Bacterial response to hyperosmotic stress usually involves a multiphasic adaptation, comprising a transient accumulation of potassium ions and an increase in the intracellular concentration of organic osmoprotectants by uptake and synthesis [ 35, 36].
The process of cultural adaptation comprises a high-level component, seen in the formation of patterns across individuals and the ability to solve problems, a low-level component, the actual and probably universal behaviors of individuals, which can be summarized in terms of three principles: evaluation, comparison, and imitation.
In addition to minimizing prediction errors, the goal of network adaptation comprises also an optimization of the minimization rate such that new behaviors are favored over already learned ones, which would result in a vanishing improvement of predictability.
The avian influenza viruses that have occasionally infected and caused disease in people without showing human adaptation comprise H5N1, H9N2, and a variety of H7 viruses.
Charles Mary Kubricht's installation Alive-nesses: Proposal for Adaptation comprised the transformation of storage containers in the High Line at the Rail Yards in New York into geometric distortions of black and white stripes similar to the pattern applied to French battle cruiser Gloire.
The third protein region that might be shaped by molecular adaptation comprises the α-helices D and E. This region includes both hydrophobic residues covering the binding cavity and exposed amino acids that might be involved in protein-protein interactions.
This summer, a cast entirely comprised of senior actors starred in an adaptation of the 1977 bittersweet romcom "Annie Hall".
Following dispersal and during pollen storage, the various metabolites comprising the carbohydrate pool change in relative proportion, a behavior that is understood as an adaptation for sustaining pollen viability in time.
(Johnny Depp and Tim Burton have discussed an adaptation).
The play is in part an adaptation of an adaptation.
From an adaptation by Christopher Bond.
