"There has been a consistent shift in the employer-sponsored pillar from defined-benefit plans to defined-contribution," said Brent Beardsley, head of asset management practices for the Americas for the Boston Consulting Group.
We conclude that fires induce a consistent shift in the composition of the springtail functional trait community, which is driven more by the forest stand level of litter thickness and moisture than by subregional forest differences.
Emissions from the northern mid- to high latitudes are likely to be more important, with a consistent shift in emissions from the tropics and subtropics to the mid- to high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere; the emission ratio for 0 30° N to 30 90° N ranges from 1.5 to 1.9 compared with 2.9 to 3.0 in previous estimates.
In our model we found a consistent shift in EDL towards a glycolytic profile.
Note that the data include the characterization of an additional Ire1 mutant Ire1KR32(E715K), which also exhibited a consistent shift in both assays and is discussed below.
Samples preserved with DMSO and glycerol did experience a consistent shift in community composition though dominant microorganisms were retained in the active community.
A consistent shift is needed in the conceptual and methodological approaches to move the decision science away from one-size-fits-all approach.
When the proportion of VEGF-A isoforms to combined total (VEGF-Axxx + VEGF-Axxxb = VEGFsum) was calculated, there appears to be a consistent shift from VEGF-Axxxb predominating in non-diabetics in favour of pro-angiogenic VEGF-Axxx in the PDR group (Fig. 4b, p = 0.050 chi-squared test for trend).
This results in a consistent shift of street geocoded locations to the start of the street segment with correspondingly large positional errors; this effect can be referred to as a "squeeze" towards one side of the street segment.
The more subtle changes in gene expression may support the improved overall metabolic phenotype: a small and consistent shift in gene regulation resulting in a continuous shift in metabolism as suggested by the continuously lower RER (Fig 4A) that is still in a physiological range.
Our results illustrate a dramatic and consistent shift in day versus night microbial communities, which is reflected both in the taxonomic structure and the metabolic capacity encoded by the populations.
