The capacity of pastoral communities to adapt to changing ecological conditions is compromised by their diminished economic and political standing and hence marginalisation.
Otherwise, the effectiveness of treatments for chronic conditions is compromised by suboptimal adherence, compliance and persistence with treatment in general, and in asymptomatic diseases, in particular (Christensen et al 1997; Miller 1997; Benner et al 2002).
Cholera can strike anywhere when sanitary conditions are compromised and the causative agent is present.
Incubations for longer than 6 h were not performed, as the cell viability for the serum-free incubation conditions were compromised under those conditions even in the absence of FFSNPs (data not shown).
It is likely that PCR product formation under such conditions was compromised by the presence of inhibitors present in blood (e g. hemoglobin), concurrently with inadequate strand separation due to higher GC content and/or formation of secondary structures reflecting Hoogsteen base pairing between successive guanosine bases.
Swimming performance is the behavioral trait perhaps most universally affected when animals are stressed and condition of fish is compromised (Webb and Brett 1973; Wedemeyer et al. 1990), with impairments in performance a good predictor of survival (Thomas et al. 1964).
Under inflammatory conditions BBB function is compromised and can aggravate neuronal dysfunction [3].
Increasingly, there is evidence suggesting that patient care, especially for those with time-sensitive conditions [ 3], is compromised during weekends and that patients become unnecessarily vulnerable on weekends.
In this respect, Wang et al (2001) also have shown that HR did not measurably contribute to the removal of radiation-induced Dsb, even under conditions where NHEJ is compromised.
While astrocytes could be expected to clear most of the glutamate exported by microglia under normal conditions, this function is compromised by ROS (Harris et al., 1996; Trotti et al., 1998) or pro-inflammatory cytokines (Kim et al., 2003; Korn et al., 2005).
