The genes of mice and human beings have been conserved by evolution, partly because changes to genes are lethal.
An important feature of our method is that total number of ions in the system is conserved by carefully imposing the boundary conditions, by utilizing a conservative discretization of the diffusive and, more importantly, the nonlinear migrative flux term.
We not only analysed the nucleotide conservation of LncRNAs, but also whether or not they were conserved by genomic position.
Water is conserved by reducing evaporative loss and by reducing excretory water loss.
Power can be conserved by leaving sensors in sleep mode most of the time; internal timers or network signals activate them only when they are needed to take a measurement or pass on a signal.
Gerton Lunter, a senior scientist on the team, said that based on the comparisons, 8.2% of human DNA was "functional", meaning that it played an important enough role to be conserved by evolution.
Energy is conserved by thus "turning down the thermostat," but the bat is rendered relatively unresponsive to threats by predators or weather.
Water is conserved by a variety of means including the cleaning and recycling of gray (previously used) water and the installation of building-by-building catchments for rainwater.
The experiments confirmed the 19th-century notion of willpower being like a muscle that was fatigued with use, a force that could be conserved by avoiding temptation.
Xeromorphic adaptations to arid conditions are quite varied and tend to prevent water loss during periods when water is limited and must be conserved by the plant.
