A more balanced, and useful, view of the role of genes in development is that they act as suppliers of the material needs of development and, in some instances, as context-dependent catalysts of cellular changes, rather than as 'controllers' of developmental progress and direction.
Children with a DQ <−2 SD were classified as having definite delay, as were children whose developmental progress was less than that would be expected of an average child half that age.
The state's official discourse misrepresents the size of the nation's scientific output as an equivalent to developmental progress.
To some extent, such variability was linked to the embryos' developmental progress, as illustrated by the real-time PCR plots in Fig. 6 (6A: Xist; 6B: Oct4).
The developmental progress as described above, is expected to further improve children's decision-making competence with age, so at 11.2 years it is supposedly not as good as it can get.
In addition, these issues will serve as the basis for assessment in subsequent sessions for identification of ongoing concerns and will be used as a baseline to show developmental progress or change.
The aims, challenges, and solutions concerning the large-scale assessment of early child capacities and skills as well as the measurements of learning environments that impact early developmental progress are presented and discussed.
To summarize, longitudinal studies that provide a basis for analyzing the conditions which significantly contribute to early developmental progress are of great importance for the individual child as well as for society.
Given the known relationship between heme and lipid metabolism [6], [12], [67], [68], heme levels can serve as an indicator for energy resource and developmental progress.
These correlations were interpreted as indicators of physiological changes that accompany the developmental progress of silkworm larvae.
