The phrase "a functional input" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to technology, programming, or systems where an input serves a specific purpose or function.
Example: "The software requires a functional input to process the data correctly."
Alternatives: "a usable input" or "an operational input".
Moreover, 16S sequencing does not provide any functional input about the community, since the sequence is not strain-specific.
This apparent input-specificity was not due to the complete absence of a functional synaptic input, as astrocytes that showed synaptically elicited [Ca2+]i transients to only one of the afferent inputs responded with inward currents to stimulation of both pathways (Fig. 2C).
It was observed that the afferents from the remained sensory organs project to a cortical region of losing functional input [3], [5], [7], [8].
This software plots gene expression over the Medusa network (in a color scale) by overlapping functional input data (microarray expression data) with interaction information (NOTCH, WNT, AD, and apoptosis subnetworks) and distributes the microarray signal according to the coordinates of the nodes and its interactions in the network of interest.
In terms of functional input connectivity, we found a significant linear correlation for density and strength of excitatory inputs originating from LVa of the home column (density R = −0.74, p < 0.001; strength R = −0.58, p < 0.001) as well as for the strength of excitatory inputs originating from LIV of the neighboring column (R = 0.31, p = 0.038).
In this work we focus on sensitivity analysis of a scalar-valued output of a time-consuming computer code depending on scalar and functional input parameters.
In this paper we demonstrate the use of optical fibre sensors to measure the temperature distribution in a lead-bismuth eutectic cooled installation and we derive functional input e.g. the temperature control system or other systems that rely on accurate temperature actuation.
We performed the sliding window analysis of individual functional (input connectivity) and structural (somatodendritic) properties at a window span and step size of 10%% of the relative distance between LIV-Va border and the pia.
Thus, hippocampal circuits have local mechanisms for processing specific types of functional input from the entorhinal cortex to generate place-specific signals.
As one of the major components, context validity concerns the contextual parameters of a test, which are often socially or externally determined in terms of the tasks with its specified lexical, structural and functional input and expected output.
Morris (2012) described a generalization of the Gaussian process often used to produce "meta-models" when inputs are finite-dimensional vectors, that can be used in the functional input setting, and showed how the maximin distance design optimality criterion (Johnson et al., 1990) can also be extended to this case.
