Although inadequacies in quantifying personality traits and difficulties in studying estimates of time spans exceeding a few seconds have hampered scientific study, simple observation reveals marked individual differences in the ability to estimate time.
Preferred endpoint was the definition of short term success as seizure freedom for a time-span exceeding three times the longest interseizure interval (days) in the year preceding the study and for a minimum of three months (time to 1st seizure) [ 1, 65, 66].
When the width of the span exceeds a certain critical value, the cave ceiling will collapse under its own weight.
It was also one of the few bridges in Europe, and indeed worldwide, whose span exceeded the 40 m mark.
The larger reptiles have life spans exceeding those of mammals of comparable size, but their rates of metabolism are about 10 times lower, so that their total lifetime energy expenditures are lower than those for mammals.
The therein reported incubation time spans did not exceed 30 to 60 min and - apart from the lymphocyte study with a cell number of approximately 2.4x10 - the applied absolute cell numbers were lower (3x10) than the cell number applied in the present study [ 23, 31- 33].
The probability (eta_{mathit {sep}}) that the temporal separation between two successive photons will not exceed a time span (t_{mathit {max}}) during a maximum quantum connection of duration (t_{mathit {QC}}=220mbox{ s}) (see Sect. 4.3) is given by eta_{mathit {sep}}= bigl 1- ( 1+R_{B}t_{mathit {max}} ) cdot e^{-R_{B}t_{mathit {max}}} bigr)^{frac{t_{mathit {QC}}}{t_{mathit {max}}}}.
If the 10 -year risk exceeds 20%, or if it exceeds 20% when the time span is projected to the age of 60, drug treatment should be considered if life-style interventions have not sufficed.
Hence, the birds' ability to remember familiar individuals might well exceed the tested time span, particularly because the memory persists after the birds have made the transition from nonbreeder to breeder status, as was clearly the case in the current study.
All water facility targets were realised and exceeded within the project time span, taking into account the individually-financed household boreholes' high level of community awareness.
Although the average strength of all persisting connections did not change, the mean absolute change was 55±33% (see Table 1), clearly exceeding the spontaneously occurring changes during a comparable time span (28±10%, in 34±14% of all persisting connections).
