"But at least this now gives us some time to work toward that goal without some arbitrary, short-term deadline," he said.
When you herky-jerk this funding around for arbitrary short-range budget goals, you screw up five-year-long longitudinal studies, or, if the NIH determines to maintain funding for long-term projects, you make it impossible to start new research.And for what?
In this paper, we show that the absence of real modes does not persist under the addition of an arbitrary short-range non-negative potential V to the wave equation or under changes of the metric gM,a in the far away region of MM,a (retaining the causality of the stationary Killing field T there).
Arbitrary short-acting insulin sliding scales, which are used much too often in long-term care facilities (60), should be avoided, and glyburide should be discontinued in favor of shorter-acting insulin secretagogues or medications that do not cause hypoglycemia.
Studying cortisol responses to laboratory stress suffers from the same limitations as those of psychophysiological mental stress testing more generally: namely, it involves assessing acute responses to arbitrary short-term behavioural stimuli under artificial conditions that are seldom encountered in everyday life.
Copulation duration can have an impact on the effectiveness of sperm transfer and storage, so we used parental species in interrupted copulation at nine minutes (minimum copulation duration recorded) and at an arbitrary shorter time of five minutes.
The data have been included in this systematic review of the literature here, although it is not a true clinical study and the observation time of 6 months is arbitrary and short.
These proposed changes seem arbitrary and short sighted when looking at the bigger picture.
For Katouzian, what unites these 3,000 years of history and makes them intelligible is arbitrary government, short-term, violent and insecure.
