The concomitant decline of wild B. occidentalis and other closely related species in the subgenus Bombus sensu stricto [24] is worrisome, given that that this subgenus suffers from uniquely high levels of parasites [33] that are common in commercial Bombus [34] and unusually prevalent near certain industrial greenhouses [35].
Most food crops tend not to absorb contaminants, and what little they do absorb generally stays in the roots., (One notable exception is rice, which absorbs arsenic unusually well. ) Certain contaminants, like zinc, kill plants before they reach concentrations dangerous to people, says Rufus Chaney, a research agronomist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Those characters are Updikean in certain limited ways — unusually sensitive, unusually death-haunted, unusually horny.
Though the Fed ultimately approved the Bonneville sale, the delay and dissent suggest an unusually tough path for certain financial institution deals.
More recently it has been shown that serious bone and neural diseases afflicting humans (e.g., lathyrism) and livestock may be caused by the ingestion of unusually large amounts of certain free amino acids.
The unusually intimate association of certain flukes (subclass Digenea) with mollusks suggests that flukes were originally parasites of mollusks and that they later developed an association with other hosts.
The NASD imposed monetary sanctions on three investment banks for receiving "unusually high commission from certain customers…without inquiry and within one day of allocating 'hot' IPOs to those same customers," the regulator said in a press release.
Many of the proteins identified in our proteomic analysis possess unusually high proportions of certain amino acids.
However, these proteins possess unusually high proportions of certain amino acids such as Asp and Gly (a common feature of previously described proteins involved in biomineralization), signal sequences (suggesting that they are secreted from mantle cells and are likely to be directly involved in the biomineralization process), and/or extremely acidic or basic predicted pI values.
Those characters are Updikean in certain limited ways unusually sensitive, unusually death-haunted, unusually horny.
