In principle, the rules are laid down in the vinaya (monastic rules) portion of the Buddha's sermons, but monastic traditions and regulations have also been shaped by environmental and cultural conditions.
The general island-wide pattern suggests that phenology has been shaped by environmental factors but constrained by mutualism: the short lifespan of the pollinating fig wasps requires the fig tree population to produce figs regularly (Bain et al. [2014a]).
The recent discovery of non-enzymatic, mainly metal-catalysed, glycolysis and PPP, however, supports a hypothesis that the first form of a metabolic network might have been shaped by environmental molecules that served as its first catalysts.
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa transcriptional landscape is shaped by environmental heterogeneity and genetic variation.
Krupic, J., Bauza, M., Burton, S., Barry, C. & O'Keefe, J. Grid cell symmetry is shaped by environmental geometry.
Yet researchers studying IQ say the social climate is becoming more receptive to such studies, in part because it is now widely agreed that cognitive abilities are shaped by environmental factors as well as genetic ones.
Because of the plasticity of root development and the almost infinite complexity of the soil, root system architecture is shaped by environmental factors to a much greater degree than shoot architecture.
By conducting a 2-year survey of a fig population in Northern Taiwan, we assessed whether the plant phenology in male and female trees is shaped by environmental factors or other selective pressures.
The award recognizes them for "innovative research and theory on mental health and human development," in which they have demonstrated "how early life experiences shape health disparities and how genetic factors shape and are shaped by environmental factors". Caspi is the Edward M. Arnett professor of psychology & neuroscience and psychiatry & behavioral sciences at Duke.
Finally, just as it is metaphysically impossible to "preserve" our species from further evolution, it is impossible for us to control the process "from the inside out", because the genetic constitution of our species is shaped by environmental forces of selection beyond human abilities to control or even, as the phenomenon of emerging epidemics continues to illustrate, anticipate.
Rather, the finding of an independent categorizing variable (subsistence style), which is able to unveil frequency heterogeneity also on a restricted spatial scale [11], [12], and contrasting EHH patterns [8], suggest that NAT2 variation was shaped by environmental features.
