Territories invaded

A major outbreak of epizootic VEE occurred in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Epizootic virus first reached North America in 1966 but did not reach the United States until 1971. Studies of this epizootic demonstrated that the virus easily invaded territories in which it was formerly unknown,64 presumably as a result of (1) the availability of large numbers of susceptible equine amplifying hosts and (2) the presence of competent mosquito vectors. The initial outbreak in North America, and the first recorded such epizootic, occurred in 1966 in Tampico, Mexico, involving approximately 1,000 equines. By the end of 1969 and the beginning of 1970, the outbreak had expanded to such an extent that the... 

There was a point in time when it might have been brilliant to put Mr. McNally on the City Planning Commission. He invaded and occupied frontier territories like TriBeCa with the restaurant Odeon in 1980 and eastern SoHo with Pravda in 1996 and Balthazar in 1997. Mr. McNally s recent posts are more like cleanup missions in well-publicized locales Pastis in the meatpacking distinct in 1999 and Schiller s, opened last month, on the Lower East Side. 

Linearly arranged territories, as those of beaver, C. canadensis and C. fiber, along a stream require yet another marking pattern. Trespassing conspecifics are expected to arrive along the watercourse, not usually overland. Therefore, if directed at potential invaders, marking is expected to be particularly intense at the up- and downstream ends of the territory, and less along the banks. Eurasian beavers mark indeed more heavily at territorial borders, and especially at the upstream limit of their territory (Rosell etal., 1998). 

Female mice given a choice between territorial marks of exclusive (one odor) and invaded (mixed odor) territories (in the absence of the owner) chose the first odor. Therefore, females use not only the odor of the territory owner but also the absence or presence of marks by competitors (challengers). The absence of any interfering mark identifies the marking male as one of high quality (Hurst and Rich, 1999). In short, individual A can read the story of interactions between individuals B and C and act accordingly to maximize its own fitness. 

This is a very weak suggestion, because a high number of new ecological niches did become available after the Cambrian, and not just once but many times over. When animals invaded the land, for example, they had at their disposal absolutely virgin territories for hundreds of millions of years. And as for the sea, species have been literally decimated various times by great mass extinctions, which certainly created plenty of opportunies for new experiments in body plans.

Eh Yes, why not the general replied. Good for em to know it. Can t have British territory invaded, you know. ... 

The region of physical space occupied by a living system, and frequently protected by it from an invader, is its territory. Examples are a bowerbird s stage, a dog s yard, a family s property, a nation s land. 

The Tribe of Dan expanded its territories by invading the north of Israel, just above the Lake of Galilee ... 

The inhabitants of non-occupied territory, who, on the approach of the enemy, take up arms spontaneously and openly to resist the invading troops, even if they have not had time to organise themselves. ... 

In this connection, it has been argued that Article 70(1) primarily requires the agreement of the parties from which the relief is to come and the parties for which the rehef is intended. Therefore, if, for example, relief actions are destined for a territory controlled by an invading State, the agreement of that invading State... 

The almost complete separation between governmental and private activity on which the Hague Regulations were premised, which viewed the occupant as a disinterested invader, soon proved inadequate. The broadening of state involvement in the economic activities of its citizens was mirrored in situations of occupation, as occupants sought to intervene in the affairs of the territories under their control. ... 

We choose the initial conditions to be /o(x, 0) = 1 for jc <0 and /o(Jt, 0) = 0 for X > 0. This initial condition describes, for example, a territory divided into an invaded zone, x < 0, and a noninvaded zone, x > 0, separated by a frontier at X = 0. If particles disperse according to an isotropic random walk with KPP kinetics, this initial condition turns into a front propagating from left to right, i.e., the invasion starts. Since the particle jumps are isotropic, the reaction is responsible for the motion of the front from left to right. It is the reaction process that starts and maintains a successful invasion. A bias to the left in the random walk will hinder the invasion. Therefore we expect that the critical reaction rate is given by a balance between the factor favoring the invasion, the reaction process, and the factor opposing the invasion, the bias in the transport process. 

Frederick II of Prussia was the first to invade when Maria Theresa was pregnant with her first child. But far from buckling, she used the birth of her son to rally support. Although some territory was lost, the empire survived, and Maria Theresa bore nine more children, one of whom we encounter again as the French queen Marie Antoinette. 

In the iiietastable region, the potentials G and F of the initial phase invade the foreign territory (sec the dashed linos in Figure 1.1 Gad) and have no singularities at the transition (equilibrium) point itself. Their values on the foreign field correspond to the natural interpolation from their own field .
