A genome reference sequence is a model because it is, first, "an idealized, abstract entity constructed from the natural organism" and, second, "'model' is used to indicate a promissory note about this organism providing a framework for pursuing explanatory questions and ultimately serving as a prototype for understanding more complex organisms" (Ankeny 2000, p. S267).
This big brick oasis in Red Hook really is art in the most fundamental sense, not because it was built by an artist and not because it's got white walls covered with arty stuff, but because it's an entity conceived, constructed and functioning in this world but has bold ambitions to be of some other one entirely.
Note, however, that to say that an entity is "discursively constructed", is not to say that language or discourse brings a material object into existence de novo.
In particular, the French mathematician Henri Poincaré (1854 1912) objected to impredicative constructions, which construct an entity of a certain type in terms of entities of the same or higher type i.e., self-referencing constructions and definitions.
Mansbridge et al. [25] use the range of discussions taking place on the functions of the EU as an example of a system constructing an entity by various elements: discussion among the governing elite, media, and national debates, with differences in deliberative intensity and quality.
Therefore, we constructed an entity co-occurrence analysis system, which is applicable to PubMed articles and suitable for gene, chemical and disease queries.
Irrespective of whether the region is regarded as a social construct or as an entity with material existence, the question of the border emerges, that is: how is a region delimited?
More than 190 countries and some 50 other organizations and corporate entities constructed pavilions and exhibits of various kinds for the exposition.
First the images were input into the MIMICS® software and a 3D entity was constructed using the built-in algorithm "Create Masks" and "Calculate 3D Models".
When variation plays such a dominant role in constructing immune identity, what then is such an entity as the immune self?
By composite entity, we mean an entity or existent which is not fundamental, primary or simple, but is rather a conceptually constructed (prajñaptisat), composition of various properties, and is thus reducible both physically and logically.
