Finding that other animals do indeed satisfy such a detailed functional condition, in some circumstances, would then be good evidence that they were conscious in those circumstances; evidence that could be further reinforced by data about neural mechanisms (which there is not space to discuss here).
The NGL in event-existentials, can be analyzed as Setting Subjects (Langacker1991: 345 348): they are pseudo-participants with a functional affinity to circumstances.
In such circumstances functional relevance is unlikely.
Instead, although individual brain regions may remain functional in some circumstances, neural circuits may not effectively transmit signals in others.
Increasing lines of evidence have shown that the miRNA∗ sequences of some miRNAs are also functional under certain circumstances.
Therefore, if reduced heterochromatin is also found at the centromeres of undifferentiated hPSCs, this unique chromatin architecture may create the opportunity for sustaining a functional centromere under circumstances where CENP-A protein levels become significantly reduced.
These reflections gave a telling description of the patients' functional ability, life circumstances, and resources for or obstacles to managing symptoms and illnesses, that the physicians could follow up.
But the variation must be variation of a special type: first of all, it has to be non-lethal because if it's lethal it isn't contributed to the next generation; and second, I would argue that it is a kind of variation that is more likely to be functional even for circumstances never previously encountered by the organism.
In the present experiments, one may assume that SNGFR is closest to steady-state values in the Akita/A1AR-/ mice in which TGF is non-functional under all circumstances, and that proximal SNGFRs in WT and Akita mice overestimate true filtration rates to probably different degrees.
Under such circumstances, the functional obstruction of the gastroesophageal junction is caused by the residual myogenic tone of the LES.
