The phrase "activated in part" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing a situation where something is partially enabled or functioning.
Example: "The system was activated in part, allowing some features to operate while others remained inactive."
Alternatives: "partially activated" or "enabled in part".
The more probable scenario is that the number of cards activated in part of November and December was an unusual event generated by Christmas shoppers.
For example, miR-21, which is activated in part via aberrant EGFR signaling represses expression of PTEN and PDCD4, facilitating proliferation, invasion, and resistance to apoptosis of lung cancer cells [7] [11].
Mucin production is activated in part by stimulation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor pathway through neutrophils and macrophages.
On membrane localization, AKT1 is activated in part through phosphorylation by PDPK1 and elicits several downstream cellular functions.
When activated (in part through a feed-forward autoregulatory loop involving the kinases Myt1 and Wee1 and the phosphatase Cdc25; not shown), MPF phosphorylates many substrates (CDKSs) that play key roles in M phase events.
The proposal is that in an arousing context, the previously mapped conversion motor representation is activated in part because of the abnormal functional connectivity between limbic structures and SMA, and cannot be inhibited because there is a disconnection between SMA and areas (prefrontal cortex for example) that could usually inhibit unwanted action.
The previous detection of ζ-carotene desaturase transcripts in the exocarp [ 27] argues against a model in which ABA is synthesized in the mesocarp and transported to the exocarp whereupon it activates, in part, anthocyanin biosynthesis.
For example, BT474 is a known ER+/HER2-amplified cell line [ 43, 44]; while MDA-MB468 is a ER-negative/HER2-negative cell line with EGFR amplification [ 45], which might activate, in part, the HER2 pathway as in a HER2-amplified tumor.
Anyhow, an Italian site claims that the iPhone 3G will be activated in two parts, once in the store and once at home.
Although the trend was not statistically significant, these results lend credence to the hypothesis that different amounts of calcineurin are being activated in different parts of the cell.
This study demonstrates that the regulation of these genes can be complex, with different batteries of structural genes activated in different parts of the mantle at different phases of the life cycle.
