And the resources that we use are not this two dimensional swath of land that we have.

Soros is playing with fire. Leaving the eurozone is precisely what the newly founded Alternative for Germany party, which draws support from a wide swath of society, is demanding.

For Turkey, Syria s plight is a strategic nightmare, because any breakup of Syria implies the possible rise of a greater Kurdistan, which would raise claims to a great swath of Turkish territory.

On a global scale, the ERS 1 AMI SAR is operated as a wave scatterometer over water to generate SAR quot imagettes quot of 6 km x 5 km along the SAR swath at 200 km intervals.

Its prime research role is to test a 15 metre resolution, tricolour pushbroom imager with a 45 kilometre swath on a microsatellite of that size. Is also carries an amateur radio communications package for international and national use.

Ultimately, we need economic institutions that somehow promote the concerted creative actions of a wide swath of the world s people. They should not be corporatist institutions, dominated by central leaders, but should derive their power from the fluid actions of modern crowds.

The border between Iraq and Syria is evaporating, as the Sunni militants of the Islamic State capture a widening swath of territory. And the rise of Kurdish military forces against them raises the possibility that a full fledged Kurdish state will eventually emerge.

After cutting down a swath of rainforest, soils are often quickly leached of their nutrients so that they cannot sustain crops or nutritious grasses for livestock. As a result, the new pasture land or farmland is soon abandoned, with no prospect for regeneration of the original forest and its unique ecosystems.

Growth in energy and energy intensive industries will fuel additional demand, output, and employment across a wide swath of supporting activities, including transportation, construction, and professional services. Overall, McKinsey estimates that growth in shale energy could add 2 4 to annual GDP and create up to 1.7 million jobs by 2020.

Unlike spaceborne radar where the incidence angle changes very little, in airborne applications there is a large change in incidence angle across the image swath, which causes difficulty in distinguishing whether changes in backscatter are related simply to changes in incident angle or to changes in the geometry and or the materials themselves.

The central topics of this cruise will be (a) the acquisition and interpretation of acoustic reflectivity data (utilization of the side scan sonar function of modern swath sounding systems) (b) seafloor sampling for calibration and ground truthing of digital acoustic data and (c) the investigation of benthic communities (taxonomy, composition of assemblages, biodiversity).

Perhaps the most crucial step toward realizing this vision is to redouble our efforts to resolve regional confrontations and conflicts that give rise to new nuclear powers. The great swath of states stretching from North America across Europe through Russia has a vital role to play in stabilizing an increasingly fragmented and stressed international order.

LONDON As the Ebola virus grips an unprecedentedly wide swath of Africa, many are asking whether it is time to begin administering untested drugs and vaccines. Given that the disease can kill up to 90 of its victims higher than the mortality rate from the bubonic plague there seems to be little to lose from relaxing clinical norms.

One of the more bizarre aspects of this election is the success of Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and political neophyte. His extreme views on homosexuality he has likened it to bestiality and claimed that spending time in prison makes people gay has resonated with a swath of the Republican electorate, making him a real contender in Iowa.

Indeed, after many months of increasingly forceful military moves most notably, the unilateral declaration of an air defense identification zone covering a large swath of the South China Sea, including disputed territories China s ties with Japan reached an all time low. And concerned Southeast Asian countries have been entreating the US to remain in the region as a counterweight to China.

Jerusalem s Arab population which already accounts for more than 40 of the total is growing by 3.5 annually, compared to 1.5 among Israelis. Once this sizeable swath of voters begins participating in municipal elections which they have so far avoided, lest they be viewed as legitimizing Israeli rule control of the city council is likely to pass to a Palestinian majority.

If a vast swath of the population cannot afford the food that is produced, the size of the yield is irrelevant. While nearly one billion people have been lifted out of poverty (defined by the World Bank as an income of less than 1.25 per day, in purchasing power parity terms) in the last 20 years, such progress will prove more difficult for the next billion.

That is precisely what has been occurring lately between China and the United States, and is the impetus for China s Asia for the Asians policy. In November 2013, China shook the regional order by unilaterally declaring an air defense identification zone (ADIZ) over a large swath of the East China Sea that includes disputed territory notably the Senkaku Islands (known in Chinese as the Diaoyu Islands) that are claimed by China, Japan, and Taiwan.
