"You can't exchange these points for real-world goods and services, yet people still spend enormous amounts of time accumulating them just to beat others in a list of top point-getters, or simply to compete with themselves".
According to a time-based or "time-accumulation" view (e.g., Gallistel and Gibbon, 2000), the PREE occurs because the organism has learned in partial reinforcement to expect the reinforcer after a larger amount of time has accumulated in the CS over trials.
In the process he also became the first Spaniard, youngest (age 25), and shortest amount of time to accumulate all three wins (15 months).
As the sister lineages had the same amount of time to accumulate species and substitutions, we assumed that the branch length is proportional to the rate of molecular evolution of chloroplasts (reviewed in [ 34]).
The main criterion to select pairs was that the pair was monophyletic, so the two sister lineages had the same amount of time to accumulate species diversity and substitutions, and each sister pair was phylogenetically independent from all other such pairs.
The promise of automation is not only to reduce the cost of labor, but also to cut construction time — to 12 weeks from six to eight months in some cases — which also reduces the amount of time developers would be accumulating interest on a loan, said Mark Kingsley the chief executive at Alion.
In practice, the whole life cycle of condition-monitoring data acquired from a machine is already scarce due to irregular measurement recording, and/or the huge amount of time they take to accumulate.
The refractory clade has therefore had a considerable amount of time in which to accumulate a high diversity of repeat patterns.
