Not hard, relative to a two-year, 70% drubbing of ad revenue and 40% decline of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
In contrast, in our pMTG ROI, there was a main effect of both difficulty and feature type – i.e., pMTG showed greater activity for hard relative to easy trials, and for action decisions compared with visual decisions.
The advantages of fungi include easier colonization of fungal hyphae into the harder keratin relative to bacteria.
In the words of Ash Beckham: "Hard is not relative -- Hard is hard..
It is also a place that has produced, and still produces — despite hard times, relative isolation, and constant political upheaval — people of great talent and accomplishment, in just about every field.
Figure 5 shows the performance loss of the hard constraint (relative to the soft constrained case) in the same setups as those in Fig. 3.
Increases in neural activation and cortical networking were observed during the Hard condition relative to the Easy condition, thus supporting the psychomotor efficiency hypothesis.
Accounting for landscape-scale fragmentation, disturbances by avian predators were significantly more frequent at hard edges relative to interiors, but less frequent at soft edges.
The lower enthalpy in melting point of PU2000 (− 2.97 J g−1) compared to PU530 (− 44.68 J g−1) is an indication of greater crystallinity of PU530 hard segments relative to those of PU2000.
The fact that males reported more interest in and knowledge of evolution than females was not expected, but was not surprising given the multiple lines of research suggesting that males tend to be more interested in math and "hard" sciences relative to females (Eccles 1989).
