What may be thought of at the time as a "disaster" — that bump in the car or that heart twinge — may be a blessing in disguise if behavior is modified sufficiently to prevent a real calamity later on.
Although directed evolution is now used routinely to improve existing enzyme activity, there are still only a handful of examples where substrate selectivity has been modified sufficiently for practical application, and the de novo evolution of function largely eludes us.
All the model tenets are based on the assumption that riverine ecosystems around the world are pristine or at least have not been modified sufficiently to alter their basic community properties and ecosystem functioning.
Western nations want to ensure that the Arak reactor is modified sufficiently to ensure it poses no bomb proliferation threat.
This scenario may change over time if the invader is capable of modifying habitat sufficiently, either through changes in the disturbance regime and/or shifts in ecosystem processes or with the addition of multiple new invaders, and what is initially 'familiar' to the native species might reverse and become more so to the invader (Table 2E).
Major managed to modify this impression sufficiently to grab an unexpected victory in 1992, but it helped to overwhelm the Tories in 1997 and again in 2001.
Figure 3 shows which changes in the orientation representation during 1-w GR also sufficiently modify orientation selectivity if adequately timed.
Therefore, it must be tested by co-cultures with HLA compatible lymphocytes whether these treatments would sufficiently modify the human melanoma cells to enable the induction of specific anti-tumor cytotoxic effector cells.
At present there are no treatments that modify disease progression sufficiently to halt memory decline in Alzheimer's disease or tauopathies in human patients.
For control participants it is expected that the 6-word concurrent memory task will sufficiently modify the attentional balance between the hemispheres, and in accordance with the RH disinhibition hypothesis, result in an increase in RH priming.
Addition of HNE did not alter the susceptibility of ANT to digestion by trypsin, and did not affect the ability of CAtr to protect, suggesting that HNE does not modify ANT conformation sufficiently to prevent CAtr binding.
