With their superior ability to extract nutrients from a fibrous diet, ruminants evolved into a variety of species that could use a relatively narrow range of ecological conditions more efficiently than other less-specialized animals.
Broadcasting planned to serve distant areas, employing shortwaves and depending on reflection from the ionosphere, normally uses a relatively narrow beam of energy projected skyward at an angle from 5° to 10° to the horizontal.
That legal interpretation is significant, several outside legal experts said, because it uses a relatively narrow area of the law — used to justify airport screenings, for instance, or drunken-driving checkpoints — and applies it much more broadly, in secret, to the wholesale collection of communications in pursuit of terrorism suspects.
In this particular case we used a relatively narrow species concept, but one that follows usual taxonomic practice in the Macaronesian flora (Sandral et al. 2006).
Second, the current study used a relatively narrow definition of mindfulness in terms of attentional processing, but it did not measure other facets of the trait, such as the nonjudgmental and accepting attitude.[ 50] This somewhat limits the interpretability of the currents results and mindfulness as a broader and multifactorial concept remains to be investigated in future twin studies.
In its narrowest sense, "value theory" is used for a relatively narrow area of normative ethical theory particularly, but not exclusively, of concern to consequentialists.
M. extorquens AM1 is a facultative methylotroph able to utilize a relatively narrow range of substrates.
However, interference between channels prevented more than three channels from being active at once, and temperature dependences of the detectors prevented them from being used outside of a relatively narrow temperature range estimated to be approximately ±7°C about the temperature at which the detectors were tuned.
Although the HA solution was made using HA powder, still a relatively narrow peak was observed in the SEC chromatogram of the acid soluble portion of the HA solution (data not shown).
