However, FKBP5 methylation of these five CpG sites could not be validated as a valuable clinical biomarker for biological long-term effects of childhood maltreatment or lifetime depression.
These percentages were estimated as 85%, 92% and 87% from the short-term biological, long-term biological and abiotic control experiments, respectively.
This measured ε18OSO2−4 H2O value was then used to estimate the oxygen isotope fractionation effects (ε18OSO2−4 O2) between sulfate and dissolved oxygen in the aerobic experiments which were −10.0‰, −10.8‰, and −9.8‰ for the short-term biological, long-term biological and abiotic control experiments, respectively.
In order to improve understanding of the response of soil microbial communities to shifts in agricultural management programs, a two year field study was conducted on large-scale conventional, low-input and organic fields associate with the Kellogg Biological Station, Long Term Ecological Research site near Kalamazoo, MI.
But, Kim notes, researchers still have to work out how to connect "the abiotic part with the biotic part" — the synthetic with the biological — over the long term.
We demonstrate the benefits of combining chemical and biological controls in long term management strategies through a case study of the hemlock wooly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) infestation in the eastern United States.
Adult height is a useful biological measure of long term population health and well being.
Further studies are needed to identify the underlying causal biological mechanisms and long term consequences.
Therefore, there is a need in stress research for biological markers reflecting long term and extended exposure to stress.
Biological Target Reference Point (TRP) - Biological reference point indicating long term objectives (or targets), for the management of a fishery, taking into consideration the best possible catch and ensuring the conservation of the stock.
This comparison further highlights the potential this material has for long term biological imaging applications.
