The chemical and physical composition of crystalline regions in this silk fiber was studied by manipulating the positions and size of amino acid side groups in a theoretical model, and comparing the expected unit cell scattering amplitudes with experimental electron diffraction patterns.
The different ways in which this biparental sex role specialization can be influenced was studied by manipulating the presence and absence of the mate as well as the presence and absence of an intruder.
Post-saccadic error signals were studied by manipulating visual information in two ways.
In an "inverse mosaic" approach, germline mutants that develop tumors with high spatial and temporal specificity are studied by genetically manipulating specific regions of the tumor, or its environment, by expressing either the missing protein, or another protein, suspected to play a role in tumor development (Manfruelli et al., 1996; Qiu et al., 1998; Chiu et al., 2005).
The proprioceptive disturbance is mainly studied by manipulating myotatic and tendon sensors since the manipulation of articular sensors is done with articular constraints or blocking.
However, the critical theorists argue that the positivistic disenchantment of natural things (and, likewise, of human beings because they too can be studied and manipulated by science) disrupts our relationship with them, encouraging the undesirable attitude that they are nothing more than things to be probed, consumed and dominated.
By mixing dissociated mouse neurons from cortex and striatum, synaptic connections that form can be studied and manipulated genetically or pharmacologically (Randall et al., 2011).
Magnetic as well as half-metallic properties of 2D materials are especially attractive topics of study, because they can be tuned by manipulating geometry[5, 6], doping, and adsorption[7 17].
A new study shows that the pain threshold can be heightened by manipulating a particular neurotransmitter, at least in rats.
These studies suggest that cell death due to stress conditions might be prevented by manipulating EndoG levels.
