Making deft use of parallel time frames, Pickard writes with insight and compassion about an unresolved crime that continues to haunt a farming community.
However, in previous studies in small ruminants (sheep [ 4, 13, 14, 49, 52] and goats [ 5, 7, 21]), most animals were euthanized at 6 months, paralleling the time frame of experiments in laboratory animals.
At this point, Mr. Carey resorts to what comes easily to him but is so often a cheap trick for other writers: he adds a parallel narrative in a different time frame.
Also, in mouse Leydig cells, thyroid hormone has been reported to increase the levels of StAR protein and StAR mRNA, and their increased expression occurs in a time frame that parallels the acute production of steroids (28, 35, 49).
But by introducing a parallel plot, set in the same time frame and also having to do with a missing person, she loads the narrative with so much weight that it falls right into the pit she's dug for it.
Unfortunately, the rates of increase in BUN and serum creatinine do not parallel the fall in GFR in a time frame that is clinically useful.
Despite these caveats, our work here demonstrates that this WGS approach can provide highly discriminatory information within a clinically relevant time frame, but requires a parallel epidemiological investigation to rule in or rule out potential environmental sources.
While the CLASS trial followed patients for up to 15 months, for purposes of this analysis, we chose the 6-month time frame to allow us to make parallel comparisons between the two studies.
THE CHILD'S CHILD (Scribner, $26) is doubly deceptive because its narrative turns on two parallel plots about sexual taboos, each set in a different time frame but dealing with identical themes of love, loyalty, betrayal and murder.
In addition, both TAC assessments were performed in parallel using the same laboratory equipment (spectrophotometer) and within the same time frame.
