His History of the Greco-Persian Wars is the longest extant text in ancient Greek.
There's the U.F.O.-themed Space Bar in Friedrichshain, behind the longest extant section of the Berlin Wall (Mühlenstrasse 63; 49-30-4606-84-91; www.space-beach.de).
On Benefits is the longest extant Senecan treatise on one specific ethical topic.
Before the papyri began to accrue, the longest extant passage of the Catalogue was known from the Shield of Heracles, the first 56 lines of which were borrowed from book 4 according to an ancient hypothesis to the Shield.
Indeed, in many countries, the standards document is considered to represent the unification of diverse disciplines and years of research on young children in those disciplines, therein assuaging the long-extant schism between health, care, and education.
Sheet pile test cells were used to isolate two adjacent segments of a long-extant groundwater plume containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) and their degradation by-products cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (c-DCE) and chloroethene (a.k.a. vinyl chloride or VC).
They also provide a fresh new perspective with which to consider published data and long-extant puzzles, as described below.
More recent cladograms depict the "xenusians"/Cambrian lobopodians (all of which are marine) as a grade of evolution rather than a natural group (Eriksson et al. 2003, Fig. 60; Liu et al. 2007), and their combination of characters offers outstanding potential for breaking up the long branch between extant onychophorans (which are entirely terrestrial) and arthropods.
Normand et al. [ 5] using the 4% divergence in the 16S rRNA between cluster 2 and other Frankia lineages as equivalent to 50MY/1%% distance [ 17] concluded that the genus Frankia had emerged long before the extant dicotyledonous lineages.
If the more difficult to detect ancient HT events occurred at frequencies similar to those observable in present day grasses, the extant long terminal repeat retrotransposons represent the mosaic products of HT and recombination that are optimized for retrotransposition in their host genomes.
