From a baroque, leaf-cut decanter by Ludwig Lobmeyr to the thin, attenuated muslin glass forms that have dominated the past half century, Muehling primarily chose pieces meant for celebration and ritual; the great thing about Lobmeyr, he says, is "they may be opulent and insanely expensive, but for the most part the pieces are useful and functional drinking glasses".
After successfully creating a product that was useful and functional, Sabharwal ventured into the realm of wearable technologies, with the aim of allowing people to better connect with their surroundings.
"We all enjoy horses and like the idea of doing something that is useful and functional," said Hearne, a regular sheriff's deputy who serves in the reserve posse as an associate member.
"Time and again," she writes, "experts urged the schools to de-emphasize reading, writing, history, mathematics and science; to drop foreign languages; to replace history with social studies; to eliminate high-quality literature and substitute for it uninspired scraps from textbooks; and to teach only what was useful and immediately functional".
Given the age of the remaining patients, the small size of the congenital atrioventricular block group and the limitation of the alternative Ross heart failure score (applicable only to infants), the authors nevertheless found that NYHA was useful and practical for describing functional CRT efficacy in this retrospective setting.
A high-density genetic map can also form the basis for quantitative trait loci mapping (QTL mapping), marker assistant selection (MAS), and functional gene positional cloning, and will be useful for functional genomics and genetic breeding studies.
These features, along with the stable nature of these cell cultures, suggest that these early passage cells would be useful for functional and preclinical studies.
Since the combined total number of common bean ESTs that have been deposited in Genbank (as of September 2010) is ~83,000, we sought to increase the diversity and number of these sequences to be useful for functional genomics and molecular breeding studies.
Therefore, the gpA33 ΔN-Bcat mice are likely to be useful for functional assessment and identification of mutations that co-operate with canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling during the initiation of adenoma formation.
