Monotonic quadratic regression models were constructed for these 50 species by using species counts as the dependent variable and the proportion of human conversion of the landscape (residential, agriculture, and commercial/industrial land uses) within each study area as the independent variable.
God, but also the saints in Heaven, who would deeply appreciate the wonder of human conversion, especially the conversion of those they knew and loved on earth.
When the human conversion factor is published, we will provide a separate spreadsheet for automatic conversion of human islets to cell counts at the same URL.
We estimated the increase over baseline response that would occur in the human population from estimated ambient concentrations of acrolein, taken from the U.S. EPA's National-Scale Air Toxics Assessment for 1999, after standard animal-to-human conversions and extrapolating to doses below the experimental data.
In humans, conversion of ALA and LA into their metabolites is extremely low and several factors, including age, gender, immune state, alcohol, and smoking, may influence LA and ALA metabolism.
For animals including humans, conversion of pro-vitamin-A carotenoids to retinal is essential to health, and the hydroxyl-carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin) function to protect the central retina from photo-oxidative damage (see more details in reviews).
The findings corroborate that human-driven conversions of forest covers have deleterious effects on biodiversity conservation in the upstream area of the Minjiang River.
Brazilian seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are endangered because of human occupation, conversion of lands to agriculture and high deforestation rates in these fertile soils.
In most human societies, conversion has been seen as an act whose consequences are as much social and political as spiritual; and it has been assumed that the wider community, in the form of the family, the village or the state, has every right to take an interest in the matter.
Under Decision 11/CP.7, the UNFCCC defined deforestation as: "the direct, human induced conversion of forested land to non-forested land".
Thus, we postulated that additional transcriptional regulators might be needed to promote human ductal conversion toward a β-cell fate.
