While the history of the term resilience in DRR is complex (Alexander 2013), the first modern interpretation for ecology can be traced to Holling (1973, p. 17) in which he defined ecological resilience as: "the persistence of relationships within a system; a measure of the ability of systems to absorb changes of state variables, driving variables, and parameters, and still persist".
In part, this may be explained by the persistence of relationships that pre-date the application of quasi-market principles to services for people with long term conditions.
The inference that glucocorticoid therapy contributes directly to adverse metabolic outcomes is further supported by the persistence of relationships after adjustment for smoking and by the dose response relationships with glucocorticoid exposure, although this was less apparent for symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Brain size is associated with cognitive ability in adulthood, and it has been suggested that the relationship between brain size and cognitive ability in old age is due to the persistence of this relationship from earlier life.
However, an association between brain size and intelligence may be due to the persistence of this relationship from earlier life.
To determine the individual persistence of the relationship between mean sensor glucose (MG) concentrations and hemoglobin A1c (A1C) from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Continuous Glucose Monitoring CGMM) Randomized Trial.
In this regard, persistence of the relationship between insulin resistance and lung function in our patients even after the age-adjusted univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses seems notable.
The persistence of the relationship in smaller sub-groups of GBMs indicates that the association of activity with clinical response does not reflect the influence of a small number of unrepresentative samples, a conclusion validated by analysis of groups that either excluded specimens with outlier MGMT or extreme values for PFS (Table 2).
In addition to disease-specific findings, the data presented here suggest the persistence of the relationship between levels of myelination and corresponding diffusion-weighted MRI-derived tract fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity in post-mortem fixed tissue (Fig. 5), supporting previous findings from studies of unfixed multiple sclerosis brain slices (Schmierer et al., 2007).
The persistence of this relationship for up to 6 months reflects the fact that many patients who have received ventilator support will continue to have significant neuromuscular weakness and be at risk for a prolonged period after discharge from the ICU [ 41].
Here we use the metacommunity framework to get new insights in a crucial conservation topic, the persistence of functional relationships in prey/parasitoid systems across fragmented landscapes [5].
