"The easiest way to convey the importance of basic research is to think of the construction of a house: a solid foundation is the key to having a safe and long-lasting structure.
Blueprints carried a warning (as do their modern, digital, equivalents) reminding architects and engineers not to take measurements directly from them, but to look elsewhere for the necessary details to construct a stable, safe and long-lasting structure.

However, in a relatively stable environment such as along the Fall River, muskat burrows and houses tend to be long-lasting structures, making acute changes in population difficult to detect by these methods.
Chronic pain produces long-lasting structural abnormalities.
These changes range from reversible alterations in gene expression and cell hypertrophy with preservation of cellular domains and tissue structure, to long lasting scar formation with rearrangement of tissue structure (Sofroniew, 2009; Sofroniew and Vinters, 2010).
While pregnancy does lead to long lasting changes in brain structure, whether it's from baby radar is hard to know, mostly because baby radar isn't an official medical definition or diagnosis.
This study, by showing that long lasting proteinuria, disorganisation of podocyte structure and phenotype change of tubular epithelium can be reversed supports the notion that chronic renal disease can be efficiently treated.
One prominent result is Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) with its steel-like compressive strength which allows for slender but nevertheless very long lasting and thus sustainable concrete structures.
As spatial structures are long lasting, planning decisions determine the energy consumption of society in the long term and include, inter alia, the choice of a site, the determination of the infrastructure, the building densities aspired, the energy standards and the construction materials of buildings as well as the energy sources and energy provision technology.
