Slope failures, floods, colluvial/alluvial sedimentation may reflect short-term changes in the record, but reorganisation of slope and fluvial systems involves significant time lags or delays, often on a millennial scale, and requiring changes to the vegetation cover.
Accordingly, the temporal blood-Hg variability may reflect short-term changes in MeHg intake, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination.
The requirement that the word be recalled more than once was used because correct recall on a single trial may reflect short-term memory.
Such differences may reflect short-term plasticity of the thalamocortical pathway, which has previously been shown to exhibit frequency-dependent properties (Castro-Alamancos and Connors, 1996a; 1996a).
Thus, the present results cannot be generalised to the full population of graduates and they may reflect short- rather than long-term outcomes of the programme.
The noise-dependent variation between individuals may reflect short-term flexibility within individuals and suggests that song variation matching ambient noise profiles at the population level may not always be exclusively attributed to long-term adaptations.
House dust represents a long-term reservoir of chemical contamination in the home; whereas the metabolites may reflect short-term exposures due to their relatively short biological half-lives.
Possible cases of acute inflammation and immune activation due to current illness (defined as having CRP values >10 pg/mL) were excluded because these may reflect short-term responses not representative of usual levels of chronic low-grade inflammation.
In addition, there are concerns that HbA1c may not reflect glycemic control in the short term because of its prolonged half-life, whereas glycated albumin may potentially reflect short-term changes in plasma glucose (17).
As shown by Conway et al., digit-symbol tasks may rather reflect short-term memory than working memory.
