After booking a $709 million one-off gain on restructuring and posting profits of $333 million for the year, Toll's chief financial officer declared that the company has an "enormous capacity" for acquisitions.
Asked whether Shazam plans to use some of its financing to speed expansion by making acquisitions, Fischer said: "We now have a very strong balance sheet and have the capacity for acquisitions if we believe they will add significant value to the Shazam Community".
In essence, mindfulness – being about attention, awareness, relationality, and caring – is a universal human capacity akin to our capacity for language acquisition.
Octavian is being provided with a first-class education to help the collegians determine his capacity "for the acquisition of the noble arts and sciences" and divine whether he and his people are "a separate and distinct species".
The WP3 genome contains genes or gene clusters which enhance its capacity for nutrient acquisition, energy production, macromolecule synthesis and protein function under deep-sea conditions.
Regardless of subset, DCs are collectively set apart from other cell types by an exquisite capacity for antigen acquisition and T cell stimulation.
One explanation is the intracellular habitat that limits the capacity for gene acquisition by lateral gene transfer (LGT) [ 13, 21- 23].
We show that, under constrained conditions, line LP has a greater capacity for resource acquisition than line V, which prevents excessive mobilization of body reserves.
Trade-offs between an energy-efficient strategy for nutrient conservation, with a high capacity for resource acquisition under harsh conditions, will likely drive future shifts in functional traits and species composition across the gradient (Choler 2005).
Both density and length of root hairs are also increased when plants are grown on a low Pi supply (Bates and Lynch, 1996; Gahoonia and Nielsen, 1997; Brown et al., 2012), thus increasing the capacity for Pi acquisition.
Although the molecular mechanisms of beneficial endophyte-host plant interactions are largely unknown, several studies have demonstrated that endophytes can promote plant growth by enhancing the plant's capacity for nutrient acquisition, better water management, and/or resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses via regulation of hormones [ 12- 14, 20, 21].
