And then there's "a prolonged phase of gradually expanding cooperation with key Eurasian partners, both stimulated and arbitrated by America".
Since shorter IET are generally more likely than longer periods of quiescence, this also suggests that a bigger phreatic event is more likely within a few years after a phreatic explosion than during a prolonged quiet phase of the volcano.
These intriguing observations provoked us to interrogate this potential biomarker, which predictably increases in size and contrast enhancement during a prolonged expansion phase, followed by a sudden collapse.
A tumor initially sensitive to immunological control might have ample time to become more malignant through accumulation of hundreds of mutations during a prolonged equilibrium phase [ 37].
Because it is likely that the functional evolution of T cell subsets during the prolonged phase of MeV RNA clearance is important for eventual virus clearance, immune suppression and establishment of life-long protective immunity, we characterized cellular immune responses to MeV over a period of six months after infection of rhesus macaques with a wild type strain of MeV.
In contrast to the acute response, persistently low circulating levels of T3 during the prolonged phase of critical illness may be due to neuroendocrine dysfunction [ 18].
Because GH was administered during the acute phase of critical illness in the Takala et al. trial [ 26], one may argue that GH administration should be tested during the prolonged phase of critical illness.
Daels et al. [ 19] demonstrated that ovulation induced by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) during altrenogest treatment could lead to a prolonged luteal phase (5/6 of the mares that ovulated).
The Stahle-Cook paper in Eos suggests that the 16th-century megadrought could have been caused by a prolonged cooling phase in some areas of the Pacific.
Bamboo has a rather striking life history, characterized by a prolonged vegetative phase lasting decades before flowering, thereby inhibiting genetic improvement.
Since during physiological healing, after only 24 h the anti-inflammatory signalling increases, terminating the pro-inflammatory burst (Schmidt-Bleek et al. 2012b), this new inflammatory impulse could be equalized to a prolonged inflammation phase.
