Despite the risk for HIV infection, women are less likely to benefit from existing behavioral and biomedical HIV prevention interventions due to social, cultural and economic barriers [2].
Therefore, an improved cooking method that is different from existing practices has less appeal wherever the people using traditional cookstoves are bound to follow the existing practices because of economic, social, and religious constraints [26].
We only track the time needed to reach points which are less than 5 lattice units away from existing lichens (in that way, we follow a method similar to the principles of Huygens wave propagation, where the lichen front represents the wave front and the distance map represents the secondary point waves).
Women who were public patients were less likely to seek help, especially from existing support groups, than were private patients.
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, asthma, and legionellosis are less common, and it is difficult from existing studies to estimate the incidence of these more severe illnesses.
What may be less known is that it appears from existing case law as though the standard for obtaining informed consent in the research context is higher than in the therapeutic context.
Because active, population-based surveillance for invasive pneumococcal disease is accurate but resource intensive, we compared the proportion of penicillin-nonsusceptible isolates obtained from existing antibiograms, a less expensive system, to that obtained from 1 year of active surveillance for Georgia, Tennessee, California, Minnesota, Oregon, Maryland, Connecticut, and New York.
We, on the other hand, had a research question which was simultaneously less likely to be literally answerable from existing studies (from our searches of the wider literature on volunteers in palliative care settings we were not expecting to find studies which had focused specifically on how the volunteer role was understood) and was relatively tightly defined.
It is less problematic when data can be collected from existing databases.
Still, a number of the museums that shut temporarily had a choice: to do less extensive renovations or build new facilities away from existing ones.
