Overall, the Canadian economy performed solidly, with sustained economic growth, low and stable inflation and interest rates, and improved resilience to economic shocks.

Debt sustainability is also affected by vulnerability to external shocks.

Cancer cells pay a price when they evolve resistance to chemotherapy.

As with malaria, the TB bacteria had developed resistance to the traditional therapeutic drugs.

It is possible that highly metastasized breast tumors might have acquired additional genetic changes causing resistance to treatment with PARP inhibitors.

In many rural areas, deteriorating and outdated infrastructure has lost its resilience to climate related extreme events such as hurricanes and droughts.

Nor can enduring autobiographical memory disturbances and inability to remember lists be readily attributed to ECT, because ECT is rarely given on its own.

But it is the economic slowdown that renders all developed countries less resistant to the financial shocks resulting from the sub prime problem and from the mixed loan packages that are then used to dilute the risks attached to sub prime debt.

Growth collapsed in Africa in the late 1970 s because of the weakness of the former, and fizzled in Latin America after the first half of the 1990 s because of the weakness of the latter.

Perhaps they are right. But any financial system must be able to withstand shocks, including big ones.

That might also help mitigate the impact of larger shocks and increase the net return potential during severe shocks (though it might also lower the return potential for more mild shocks).

Those with access to finance appear to be capable of resisting the urge to locate production in poor low wage parts of the world (China aside).

However, unlike fully developed tumors, they are not likely to have acquired many genetic changes and are therefore unlikely to have gained resistance to PARP inhibitors.

The strategic plan (2004 2007) is to protect livelihoods in crisis situations and enhance resilience to shocks by creating assets, by disaster mitigation and by enabling more sustainable livelihoods.

Antimicrobial Resistance on the Global Agenda

But it also includes physical resilience and the ability to withstand shocks.

Traumatised by it

Resistance.

But the stress tests and targeted TARP money, the path of least resistance taken, enabled the banks to earn their way back to solvency.

Supervisor to research projects regarding severe trauma, health and psychosocial work

Deaths from malaria were soaring, partly because poor countries health systems were dramatically underfunded, and partly because the malaria parasite had developed resistance to the usual medicines.

Countering Islamic Extremism

March for the Mapuche Resistance

Earl Spencer urged us to resist the temptation to canonize his sister.

Poor adherence to the therapeutic regimen, improper prescribing by clinicians, and drug interactions or malabsorption can result in partial suppression of bacterial growth and the emergence of resistant organisms. Once this resistance develops, treatment is compromised, further resistance can evolve, and resistant organisms can be transmitted to other people, leading to primary drug resistance that may fail to respond to standard therapy.

Recognizing the urgent need to further develop and make use of the existing scientific and technical knowledge to build resilience to natural disasters, and emphasizing the need for developing countries to have access to technology so as to tackle natural disasters effectively,

A surprising number of pundits seem to think that if one could only break up the big banks, governments would be far more resilient to bailouts, and the whole moral hazard problem would be muted.

This is believed partly due to their effect in reducing insulin resistance.

By and large, these developments enhance an economy s resilience to shocks and prevent economic collapse.

Others found that as interest rates rose, they simply could not make their payments.

European experience suggests that large scale systemic shocks call for greater financial support.

External shocks brought about by climate change will directly affect advanced economies.

The SRM framework includes interventions that focus on managing risks before shocks occur.

It also helps to shield them from shocks and volatilities in the global economic and financial environment.

The most immediate challenge is to safeguard the financial system s stability against external shocks.

As long as the shocks don t worsen (and as some become less acute), confidence and growth will recover in the second half of the year, and stock markets will rally again.

Those three trends are the ability to engineer cells, the ability to engineer tissues, and robots.

Antibiotic resistance, also known as drug resistance, was the theme of World Health Day 2011.

Third, financial shocks will be worse than expected.

Hend, from Libya, takes several jabs at the poll.

No teenager in rebellion against the world or his parents seems able to resist Che s alluring image.
