Theoretical advances in systematic reserve design aim to promote the efficient use of limited conservation resources and to increase the likelihood that reserve networks enhance the persistence of valued species and ecosystems.
The erosion of traditional values concerned some, though the centrality of ' sướng' – happiness or contentedness – to their lives, reflected the persistence of deeper values.
Too bad.' " While some in the ruling élite worried about the persistence of rural values — what Kuwaitis call "desertification" — in a modernizing, urbanizing culture, Islamists were worried about the opposite, the secularization of the new Kuwait.

Using multi-directional variogram statistics to track the spatial persistence of elevation values across a landscape, we calculate anisotropy as a multiscale, direction-sensitive variance in elevation between two points on a surface.
Greenwald explains the persistence of the value phenomenon with human psychology.
Lack of clinical improvement was defined by all of the following conditions: lack of ≥20% improvement and persistence of a value ≥45 in the total score of the 18-items version of the BPRS (included in the E-BPRS) [ 9 ]; a score ≥4 in at least two out of the four E-BPRS psychotic items.
Because of the persistence of normal renin values and serum electrolytes (Table 1) and normal blood pressure values mineralocorticoid substitutive therapy was not proposed.
For example, advances in the use of sequence data, in addition to gene expression studies, can lead to improved persistence of genomic breeding values across breeds and generations and potentially lead to greater reliabilities.
The most striking feature derived from the SMOS data set is the remarkable persistence of high-salinity values along the equator and to the south of it, in a narrow 2° band of latitude.
