Certainly in clinical practice, some RA patients resistant to BCDT still respond to anti-IL-6 blockade, suggesting that alternative sources of IL-6 may be important in disease persistence (personal communication, David Isenberg, University College London).
"You're referring to clear communication, doggedness, persistence — that's what you draw upon?" Harris asked.
In this paper we address those questions by studying tie persistence in human communication using a large longitudinal database of 19 month of mobile phone calls.
While our results confirm that structural (embeddedness) and intensity (number of calls) features are correlated with tie persistence, temporal features of communication events are better and more efficient predictors for tie persistence.
They spoke to each other on radios, their intensity and persistence in keeping order and maintaining communication making them seemingly oblivious to the dangers around them.
However, consistent, clear communication from project staff and persistence in contacting participants were also important factors in enrolling and retaining subjects.
This rugged topography has hindered human travel within the island, as witnessed by the persistence till today of a whistled language used for communication over long distances.
The persistence of multiple visions thus possibly reflected limited or ineffective communication channels to maintain or indeed refine or update the original vision.
These disruptors have pushed aside some of our human needs in communication as well as other human characteristics like uncertainty, deficiencies in persistence, and lack of self-confidence.
Perhaps the persistence of this controversy can partly be explained by the intuitive appeal of threatening communication.
Modern information and communication technologies and advanced operation are used actually to improve smart grid reliability, persistence, efficiency and performance.
