Fukuyama's latest book, The Origins of Political Order, maps the unwieldy period "from prehuman times to the French revolution", and lays out his three prerequisites of stable democratic systems: a functioning state, the rule of law and accountable government – which is a pretty good prism through which to view the Arab spring and its aftermath.
Furthermore, in an accompanying editorial, Michard and colleagues [ 30] commented that resynchronisation can lead to changes in left ventricular size and therefore preload, making the prerequisite of a stable preload assumed in this study not completely secure [ 31].
We conclude that both the resetting of central and peripheral tolerance and the efficient eradication of autoreactive lymphocytes seem to be a prerequisite for stable induction of remission.
Consequently, the special social lifestyle of termites and ants might be one prerequisite for the establishment of stable vertical transmission and cospeciation of extracellular symbionts in these lineages.
This suggests that conserved adaptive mutations in "classic swine" are important for swine-to-swine transmission, and essential to the establishment of stable lineages, but not prerequisites for infecting this host.
The formation of stable hairpin structures has been suggested as a prerequisite for the annotation of new miRNAs [ 57, 59].
The successful preparation of stable isotope-labeled internal standard peptides is an important prerequisite for the SID-MRM absolute quantification methods.
Formation of stable, reproducible high-barrier metal/InP interfaces is an essential prerequisite for the development of high-speed electronic devices, charge-control devices, optoelectronic detectors and wave-guides.
It therefore seems likely that the conversion of tubules to cisternal sheets is a prerequisite for the stable association of future NE membranes with chromatin.
It is thus possible that Celf3 expression is a prerequisite for the stable expression of Gomafu during the development and in the adult brain.
