With negligible exceptions, both teachers and administrators are Chinese citizens and are -- in reality if not in name -- Beijing appointees.
When cavefish lose their eyes, for instance, they are presumably not reverting to an earlier evolutionary state, because with negligible exceptions, their ancestors had eyes as long ago as they were fish.
Our view of active underground magmatic systems, and their relationships with the surrounding rocks, is basically speculation, as we do not directly observe them (with the negligible exception of geothermal drilling at the Krafla caldera, in Iceland, that accidentally encountered magma, Pàlsson et al. 2014; and of scientific drilling into the surficial Kilauea Iki lava lake, Heltz 1980 , 1987.
Convection is usually negligible, with the exception of rapid water infiltration after heavy rainfall.
However, the inhibitory effect of OR on IL-6 mRNA expression was negligible, with the exception of the effect of the 1000 μg/mL concentration.
The proportion of respondents without any of the above behavioural and biological risk factors was negligible, with the exception of Chililab in Vietnam where around 20% reported none of the major risk factors.
Surprisingly, the difference in runtime between single and multi sample methods for the same number of samples was negligible with the exception of PL, in which a clear speed advantage of single over multi sample variant detection was observed.
Activities with the other coenzyme (i.e. NADP with xylitol, L-arabinitol and erythritol; and NADH with D-xylose and L-arabinose) were negligible, with the exception of some NADP+-linked activity of strain RUT C30 on xylitol, which was absent from strain QM9414.
Indeed, due to the low rate of afforestation and the young age of the afforested lands, the share of harvest potentially provided by this category is generally negligible [30], with few exceptions [31].
The results from the two objective methods showed good agreement, enough for the estimation of the extent of oil patches and their trajectories, with the exception of negligible errors at the boundaries.
We assumed that the harvest rate was entirely satisfied by the FM area, considering that the possible amount of harvest provided by lands afforested or reforested (AR) since 1990 was generally negligible [15], with the exception of Portugal (see the Additional file: 1 for details).
