Before Friday's ambush, which killed two members of Togo's national soccer delegation and the driver of their team bus, the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (Flec) had been assumed to be in gradual decline, riven by divisions and reduced to as few as 200 fighters.
Given such divisions, a gradual resolution of differences may be the best Palestinians can hope for.Reaching a full-blown power-sharing agreement requires the backing of more powerful forces, including the Palestinian security men and the foreign backers who pay for them.
The shift between these two task divisions is gradual as is common in honeybee polyethism, starting at an age of about 24 hours and being finished at about 5 days (Fig. 4).
The slow growth of Nigel Farage's party from just under 100,000 votes in 1997 to almost a million in 2010 (with spectacular Euro-election results in between) has been gradual proof that the division of the centre-right over the EU is deepening – its worst fissure since the Tory divisions over protection at the turn of the last century.
The headline announcement is the gradual ending of the division between the privately owned train operating companies and the government-controlled Network Rail (NR), which is responsible for the tracks.
This involves a process of bone division and gradual distraction, usually with an external fixator, to create "regenerate" bone.
Combined open plus private acceptance of evolution within biology majors increased with seniority, from freshman (60.7%) to seniors (81%), presumably due to gradual exposure to upper-division biology courses with evolutionary content.
Gradual exposure to upper-division biology courses with evolutionary content among biology majors might explain their increasing acceptance of evolution from freshman to senior year at both institutions (see notes Table 1).
Gradual exposure to upper-division biology courses with evolutionary content might explain this trend (i.e., freshman—Introductory Biology; sophomore Anatomy and Physiology, Animal Behavior, Conservation Biology; junior Ichthyology, Marine Vertebrate Biology, Genetics; senior Ecology, Phycology, Developmental Biology; Table 1).
The progress from normal health through the MS to overt DM is arguably a gradual evolution, and its division into distinct steps is probably artificial.
