In effect Britain lost its capability to teach Kurdish when postgraduate funding for just one post dried up.
Therefore, Mars lost its capability to develop plate boundaries, which are necessary for the initiation of plate tectonics.
Anoxia accelerates eutrophication, because in low oxygen conditions, iron (Fe) is reduced and loses its capability to bind phosphorus (P) (e.g. Boström et al. 1982).
Particularly, when τ = f ADC/f sin = 200, the Bessel function in (16) will become J m ≡0 and the matching component function will lose its capability.
Arab News, Saudi Arabia's leading English-language newspaper, this week quoted Saudi officials as saying that AQAP, widely believed to be well advanced in its ability to target aircraft with explosives smuggled on board, had lost its capability to operate overseas.

Moreover, it is predicted to show a reduced binding of the C-terminal binding protein (CtBP) which hence loses its capability to repress TCF7L2 activity [ 17].
On the basis of the above observations, we hypothesize that after PDT, procaspase-3 may lose its capability to be processed by upstream caspase-8, or its processed product(s) of caspase-3 might lose their enzyme activity via covalent modifications elicited by Photofrin-PDT.
An interesting parallel may be drawn with another study by Wilson et al. (2005), who found that glabrous skin with sympathetic blockade was still able to autoregulate flow during blood pressure variations, whereas non-glabrous skin lost its capability of autoregulation.
