Specifically, we investigated whether, similar to language, an expression has to be scanned sequentially while the nested syntactic structure is being computed or, alternatively, whether this structure can be extracted quickly and in parallel.
Since the expression pattern of overexpressed hClC-6 in COS-1 and HeLa cells differed from the endogenous hClC-6 distribution in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells, we investigated whether this discrepancy reflects cell type-specific differences in protein sorting in the endosomal system or, alternatively, whether this is the result of overexpression.
Although factors such as knowledge of what postgraduate training entails is associated with intentions to emigrate, it is unclear whether this lack of knowledge causes people to decide to emigrate or, alternatively, whether those who intend to migrate do not seek such information.
But Budge faced questions both about whether he had overborrowed and paid too much or alternatively whether the government had let him have the industry on the cheap.
Spatially lagged regression models are employed to analyse whether spatial dependence between proximate inland ports can be observed or, alternatively, whether the density of the inland port network in the Netherlands is leading to diseconomies of scale because of overproximity.
citizens out there, please make sure before you come over--that you fully understand what health, dental, and other benefits accompany a grant-funded position or, alternatively, whether the institution to which you are heading has a health care package for their researchers.
Allied intentions on issues of utmost importance to the Japanese, including whether Hirohito was to be regarded as one of those who had "misled the people of Japan" or even a war criminal, or alternatively, whether the Emperor might become part of a "peacefully inclined and responsible government" were thus left unstated.
We therefore asked whether promoter reactivation stabilized under selective conditions or alternatively whether the reactivated promoters retained a memory of silencing, as defined by high frequency re-silencing.
Determining whether Chamaecrista has the papilionoid WGD therefore will test whether the common ancestor shared with papilionoids was already polyploid, or, alternatively, whether the WGD known from Glycine and Medicago is confined to papilionoids.
Thus, our first aim here was to determine whether the pool of β-catenin regulated by estradiol acts as a co-transcriptional modulator using canonical TCF-mediated transcription or alternatively, whether the stabilization of β-catenin plays some other role.
At the end of each three-year simulation the number of bees alive in the colony, or alternatively whether the colony had failed, was recorded.
