If, however, after a collision atoms tended to emerge in a statistically favored direction — that is, if the motions of all atoms after collisions did not cancel each other out but on average produced a vector, however small, in a given direction, then that direction would by definition be down.
Additionally, this was the first observation of the superb ferromagnetism of the nanowire, compared with powders, reflecting the favored direction of the ferromagnetism along the c-axis of the nanowires.
Without the aid of chaperone proteins, misfolding is often triggered from alternative base pairings or in the thermodynamically favored direction.
In addition, some reactions annotated as reversible in general, happen to have one clearly favored direction in specific conditions.
The sign of denotes the thermodynamically favored direction of the reaction as log is changed from its equal-activity value; for example, at log = -74.9, the reference model proteins of actin and bud can metastably coexist with equal chemical activities, but at higher values that of actin predominates in a metastable assemblage.
As an alternative way for vector-sensor array processing, by choosing proper transformation matrix, the biquaternion beamspace theory presented here may be applied to other cases, such as enhancing the signals from favored directions and block interferences from other directions.
Mechanistic study of the electrochemical oxidation of 6 in the presence of different nucleophiles indicates that although the electrochemical oxidations of 6H+ in the presence of different nucleophiles have different mechanisms but proceed in the thermodynamically favored directions.
That sums up the reaction of most physicists and radio astronomers to an extraordinary claim appearing in today's Physical Review Letters that space itself might have a favored direction--in effect, an up and a down.
The commercial silicon wafers possess an orientation deviation about ±0.5° according to GB/T12962-2005 standards, one of the two equivalent (100) directions on Si (110) wafer will be the favored etching direction, and thus the nanowire morphologies on Si (110) wafers are also uniform.
Such stability over evolutionary time-scales was the prerequisite for a potential role of these directions as favoring the direction of evolution.
