However; its increasing use worldwide and evolution of Gamma Knife device precision and safety had led to its acceptance as primary management for small- and medium-sized vestibular schwannomas.
Worldwide convergent evolution of the Pygmy size suggests the presence of strong selective pressures on the phenotype.
Briscoe's lab is one of a few worldwide studying the evolution of red-green color vision in butterflies and their closest relatives, moths and skippers.
Understanding the role of groundwater processes in landscape evolution over areas occupied by the NSAS has implications for understanding the development of landscape in Saharan Africa, Arabian Sahara, similar settings worldwide, and the evolution of the Martian landscape.
It has been speculated that the speciation rates of orchids are exceptionally high (Gill 1989), with the fact that, even now, new species of orchids are still recorded worldwide suggesting that the evolution of orchids has never ceased.
This observation is not exclusive of geographically closer Chinese (PAV-III) isolates but also describes the evolution of worldwide PAV-I and PAV-II isolates.
"The World Health Organization predicts that chronic diseases will account for almost three-quarters of all deaths worldwide by 2020, so the evolution of M-Health (mobile diagnostics, bio-feedback and personal monitoring) is set to revolutionize treatment of conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Additional research to identify factors responsible for these serologic discrepancies would clearly be beneficial to surveillance efforts and allow an enhanced understanding of the ecology and evolution of AIVs worldwide.
The evolution of the worldwide outbreak required frequent modifications of the case definition, and establishing consistent criteria to define a SARS-affected area on the basis of community transmission was difficult.
The "acid test" for the generality of these ideas surrounding nitrogen partitioning for the ecology and evolution of plants worldwide will come from tropical and temperate systems where decomposition rates lead to higher turnover of organic pools, and higher microbial activity leads to more intense competition with microbes [ 1, 10].
