The phrase "adopt a function" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to programming, mathematics, or organizational behavior where one takes on or implements a specific role or capability.
Example: "In order to improve our software's performance, we need to adopt a function that optimizes data processing."
Alternatives: "implement a function" or "assume a function".
We adopt a function-based approach to introduce elementary school children to algebraic content.
One possible scenario is that the mimp is a domesticated TE, which has adopted a function as transcription factor binding site, perhaps for Sge1, the transcription factor regulating SIX gene expression [ 26].
We recommend adopting a function-based approach that defines risk in terms of the ability to influence any key biological component the loss of which would be sufficient to cause harm to humans or other species of interest.
Our findings also directly point out to the necessity of adopting a function-centric, rather a gene-centric, view in the understanding of phenotypes or diseases harboring CNAs.
The basic procedure is to adopt a prototype function, called an analyzing wavelet or mother wavelet, and represent the signal using scaled and shifted versions of this function.
Following Weingartner et al. (2006), we adopt a parabolic function for the primary and the auger electrons and a function introduced by Draine and Salpeter (1979) for the secondary electrons, which were derived to fit some experimental results.
Alternatively, one of the duplicates might adopt a new function through neofunctionalization [ 22, 27, 28], or the ancestral function might get divided between the paralogs (subfunctionalization) [ 29, 30].
The agents adopt a trigger function to analyze the students' learning behavior from Internet as well as from classroom, evaluate overall performance, then send an e-mail message automatically to the teachers and parents to guide and assist the students who need to revise their learning attitude.
Furthermore, DEA allows us to adopt a production function that does not make behavioural assumptions about farmers.
The other fate is neofunctionalization, in which positive selection for beneficial mutations occurs, allowing one of the gene copies to diverge rapidly and adopt a new function [ 17].
