Whereas later Pratchett satirised the real world, here his target is both softer and more obscure.
In North America, for example, marine deposits from earlier in the period covered only marginal areas, whereas later marine deposits covered much of the continent.
Throughout the history of Etruscan, a first syllable usually remains unchanged, whereas later syllables tend to weaken or lose vowels, at least in writing.
We show that this correlated tuning explains why initial stages of motor learning are often rapid and stereotyped, whereas later stages are slower and stimulus specific.
Parrish and Bazzaz (1982) showed that early successional species of plants have broad, overlapping niche occupation on many gradients, whereas later successional species show more niche differentiation.
Newly synthesized PyPBIs displayed greater stability in phosphoric acid (PA) when compared with the non-functionalized PyPBIs, former is stable up to 85% PA whereas later is only up to 60% PA.
Early diverging land plants exhibit indeterminate (persistent) growth in their haploid gametophytic generation, whereas later diverging lineages exhibit indeterminate growth in their diploid sporophytic generation, raising the question of whether genetic machinery directing meristematic functions was co-opted between generations.
The microcirculatory effects of fluids seem to be mostly present in the early phase of sepsis (within 24 h of diagnosis), whereas later (after 48 h) fluid administration failed to improve the microcirculation even when cardiac output increased [27].
The former two showed highest sequence similarity with cognate (large and small) subunits of HqD whereas later one showed maximum sequence similarity with 4-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (4-HMSD).
Early intervention groups include patients with a range of prognoses and illness severities, whereas later intervention involves subjects who have experienced illness recurrences and may have been exposed to various periods of active, failed, and discontinued treatment.
The threshold switching was first ascribed to the thermal breakdown effect in the amorphous film [83], whereas later, more evidence revealed that threshold switching was mainly dominated by electronic mechanism [84, 85].
