In the past four years, these companies have sold nearly one-fifth of the land in the Northern Forest to financial investors and other timber companies, and to a much lesser extent, conservation groups, according to the institute's statistics.
In this investigation the authors examine consumer attitudes toward complying with a persuasive water conservation program, the extent to which those attitudes predict compliance, and the influence of environmental contextual factors on outdoor water use.
Nor do I think there is any basis for concluding that individual citizens of the State will recognize the need for and act to promote energy conservation to the extent the government deems appropriate, if only the channels of communication are left open.
However, as HDACs show differential levels of evolutionary conservation [33], the extent to which these studies will inform drug development in man has yet to be demonstrated.
During evolution, the loop-proximal part on their precursor stem-loops may degenerate in sequence and/or structural conservation to different extent.
Furthermore, questions regarding differing radio therapy regimens, breast conservation or mastectomy, extent of radiotherapy and differences in systemic therapy may all have a bearing on outcomes but were clearly beyond the remit of this study [ 1].
These data suggest that polar auxin transport is a conserved regulator of sporophyte development, but the extent of conservation between the sporophyte and gametophyte generation is unclear.
In a previous study we showed that, out of 513 novel intergenic sRNAs detected in P. aeruginosa PAO1, the sequences of 88% of the sRNAs are not conserved outside P. aeruginosa, indicating that the extent of conservation in other Pseudomonas species is limited [ 33].
In our approach, for the queries whose structure is not yet available and homology modeling is unreliable due to relationship distance, a simple amino acid conservation-based scoring scheme is adopted that objectively measures the extent of conservation of functionally important residues (please see 'Scoring of query sequences' within the Methods section for details).
How does the extent of conservation translate into function or survivability, since a higher conservation rate would suggest less tolerance for mutations?
We found each pair of these transcript classes to be significantly different in their extent of conservation (p < 2.2e-16, Wilcoxon rank sum test) with median conservation scores 0.67, 0.76, and 0.13 for known, partially novel and completely novel transcript groups respectively.
