The substantially lower redox potential of thiosulfate (E 0 ' (S 2 O 3 2- / HS − ) = -400 mV), and sulfur (E 0 ' (S 0 / HS − ) = -275 mV), as compared to that of the AsV/AsIII couple (Em = +60 mV) suggests that oxidized sulfur compounds were available as electron acceptors already at much lower oxidation states of the environment, i. e. much earlier than the arsenics.
Due to the strongly reducing electrochemical properties of the involved substrates, methanogenic electron transfer chains operate at substantially lower redox potentials than typical aerobic and anaerobic respiratory chains.
While DAG1 inactivation considerably increases the germination capability of seeds, the dag2 mutant has seeds with a germination potential substantially lower than the wild-type, indicating that these factors may play opposite roles in seed germination.
In conclusion, as in many other countries, an organized call-recall cervical screening program in Malaysia has the potential to substantially lower the burden of cervical cancer incidence and mortality.
As a result, the risk of losing an unaffected pregnancy due to an unnecessary invasive diagnostic test is expected to be substantially lower, albeit with a rare potential for a missed aneuploidy.
Authors of a meta-analysis of clinical trials concluded that coenzyme Q10 has the potential to substantially lower blood pressure in people with hypertension [ 9], while the conclusion of a Cochrane review was that although the results of three clinical trials are clinically meaningful, the quality of the evidence did not justify use of Coenzyme Q10 for long-term management of hypertension [ 6].
The rise in the cost of farming has outstripped the rise in the prices paid for agricultural commodities, and this imbalance substantially lowers the investment potential in the agricultural sector.
Such a strategy would allow young shoots to elongate even when salinity substantially lowers the osmotic potential of the groundwater.
Nevertheless, the market potentials estimated are substantially lower (5 10%), which indicate that policy shifts are needed if the techno-economic potentials identified in this work are to be realized.
In this paper, we describe a new deformation processed Al/Ca composite conductor now in development that has the potential to offer substantially lower density, higher strength, and higher conductivity for HVDC than today's conductor materials.
