The son of Kamaladdin Heydarov, the oil-rich nation's minister for emergency situations, owns Gabala football club: "a small-scale effort to replicate the Chelsea antics of Russia's Roman Abramovich".
Even for the M. tuberculosis genome, where literature-based GO annotation is a small-scale effort, 13% of the genes that are currently represented in the GAF would lack annotation completely if no manual annotation were done.
Just as a big defensive play can lead to an offensive spark between the hash marks, small scale efforts can lead to larger overall progress and closer to evening the score.
One control clinic recently started implementing the Teamlet model on a small scale, but efforts were not specific to patients with diabetes.
The focus, he said, was to begin long overdue efforts on a small scale, "at the community level, where security conditions are relatively stable".
Accordingly the modularity of a project might be about distributed computers involving millions or smaller scale efforts with fewer contributers that are more specialized.
It's too soon to tell how effective those laws have been, but smaller scale efforts have shown great results.
Large scale projects aimed at sequencing the complete genomes of many crop and model plant species have been preceded by smaller scale efforts that informatively sample and annotate limited but representative genomic regions.
As this approach moves from smaller scale efforts into biomarker discovery efforts in clinical trials, rapid and reliable quality assurance approaches are necessary, both from the perspective of ensuring accurate data for inclusion as clinical trial secondary endpoints, and as a measure to contain costs (Group, 2004).
