"The century-long dimming and the day-long dips are both just extreme ends of a spectrum of timescales for unique dimming events, so by Ockham's Razor, all this is produced by one physical mechanism," Shaefer said in his paper.
Such results indicate an essentially infinite spectrum of timescales for structural reorganization, with implications for regulating genome expression kinetics.
To investigate systematically the importance of timescales for stimulus coding by patterns we applied three classification strategies (i.e. types of classifiers), each relying on different features of neuronal activity.
Figure 3 C and F shows the same bootstrap ratio values as the function of timescales for all brain sources, each associated with a curve.
In line with this, the formal recording of timescales for actions was perceived to be important for carers and gave them something to refer back to during the course of their contact with services.
As the leading public funder of clinical trials in the United Kingdom, the NIHR Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme has an interest in optimising its investment in trials - and one way in which it can do this is by ensuring good estimates of timescales for research are available at the time of taking funding decisions.
We also subscribe to the idea suggested in Shen-Orr et al. about the separation of timescales for transcriptional and post-transcriptional networks and we suspect that this represents a fundamental difference between the way that transcriptional and post-transcriptional networks are regulated.
"It is shocking and it gives me no pleasure in giving that sort of timescale, because for a lot of victims and those who have placed their faith in Operation Red Field it's not good news for them and obviously devastating for them".
Despite the uncertainty, the E-ELT is in a better financial position than its two main competitors, the Giant Magellan Telescope and the Thirty Meter Telescope "The question is no longer whether the E-ELT will start or not, but now it is just a question of the timescale for the start of the biggest contracts," says Lindberg Christensen.
At the moment we aren't certain of the timescale for her recovery.
