Thus, they are integrated components of the coral reef ecosystem, each playing a role in the support of the reefs ' abundant and diverse fish assemblages.

Thus the sea urchins only need to eat the roots of the kelp, a tiny fraction of the plant's biomass, to remove it from the ecosystem.

Thus perished all traces of the snouters, their unique ecosystem, and all the world's specialists on that intriguing subject — who happened to be holding their congress there at the time.

Thus, it exacerbates ecosystem degradation by forming stands where few other plants can grow, and by rendering riverbanks more prone to erosion as it has only a shallow root system.

Thus, uniformly aged stands are a less stable ecosystem.

Thus invaders may have reduced success in diverse ecosystems, or there may be a reduced likelihood that an invading species will introduce a new property or process to a diverse ecosystem.

Thus, a price can be put on the natural capital of an ecosystem based on the price of natural resources it yields each year.

Thus ecosystem ecology provides a powerful framework for identifying ecological mechanisms that interact with global environmental problems, especially global warming and degradation of surface water.

Thus, ecosystem ecology has emerged from important biological studies of plants, animals, terrestrial, aquatic, and marine ecosystems.

Thus, forests are studied at a number of organizational levels, from the individual organism to the ecosystem.

Thus, forest ecological studies are sometimes closely aligned with meteorological and hydrological studies in regional ecosystem or resource planning studies.

Thus, in order to easily and efficiently access the world ’ s leading networks, other telecom networks are compelled to join the Equinix “ ecosystem ” as well.

Thus, moral issues concerning the nature of the legal and political processes take on theological dimensions.

Thus, energy is no longer released when such nuclei are made by fusion ; instead, energy is absorbed in such processes.

Thus, the specific processes that can be probed with PET are virtually limitless, and radiotracers for new target molecules and processes are continuing to be synthesized ; as of this writing there are already dozens in clinical use and hundreds applied in research.

Thus absorption and stimulated emission are reverse processes proceeding at somewhat different rates.

Thus, many important biotechnological processes use thermophilic enzymes because of their ability to withstand intense heat.

Thus for example atomic processes that are observed as rates, will necessarily be adjusted in a way consistent with relativity, while those involving the measurement of energy and momentum, which themselves form a relativistic vector, will undergo parallel adjustment which preserves the relativistic covariance of the observed values.

Thus the unpredictability of the emerging behaviour from deterministic processes leads to a perception of free will, even though free will as an ontological entity does not exist.

Thus, distinctive, observable morphological features, e. g., illuvial clay accumulation in B horizons, are produced by certain combinations of pedogenic processes operative over varying periods of time.

Thus, it is argued that the domains are to a large extent expressions of the condition of the general processes.

Thus, one cannot satisfactorily specify the intelligence of an individual or design effective interventions programs unless both the general processes and the domains of interest are evaluated.

Thus one should be able to virtually completely reconstruct these " cultural processes.

Thus closed system thermodynamics can be used to evaluate functions of state for open systems, but processes specified in terms of heat and work transfer are not physically uniquely defined for open systems.

Thus it is apparent that the need for cognitive closure may have important implications for both personal and inter-personal thoughts and actions, including some related to educational processes and school learning.

Thus, due to bacteria's preference when performing biogeochemical processes such as denitrification and volatilization of ammonia, < sup > 14 </ sup > N is removed from the water at a faster rate than < sup > 15 </ sup > N, resulting in more < sup > 15 </ sup > N entering the aquifer.

Thus a claim that gender is socially constructed probably means that gender, as currently understood, is not an inevitable result of biology, but highly contingent on social and historical processes.

Thus, MNCs are likely to adapt production processes in many of their operations to conform to the standards of the most rigorous jurisdiction in which they operate ( this tends to be either the USA, Japan, or the EU ).

Thus, OD interventions focus on the total culture and cultural processes of organizations.

Thus, this scheduler dictates what processes are to run on a system, and the degree of concurrency to be supported at any one time-i. e.

Thus, causal deterministic laws do not apply to culture in a strict sense, but there are nevertheless productive analogies that can be drawn between ecological and cultural processes.

Thus, for example, many new products will emerge from irrational processes and the rational development process may be used ( if at all ) to screen out the worst non-runners.

Thus, if actions arise so that the self attempts self-explanation, confusion may well occur within linguistic mental pathways and processes.

Thus for isentropic processes with an ideal gas,

Thus, thermal energy is process-dependent except in systems in which processes to change internal energy other than heating, can be neglected.

Thus we are compelled to face the urbanization of the South -- an urbanization which, despite its dramatic and overwhelming effects upon the Southern culture, has been utterly ignored by the bulk of Southern writers.

Thus, paradoxically, the beat writers resort to `` religious '' metaphors: they are in search of mana, the spiritual, the numinous, but not anything connected with formal religion.

Thus, if corporations are not to run away with us, they must become quasi-governmental institutions, subject to public control and needs.

Thus Burns's `` My love is like a red, red rose '' and Hopkins' `` The thunder-purple sea-beach, plumed purple of Thunder '' although clearly intelligible in content, hardly present ideas of the sort with which we are here concerned.

Thus there are polynomials Af such that Af.

Thus the Af are projections which correspond to some direct-sum decomposition of the space V.

Thus pencils of tangents to Q are transformed into pencils of tangents.

Thus it follows that the secants of **zg are all invariant.

Thus, although the agenda of external assistance in the economic sphere are cumulative, and many of the policies suggested for nations in the earlier stages remain relevant, the basic purpose of American economic policy during the later stages of development should be to assure that movement into a stage of self-sustaining growth is not prevented by lack of foreign exchange.

Thus the first lines of one of Charles Wesley's hymns are as follows.

Thus in his friends are stranger than his sisters' strong stresses are normal for his and sisters', but in his friends are stranger than his sisters strong stresses are normal for friends and sisters.

Thus his persistence values for some stem frequencies per meaning are: stem identical in 8 languages, 100% ; ;

Thus, the white middle and lower classes are arrayed against the Negro middle and lower classes.

Thus, during any given year ( A ) if the revenues from the residential service are $7,000,000, ( B ) if the operating expenses imputed to this class of service come to $5,000,000, and ( C ) if the net investment in ( or value of ) the plant and equipment deemed devoted to this service amounts to $30,000,000, the cost analyst will report that residential service, in the aggregate, has yielded a return of $2,000,000 or 6-2/3 per cent.

Thus, in the example cited above Fromm rests his whole case on the premise that the workers are being deprived unconsciously, unknowingly, of fulfillment, and then supports this with survey data reporting conscious, experienced frustrations.

Thus, the three main categories of antisubmarine warfare operations are defense of shipping, defense of naval forces, and area defense.

Thus, the most productive areas are not necessarily the most stressed.

Thus a number of operations of the order of Af are required.

Thus, if we are to observe American folklore in the twentieth century, we will do well to establish the relationships between folklore, nationalism and imperialism at the outset.

Thus, in `` The Story Of Ruth '' we have Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz and sets that are meticulously authentic.

" Thus Boolos and Jeffrey are saying that an algorithm implies instructions for a process that " creates " output integers from an arbitrary " input " integer or integers that, in theory, can be chosen from 0 to infinity.

Thus although most species in the order are herbaceous, some no more than 15 cm high, there are a number of climbers ( e. g. some species of Asparagus ), as well as several genera forming trees ( e. g. Agave, Cordyline, Yucca, Dracaena ), some of which can exceed 10 m in height.
