Nest tries to steer away from focusing on the short term – it argues that its members will be signed up for perhaps 30, 40 or even 50 years, "so what happens in one or two years may not represent longer-term returns, and the positive effect of contributions building up over time".
Given the continuous and variable exposure to BPA, a single urine sample may not represent longer-term exposure or exposure in the relevant etiological window.
Therefore, our results need to be interpreted with caution, especially considering that a single urinary measurement of phthalate metabolites or BPA may not represent longer-term exposure.
Population-level associations between average levels of noise and sleep outcomes over time also represent longer-term effects of noise, which means that habituation to noise may play a more significant role than in laboratory settings (Basner et al. 2011).
"African-Americans," he said, "represent longer-term challenges because soccer is not as popular in the same way".
We assume that these wind data represent longer-term patterns that have remained relatively stable over evolutionary time.
The results of this simple modeling exercise demonstrate that matrix diffusion can be a critical component of source zone longevity and may represent a longer-term contributor to source longevity (i.e., longer time maintaining concentrations above MCLs) than DNAPL dissolution alone at many sites.
Therefore, pesticides in homes may represent a longer-term potential source of exposure, with relatively less temporal variability than outdoor applications.
Some admissions may represent the longer term effects of higher blood glucose leading to complications (4, 11) and would require long-term improvements in glycemic control to reduce the likelihood of admission.
