I do think that technology has increased our ability to maintain weak ties with people, and that has value.
Over a vast expanse of time, we mastered fire, increased our ability to coöperate with one another, and, almost incredibly, invented language.
Adding interviews with patients increased our ability to classify pain but did not improve overall interrater reliability.
BACKGROUND: Next-generation sequencing technologies have greatly increased our ability to identify gene expression levels, including at specific developmental stages and in specific tissues.
Recent insights into NLR function suggest a number of reasons for these difficulties and new techniques have increased our ability to identify effective NLRs.
It appears that careful timing of the synoptic baseflow sampling under comparable phenological and hydrometeorological conditions increased our ability to identify a forest disturbance signal.
Thus, the use of both indices in this paper increased our ability to associate anomalies with geomagnetic phenomena.
Whole exome sequencing (WES) has increased our ability to analyze large parts of the human genome, bringing with it a plethora of ethical, legal, and social implications.
The availability of STEREO and SDO observations increased our ability to visualize the CME-shock system and understand the shock formation and coronal plasma properties.
Importantly, advances in the field of pharmacogenomics have greatly increased our ability to prevent ADR events by determining patients' genetic markers [6, 7].
