All organisms, including parasites, have limited resources that can be allocated to various functions such as growth, survival and reproduction.
To identify the relevant literature we approached the search strategy in the following manner: Due to the nature of flexor tendon lesions it is self-evident that studies referring to flexor tendon repair and/or rehabilitation include components which can be allocated to body function and body structure, e.g. finger flexion, grip strength, or pain.
If a gene or a group of genes fulfils multiple functions, it will be allocated to more than one functional group and by this reason appear at multiple locations within the treemap.
Reproductive output represents the energy allocated to egg production and oviposition that could otherwise be allocated to maintenance of somatic function, and the act of oviposition is associated with a risk to survival [18].
None of the tryptic peptides could be allocated to the domain of unkown function (DUF1943) and to the interdomain regions.
Additional outcome measures, which can be allocated to the ICF component body function and structure, include the evaluation of sensation.
Studies were excluded if the employed outcome measures could be allocated to the ICF component body function and body structure, only. 1) The DASH Outcome Measure has recently been linked to the ICF [ 39] and was therefore only allocated to the components in the current table.
UPS developers started therefore to design distributed systems where different functions could be allocated to different control board sections.
The pleiotropic functions of EpCAM can be allocated to the full-length protein, as well as to EpCAM-derived fragments, which are generated upon RIP.
Although it has been shown that not every regulatory sequence is evolutionarily conserved and that an apparent function cannot always easily be allocated to a conserved sequence [ 43, 44], screening genomes for evolutionarily conserved non-coding sequences is a widely used strategy to discover potential regulatory elements.
