The phrase "adaptive until" is not standard in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in contexts discussing conditions or states that are flexible or changeable up to a certain point.
Example: "The system is adaptive until it reaches its maximum capacity, after which it becomes rigid."
Alternatives: "flexible until" or "modifiable until".
As pointed out by Pilbeam and Gould [ 5], a relationship cannot be judged as adaptive until the changes in shape that result from size variations (i.e., allometric effects) are separated from those that reflect a specific adaptation.
That is, the effects not only become less common with progressively lower doses, they also become less severe, or even adaptive, until a level of interaction of a substance with a biological system is reached that has no ability to perturb the tissues in question from their normal function.
This network is inverted using an inverse-forward adaptive scheme until the network inversion solution guides the manipulator end-effector to reach a given target position with a specified accuracy.
In his thinking, nothing much happens in terms of adaptive evolution until the regional systems get into trouble a connection between ecologic and evolutionary systems I call macroevolutionary consonance (Miller 2004).
It has been assumed that the absence of light in the soil is the preeminent signal perceived during early seedling development, leading to a distinct morphogenic plan (skotomorphogenesis) [ 1], characterized by traits providing an adaptive advantage until emergence and photomorphogenesis.
But there is a long way to go until adaptive learning is standard in schools.
The production of signature effector cytokines had historically been considered a unique feature of CD4+ Th cells in the adaptive immune system, until the discovery of ILC populations.
Our approach involves iterative adjustment of parameters of a polymer model of chromatin via an adaptive filter approach until the CPs estimated from simulations of the model match those obtained experimentally (Fig. 3).
Upon L. monocytogenes infection, infected macrophages secrete a number of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, interleukin-12 (IL-12), and chemokines that lead to the activation and recruitment of macrophages, neutrophils, NK cells, and γδ T cells that control the infection until adaptive T-cell responses eventually clear the bacteria and provide sterile immunity [16] [21].
However, since zebrafish do not develop an adaptive immune system until 14 days post-fertilization, human cancer cells can survive and metastasize when transplanted into zebrafish larvae.
Phenotypic plasticity needs to be integrated into ER approaches, as plastic/buffering responses may keep populations above a critical threshold until adaptive evolution has improved mean population fitness upon environmental change (Lande 2009).
