Although functional convergence does occur in protein genes [ 48], nothing approaching the extent that must be invoked for rpl36 has been shown.
In fact, researchers estimate that a corpus of 100 to 500 billion concepts or "entities" would likely begin to approach the full extent of all useful human knowledge.
With this approach, the extent of nerve injury can be quantified.
More specifically, using a decompositional regression analysis approach, the extent to which the strength of the relationship between trust and general confidence is dependent upon a particular food chain actor (for example, food manufacturers) is assessed.
Unlike other approaches, the extent of discectomy that can be performed is limited with the TLIF [ 9].
We predict that, as larger sequence datasets become available from HTS approaches, the extent of diversity in the antigen-driven TcR repertoire response will increase dramatically.
In the judgment approach, the extent to which informants agree about someone's personality traits is usually seen as evidence of consistency of personality characteristics (McCrae & Costa, 1987).
This mixed methods approach is part of an ongoing debate and although some scholars argue for such an approach, the extent to which it is actually done leaves much to desire [ 3, 4].
Alternatively, if adopting a binary approach, the extent to which 'unaffected' siblings of probands show the second trait (such as poor performance on a cognitive task) can be studied as an indicator of an endophenotype.
In such cases, it is best to evaluate the future response of each stand by focusing on two different approaches: the extent of the change in the performance of the current population in response to the predicted climatic change (Rehfeldt et al. 2002), and the difference between the performance of the current population and that of an 'optimal' population under global warming.
