It is profoundly unjust and immoral to pretend to be trying to reduce poverty for those struggling to survive -- including 16 million children -- and cutting the very programs enabling them to survive in a hostile economy, cutting the very programs that help ensure the next generation's adults won't be scarred by a childhood of deprivation.
In Frank Herbert's science fiction classic "Dune," a desert tribe known as the Fremen wear special clothing, called stillsuits, which recycle the body's water, enabling them to survive in an almost waterless environment.
The findings were published online last week by The Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Symbiont shuffling like this, the researchers say, provides a degree of thermal protection for the coral — enabling them to survive water temperature increases of 2 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit.
The multicellular structure of the biofilm makes it possible for the bacteria concerned to undergo dormancy and hibernation, enabling them to survive and to disseminate their genomes.
Biofilms also display unique properties, such as multidrug tolerance and resistance to both opsonization and phagocytosis, enabling them to survive in hostile environmental conditions and to resist selective pressures [4].
For example, bacteria constructs biofilms by excreting scaffolding in the form of extracellular polymeric substances, enabling them to survive disinfectants.
This feature may have contributed to the evolutionary success of polyploids over diploids in the Arctic enabling them to survive dramatic shifts in climate (Brochmann et al. 2004).
The question, whether pathogens regularly reside in deep tissues or colonize them after trauma, as well as how they can affect and are affected by host immune cells enabling them to survive without induction of inflammation, remains unanswered.
These organisms would have entered the stomach as a bolus with the enhanced acid tolerance enabling them to survive the gastric acid and subsequently greater potential to colonise and infect the neonate.
