In 2009 nations agreed at Copenhagen to provide $100bn in "climate finance" although this target has not been met and will be debated again at the Paris talks.
Although this target may be achieved by limiting human activities through buffer zones and restricted areas, a more rigorous approach can be based on optimisation models founded on quantitative and transparent scientific methodologies.
In many ways, the task resembles shooting down an intercontinental nuclear missile, although this target is larger, its path is better known and, if a first shot misses, it will continue to circle the Earth for long enough to allow a second or even a third try.
Although this target was not met because the effort reductions were not completed until 2000/01, preliminary catch per unit effort (CPUE) data indicate that the population is increasing.
The presence of mycobacterial DNA was investigated by amplifying the gene encoding the 65 kDa antigen, although this target is of doubtful use as it is found in all environmental mycobacteria.
Although this target energy deficit is some way beyond the effect sizes that could feasibly be achieved by interventions to reduce portion size alone (based on our summary estimate of this effect among studies included in the review), our result suggests that interventions of this kind could meaningfully contribute to helping patients achieve such a target if their effects were sustained.
Although this paper targets in particular 3D underwater networks, much of our results are applicable to other 3D networks, such as for airborne applications, space exploration, and storm tracking.
Although this study targets Japanese, these new findings on metabolic markers in the late elderly could provide additional data for the annotation of cardiovascular risk factors in the diabetic elderly across the world.
Although interest in this target is high, prototypical KOR antagonists have extraordinarily persistent pharmacodynamic effects that complicate clinical trials.
The 2009 MDG report (2) stated 'Although data on this target are problematic and at times contentious, significant progress in individual African countries has been registered, although the rate of progress at the continental level is poor.
