Despite its intrinsic interest, pipe-organ preservation is a small field; is there any danger that the researchers involved, especially the young ones, are limiting their career opportunities?
The results showed that the preservation of a small number of fibers in the ventral or lateral funiculus was related to stepping abilities and overground locomotion, whereas comparable tissue preservation in the dorsal funiculus resulted in complete paraplegia.
The lakeside hunting lodge called Schloss Wiligrad was built at the turn of the 19th century, deep in a forest 14 kilometers north of Schwerin, the capital of the northern German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Today, the drafty pile is home to both the state's department of historic preservation and a small local art museum.
For example, the Mayo stem requires preservation of a small intact cortical ring in which cancellous bone is impacted for its stability (Falez et al. 2008).
In developmental processes, Notch signalling often results in the preservation of a small subset of proliferating undifferentiated and multipotent progenitor cells.
In cultured organoids, lysozyme staining identified Paneth cells in small buds of surviving Rab8a −/− organoids (green, Fig. 5C), hinting that the preservation of a small number of Paneth cells in surviving knockout crypts might have facilitated their survival, whereas crypts totally lacking mature Paneth cells were arrested (red line, Fig. 4A).
Yet even as British and French troops poured in, the forces of geography and of self-preservation for a small country surrounded by unloving larger ones took Mr Trajkovski last week east to Kiev to celebrate the tenth birthday of an independent Ukraine, the Macedonian government's best ally and main arms-supplier against the ethnic-Albanian rebels.
It also sends teams of volunteers to work on restoration and preservation; they pay a small fee for a week's lodging and food.
"To be entrusted with the preservation of even a small portion of Lynn's legacy is a glorious honor," Mr. Buchman said.
So, in some ways, going to a weed-and-feed feels like a small preservation effort, like polishing silver.
