In the case of fishes, lgi4 may have been lost as one or more other LGI genes assumed its functions in peripheral nerve development.
This clock is remarkable for many reasons, perhaps most notably that no other region of the brain can assume its function if/when it is damaged.
This has seemed to modern commentators to imply an Averroist view of the intellect as a separate, universal entity [Corti (1983), 3 37], and the lines which follow (30 56), where the vertú of the sensitive soul displaces reason and "assumes its function," presenting to the will an object whose desirability threatens a fatal disorientation, sustain this impression.
Now, something new, an international body controlled by all governments, global corporations and non-governmental organizations will be assuming its function.
Most likely the formula will be for the US President to invite the Palestinian President to visit Washington as soon as possible after the new Administration assumes its functions.
First-generation devices attempted to assist the failing ventricle by assuming its pump function.
According to this model, the foragers produce an inhibitor, which suppresses the rate of development of within-nest bees (I assume its main function is to modulate MAB development and not that of nurses).
In this article we hypothesise that glutamate may be involved in the acute neurodestructive phase that occurs immediately after traumatic or ischaemic injury (excitotoxicity), but that, after this period, it assumes its normal physiological functions, which include promotion of neuronal survival.
It is not the result of an asymptotic sigmoid function; in fact, the used sigmoid function assumes its maximal values 0 and 1.
Given a nonlinear dynamic system of the form Equations (1) and(2) and corresponding parameter set (expectation and variance covariance), an optimal stimulus is an admissible control defined over an interval, say experimental time window, at which a cost function assumes its infimum (or supremum) with the set of all admissible controls.
