David Post
We have led the world in terms of the processes we have put in place.
Malcolm Speed
One of the major implications is that it shows us how these two processes, both preference for elaborate mates and preference for genetically complementary mates, can both occur in a population. It highlights the importance of taking into account the environment in which the animals are behaving.
Kevin Oh
I find this more troubling than deception in the political campaigns. The level of misunderstanding and the consequences of misunderstanding can be much more dramatic. If we don't hold the right people accountable and the right processes accountable, we'll risk having another catastrophe without real preparedness, and more people will die needlessly.
Kathleen Hall Jamieson
The ability to hear and the direction of gaze aren't necessarily linked. It's exciting to find that the circuits in the brain that control gaze direction affect how the brain processes auditory information.

Tim Taylor
Our objective is to create a lean, agile structure, with streamlined processes that will unleash DaimlerChrysler's full potential.
Dieter Zetsche
For me, the concept of design is more than object-oriented; it encompasses the design of processes, systems and institutions as well. Increasingly, we need to think about designing the types of institutions we need to get things done in this rapidly accelerating world.

Vannevar Bush
But human occupation of the shorelines is at odds with the continuation of these natural processes. Here at VIMS, we've come to conclude that the least intrusive thing you can do on the shoreline is probably the best.
Carl Hershner
Service is now an agenda item. There's a lot of money invested in it. The problem is, companies lack the processes and systems that enable them to manage their service operations and to have visibility and control over whether they make a service call or not. That is a void we are filling.
Gary Brooks
Basically, I realized that there were a lot of things that I would have liked to have done but I never really had the time. Working with volunteers, working on the grant processes. Now I have that time.

It's going to be the most exotic place we've ever seen. We've never landed on the surface of an icy satellite. We know from our pictures that there are very different kinds of geological processes.
Candice Hansen
For the epigenetic processes, these are much more dynamic than DNA, and just as important because this is what controls what is being expressed and what is being repressed. Because of that, any type of toxicant in the environment that interacts with these processes can affect disease outcome.
Andrew Olaharski
As New Zealanders, we've been in on the United Nations from the very beginning, played a role in the drafting of the charter - it means a lot to us that those processes are followed.

Laura Didio
[Kiosks aren't the only technology that could be affected by new guidelines.] The entire airline industry evolved as an extension of their electronic networks and the networks' message structures and the quasi-automated e-commerce processes that evolved in and around them, ... What Sept. 11 has done, in my mind, is open some doors to a new architecture model.
Richard Eastman
The creative processes are so mysterious.
Jimmy Webb
Basically, I'm a juggler. I can put many factors in order, aligning people, processes and money.
Joseph Wise
The wonderful thing about nature is its resilience. The bacterial contaminants will not last a long time in the lake. ... The organic material will degrade with natural processes. Metals will fall and probably be captured with the sediments.

Carly Fiorina
Cartridges can sometimes be left in unmarked boxes on a loading dock next to somebody's eBay package. Often the most important data goes through the least sophisticated processes.
Jon Oltsik

We want to encourage these types of efforts by physicians to improve the care processes for patients with chronic diseases----leading to better clinical outcomes and, ultimately, lower costs.
John Little
The whole emphasis of the system is on empowering the end-user. We have seriously simplified a whole bunch of processes because everything is centrally managed.
Bill Farmer

Larry Framme
I don't believe you could have done this project any faster given the complexity of our business processes combined with the cultural and language considerations.
Carney Vensel
