Decompensated eccentric hypertrophy and cardiac dilation are characterized by a reduced functional performance of the heart [ 29].
In addition, the demonstration of positive interactions in seagrass communities, which are also dependent on the presence of engineering species in the community that facilitate the growth of other species, provides increasing grounds to expect an enhanced functional performance of mixed communities over that expected from a simple additive contribution of the community members.
It could be proven that dorsal foot extension not only leads to increased electrophysiological activity but also to a progression of functional performance of the quadriceps musculature, a link that has previously only been hypothesized but not empirically tested [ 13, 14].
Since it is a once-through steam generator and operates at a medium pressure (4.0 MPa), two-phase flow instabilities are a difficult problem (Functional Performance of the Helical Coil SG CNSG-IV System (1975)).
A parametric study has been performed to evaluate the functional performance of a pressurized multi-unit safety injection tank, which would be considered as one of the candidates for a passive safety injection system in a nuclear power plant.
How well does an organism "see?" The functional performance of an eye is measured by its spatial resolution (the quality of the image) and by its sensitivity (ability to get enough light to the photoreceptors so that resolution is maximized; Land Nilsson 2002).
A parametric study is carried out to evaluate the functional performance of a compound type multistage safety injection tank that would be considered one of the components for the passive safety injection systems in nuclear power plants.
In Task 2 we have described, in effect, the behavior and functional performance of a simulated Aplysia in a simulated feeding environment.
Functional performance of a cortical area depends on a well-tuned and area-specific balance between numerous receptor types (Barnes and Sharp 1999; Goldman-Rakic et al. 2000; Gibbs and Summers 2002; Bergson et al. 2003; Bredt and Nicoll 2003; Friedman et al. 2004).
The results of Schenkman et al. [ 16] indicate that apart from lower extremity muscle strength, also balance plays an important role in functional performance of the lower extremities, for instance chair rise performance.
