The hallmarks of the mammalian level of organization are advanced reproduction and parental care, behavioral flexibility, and endothermy (the physiological maintenance of a relatively constant body temperature independent of that of the environment, allowing a high level of activity).
Constant grading of gravel roads permits maintenance of a relatively smooth highway.
For more global surface degeneration with maintenance of a relatively healthy surrounding subchondral bone support, total resurfacing of the articular surface can provide a seamless means of restoring congruity without burning the bridges of complete humeral head excision.
In the cat, locomotion may recover in some case with the maintenance of a relatively small population of original axons (5 10%) [5].
Taken together, these results could partially explain the maintenance of a relatively high number of WNV resistant Cx. tarsalis in this population.
After initiating the feeding at 48 h, DO fell gradually and then remained at a constant level of 30%% until the end of fermentation, reflecting the maintenance of a relatively stable and high cellular metabolic activity under this condition.
It is assumed to facilitate the maintenance of a relatively stable belief system from which the world and experiences can be interpreted without great effort, leaving the attentional capacities for more urgent and complex tasks.
The size of the niche itself (for example a small island, or a small lake) could indeed be the main factor contributing to the maintenance of a relatively high degree of inbreeding, and hence to the reduced level of inbreeding depression that can promote speciation.
A recent pharmacological study on surgical specimens from colorectal cancer patients who had received preoperative 5-days (weekday -on/2-days (weekday -on/2-daysreatment showeekday -on/2-days a relatively high level of intratumoral concentration of 5-FU at 48 h after the last dose of UFT (Sadahiro et al, 2001).
Monitoring data collected by the company shows maintenance of a relatively high number of their employees who commute via active travel (approximately 45%) compared to all other employees in the local area (approximately 10%) suggesting that their transport strategy is effective in reducing car use and promoting active travel [ 25].
