(1) However, the groups often paused less and responded faster than individual rats working under identical conditions.
(2) Photograph: Guardian The research also compiled data covered by a wider definition of tax haven, including onshore jurisdictions such as the US state of Delaware – accused by the Cayman islands of playing "faster and looser" even than offshore jurisdictions – and the Republic of Ireland, which has come under sustained pressure from other EU states to reform its own low-tax, light-tough, regulatory environment.

(6) Formula fed infants retained more nitrogen and gained weight faster.
(7) The junctional currents were already constant 1 ms after step changes in the junctional voltage; this was three orders of magnitude faster than the other known examples of voltage-controlled gap junctions between embryonic cells.
(8) In Experiment 1 (summer), hens regained body weight more rapidly, returned to production faster, and had larger egg weights (Weeks 1 to 4) when fed the 16 or 13% CP molt diets than when fed the 10% CP molt diet.
(9) Mean run time and total ST time were faster with CE (by 1.4 and 1.2 min) although not significantly different (P less than 0.06 and P less than 0.10) from P. Subjects reported no significant difference in nausea, fullness, or stomach upset with CE compared to P. General physiological responses were similar for each drink during 2 h of multi-modal exercise in the heat; however, blood glucose, carbohydrate utilization, and exercise intensity at the end of a ST may be increased with CE fluid replacement.
(10) After cessation of exposures, HEVal was lost faster than predicted by the normal erythrocyte life span alone.
(11) Between-group responsivity differences suggest developmental retardation in term (38-42 weeks) SGA newborns, but the faster SGA latencies may reflect 'induced' acceleration in auditory neurophysiologic function.
(12) When approximately 80% of the myosin light chain was thiophosphorylated, the nucleoside diphosphate exchange occurred at a much faster rate and was almost complete in 2 min.
(13) The more resistant cell lines (D0 greater than 1.8 Gy) had faster growth rates and larger proportions of cells in S phase in asynchronous cultures.
(14) In conclusion results from this study indicate a positive effect of Venoruton in SVT in determining a faster decrease of hyperthermic areas probably by decreasing local inflammation.
(15) Fatigue developed significantly faster with contractions of short duration, and the energy cost was higher.
(16) With the faster rate of proliferation there was a corresponding increase in virulence.
(17) An analysis of 54 protein sequences from humans and rodents (mice or rats), with the chicken as an outgroup, indicates that, from the common ancestor of primates and rodents, 35 of the proteins have evolved faster in the lineage to mouse or rat (rodent lineage) whereas only 12 proteins have evolved faster in the lineage to humans (human lineage).
(18) Forty percent of newly synthesized chains eluted on gel filtration as a lower molecular weight (LMW) shoulder and in vivo turned over faster than the larger species.
(19) Intramuscular immunisation produced a faster but less sustained response than subcutaneous injections.
(20) The faster oxidation of the photoreduced cytochrome after NADPH-Fd reduction of heme ba indicates that the oxidation of ba and bp may be cooperative.
Malthusianism
Definition:
(n.) The system of Malthusian doctrines relating to population.
Example Sentences:
(1) This paper is concerned with the connection between two classes of population variables: measures of population growth rate--the Malthusian parameter, the net reproduction rate, the gross reproduction rate, and the mean life expectancy; and measures of demographic heterogeneity--population entropy.
(2) The well-known disagreement between Malthusian and Marxian viewpoints therefore has its foundation in method.
(3) This paper presents a unified account of the properties of the measures, Malthusian parameter and entropy in predicting evolutionary change in populations of macromolecules, cells and individuals.
(4) The final section analyses the consequences of adopting a neo-Malthusian view, and it is shown that in a world dominated by an elite, this can frequently bring about the political, social, and economic repression of a non-elite.
(5) The neo-Malthusian population concept originated in the international agencies, who saw fertility control as a solution to global economic problems.
(6) Whatever the ideology--Malthusian or Marxist--there is no doubt that population is closely linked to development variables, of which health is a part.
(7) The desire for control is predicated on the Malthusian idea that there is a finite number of people a country can sustain without compromising standards of living.
(8) Neo-Malthusians, publishing in popular rather than scientific journals, are predicting dire results from rampant population growth and recommending coercive remedies, e.g., mass sterilizations, child rationing, and controlled extermination.
(9) Using a relation between these measures and the Malthusian parameter, it is shown that in a random mating population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and under slow selection, the rate of change of entropy is equal to the genetic variance in entropy minus the genetic covariance of entropy and reproductive potential.
(10) These properties, which are valid for populations of macromolecules, cells and individuals, show that the Malthusian parameter and entropy act as complimentary fitness indices in understanding evolutionary change in populations.
(11) Autocrine controls are described as modifiers of the Malthusian growth rate (r), while paracrine controls modify the carrying capacity (K) of the system.
(12) Family planning is seen as a means of helping to improve the socioeconomic problems that lie at the base of the Malthusian dilemma.
(13) The economic development in Brazil in the 1950s was the basis of accepting neo-Malthusian reasoning.
(14) The reproductive potential measures the mean of the contribution of the different age classes to the Malthusian parameter.
(15) Entropy determines population stability: the gain in the Malthusian parameter due to small fluctuations in the life-cycle variables is determined by entropy.
(16) The Malthusian parameter is precisely the difference between the entropy and the reproductive potential.
(17) It is shown that only a population with development rates maximizing the Malthusian function (reaching zero value at the equilibrium state of the system) is able to survive under competition for food resources.
(18) They were dominated by the new Malthusian nightmare, the tussle with malaria, the eradication of smallpox, the improved control of some other serious infections, the struggles for family planning, breast-feeding, immunization, and clean water, among other things, and above all, perhaps, by the decline of the doctor and the rise of the planner and manager.
(19) It is shown that a Malthusian or neo-Malthusian view of the population problem is inevitable if enquiry is founded in empiricism or in normative analytics.
(20) First, the coefficient of variation in population size appears to be inversely related to the Malthusian parameter of population growth.
