When human cells are exposed to environmental contaminants, adaptive responses to stress may occur involving adjustment in the levels or activity of the genome-protecting protein machinery such as DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoints, and apoptosis (Hartwig et al. 2002; Sen et al. 2007).
The total time of each monitoring round was, on the average, equal to 14.73 s, of which 6.4 s was devoted to kernel sampling and transporting the samples into the imaging chamber, 7.33 s for taking three images from the kernels, processing the captured images and executing the fuzzy inference process, and the remaining 1.5 s for making the adjustments in the level of pressure in the mechanism.
Adjustments in the level of unsaturation of thylakoid membranes may therefore affect the capacity of plants to adapt to elevated temperature conditions in order to avoid a reduction in photosynthetic efficiency.
Chronic stress is known to cause adjustments in the levels of cortisol, glucose and erythrocytes of teleost fish.
Although our understanding of how these experience-dependent changes are orchestrated at the molecular level is far from complete, it is clear that adjustments in the levels of specific gene products is necessary.
In addition to this seasonal adjustment in the aggression level, we provide evidence here that T. longispinosus colonies upregulate their aggressive response toward non-nestmate conspecifics in reaction to parasite cues.
We abstained from this adjustment, as the level of opportunistic screening in the non-screened areas is difficult to estimate.
The absenteeism rate was pro-rated to the full month based on the number of work days in the month with an adjustment for variation in the level of influenza throughout the month.
A wide range of cellular responses occur when plants are exposed to elevated temperature, including adjustments in the unsaturation level of membrane fatty acids.
They also recorded the magnitude and statistical significance of the intervention effect with and without adjustments, and estimated whether adjustment made a difference in the level of nominal significance.
The starting point is to introduce a set of adjustments in the production levels of conventional plants.
