Although the Phanerozoic Eon represents only about the last one-eighth of time since the Earth's crust formed, its importance far exceeds its relatively short duration, because the eon is characterized by the rapid evolution of life, sometimes through cataclysmic mass extinction events, and other challenges.
Conventional design and optimization methods are being challenged by the rapid evolution of electronic and optical communication networks.
Generally speaking, however, when it comes to proposals for new, particular biobanking models (prompted by the rapid evolution of this field due to its enormous potential), a problem still remains.
Developments within interventional oncology are well illustrated by the rapid evolution, in the last 20 years, of tissue ablative technologies - which destroy cancerous tumours in situ - such as radiofrequency ablation (using heat to destroy cancer cells), microwave ablation (which uses electromagnetic waves) or cryoablation (freezing tissue).
These challenges are influ- enced by the rapid evolution of the web ecosystem composed by web technologies (e.g., HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript), user agents (e.g., web browsers) and devices (e.g., smart phones, tablets, televisions), and by the usage of the aforementioned technologies by users with different requirements, preferences and context of use.
Fast changes in heterochromatic DNA can be accompanied by the rapid evolution of heterochromatic proteins.
By contrast to the rapid evolution of casein genes previously put forth [ 39], milk protein genes in general seemed to evolve more slowly than others in the bovine genome, despite selective breeding for milk production.
The decomposition process was characterized by the following events: 1) an induction period followed by H2O evaporation, 2) the rapid evolution of N2O, NO, and HNO3, which supported a fast occurrence of proton transfer, and 3) the formation of NO2, most likely from HNO3, in the later stage of the decomposition.
Recently, we concluded that skeletal genes demonstrated high population differentiation driven by positive selection, supporting the rapid evolution of skeletal system [17].
The first two reports were dominated by climate sciences, reflected in the rapid evolution of broad-scale modelling throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Second, this floral scent novelty leads to the acquisition of a novel pollinator "niche" by hybrids that can drive the rapid evolution of reproductive isolation between the hybrids and their parents.
