C/N mass ratios ranged between 9.5 and 13.5 (11.1–15.8 C/N atomic ratios), indicative of algal communities dominating organic matter contributions to bottom sediments with small, persistent contributions from vascular plants.
For a node to show a significant fast timescale in the presence of a slower, more persistent timescale, the contribution of this slow timescale to the node must be small.
In addition, as natural disasters disproportionally affect poorer communities (e.g. Basher [2006]), the contribution of persistent degassing to poverty, poor health and degradation of the local environment makes it a risk factor for acute hazards by increasing vulnerability in the area.
Figure 1 begins to provide an answer to our preliminary questions, showing that the group of highest-cited scientists are a mixture of individuals whose accomplishments range from a single, monumental, contribution to persistent stream of high-impact publications, and everything between.
Thus, although the evidence is suggestive, there remains insufficient evidence either to confirm or refute a host genetic contribution to persistent S. aureus colonization.
The possible contribution to persistent muscle pain of glutamate release from Ia annulospiral endings acting on intrafusal nociceptors remains an interesting but still open question.
Detailed genotyping of P. falciparum and P. vivax infections will be needed to determine the respective contribution of persistent and new infections to the burden of disease.
In fact, the contribution of persistent Na+ current to the afterdepolarizing potential (ADP) is comparable with T-type currentrrent (blue line).
Parallel imaging and histological studies are needed to evaluate the contribution of persistent immature/mature vessels to disease progression and may illustrate the specific pathogenetic contribution of immature vessels.
