After half a century of successful development, going through glorious success and enthusiasm and dark criticism, nuclear power has made a substantial contribution to human development.
Whereas it is not yet clear how this relates to human development, the human brain undergoes substantial changes in long- and short-range myelination and connectivity in late childhood [ 22, 23, 24].
A recent study suggests that lesions at early stages of human development may lead to subsequent substantial reorganization of the origins of the corticospinal output (Basu et al. 2010).
Untreated Chagas disease impairs human development in this region by producing substantial morbidity, premature death, and disability that limits the ability of both current and future generations to meet their basic human requirements including sufficient income [ 1, 2, 4].
Still, stem cells made by nuclear transfer could have substantial advantages over existing stem cell lines for studying basic processes of human development.
Identifying trajectories of agricultural development that enable substantial increases in food production is of prime importance for food security and human development in Sub-Saharan Africa in general, and Ethiopia in particular.
The fundamental choice is whether its trajectory will remain marked by inertia... and by ineffective policies that have produced the substantial development challenges facing the region; or whether prospects for an Arab renaissance, anchored in human development, will be actively pursued".
Waage et al. also make reference to political influences on distribution in a cautionary comment on post-2015 development: 'aspirations for human development co-exist in a globalised political economy that is marked by substantial inequality and exploitation' (4 p. 1015).
