MDC's insistence on the regularity of mechanisms is abandoned, for example, to accommodate mechanisms that work only once or that work irregularly (Skipper and Milstein 2005; Bogen 2005; see also Section 2.1.2 below).
Bechtel and Abrahamson's emphasis on the "functions" is abandoned to accommodate mechanisms that serve no end and to distance mechanism from this loaded term so often opposed to mechanism (although see Craver 2001a; Garson 2013; Maley and Piccinini forthcoming; see also Section 4.5 below).
It is possible, however, to read the MDC statement as asserting, not a factual kind of regularity, but as a counterfactual kind of near-determinism: were all the conditions the same, then the mechanism would likely produce the same phenomenon, where "likely" accommodates mechanisms with stochastic elements.
This brings us to consider modifications of the original HH formalism to accommodate bifurcation mechanisms from excitable to oscillatory behaviours that can respect this experimental observation.
A new pool cover is being designed to accommodate driving mechanisms for the neutron transmutation doping facility and capsule facility on the cover.
The strain-accommodating mechanism of formation of the saw-tooth microstructure in the L12+L10 two-phase ordered system is proposed.
The reticle assist device consists of a coarse approach mechanism, for accommodating reticle load/unload, and a piezoelectric stack for fine actuation.
Transfer structures, including complexly breached relay ramps, utilise northeast-southwest striking weaknesses associated with the basement fabric, as a mechanism for accommodating displacement along major northwest-southeast striking normal faults.
Variation in TA stoichiometry may be another mechanism for accommodating changes at the TA interface.
Currently, various biomaterials have been applied to promote tissue regeneration through different mechanisms by accommodating cells in three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment (Wang et al., 2010).
When the inhibiting metabolite and mechanism of inhibition are known, the approach described here can probably be generalized to accommodate the inhibition mechanism in our future work.
