We test the ability of contact potentials to accurately and transferably (across various protein families) predict stability changes of proteins upon mutations.
Mr. Graff's ability to influence the legislative process -- he was dubbed "the Godfather" by California Lawyer magazine -- stemmed from his impressive analytical ability, array of contacts and listening skills, and a willingness to use tough legal and public relations tactics when needed.
Others (n = 23; 7.7%) dropped out due to a lack of ability to contact them or other organisational barriers, such as that the caregiver had moved too far away to come in again.
The results clearly demonstrate the ability of the contact formulation to capture the behavior of the elasto-plastic contact of a cylinder against a flat surface that is experimentally observed.
The power and transparency issues become worse as the technology becomes better, and I am skeptical of the ability of the contact to provide enough light to be salient, or for the display to be accurate enough to be useful (or even in focus at all — they suggest a microlens array, good luck with that).
However, in assessing the ability of the contact measures to shed light on how these pathways might operate, it is important to note the limitations of the items measuring contact with grandparents.
CrowdCall also packs a few thoughtful additions like the ability to create groups of contacts who frequently engage in conference calls with each other, though GroupCall lets users repeat conference call setups as needed.
To assess the ability of latanoprost-eluting contact lenses to lower the intraocular pressure (IOP) of glaucomatous eyes of cynomolgus monkeys.
It also violated some of the key tenets of successful social media, by keeping parents informed of their children's use of the site and by limiting the ability of users to contact each other.
In order to determine whether the contact-dependent mechanism converts the APCs into what is effectively a "deletional or inhibitory APC" with active immunoregulatory properties, as opposed to simply being activation incompetent, we examined the ability of these cell-contact conditioned APC to actively suppress T cell activation.
In general, the amount of caring and concern shown by staff, particularly by nurses, and the ability of patients to contact dialysis staff were ranked highly, whereas the amount and delivery of information about treatment choices and prognosis as well as access to social worker staff and nephrologists were ranked lowest.
