Instead Brown may play a longer game and gamble that a Tory minority administration making unpopular spending cuts during a double-dip recession will rapidly lose support, raising the prospect of fighting an autumn election with his record for economic competence intact.
Logically, you can't be Secretary of the Treasury or Chairman of the Federal Reserve, precipitate an economic catastrophe, and emerge with your reputation for competence intact.
Only the sequenced genomes of H influenzae, A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. multocida and A. pleuropneumoniae retain fully intact sets of competence genes.
In the present study granuloma morphology was intact, which suggests relative immune competence, whereas poorly formed or absence of granulomas, as seen in the Noronha study, may indicate advanced immunosuppression [33].
Although several strains harbor an insertion of prophage A118 in the comK open reading frame, which encodes a transcriptional regulator of competence, comK is intact in L. marthii, L. innocua FSL J1-023 and FSL S4-378, and L. ivanovii subsp. londoniensis, as well as the previously sequenced L. monocytogenes F2365 and HCC23 genomes.
An extensive review [73] concluded that language competence appears to be intact in schizophrenia, and that the language problems reflect more general problems in information processing.
Beginning with Warrington (1975), many patients had been described that were more or less severely impaired in referential tasks such as naming from vision (and other perceptual modalities as well), while their inferential competence was more or less intact.
Inactivation of the Thermus traffic ATPase PilF led to a loss of competence although the pili remained intact [ 45].
The metabolic competence of a species relate to the number of intact metabolic genes present in its genome [ 10].
However, the two aspects are independent of each another, and neuropsychological evidence appears to show that they can be dissociated: there are patients whose referential competence is impaired or lost while their inferential competence is intact, and vice versa (see Section 5.3).
