In particular, the cycles of expansion and contraction in both population and agriculture appear to have affected the susceptibility of the upland landscape to erosion, and the hillslope gullying record in the region, therefore, contributes to understanding of the timing and spatial pattern of human exploitation of the upland landscape.
In addition, understanding the timing and localization of expression of the most pyrethroid-sensitive VSSCs during neurodevelopment could help in understanding and explaining effects reported after developmental exposure.
Understanding the timing and directionality of the EBV RA relationship is crucial to distinguishing inciting from secondary events in RA pathogenesis and to advancing our understanding of the etiology of RA.
Moreover, multispecies genome scale comparisons allow to refine protein-coding genes annotation [ 19- 21] as well as better understanding of the timing and the frequency of duplication events for lineage-specific genes called in-paralogs [ 22, 23].
Getting the date right is important for understanding the timing and course of animal evolution, because the split between the sponges and most other animals (called the Eumetazoa) was a key event in the early history of life on Earth.
Understanding the timing and impact of the initial immune response to HIV infection and the viral escape from that response, within the context of the earliest biological events characteristic of acute infection, is critical for the development of reasoned vaccine strategies.
Secondly, research on the process of decentralization in different countries could benefit from an explicitly party-political approach to understanding the timing and tempo of territorial reforms.
Understanding the timing and extent of nursing retirement is particularly important as there is already a shortage of nurses in all Australian States and Territories – listed on the National Skill Shortage List released annually by the Department of Education, Science and Training [ 11].
Molecular landscapes have been used to help establish the six key defects that are the hallmark of frank carcinogenesis; however, understanding the timing and order of occurrence of these molecular events during the latency period is ongoing.
A robust phylogeny for Metazoa will provide evolutionary context for understanding the timing and origins of the major features of animals including nervous systems [ 1], immune systems [ 2], cell types [ 3] and other complex traits.
