This finding led to the "Vulnerable Age Hypothesis" which states that the discrepancy between the pressure that children face and the resources at their disposal to cope with that pressure is largest at the elementary school level (as opposed to older and younger age levels).
In particular, we aim to reconcile the tension between bank mergers helping to make a financial system more vulnerable (concentration-fragility hypothesis) and bank mergers improving financial stability through the reduction of an individual bank's risk (concentration-stability hypothesis).
Taxonomic pluralism is not an a priori conjecture but a hypothesis vulnerable to empirical tests.
As such, sex may confound the relationship between where a dentist was trained (U.S. versus foreign dental school) and the likelihood of treating vulnerable populations, a hypothesis worthy of further investigation.
Some evidence is presented that the genus Microbotryum is paraphyletic, as some Microbotryum species form a group with the genera Liroa and Sphacelotheca, even though support values for this hypothesis are vulnerable to alignment conditions.
Collectively, the above findings support the hypothesis that the vulnerable WM cells are OLs that are beyond the progenitor stage of maturation, i.e., OLs that are engaged, or are preparing to engage in myelination.
Since investigations and analyses are still at a very early stage and since the first hypotheses have proved vulnerable to criticism, the statements that follow must be only tentative.
Examining differences in body burden by a range of SEP measures can provide useful insights about the conceptual basis for the choice of SEP measure and about vulnerable populations, and can raise hypotheses about possible sources of exposure.
On the assumption of a relatively increased synaptic dopamine level in the striatum of vulnerable PD patients, we derive hypotheses based and an established model of the effects of tonic and phasic dopamine release on cortical connections with the direct and indirect pathways of the basal ganglia (Fig 2a).
This hypothesis extends to those vulnerable to bipolar disorder (e.g., those with hypomanic experience).
The present study is consistent with the hypothesis that males are more vulnerable than females in the fetal environment.
