Victor Davis Hanson, National Review columnist and former professor of Classical history at California State University, Fresno, who wrote the foreword to a 2007 re-issue of the graphic novel, said the film demonstrates a specific affinity with the original material of Herodotus in that it captures the martial ethos of ancient Sparta and represents Thermopylae as a "clash of civilizations".
TRX has a specific affinity with MIF, and suppresses airway inflammation by inhibiting MIF production (Son et al., 2009; Torii et al., 2010).
We also agree with the reviewer that beyond the likely euryarchaeal affiliation, there is no evidence of a more specific affinity with Thermococcales or any other euryarchaeal branch (see also the response to Patrick Forterre's review).
Readers were also to learn that "[i]n the body, strontium behaves much like calcium, with a specific affinity for bone, and is quite effective in producing bone cancer".
Despite the previous structural R-genes plasticity scenario, R-genes functional redundancy within clusters or in general between duplicated loci may be counterbalanced through microRNAs regulation with a specific affinity for LRR/NBS/TIR domains.
They can also be based on the adsorption of a given molecule to lignocellulosic substrates, for instance, nitrogen adsorption to pore surfaces (BET method), proteins and enzymes adsorption, and the adsorption of dyes with a specific affinity to cellulose domains (Simon's staining method) [ 6, 26, 31].
Their activation results in bronchodilation, vasodilatation, glycogenolysis in the liver and tremor in skeletal muscle [ 11]. β-adrenoceptor antagonists with a specific affinity for β1-receptors are defined as cardioselective (atenolol, bisoprolol, esmolol, metoprolol), those acting on β1- and β2-receptors are defined as non-selective (propranolol, pindolol, timolol and nadolol).
Here we report phylogenetic analysis of 6 core NCLDV genes that confidently places Pandoraviruses within the family Phycodnaviridae, with an apparent specific affinity with Coccolithoviruses.
In this study, we developed an effective imaging system for detection of inflamed cells using a bradykinin ligand (BK) or a modified BK (mBK), which has specific affinity with the cellular B1R receptor.
There were many groups of arthropods and echinoderms that also have unclear specific affinities with their longer-lasting relatives.
The major haplogroup, C4, indicates more specific affinities with the Evenks [ 21].
