The OSI model, as shown in the figure, consists of seven layers, each of which is selected to perform a well-defined function at a different level of abstraction.

These results provide a demonstration of different roles for morphological/physiological variants of a single cell type within a neural network performing a well-defined function.

Complex networks of biochemical reactions, such as intracellular protein signaling pathways and genetic networks, are often conceptualized in terms of modules semiindependent collections of components that perform a well-defined function and which may be incorporated in multiple pathways.

For example, the complex logarithm is only well defined up to the addition of an integral multiple of twice pi times the square root of negative one, but the logarithmic derivative which takes a function f z) to the derivative of log(f z)) is a well-defined function from (nowhere zero, differentiable, complex valued) functions to functions.

It is because, from a constructive standpoint, ƒ(a) is defined only for those binary sequences a for which we can decide either that an = 0 for all n or else that there exists (we can compute) a positive integer n with an = 1; in other words, f is a constructively well-defined function on the set of all binary sequences if and only if LPO is constructively derivable!

These reactions are assisted by the iron-only hydrogenase-like protein Nar1 (human IOP1) which fulfils an intermediary, so far not well-defined function, by binding to both Nbp35 and the CIA targeting complex (Balk et al., 2004; Song and Lee, 2008).
