Eighteen months after the passing of a category 2 hurricane, we assessed the damage types found in 993 trees of dbh > 10 cm, from 36 dominant tree species in a tropical dry forest on the Mexican Pacific coast that was impacted by the event, and measured five functional traits related to species size, architecture and resource acquisition strategy.
Social support was assessed by the MOS Social Support Survey MOSS − SSS) which measures four domains of functional support: emotional/informational, tangible, affectionate, and positive social interaction [ 37].
Treatment-related changes will be identified by measuring changes in brain functional activation and connectivity prior to treatment and following at least six attended sessions of CBT.
The ρ status was verified by measuring mtDNA content and four mitochondrial functional markers: mitochondrial membrane potential, oxygen consumption rate, cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity, and intracellular superoxide content [see Supplemental Material, pp. 3 4 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1104287)].
We addressed these questions by measuring brain activity with a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
To this end, we chose to measure by real time PCR (TaqMan) expression of two functional markers of Treg function: IL-10 and FOXP3.
Clinical measures of three functional movements were taken.
Soil functional aspects were evaluated by measuring soil respiration and the activity of seven different soil enzymes related to C, N and P cycling.
Also a moderate correlation coefficient was found between the sway parameters measured by the quantitative posturography system and the two functional balance assessment tests, the single leg stance test and the functional reach test.
However, we remained curious as to whether the periodicity shared by these two motility modules reflected a functional similarity, a hypothesis we sought to test by measuring the traction forces applied to the substrate during spreading.
