MREDs are part of an ongoing large-scale modification of coastal waters that also includes activities such as commercial fishing, shipping, aggregate extraction, aquaculture, dredging, spoil-dumping and oil and gas exploitation.
The ability to change the functional macrocircuitry of the brain through changes in the expression of a single transcription factor in a single neuroblast lineage may provide a simple paradigm for large-scale modification of brain connectivity during evolution.
Other ideas, such as large-scale modification of the atmosphere, a constellation of satellites in low-Earth orbit, or the injection of cloud-forming materials or reflective particulates into the skies or oceans, have potentially hazardous unforeseen consequences.
In order to achieve a higher speed on existing lines, the catenary needs large-scale modification implying long out-off-service time.
This large-scale modification of functional circuits in the brain by a single transcription factor in a single stem cell is unprecedented and reveals a surprising capacity for novel neural circuit formation in the developing brain, which may provide a paradigm for large-scale evolutionary modification of brain connectivity.
Ganguly, K., Dimitrov, D. F., Wallis, J. D. & Carmena, J. M. Reversible large-scale modification of cortical networks during neuroprosthetic control.
The results show that a rightly-tuned mass, here the implementing location and the elasticity of its connection, can positively change the dynamic performance without implementing large-scale modification to the existing system.
This large-scale modification of leaf characteristics is considered in terms of the very open architectural phenotype of columnar trees and the impact this may have on the canopy microclimate that influences leaf development.
PACIFIC GROVE, CALIFORNIA An international group of scientists, ethicists, and governance experts meeting here this week has agreed that research into large-scale modification of the planet is "indispensable" given the "threats" posed by climate change.
Identifying resources necessary for critical life-history phases (e.g., brood-rearing, nesting, and roosting) and survival are important for managing landscapes (Dzialak et al. 2011b), especially when landscapes are exposed to large-scale modification from climatic and anthropogenic sources.
