Possible environmental consequences of introgression of transgenes into wild or feral population include increased invasiveness as a result of a fitness enhancing trait such as insect resistance (Snow et al. [2003]; Samuels [2013]), reduced capacity for co-existence of GM and non-GM crops (Marvier and van Acker [2005]) and hampering future breeding efforts (Bauer-Panskus et al. [2013]).
It's now being finally recognized that there are more long-term processes like environmental destruction leading in the same direction, maybe not to total destruction, but at least to the destruction of the capacity for a decent existence.
We found that policymakers and researchers perceived a strong institutional capacity for KT, the existence of research partnerships and the characteristics of the actual research as the most important facilitating factors for improving KT.
As such, these findings would support the capacity for the ongoing existence of a set of robust and enduring motor neurons, likely related to sufficient SMN protein to provide physiological function.
We need to focus on the good that we do while remembering our capacity for sin and the existence of evil in the world.
What triggered the fantastically complex suite of features — long legs, hands with short fingers, feet unable to grasp things, prolonged childhood dependency, large brain size, coöperative social existence, capacity for symbolic thought, and many more — that characterize humans?
Ultimately there is no gap for him between the yearning for full participation in the world (including in God) and the world itself, since we owe our very existence and capacity for participation to the ultimate origin of this world.
As everyone from Thomas Huxley to Richard Dawkins has pointed out, human morality gives us a capacity to rise above the struggle for existence.
"Welsh theatre has a remarkable capacity for talking things out of existence," says director Michael Bogdanov, whose Swansea-based Walso Theatre Company has also been dubbed "the Welsh National Theatre-in-waiting".
While such observations support a role for microbial endocrinology interactions in the pathogenesis of infectious disease, it would be reasonable to argue that in the context of host homeostasis that the existence and capacity for such neuroendocrine-microbiota interactions serves a much larger, and evolutionarily relevant, function.
The fundamental claim is that, whatever we are essentially, it is clear that one of us has gone out of existence once the capacity for consciousness has been irreversibly lost, supporting the higher-brain standard of death.
