This kind of loss of function can occur because of mutation bias, and/or because the function had a cost, and once the benefit of the function disappeared, natural selection leads to the loss.
Shifts in psychometric curves do not necessarily imply corresponding shifts in a particular underlying psychophysical function; this is so because the performance function has multiple inputs that are combined in scalar fashion (Fig. 3a).
Soil nitrogen was higher in areas under L. cuneifolia and without BSC cover, suggesting that litterfall inputs currently exceed those from soil crust N2 fixation, perhaps because crust function has not yet recovered.
Others and we have since confirmed ß-catenin and TCF4 binding to the -335 kb WRE and because its function has been studied in colorectal cancer cells, it was not considered further in this report [24], [26].
Ec-moeB was included in the study because its function has been extensively characterized.
It has previously been proposed that BRCA1-mutation is associated with BLBC because BRCA1 function has stem cell regulation properties and because loss of BRCA1 impairs DNA damage repair during epithelial cell differentiation [ 55].
Such training induced changes in executive function are important because reduced executive function has been associated with gait impairments, reduced obstacle avoidance ability and falling [ 14, 15, 17].
These data are important because poorer physical function has been associated with greater health care utilization and increased mortality in both veterans and civilians [ 6, 7].
This restricts the use of the T S method because this type of membership function has been widely used during the last two decades in the stability, controller design and are popular in industrial control applications.
