Evolvability has been argued to be a function of robustness, i.e., the capacity of a protein to withstand sequence variations without disruption of its binding or catalytic properties [ 33, 34].
[Note that these built-in properties, especially the active-memory function, have been argued to be the net effect of neuronal assemblies, not a feature intrinsic to single cells (Zipser et al., 1993; Fuster, 2003)].
As such, the development of novel clinical strategies targeting at normalizing neurological processing ("training the brain") to achieve pain reduction and improved function has been argued to be a challenging new direction for musculoskeletal clinicians and researchers involved in the management of CSP.
Finally, the peculiar biogeochemistry of Phaeocystis colonies, especially the sedimentation of Phaeocystis-derived organic matter, is argued to be a function of the susceptibility of Phaeocystis colonies to certain grazers, which in turn is strongly determined by the architecture and function of the colony skin.
This was argued to be a function of significant ecological selection in a reproductively-isolated population [8].
The uptake of treatment by those who need or are eligible for surgery is argued to be a function of the effectiveness of the healthcare delivery services: services that are inaccessible, inappropriate, or unaffordable will not be utilised by (sub populations, who consequently live with untreated cataracts [ 5].
A critical issue as noted above is that by deferring consent seeking, a patient is being asked to consent for the use of data that has already been collected, or to consent to continue in the study, rather than for giving permission to be entered into the study in the first place, which is argued to be the key function of consent in medical research [ 30].
The basis for these differences is argued to arise from the functions that the olfactory system performs and from the unique neural architecture needed to instantiate them.
Therefore, the beneficial effect of nutritional intervention on immune function is argued to be due to other effects on the immune system.
The assumption on the existence of a utility function of feeling can be argued to be as sensible as it is in the case of utility dependent on consumption.
