In general, long-term pre-agriculture rates of vertical accretion between about 10,000 and 200 years ago averaged about 0.2 mm yr− 1 in tributary watersheds smaller than about 700 km2 and about 0.9 mm yr− 1 on the floodplain of the upper Mississippi River where the contributing watershed area increases to about 170,000 km2.
In general, long-term isolation can only be confidently assumed when spatially concordant patterns across multiple unlinked loci are found [ 29, 32].
In general, long-term airway complications such as laryngeal stenosis are uncommon enough to be considered reportable events, and often occur in the presence of additional airway insults, such as inhalation injury [ 20].
In general, long-term low and moderate alcohol consumption does not seem to affect the survival of breast cancer patients (Flatt et al. 2010; Harris et al. 2012; Kwan et al. 2012; Newcomb et al. 2013).
In general, long-term adherence is an important measure of patient behavior towards the prescribed therapy and lower adherence rates (<80 %) have been shown to be associated with higher healthcare utilization and costs [ 37– 37].
In general, long-term prospects for fair-trade bananas do not seem very good unless most of the fair-trade bananas brought on the European market are also organic.
In general, long-term important tasks are much easier to complete if you take a piecemeal approach, tackling each segment on its own before moving on to the next.
Understanding the mechanisms of degradation of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) is required for their use in molecular devices and in general in long term applications.
In order to improve the system performance in terms of capacity and/or coverage, relays have been proposed to OFDMA-based systems in general and long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) systems in particular [1].
Based on qualitative interviews with physicians and nursing staff, this study therefore examines factors that influence antibiotic prescribing in general in long-term care facilities in the Netherlands, where prevalence of antibiotic prescribing is high compared to ambulatory care settings and average in comparison with long-term care facilities in other European countries [ 24, 25].
