While this definition might serve as a useful stopgap for this entry, it must be acknowledged that the terminological terrain of hazards geography is far from settled (Kelman,2018b; Wisner et al.,2018). Nonetheless, and as I have tried to capture in this definition, the main, long-standing...
Chance and human geography;Chance events and human geography;Happenstance and human geography;Serendipitous moments and human geography Definition/Description After being introduced in 1945 by the American sociologist Robert K. Merton, the concept of serendipity rapidly diffused (Merton & Barber,2004; see...

The pervasive endogamy and founder effects in sub-populations have led to a high prevalence of autosomal recessive rare genetic diseases in India, compared to other parts of the world. While there is no appropriate standard definition to describe a rare disease in India, Indian Council of Medical...
Because of global climate change, extreme flood events are expected to increase in quantity and intensity in the upcoming decades. In catchments affected by ore mining, flooding leads to the deposition of fine sediments enriched in trace metal(loid)s. De
(inferred) population demographic histories; correlations between population allele frequencies and directly or indirectly measured agents of selection correlated with geography, such as UV exposure, temperature, precipitation, diet, pathogen exposure; the diversity and spectrum of alleles at the locus ...
we showed all participants the same definition of science and scientists at the beginning of the survey to make sure that the participants had a common definition in mind when answering the survey. A similar definition had been pretested and used by the Wellcome Global Monitor, one of the main...
As a result, each strain in hGMB can only be traced back to its donor’s geography, rather than exact personal information, rendering hGMB a less appropriate repository for future studies relying strictly on a one-to-one link between isolates and donors. As shown in Table S7, the 102 ...

potential microbes through a mix of partially stochastic processes. These processes may include the order in which microbes colonize their respective human habitat (affected by geography and early exposures, for example), the prolonged availability of each microbe in the host’s local environment, and...
