These flesh and blood moments represent something new in the political sphere: The first lady who is no mere component of spousal support or secondary symbol of a nation.
Ford and Chrysler are examples of companies that no longer consider suppliers as mere component producers, but as partners in the creation of innovative products.
In the same work it is also mentioned that pattern centric design tools promise to be more appealing to the software engineers than mere component and connector drawing tools.
It is just a set of building blocks, and genes are mere components.
In a similar way, where house and techno tracks present themselves meekly as mere components for the D.J.'s seamless mix, the electro songs compete for your attention through domineering vocals, witty lyrics and extravagant amounts of trash talk and profanity.
Not emergent merely in the weak sense that a radio receiver's ability to receive signals from distant stations might be said to be emergent because it is not a mere jumble of components (Smart 1981).
Though they might be akin to emergent materialists, it is hard to be sure; their assertion that something new emerges at higher levels of organization might refer only to such things as that a computer is different from a mere heap of its components.
When something looses a substantial form, it is not annihilated but remains at least with dimensions and the form of corporeity (E 1, 21), as when a dead body is reduced to its state of being a mere aggregate of its components indicating its composition (cimbolum sue mixcionis) (E 5, 40; DOS 244).
New estimates, based on a tear down of a unit by Austin-based Portelligent, put the cost of components at a mere $220.
This allows discriminating the effects arising from interaction between the individual components from a mere superposition of their respective DOS.
Recent studies have suggested that the nucleosomal organization of eukaryotic genome, should not be considered a mere obstacle but rather a vital component of fundamental molecular processes, such as transcriptional regulation [ 1, 2] or replication [ 3, 4].
