Together, this evidence suggests that H. erectus grew up faster than H. sapiens (but slower than apes) and therefore achieved benchmarks of growth earlier than modern humans.
Our work has shown that highly effective pretreatment strategies such as glycerol/HCl are able to achieve benchmark performance targets of about 90% glucan conversion in 24 h with a cellulase addition rate of 20 FPU/g glucan compared to dilute H2SO4 steam explosion pretreatment, which achieves about 70% glucan conversion in 72 h at the same cellulase addition rate.
This is a clarion call for Liberians, and those committed to Liberia's development, to focus on setting and achieving benchmarks for positive peace.
One year ago, Mr. Bush authorized a major buildup of troops as a way to create the space for Iraqis to bridge sectarian divisions and achieve benchmarks for political progress that were set in 2006.
We demonstrate that a hybrid sampling approach achieves benchmarks for the spatial distribution of observations in approximately 1/3 of the time required for transect sampling and results in estimates of ecosystem height that have half the uncertainty as those from transect sampling.
IPDASi, and IPDASi-SF, will be available as a quality assessment method to developers, researchers and purchasers, and given a recognised need to set standards and achieve benchmarks, will be subject to further development.
30 Implementation programmes have included an extensive public programme to educate people on the risks of salt for hypertension 31 and also an extensive government programme to make bonus payments to general practitioners for achieving benchmarks for hypertension care 32 although the efficacy of payment for performance for improving hypertension control has been questioned.
For programmatic purposes, an LGA was determined to be a high priority for programmatic efforts and resource reallocation if it performed below the acceptable benchmark and below the national average or low priority if the LGA had achieved the benchmark.
Also unchanged: only 43 percent of the 1.66 million test-takers achieved the benchmark score, 1550, that indicates readiness for college.
