This root-and-branch determination turned what might have been a noble, if controversial, vehicle for intelligence reform into something destructive.
Any evaluation of the accuracy of the executive branch's determination that a person is an enemy combatant, for example, would require courts to consider, first, what activities the detainee was engaged in during the period leading up to his seizure and, second, whether those activities rendered him a combatant..
As Porter says: "What we really need is this root-and-branch determination to say what is going to happen about the resource gap that is opening up and to step back from the political games".
By investigating the dynamics of gene expression, genes potentially involved in trichome cell fate determination, branch formation, and growth directionality were identified.
This methodology permitted the accurate detection of fine branches extending from thick processes (branch analysis) and determination of the total number of cellular extensions generated by individual cells and all the cells in the images (total outgrowth).
Solution and melt 13C NMR has been established as a useful tool for a quantitative determination of branch content of short- and long-chain branched polyethylenes while XRD can reveal important information on the morphology, structure and the degree of crystallinity of polythene [6, 7, 8].
In the present paper we report the synthesis of high molecular weight polyethylene using Zr-based single site catalyst and results of the use of melt-state 13C MAS NMR and X-ray diffraction techniques for the determination of branch content of long-chain polyethylene's and their crystal structure.
Thus, our results suggest that Crk and CrkL, as well as Reelin signaling, are not essential for determination of branch angle and the segment length during dendritogenesis.
Tracing the causative links from genes to courtship behavior is thus most likely to be productive by following the fru branch of the sex determination pathway.
