The minting of coins, the establishment of laws governing ancient forests, the maintenance of local roads, the development of cursive script all interest Ackroyd, as do the dining habits of lords and peasants and the travels of the mendicant friars who "turned English preaching into a folk art".
Fundamentalism is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as the "strict maintenance of ancient or fundamental doctrines of any religion, especially Islam".
Through the analysis, the criteria for the selection of suitable repair mortars are presented, aiming in the preservation of ancient structures and the maintenance of their integrity and authenticity.
The practice of "making them nice" originated in ancient Persia, where eyebrow maintenance was used as a marker of womanhood.
The same methods can be extended to examine the influence of recombination and the balanced maintenance of ancient diversity in their recent evolution.
The maintenance of ancient diversity shared among the gene copies in divergent genomes likely points to the ongoing arms-race between the pathogen and the host's immune response.
Contrary to previous reports of high turnover [ 8], we found evidence for the maintenance of ancient structural patterns within the arrays, especially within exon 4. The four tandem arrays show different patterns of proliferation and conservation but the weight of evidence points to all four arrays having evolved after the divergence of arthropods from deuterostomes and nematodes.
Although two Branchiostoma group 8-like sequences (Brafl1 and 2) suggest that there has been a duplication event within this lineage, there is no evidence for maintenance of ancient group 8-like gene duplications occurring within the plant, vertebrate, nematode, arthropod, or fungal lineages.
The obvious alternatives to explain high levels of divergence include horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from distantly related species [ 46], maintenance of ancient, trans-specific polymorphism by balancing selection [ 26, 41, 44, 47], re-localization of the gene to the higher mutation rate environment of the nuclear genome [ 48], or relaxed selection in a non-functional pseudogene [ 49].
Unsuccessful in his obstructionism, he went first to Vienna and then to St . Petersburg where, with the connivance of the empress Catherine, he formed the Confederation of Targowica for the maintenance of the ancient institutions of Poland (May 14 , 1792, of which he was the marshal, or dictator, directing its operations from his castle at Tulczyn.
