First, although the level of advantageous, neutral, and slightly deleterious genetic variation is expected to be correlated to Ne, this correlation appears to be weak; levels of diversity, at least in mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), are poorly correlated to effective population size (Piganeau and Eyre-Walker 2009).
Overfishing occurs because "China is a developing country, its offshore fishing companies are still weak, levels of management are still uneven, and the management system still needs to be steadily improved," states the agency.
IR radiation is known to be scattered by weak levels of cloud and haze, and is significantly absorbed by moderate cloud conditions, resulting in lower levels reaching the ground.
Electrolytes, especially phosphate levels are weak predictors of RFS.
There is a weak level of evidence to support an association between prolonged standing and CPHP [ 9], however, no previous study has adequately defined prolonged standing.
However, quite a large number of markers will be required, given the weak levels of LD we found in wild deer.
In the absence of L-Trp, zero or negligible binding is observed at 20 60 °C, whereas very weak levels of binding are seen at 10 °C, with an apparent Kd of 280 nM.
Specifically, we have shown that human disease genes with vertebrate-specific origins tend to be under weaker levels of purifying selection within mammals than human disease genes of pre-vertebrate origins.
The experimental results demonstrate that GBP kinetics are strongly influenced by very weak levels of stress and tend to indicate that such stresses may be a prerequisite for the formation of nanometric penetration layers.
Ian Gordon, an analyst at Investec Securities, said it was "curious that the bank was allowed to run with such weak levels of capital," adding that there was "an element of regulatory neglect" that represented a lesson for the new system.
