Rising costs are threatening the viability of many businesses.
As the world population of Hawaiian geese has shrunk to very small numbers, the bird's continuing viability is in doubt.
1 the degree of chance that something will succeed:
the viability of sth Her role was to assess the viability of investment options overseas.
commercial/economic/financial viability This year will serve as an important test of commercial viability for the new electric vehicles.
future/longterm viability The longterm viability of the coal-fired power plants is at risk.
The method used more extensively is the regression of heterozygous viabilities on the sum of the viabilities of the corresponding homozygotes, as from.
Although the estimates of the viabilities of the t/t homozygotes are not very accurate, they are all relatively high.
After germination ceased (always within 4 weeks), viabilities of the remaining ungerminated seeds were tested with a tetrazolium staining procedure.
The loss of one gene alone does not alter viability but double mutants are lethal.
Neither is viable without the other and both require careful management to ensure that their viability is perpetuated.
Rarity of homozygotes is often interpreted to mean that homozygosity interferes with viability.
In our opinion, 23 weeks should be considered the threshold of viability.
The creation of independent financial structures made a significant contribution to the viability of the emergent institutional church.
