And every single part of this mechanism is actually plausible in biology.

But the monetary policy story, while plausible, is not ironclad. Indeed, other factors may explain or at least contribute to current stock market trends.

The author contends that the State party has not discharged its burden of providing a plausible alternative explanation, based on independent evidence, to what occurred.

So, why is the ECB set on a tougher course? There are three plausible reasons.

The only plausible cause is the ever warmer tropical seas on which such storms thrive.

It is rare in history that such widely different but plausible paths stem from a common point. It is not difficult, however, to determine which one is preferable.

Although the global figure of domestic resource flows is a rough estimate, it is the most plausible one, given the fact that data are often incomplete and not entirely comparable.

But investors should be wary of this argument. It may sound plausible, but it is hardly conclusive, and, more importantly, it certainly does not tell us that high prices are sustainable.

The only plausible inflationary scenario presupposes that when economies recover, central banks do not raise interest rates sufficiently in the coming boom, keeping too much of the current liquidity in the market. Such a scenario is not impossible.

In sum, the only plausible reason for concealing the information was to avoid inconvenience and embarrassment to the State party.

It will consist of a global assessment with three sections historical perspectives plausible futures (to 2050) and policy and institutional issues.

Similarly, while RRT does not attach weight to minor inconsistencies, it is not required to accept at face value the claims of an applicant although it may give the benefit of the doubt to an applicant who is otherwise credible and plausible.

These are plausible claims, but in truth, we can't see the brain's wiring clearly enough to tell if these are really true.

This is now, and the idea looks a lot less plausible. Why has the G 2 become so far fetched so fast?

Therefore, understanding of the interplay between gender inequality, violence and HIV can offer plausible areas of intervention to fight the pandemic effectively.

Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile. If thy Lord willed, they would not do so so leave them alone with their devising

And a similar analysis, I think, can apply to the potential awkwardness of a sexual solicitation, and other cases where plausible deniability is an asset.

This, the official doctrine of most developed countries today, contains at least five major fallacies, which pass largely unnoticed, because the narrative is so plausible.

The model called for the collection of pertinent information leading to a plausible case of arms embargo violations, under the circumstances of the Group's investigations.

In short, laissez faire and international technocracy does not provide a plausible alternative to the nation state. Indeed, the erosion of the nation state ultimately does little good for global markets as long as we lack viable mechanisms of global governance.

Indeed, of the various possible reasons why the electorate in 2014 did not perceive the economic recovery that was underway, the most plausible is that the typical American had not benefited from it. The irony is that rising inequality is usually thought to play to the Democrats electoral advantage.

At first glance, it seems plausible. Indeed, traditional balance of power theory suggests that US primacy in power resources should be offset by a Sino Russian partnership.

Does Germany think that its gold will be subject to sanctions or some form of confiscation as sometimes happens to rogue nations? Again, this is hardly plausible.

Fourth, NATO can not only bring important military capabilities to the table, reducing the drain on American forces in a turbulent world it also offers a much more plausible vehicle for serious foreign policy multilateralism than either the EU or the UN.

And in a more subtle way, I think, this works for all of the veiled speech acts involving plausible deniability the bribes, threats, propositions, solicitations and so on.

Indeed, the capitalists triumphant story is tarnished, as is our faith in international trade. So, here is the problem there isn t a plausible driver of a dramatic recovery.

South Korean students filling the streets of Seoul in 1986 could not have ended the authoritarian military government either. Again, it was a combination of events pressure from the United States, the impending Olympic Games, and the presence of plausible opposition politicians that did it.

It seems to me to be such a plausible, natural extension of the democratic principles we already have, that I'm shocked to think anybody would find that just ridiculous.

Determining the future international status of the renminbi and Shanghai must begin with a calculation of China s expected relative economic strength vis à vis the US under two plausible scenarios.

While plausible, this argument suggests that, as financial markets improve over time in developing countries, the global imbalances are bound to shrink. But such a reversal is nowhere in sight.

Lastly, the complainant concludes that it is entirely plausible that, on returning to Pakistan, he will be immediately denounced for blasphemy, arrested by the police, tortured and condemned to death.

These problems are not America s alone, for they are inherent to all efforts to privatize social welfare. As Americans and others look at this Gordian knot of public policy problems, we should learn one thing from the example of Tony Snow the vision of an ownership society espoused by Bush is simply not plausible.

This analysis, while seemingly plausible, depends on the belief that it is the supply of credit that is essential to economic health too much money ruins it, while too little destroys it.

Under two plausible scenarios both concerning China the unwinding of global imbalances could cause regional if not global depression. In the first scenario, China continues to attempt to maintain full employment in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and elsewhere not by stimulating domestic demand but by trying to boost exports further by keeping the renminbi stable against the dollar and falling in value against the euro.

Warren offers a plausible, moderate alternative approach to financial sector policy that would play well in the primaries and attract a great deal of support in the general election. Will the Democrats seize the opportunity?

Nonetheless, they have led to important developments, because the negative results have ruled out some plausible hypotheses. And, though researchers may not have found results supporting any one theory, they have advanced the cause of science by better defining the observational criteria any quantum theory of gravity will have to take into account.

Similarly, the fact that the complainant spent seven months at his father's second home, then two months at his uncle's home without being troubled by the police when the police were supposed to be searching for him for blasphemy, particularly after he had escaped from a police station, does not seem plausible.

Kagan s argument is that other countries cannot be relied upon to behave responsibly without strong US leadership. Like other hawks, he warns not only that dictators will behave badly if given the chance, which is certainly plausible, but also that democratic allies need to be kept in their place by a firm hegemonic hand.

Throughout the crisis, it has been widely assumed at least so far that the eurozone core would remain solid, and would continue to write the checks for the periphery s distressed governments and banks. That assumption appeared plausible.

That leads to a second and more plausible explanation, which is psychological and behavioral in character. We have a tendency to underestimate both the probabilities and consequences of what in the investment world are called left tailed events.

Ukraine believes that legally binding security assurances by the nuclear weapon States to the non nuclear weapon States parties to the NPT will significantly strengthen the nuclear non proliferation regime by eliminating plausible incentives for pursuing nuclear capabilities.
