The latest technical milestones were the market maturity of time-of-flight (TOF) PET systems (2006) and the FDA approval of the first PET/MRI system in 2011.
"Portfolio construction" issues may also jeopardise an entrepreneur's chances, which is VC speak for how to allocate fund resources across companies at different stages of maturity to time when exits will happen and funds will start being returned to their investors.
A multi-taxa metaanalysis like ours thus seems unlikely to effectively assess the 'true' cost of predation risk on prey development (assessed as time to maturity, length of time per instar, etc).; as a result, we chose not to examine development time per se in our meta-analysis.
There are a large number of different cultivars of apples showing a range of different flowering times, maturity times and times to ripen.
The increasing availability and maturity of real time wide area measurements has enabled the creation of more advanced SIPS that are able to protect power systems from wide area disturbances for a wide range of operating conditions.
Factors contributing to induction of oral tolerance include: the host's immunological maturity at time of exposure, the timing and the frequency of exposure, and the nature of the antigen [ 29- 32].
Yearly variation in fruit firmness and acidity were probably due to yearly variation in degree of fruit maturity at time of harvest.
Scientists have determined that many essential features of an animal's portfolio are linked, among them whether at birth it looks fetal and helpless like a newborn kitten or precocious and competent like a neonatal giraffe; how big the average litter is; the speed with which the animal reaches sexual maturity; the length of time between births; and the pace at which an adult ages.
Oocytes which were at the -GV- or -MI stage of maturity at the time of insemination by ICSI (∼40 h after hCG) were donated after informed consent by 67 women undergoing treatment at the Reproductive Medicine Unit, Leeds General Infirmary, UK, under protocols approved by the local research Ethics Committees.
In addition, the duration of program implementation varied with many programs still in the early phases of program maturity at the time of their evaluation.
Thus, although the level of neuronal maturity at the time of birth is different between rodents and primates, including humans, it is likely that neurophysiological properties develop in a similar manner across different species, although with different time courses.
