During the past two or three decades, this approach has been also employed increasingly for the downstaging of 'locally advanced breast cancer', a poorly defined term encompassing both primarily inoperable cancers and those that are strictly operable but present unfavorable prognostic features (such as large size, diffuse tumors and clinically involved axillary nodes).
R & S, the two categories of poorly characterised genes, together encompass around 20 to 28% of predicted gene-products in each group of archaeal proteomes.
Historically, couvade has been poorly defined; it has encompassed practices that are quite divergent in terms of timing, participants, activity, and cause.
The hallmark of the CASS is that this system encompasses a still poorly understood mechanism for integrating fragments of bacteriophage DNA into a specific site within the CRISPR repeat cassette; at least in part, integration of these fragments is probably mediated by the Cas1 proteins that has been predicted [ 22, 25] and more recently experimentally demonstrated to possess DNAse activity [ 26].
Protocol-based care remains a poorly understood term and can potentially encompass the use of care pathways, integrated care pathways, guidelines, algorithms and checklists [ 4, 5].
America's current patchwork of supervisors is poorly suited to the task: it encompasses five federal bank regulators, 50 state regulators, separate securities and futures regulators and now a new supervisor for quasi-private mortgage companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
It has been reported that such descriptions poorly define the experiences of patients, which encompass temporal patterns, intensities and functional disability in the early morning [ 24, 25].
Re "Louisiana's Marshes Fight for Their Lives" (Nov. 15): The saltwater marsh is the primary energy source for the ubiquitous but poorly understood ecosystems of the coastal estuaries, which encompass millions of acres from the coastal woodlands to the offshore barrier islands.
Therefore, one definition of impulsivity which seems particularly appropriate is that "impulsivity encompasses a range of actions which are poorly conceived, prematurely expressed, unduly risky or inappropriate to the situation and that often result in undesirable consequences" (Daruna & Barnes, 1993).
Disease management programmes may encompass domains of PCC, but these interventions are frequently poorly described in the literature [ 78], which presents a challenge when trying to capture all the relevant studies.
Risk encompasses both the possibility that things will go poorly and the chance that things will go better--but differently--than expected.
