The VFT domain being close to that of class-C GPCRs in particular GABAB receptors and the TK one being close to that of IR, it suggests an original mode of functioning for a RTK.
Low-level responses are relatively predefined and may not always be accurate, but they are quick and provide the system with a basic mode of functioning in terms of built-in goals and behavioural responses.
The tight connection described above between RPN4 and PDR1 reflects a third mode of functioning for the PDR pathway.
Today we can see an emerging landscape of at least seven acupuncture points that, if focused on simultaneously, would allow us to fully update the economic operating system by shifting it from an ego-system to an eco-system mode of functioning.
Each of us has an automatic "default mode" of functioning that is based upon our life experiences, especially those from our early years, and encoded in the older structures of the brain which govern motivation, emotion, and memory.
Since Broad is silent on this issue, he presumably takes presentedness to be a primitive property, whose character and mode of functioning cannot usefully be elucidated.
Cognitive style, manifested perceptually as field-dependence--field-independence, is a salient dimension influencing characteristic modes of functioning in a diversity of areas.
Humans simultaneously have two modes of functioning, like an AC device which can both heat or cool – the tendency to form stable couples and that of having multiple sex partners.
According to this conception of art as a mode of reflection, the function of a work of art is to present humans with the totality of the objective, historical reality within an "homogeneous medium" (such as pure visibility in painting or poetic language in poetry, see GW 11: 642).
However, the visible attenuation of growth inhibition upon their depletion indicates a prominent role for these GTPases in resolving chlamydia infection – an observation consistent with a potentiating mode of function for hGBPs.
