In our study, serum amyloid P-component-like was highly induced after LPS injection (∼2.6-fold), fasting (∼23-fold), and salinity (∼156-fold) challenges, but down-regulated after Vibrio infection (>100-fold).
It therefore comes as little surprise that the country faces the two-fold challenge of improving both the health and housing of millions: challenges which are interdependent.
The incidence of twin births has climbed more than 55percentt over the last 20 years, and department stores are now packaging some baby supplies to meet the two-fold challenge.
For companies in the food, beverage and tobacco sectors, climate change presents a two-fold challenge: the industry is highly exposed to climate-related impacts, but is at the same time a major contributor to increasing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions levels – particularly from agricultural production, which according to the IPCC causes 10-14% of global GHG emissions.
Biodiversity can be viewed as primarily capturing the two-fold challenge of unknown variety, having unknown value.
The Initiative underlines the role of soil organic matter (SOM) in addressing the three-fold challenge of food and nutritional security, adaptation to climate change and mitigation of human-induced greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions.
In private sector, indeterminate uncertainty seems to entail a two-fold challenge: While it is generally problematic to grasp the impacts of an innovation during early-phase R&D (the Collingridge dilemma), innovators are nevertheless expected to quickly yield tangible results.
Interference speech and diffuse noise present double folds of challenges for hands-free automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech communication.
Passive immunization of BALB/c mice with 75 µg of 11B7 protected against a 150 fold lethal challenge of F. tularensis LVS.
It is not clear if these distortions occur because of the force field instability for this small fold [similar challenge has been previously discussed (Kadirvelraj et al. 2008)].
Moreover, consistent with a role in responding to LatA induced damage to the cell division machinery, the protein levels of all three regulators increase 2 3 fold upon challenge with the drug.
