We take a different approach and develop a framework that models classroom engagement as a function of students' conceptual competence in the specific content (e.g., the mathematics of motion) of an activity.
The DCOM® framework identifies behavior as a function of four dimensions: Direction, Competence, Opportunity and Motivation.
The COM-B describes behavior (B) as a function of three main factors: Competence (C), Opportunity (O) and Motivation (M).
In 2007, Büssing et al. [ 115] hypothesized that rapid escalation of high VA-E concentration may impair the function of competence of T lymphocytes in cancer patients.
Based on the recent findings and the observed differences in morphology and function of competence induced pili in S. pneumoniae 8, 9 two different models of DNA uptake have been proposed, which will be discussed below.
The function of competence pili and ComGC was also investigated in the two papers 8, 9. Laurenceau et al. showed that the long type IV pilus structures bound directly to DNA 8.
These and similar data have led to the important concept that oocytes acquire developmental competence as a function of follicle development.
Instead of evaluating vectorial capacity and vector competence at discrete time points, as traditional use of vector competence data allows, vector competence can be modeled as a function of the rate of change over time in days, giving a value we term "effective vector competence (EVC)".
The mechanical competence is examined as a function of D50 and percentage of fines.
The fact is, the policy status quo isn't just a function of bureaucrats protecting their turf, and civil service rules that reward fidelity over competence.
