So the idea that it can quantified on a simple scale is appealing; it gives the impression that an elusive aspect of behaviour can be pinned down.No wonder, then, that the annual corruption perceptions index (CPI), which orders countries according to the perceived degree of graft, is closely watched.
However, a clear role for l-lactate in behaviour remains elusive.
Mobula rays' elusive nature and skittish behaviour in front of divers has made them difficult to observe in the wild, except when they breach the water.
A clear understanding of the trends in drinking behaviour remains elusive, because studies have generally not disentangled cohort and age effects in their data (but see [7– 10]).
The evolutionary origin of such enigmatic behaviour, however, remains elusive because of the uncertain phylogenetic position of freshwater eels within the principally marine anguilliforms.
Overall the molecular diversity of mammalian PI5P4Ks explains much of their properties and behaviour, but their physiological functionality remains elusive.
In some places, state power is exercised, brutally but effectively, by whoever is top dog in a perpetual contest between kleptocrats or warlords whose behaviour is lawless in every sense.If definitions are elusive, what about degrees of state failure?
A clear SPM behaviour is observed where coercive forces and remanence are elusive.
However, like others who felt confident that the different socio-economic profiles of Port Adelaide and Mitcham were linked to living conditions and therefore to health behaviours and outcomes, the precise mechanics of these connections remained elusive.
While the precise motivations behind hidden altruism in this context remain elusive, it seems likely that individuals hide donations when these donations violate established norms of behaviour.
