In contrast to our explanation, Graña and Acerenza [ 20] proposed a model in which the parallel increases in cell size and growth rate of these long-term populations were both consequences of diverting intracellular resources from unnecessary physiological functions to those that enhanced performance in the glucose-only regime.
Thus DR may act by upregulating damage prevention, repair, and turnover processes, while the elevation to damage that occurs during increased physical activity may be a consequence of diverting resources, such as the ATP/ADP ratio, away from these processes.
Yet the furor of a raging river does not mean that its depredations are beyond human control: before the rains come, it is possible to take precautions to divert the worst consequences of the natural elements.
These differences in threshold duration have important management consequences: water users diverting from headwaters may acquire water over much shorter periods than those users diverting from sites farther downstream, potentially resulting greater pumping rates and causing adverse ecosystem impacts beyond those expected by small-scale projects.
As absurd as it sounds, Goodell's hysterically draconian response to the Patriots really did serve the integrity of the game, because it's the only offense on the horizon that involves the actual game while diverting attention from all the consequences of the game after the whistle blows.
Burkeman cites several corporations that have abandoned goal-setting, after finding goal-odicy often had unintended consequences, such as diverting resources away from other important work and ignoring (or even covering up) evidence of failure.
Diverting voters from the human and financial consequences of the Iraq war, the faltering economy and health care by raising fears of same-sex marriage, gun control and abortion has worked for Republicans in the past.
It's difficult to judge what will ultimately have worse consequences for agriculture and human health: spreading the contaminants in modern sewage sludge on soil or diverting sewage's nutrients away from land.
One of the consequences of switching to a European style of farming was that it increased the likelihood of diverting valuable food crops away from human consumption in order to feed the novel livestock.
Hydrocephalus most commonly occurs as a consequence of obstructed CSF outflow, and is routinely treated by insertion of a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt diverting the excessive fluid from the ventricles into the peritoneal cavity in the abdomen8.
When it comes to healthcare, that could mean diverting a critically ill patient to a more distant hospital on account of expected patients who never actually arrive — with very real consequences.
