Because such a compensation structure would expose executives to a broader fraction of the negative consequences of risks taken, it will reduce their incentives to take excessive risks.
Even though most of the SNPs are of no biological significance or meaning, a fraction of the substitutions have functional consequence and these variations are the basis for the diversity found among humans [ 3].
Even though only a fraction of the paternal genome suffers these consequences, the resulting embryonic mitosis is catastrophic and results in highly penetrant developmental arrest.
As a consequence, the fraction of the non-air (blood and tissue) component was smaller in COPD subjects than in HV.
But more precise knowledge of the economic value of those ecosystem services that can easily be valuated "would not, in itself, provide insight into what fraction of the benefit would be lost in consequence of a given type or degree of ecosystem disruption," according to the PCAST report.
Basing the social insurance system on the idea of offering paid activity rather than paid leisure obviously has the consequence that a significant fraction of the workforce is actually "activated" from time to time.
With increasing quorum threshold the scope for parasitism by non-cooperators becomes smaller and as a consequence a larger fraction of the population will consist of cooperators, as long as neighborhoods sufficiently often contain at least a quorum of cooperators.
As a consequence, only a fraction of the cells analyzed contains CENP-C on chromatin, which limits the dynamic range of ChIP signal that is achievable.
As a consequence, an increasing fraction of the positive QPPs is no longer recognized as such, and blends in with an increasing number of false positive QPPs.
As a consequence, a large fraction of the population is at risk to develop a broad range of common, life-threatening diseases including non-insulin dependent diabetes, various hyperlipidemias, high blood pressure and atherosclerosis.
But those changes amount to a small fraction of the overall speed of light, so that the consequences are "not very exciting," Dr. Leonhardt said.
