Response shift is a theoretical construct that provides a framework for this investigation.
It's a provocative opening, but in a time when the term "brand" has become so diluted as to refer to virtually anything from people to experiences to toilet paper, the statement gets at the core of what brand really is: a human construct that provides meaning and order in the world.
In earlier research we found the typology to be useful as a theoretical construct that provided a framework to make sense of teachers' attitudes towards diversity (Meerman et al. 2009).
This allowed us to identify the beliefs underlying each IBM construct that provide significant independent contribution to explaining MC motivation.
Based on the recommendations of statisticians, we aimed to decide about the number of factors using SEM based CFA in our analysis of a construct that provided a solid theoretical basis [ 67].
It also provides a construct that can be further extended using data from additional osteoporosis treatments (e.g., bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulators, vitamin D).
Self-reported health status is an important construct that provides vital information about how one perceives and report's one's own well-being [41].
The construct that provided the most efficient transformation was one in which aphH was placed between a chimeric promoter that was generated by fusing the Volvox hsp70 and rbcS3 promoters and the 3′ UTR of the Volvox rbcS3 gene.
Here, we aim at combining the positive features of a structural, synthetic polymer to an engineered, devitalized extracellular matrix (ECM) to generate a hybrid construct that can provide a mix of structural and biological stimuli needed for adipose tissue regeneration.
To our initial surprise, despite using expression constructs that provided a common promoter, 5' UTR, N-terminal epitope tag and 3' UTR, and that differed only by the open reading frame (ORF), the levels of expression of nPTB and ROD1 in a range of cell lines were only 1 3% those of PTB.
