Cyber weapons are not equipped with "an explosive charge", so harm is caused by altering processes of the targeted system, rather than as a direct result of some innate attribute of weaponised code (Rid, 2013: 41).
To measure the effect of an altered process of care, directed by a computerized reminder system, on rates of symptomatic postoperative venous thromboembolism.
Prehospital fluid could alter sepsis outcomes by directly improving organ perfusion or by altering the process of care after arrival at the emergency department (ED) [ 9].
Hence, based on the fact that vitamin D deficiency has been associated with certain cardiovascular risk factors, it is likely that vitamin D deficiency could interfere with collateral artery development by altering the complicated process of pathological changes that may be influenced by these very same cardiovascular risk factors.
It is well established that lifestyle and pharmacologic interventions can slow progression to type 2 diabetes in adults with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) by altering pathophysiological processes important in the development of diabetes and its complications (1, 2).
An optimism bias can in principle be generated via a number of different mechanisms [ 5, 12, 23], and it is possible that serotonin could impact on expectations by altering other processes, such as mental simulation of future events [ 23] or increased memory for positive emotions [ 24].
This suggests that although both mutants may impinge on similar biological processes by altering expression of similar sets of genes, the mechanism by which sticky and dFmr1 effect these same processes may be different.
The efficiency of the biobutanol production can be improved by altering upstream processes, by metabolic engineering, by decreasing byproduct formation and by improving in situ product recovery techniques.
Several new techniques are performed nowadays to speed up the osseointegration process by altering the surface of the implant chemically (incorporating inorganic phases onto the titanium oxide layer) or physically (increasing the level of roughness) [10, 11].
Hypoxia plays a key role in this process by altering the response of progenitor cells to the other signals, which maximizes the expansion and differentiation of stress erythroid progenitors[3].
