If GPs are able to build the communication skills, which take the latter influences into account, into their routine consultations, long term competence and performance have to be monitored, since maintenance of acquired communication skills is difficult.
We evaluated the effect of short-term exposures to a xenobiotic chemical during early life-history stages on the long-term immune competence of chinook salmon (Oncoryhnchus tshawytscha).
This tree then serves as a framework against which we characterize the long-term evolution of competence genes and of DNA uptake specificity.
"EBay must articulate a clear long-term positioning and core competence, and use that to guide its acquisition strategy".
Kids develop long-term social and emotional competence through daily repetition and practice of skills.
A recent study showed that a short-term exposure of very early life-stage chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, to organic contaminants induced long-term effects on immune competence (1 year after treatment) in the absence of any effects on growth and reproduction (Milston et al. 2003).
There is no doubt that developing simulation models on which trainees can practice their skills would be beneficial for their long-term acquisition of required competences, in order to become safe and efficient surgeons [ 12, 13].
In the short term, firm exhibit innovativeness; in the medium term, they exhibit different levels of innovative performance and in the long-term, different levels of innovative competence (Carayannis and Provance 2007).
Immobilization leads to rapid loss of bone mass and mechanical competence, and long-term immobilization or repeated periods of short-term immobilization can have serious skeletal consequences and may lead to increased fracture liability.
In this experiment, a brief period of exposure to o,p-DDE or DMSO during early development was able to induce long-term effects on humoral immune competence of chinook salmon.
The relative importance to be given to activities of the Organization in the several fields of its competence, the long-term policies to be adopted within these different fields of activity, and the priorities to be followed in deciding upon different projects in these fields, with special reference to the considerations set out in the introduction to the Program of Work.
