The impact of structural adjustment programs on health services was severe and compromised the ability of governments to maintain the physical infrastructure of the facilities, provide the necessary supplies and equipment, and maintain competitive salaries for the workforce.
Accordingly, the company must have the ability to develop and produce new products during the planning horizon and then flexibility is needed for the chain parts to respond to marketplace changes to gain or maintain competitive advantage.
Moreover, honors programs attract and maintain competitive faculty members.
Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has competitive ability to maintain accuracy and real-time characteristic of the boosted cascade detector compared to those of other heuristic approaches while requiring reasonably small amount of optimization time.
Such a tradeoff can maintain diversity when present, but negative correlations between competitive ability and defense were less common than is often assumed.
One of the main ways they can achieve this is by assessing the competitive ability of males through their success in maintaining fresh urine marks over their territory and countermarking the marks of intruders.
These results suggest that competitive ability can be predicted in crops prior to competition experiments.
Maintaining immune defenses is costly [ 22, 23], and therefore subject to evolutionary tradeoffs with other important traits, such as competitive ability, reproductive success and survival.
Management actions that maintain genetic diversity in native species while reducing population sizes and genetic diversity in invasive species could promote the ability of natives to evolve improved competitive ability.
Pollen competitive ability is an index reflecting the competitive ability of pollen grains during double fertilizations.
