Finally, we consider the long-term sensitivity of the region to rapid climate change, the role of threshold changes, and the extent to which this region represents a "fragile" landscape.
Cox et al. [ 2013] developed a novel approach for constraining the long-term sensitivity of tropical carbon stocks to warming in ESMs using contemporary atmospheric CO2 and temperature observations.
In addition, the proposed nanocomposite platform presented good reproducibility, high and long term stability, the sensitivity for pyoverdine remain unchanged after being stored at 4 °C for four weeks.
Film read out consistency, response uniformity, film-scanner sensitivity, long term stability and total dose uncertainty was evaluated.
Under hydrodynamic mode of operation (FIA) the sensor displays fast response, high sensitivity, long term stability and good selectivity for NO3− in the presence of many common associated anions.
An analysis from the Whitehall II study reveals that the pancreatic β-cell can compensate in the long term for declining insulin sensitivity in the metabolic syndrome stage before break down after ~10 12 years (28).
In this study, we selected a behavioral measure of interoceptive sensitivity (heartbeat detection task, HBD) to compare the effect of meditation practice on interoceptive sensitivity among long term practitioners (LTP), short term meditators (STM, subjects that completed a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program) and controls (non-meditators).
Chronic constipation is associated with long term problems including megarectum, reduced sensitivity of the rectum to the presence of faeces, and abnormal gut motility.
It has been shown that modified electrode can be used as a sensor with high reproducibility, sensitivity, selectivity, and long term stability.
Our results suggested that the metabolic responses of weaned pigs were tightly regulated by dietary starch compositions, and long-term ingestion of a high amylopectin ratio starch is able to produce a prolonged rise in serum insulin concentration which may be detrimental to whole body insulin sensitivity in the long term.
