The new knowledge about animal intelligence that we are now gaining so rapidly may have a profound impact on our attitudes toward other animals.
The ability to take-off rapidly may have profound consequences for survival by, for example, reducing the chances of predation (Cresswell, 1993).
Cells have repair mechanisms and back-up systems that kick in when double-strand breaks take place, but cancer cells, which are pros at accumulating mutations and dividing rapidly, may not have as many layers of back-up repair, making them more dependent on one repair mechanism and potentially vulnerable if that mechanism fails.
Thus, nuclear p65 and RelB levels may have rapidly decreased early within the treatment period and restabilized by 4 h, whilst nuclear p50 levels may have decreased more steadily over time.
Electric-rail vehicles can accelerate rapidly and may have top speeds of 70 mile/h, but if stations are only one-half mile apart, the average speed may be less than 30 mile/h.
Glacier melt plus increased rainfall may have rapidly lubricated the base of these glaciers.
China may have rapidly increased outlays on welfare pensions and health, but it has barely scratched the surface.
More recent developments suggest the economy, while still not expanding rapidly, nevertheless may have bottomed out from its slowdown.
Our study shows that intravenous administration of furosemide, even at low doses, in patients with relatively normal renal function, induces an immediate subverting of both normal urinary excretion rate and concentration of main electrolytes, which commences very rapidly, and may have subsequent long-term effects as an additive result of sequential administrations.
These are important because they may have rapidly buried crater floor sediments.
