And these results improve our understanding of how the climate change will affect the function and structure of grassland ecosystem.
Although it is widely acknowledged that these part deviations distinctly affect the function and quality of mechanical assemblies, the majority of virtual product validation activities still rely on the modelling and analysis of the nominal product geometry without considering such geometrical part deviations.
Just as art can influence current events, large political changes can, in turn, affect the function and output of the art world.
TCR activation leads to the increased production and release of numerous cytokines and chemokines that affect the function and localization of immune cell types.
The neutral theory of molecular evolution states that once a protein has evolved to a useful level of functionality the majority of mutations are selectively neutral at the molecular level and do not affect the function and folding of the protein whereas those mutations which are deleterious (loss of function or misfolding) provide selection pressure for residue conservation [10].
Accumulating oxidative damage by ROS can affect the function and efficiency of mitochondria.
"Once in the soil, these particles may persist, accumulate, and eventually reach levels that can affect the functioning and biodiversity of the soil," writes Matthias C Rillig, a professor of plant and soil ecology at Freie Universität Berlin.
