This suggests that lifelong musical training may confer advantages for an older population in two everyday human functions that are known to decline with age.
As well as potentially reducing LOS, these are intended to confer advantages for patients, including faster recovery and fewer complications.
Metabolic alteration is one of the important characters in cancer cells, which confers advantages for survival and proliferation of cancer cells.
Thus, in at least some cell types constitutive activation of the HIF system is not only tolerated, but confers advantages for tumour cell growth.
This study tested whether, in low-light environments, the marked difference in the morphology of seedling leaves that characterizes heteroblastic species confers advantages for seedling survival and growth compared with homoblastic congeners.
Comparison of these events with those recorded in the recent pollen developmental mutants in Arabidopsis indicates that several failures during tetrad dissolution may convert to a common recurring phenotype that has evolved independently several times, whenever this grouping conferred advantages for pollen transfer.
These interim results suggest that routine iron prophylaxis during pregnancy did not confer advantage over screening and treatment for anaemia regarding maternal and child health.
This supports the notion that robustness confers advantage for evolvability.
Our results, based on three birds, suggest that foraging in association with vessels does not confer an advantage for chick feeding for this population that demonstrated low rates of overlap while foraging.
This on/off switch offers the advantage of not requiring additional accessory proteins such as kinases for phosphorylation, and so can confer an advantage for fine-tuning spatial and temporal regulation that may not be otherwise possible.
