On this view natural processes are directed, but always locally to the process system to whose continued existence they contribute, and even though on this view natural systems are attributed a rudimentary form of normativity, no claim is made about the overall systemic integration of nature or any increase in functionality at the larger scale of evolution.
This data correlates well with the concurrent drop in pH of these samples, as well as the increase in CEC, both because of the change in their properties due to an increase in oxygen functionality.
The review concluded that the project as a whole had contributed to an increase in the functionality of the health system and its outputs, as indicated by the interviews with staff and clients and also by the trends in specific services.
The phase diagram shows that an increase in the junction functionality leads to an expansion of the region of spheres at the expense of cylinders, and to an eventual elimination of reverse spheres in favor of reverse cylinders.
Our hypothesis is that immune and inflammatory responses triggered in the host during the development of ALI/ARDS lead to an increase in expression and functionality of FcγRs, specifically FcγRIIa, in the lung.
We hypothesized that the underlying mechanism could be an increase in the expression and/or functionality of Toll-like receptors (TLR), key receptors sensing infections.
For the nitrogen-doped HTC, the carbon K-edge spectra indicate an increase in CC and COH functionalities, as well as the inclusion of CN and CN functionalities.
With increasing species richness, the insurance effect is associated with an increase in the mean level of functionality, which is not exceeded by a similar increase in the sum of variances.
Electronic gadgets continue to cheapen in cost and increase in functionality, making technology more of a commodity.
Spacecraft systems increase in functionality and complexity.
