Neonicotinoids are systemics, meaning they are absorbed by tissues and fluids of the treated plant, including nectar and pollen, and in the food produced by the plant.
Hence, the only meaning (i.e., sense) that a mathematical proposition has is intra-systemic meaning, which is wholly determined by its syntactical relations to other propositions of the calculus.
More than 30 separate scientific studies in the last three years have shown adverse effects on insects from neonicotinoids, which are "systemic" insecticides, meaning they enter every part of the target plants – including the pollen and nectar which bees harvest.
While innovators in the investigated field prefer incremental innovations which can be integrated easily into existing ways of building houses, tightened requirements require systemic innovations, meaning that processes and organisations need to be changed.
But neonicotinoids are systemic pesticides, meaning that they are present in the whole plant including the nectar and pollen that bees feed on, or the droplets of sap exuded by maize seedlings.
The pathway from colon to liver metastases is via the portal vein and liver metastases are usually the first metastases to appear, often without signs of systemic dissemination meaning possibility of cure for these patients [ 5].
Adopting a social semiotic approach, this paper formulates facial expression, touch, and body orientation as inter-related systems of meaning, the selection and combination of which constitutes a systemic functional "lexico-grammar" for analyzing and interpreting meaning making in visual imagery.
The Australian thinktank Beyond Zero Emissions warns that if the country continues its coal dependence and ignores the clean energy shift it has a 50% chance of systemic economic decline, meaning high unemployment, high debt and deep recession.
That's because well-meaning protections against "systemic risk" — even government insurance for bank deposits — encourage recklessness.
