A central observation is the importance of embodiment for the emergence of intelligent behaviour [39].
A central observation of our in vitro study is that DEHP caused no deleterious effects.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.03255.010 A central observation of the present study is that there is a transient increase in temperature sensitivity of Kv channels, which occurs when the voltage-sensor is partially decoupled from the activation gate.
The central observation to emerge from the present study is that the chronic adaptation of the Jurkat T J16 cells to high concentrations of H2O2 provokes a series of adaptive responses both at the basal and the "oxidant-induced" levels, allowing cells to withstand high doses of H2O2 that would otherwise be lethal to the cells.
His central observation, that American capitalism is facing a crisis, is unquestionably correct.
Daily meteorological data from a central monitoring station were obtained from the Bureau of Meteorology, which consisted of observations of daily mean temperature (calculated as the average of the daily minimum and maximum temperatures) and humidity.
All behavioural observations were made blind to experimental condition (Breeding Protocol) and, where required, recorded from a central overhead camera, which was attached to computerised tracking and event-recording software, EthoVision® ver.3.1 (Noldus, Netherlands).
We deployed four LT-OBSs at a distance of about 8 km from a central crater of Nishinoshima where water depths are about 1400 m and a LT-OBS at a distance of about 13 km (the first-term observation).
In the week Gordon Brown announced he will stand down from his Westminster constituency at the May 2015 general election, two central observations come to mind.
One of his central observations about life and experience, from which he is able to derive many of the philosophical distinctions that follow, is that we live in a "broken world".
