In fact, there has been important methodological progress in collecting such data (Blane, 1996), and current research has shown promising findings (Börsch-Supan, Brandt, Hank, & Schröder, 2011; Börsch-Supan, Brandt, & Schroder, 2013).
There has also been important progress in the private sector.
Rather than monitoring for individual chemicals, TOF-MS has been important for the progress of biomonitoring in recent years by allowing researchers to monitor for tens of thousands of organic compounds at a time.
In the last years, there has been an important progress in the knowledge of several families of plant transcription factors linked to plant stress responses, such as responses to ultraviolet light, wounding, anaerobic stress, and pathogens [ 16].
But recently there has been some important progress in the form of an Israeli-Turkish agreement to normalize diplomatic relations signed last month.
In the last years, and because of the great interest for both basic and applied research, there has been an important progress in the understanding of the mechanisms and processes underlying abiotic stress adaptation and defense in different plant species [ 1, 2].
Although not discussed here, it is important to note that there has been considerable progress in developing synthetic cellular communication in eukaryotes such as mammalian cells and yeast, which has been surveyed in the literature [51],[51],[51].
All this is important progress.
There has been some progress in schools.
