In pockets of the United States, momentum is building behind the concept of labeling genetically modified foods (crops whose genetic makeup is altered to increase yields and to more effectively resist problems like pests and drought).
Mr. Pleffner also wrote that a former Ogilvy employee who had been dismissed as a senior manager of the contract had told White House officials that a senior official of the agency had complained to managers in 1999 that the agency was not earning enough from the contract, and that thereafter "time sheets were altered to increase the number of hours worked" on the account.
In this study, the FHL gene cluster and iscR, a negative regulator of iron sulfur cluster, of E. coli SH5 (BW25113 ΔhycA ΔhyaAB ΔhybBC ΔldhA ΔfrdAB) were altered to increase the FHL-dependent H2 production activity.
In later rounds, the protein: RNA ratio, the MgCl2 concentration, and the incubation time during the binding reaction were altered to increase stringency.
Needle position and depth were altered to increase the possibility of detecting different N-MUP trains.
As expected, when parameters were altered to increase utilization (e.g., decreasing the number of available ORs), wait time increased, and did so exponentially when utilization approached 70 75 %.
The plumbing of the saturation tank in Community X was altered to increase the recirculation in the saturation tank to promote dissolution of the fluoride.
In addition, due to the smaller size of the CENTRAL database, some terms in the search strategy were altered to increase the sensitivity of the search.
Primary and secondary PCR conditions were altered to increase specificity of amplification according to either plan A or B. Both A and B reduced the extension time and the number of cycles of the primary PCR to 2 min and 26 cycles, respectively.
