplay, although these direct connections are relatively sparse and characterized by slow propagation.
The performance of the sparse representation is characterized by the global performance measure which quantifies the difference between the output of the sparse graph and the output of the original graph.
Empirical research regarding potential risks and benefits of children's participation in the legal system generally, and in the child dependency legal system in particular, is sparse and mostly characterized by small studies without comparison groups.
