The yolk contains all the fat and approximately half of the protein of the egg.

Each unit is refined from approximately a hundred human beings.

We are approximately two blocks away from the next station.

Now used in agriculture, there are approximately 109 million acres of transgenic crops grown worldwide, 68 percentof which are in the United States.

One of the first recorded observers to surmise a long age for Earth was the Greek historian Herodotus, who lived from approximately 480 B.C. to 425 B.C.

Recently it has been shown that some North American frog and toad species can survive up to five days with a body temperature of -6°C with approximately one-third of their body fluids frozen.

There are three clear peaks in leaf cover at heights of approximately 3, 6, and 30 meters above the ground; and the very highest layer, at 50 meters, corresponds to the very tall trees that stand free of the main canopy and form an open layer of their own.

The technological knowledge needed to carved it was far superior to that for stamp seals, which had happened in the early Neolithic period (approximately 10,000-5000 B.C.E.).

It is archaeologist Steven Mithen's thesis, brilliantly developed in his book The Prehistory of the Mind , that approximately 40,000 years ago the human mind developed cognitive fluidity, that is, the integration of the specializations of the mind: technical, natural history (geared to understanding the behavior and distribution of natural resources), social intelligence, and the linguistic capacity.

Now, 12 of these months was an approximately 354-day year.

American paleontologists David Raup and John Sepkoski, who have studied extinction rates in a number of fossil groups, suggest that episodes of increased extinction have recurred periodically, approximately every 26 million years since the mid-Cretaceous period.

Such a rhythm whose period is approximately—but not exactly—a day is called circadian.

One study suggests that except for a 250-mile coastal area between southwestern British Columbia and Washington State, the Northwest Coast of North America was largely free of ice by approximately 16,000 years ago.

Flooding shaped the outflow channels approximately 3 billion years ago, about the same times as the northern volcanic plains formed.

To keep 40 people alive that winter,they consumed approximately 150 elk and 20 deer.

Wildlife zoologist Helmut Buechner, in reviewing the nature of biotic changes in Washington through recorded time, says that "since the early 1940s, the state has had more deer than at any other time in its history, the winter population fluctuating around approximately 320,000 deer (mule and black-tailed deer), which will yield about 65,000 of either sex and any age annually for an indefinite period."

Even if the new population is of a different species, it can approximately fill the niche vacated by the extinct population and keep the food web intact.

Edison was more interested in the sale of Kinetoscopes (for roughly $1,000 apiece) to these parlors than in the films that would be run in them (which cost approximately $10 to $15 each).

The deserts, which already occupy approximately a fourth of the Earth's land surface, have in recent decades been increasing at an alarming pace.
