What is new is the rate of introduction and the extent of impact — 80percentt of world trade is conducted by ship, and a new marine invader is now recorded in the Mediterranean every four weeks.
Survival analyses (Life Tables) plots were used to illustrate the effect of age at pacifier introduction and the extent of pacifier use on breastfeeding duration.
For this evaluation, we aimed to understand the context in which the programme was implemented, the mechanisms used to effect its introduction and the extent to which its objectives were achieved.
As described in the Introduction, GCTA estimates the extent to which genetic variance captured by common genome-wide SNPs on a DNA array account for the variance of quantitative traits in unrelated individuals (Visscher et al., 2010; Yang et al., 2011).
After introduction of an advantageous mutation, the extent of heterogeneity decreases rapidly as the advantageous clone spreads through the population, but afterwards rebounds as neutral variation continues to be accumulated in this clone (Figs. 3 and 4).
Other studies that resulted in lower estimates of over-diagnosis were based on indirect observations of the numbers of cancers detected in a population, before and after the introduction of screening programmes, and the extent of over-diagnosis was probably underestimated.
Implementation factors included the extent that the introduction of an EMR into the practice was planned and carried out as a priority project with dedicated time and resources [ 52, 55, 62, 63].
The present study assessed the extent to which the introduction of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) of Down's syndrome may undermine the process of making informed choices to undergo prenatal testing or screening for Down's syndrome by altering the quality and quantity of pre-test counselling.
There have also been complaints about the reluctance of lenders to pass on rate changes, and about the extent to which the introduction and management of QE have risked politicising the committee.
Future research should explore experiences of mixed-feeding intenders over time and the extent to which early introduction of mixed-feeding impacts on how long a woman successfully continues breastfeeding.
