Lewis has no use for birds — "I hate birds, because they hate me," he once said — but he felt that the presence on the Peabody's staff of Ripley, a man who gets around, might give a beneficial fillip to the museum, most of whose curators don't get around.
Moreover, such surrogate cerebral MR biomarkers could give a beneficial contribution to future clinical trials.
Our hypotheses were (1) a CO2 pneumoperitoneum induce the oxidative stress in dogs; (2) the low pressure pneumoperitoneum in dogs gives a beneficial effect on the oxidant-antioxidant status.
It has been reported that both stem and root extracts of M. repandus possessed a free radical scavenging activity, which could give a beneficial action against pathological alterations like edematous conditions [ 27].
However, genetic differences between individuals and populations may explain some of these discrepancies; some individuals may have a genetic setup giving a more beneficial MeHg metabolism, resulting in a faster MeHg-elimination [ 6, 7] and/or differences in capacity to detoxify reactive oxygen species induced by MeHg.
Multi-task learning is most beneficial given a task with few training compounds that is similar to a number of tasks with many training compounds, which span a diverging region of the chemical space.
This begs the question as to whether, if given a chance to evolve, beneficial mutations would accumulate at the hub in order to re-establish higher fitness.
For the first time, in the context of environmental cost benefit analysis, this work used cost benefit acceptability curves in order to capture the uncertainty around the estimated net benefit and to show the probability that intervention will be cost beneficial, given a range of clean-up policy costs and different degrees of effectiveness of remedial interventions.
We based calculations on an idealised circular culling area large enough to give an overall beneficial effect over the period from completion of the first proactive cull until effects were no longer detectable.
We further explored whether oral beta-blockers at discharge would give an additional beneficial effect on long term outcome.
