A series of environmental and resource problems have emerged owing to rapid urban development, including encroachment of agricultural land, land reclamation, silt deposition in rivers, and severe flooding.
This was attributable to the genetic cost of increased incidence of skeletal deformations owing to rapid fingerling growth.
Our understanding of cancer has changed over the years, owing to rapid advances in oncology research.
Hydrofracturing is driven by rapid increments of fluid pressure and is therefore likely to occur in contact metamorphic aureoles owing to rapid and irreversible reactions.
Lead halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) appear to be the ideal future candidate for photovoltaic applications owing to the rapid development in recent years.
The study of metamaterials is still young, but owing to the rapid development of micro- and nano-fabrication technologies, three-dimensional optical metamaterials are no longer mere conceptual ideas but have become a practical reality.
The biological application of water-soluble PDI-cored dendrimers is broad, including fluorescence live-cell imaging, fluorescent labeling, and gene delivery, owing to the rapid development of these materials in the past decade.
Unfortunately, owing to the rapid development of acquired resistance, 5-FU is of limited benefit in treatment of patients with advanced HCC.
Neither FP nor FFA has been extensively used in animal studies, owing to the rapid development of cataracts in many species, and the fact that small animals' eyes are small, highly curved globes, which prevent light rays from focusing on the retina.
