The intertidal mangrove creek fish assemblage consisted of a persistent number of dominant species (seven).
RPGN occurs in a small proportion of patients with systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) and accounts for a persistent number of patients reaching ESRD despite conventional treatment.
After a steady decrease in brucellosis incidence from 1962 to the 1980s, a persistent number of cases has been reported in recent years, with the highest incidence in Turkish immigrants (0.3/100,000 Turks vs. 0.01/100,000 in the German population; incidence rate ratio 29).
In addition to the 300,000-400,000 anamel name changes brought on by marriage or divorce, there is a small but persistent number who change for other reasons: a constant drift between titles, from Miss to Ms or Mrs. In these instances, some organisations insist that title change is name change, and therefore requires documentation.
For years, those tests have found a small but persistent number of animals with drug residues, mostly antibiotics, that violate legal limits.
Since the 1980s, control of the General Assembly has tended to be Democratic, with the balance of power within the House occasionally being controlled by the presence of a small but persistent number of Progressive Party and independent legislators.
A persistent high number of malaria cases in older children and in adults were observed in Zimbabwe, following the scale up of disease control strategies [ 5].
Considering the large number of DE genes in healthy arteries from young animals, the divergent disease pattern despite a converging gene expression signature in two year old animals and the reported persistent number of DE genes from cultured ECs of porcine iliac and coronary arteries, allows for the speculation of an artery specific developmentally programmed atherosusceptibility.
The persistent number of respondents who either insisted on strict equality (3%) (treating both patients as equal), or declined to respond to the questions, may reflect respondents' escape from making difficult decisions, aversion to hypothetical choices or indeed a strong preference for equality [ 14].
The models we considered included a measure of body condition because either 1) malnourished bank voles would be more likely to be PUUV infected because of increased susceptibility (19), or 2) well-nourished bank voles would be more likely to be PUUV seropositive because high-quality habitats support higher or persistent numbers of bank voles (20), facilitating the spread of the virus.
We demonstrated that repetitive application of DHPG, which can induce LTD in cultured hippocampal neurons following single exposure, caused a persistent decrease in numbers of synapses.
