We expect species to respond by increasing or decreasing in density within their existing range, by expanding or contracting the extent of their range, or by a combination of both.
One problem is that today's capitalism has contracted to an extent that is hard to ignore.
This WLR was significantly lower than the pre-anoxia rate (t = 4.67, P = 10−5), and indicates that the spiracle constrictor muscles were contracted to their maximum extent (though, as noted above, the spiracles could not be completely closed) in order to minimize WLRs.
Correlating with this finding, collagen gel lattices harbouring ATMCs subcultured in BMe+50EGF contracted in significantly higher extent (P<0.01) than did collagen gel lattices containing equal numbers of ATMCs subcultured in BMe (Supplementary Figure 6b).
China's revival widens the Chinese people's representation of the world but it also expands a world-system which has been, to a certain extent, contracting for more than five centuries.
NS and SMJ were also contracted, albeit to a lesser extent, under the IHPResults contract with WHO.
Table 2 outlines the trends in the size of each employment sector in Ontario between 1999 and 2007, and the extent to which the sector expanded or contracted.
He discovered the depressor and accelerator nerves of the heart and, with the American physiologist Henry Bowditch, formulated (1871) the "all-or-none law" of cardiac muscle action, stating that the heart muscle, under whatever stimulus, will contract to the fullest extent or not at all.
However, cells exposed to low levels of antigen become imprinted with a distinct long-term differentiation program: such cells do not expand and consequently do not contract to the same extent, while they primarily survive as CM cells (Fig. 7).
When fully dilated it will maximise sensitivity, but on the surface may contract to such an extent that rods may not fully bleach.
Secondly, to the extent that corruption remains institutionalised in existing government contracts, Libya will continue to unnecessarily overpay for the contracted goods and services.
