Therefore inefficient hybridisation of transcripts from the test species of interest to the GeneChip® target probes, due for example to the presence of sequence polymorphisms, will affect the overall signal calculated across a probe-set, reducing the number of 'present' calls, and as a consequence the mean strength of the signal for that transcript's probe-set [ 14, 29].
Skeletal muscle mass can be markedly reduced through a process called atrophy, as a consequence of many diseases or critical physiological and environmental situations.
One major factor believed to contribute to this adverse health impact of shift work is a disruption of endogenous circadian clocks by mistimed resetting stimuli, so called Zeitgebers, as a consequence of altered sleep/wake schedules.

This eruption style, called Vulcanian, occurs as a consequence of magma ascent in a conduit and a gas-rich accumulation region at the top of the magma column (Self et al., 1979; Wilson, 1980).
Ubiquitin tags the targeted protein in a covalent bonding process called conjugation, and as a consequence, the protein is sent to the proteasome for digestion (Hochstrasser, 1996).
Like the pope's, his appointment is for life.It is little wonder, then, that Mr Fazio is fiercely resisting calls for his resignation as a consequence of his role in the supervision of the takeover battle between Banca Popolare Italiana (BPI and ABNN Amro, a Dutch bank, for Banca Antonveneta.
Takeo was initiated into the secrets of a sorcerer clan called "the Tribe," and, as a consequence, he can make himself invisible during battle or daze opponents by staring into their eyes.
The most readily recognizable attribute of lymphatic vascular incompetence is the presence of the characteristic swelling of tissues, called lymphedema, which arises as a consequence of insufficient lymph transport.
Although we were unable to assess this association, participant C who was cognitively impaired needed much more time to use her personal call alarm - and as a consequence was lying on the ground for a longer time - as compared to participant B who was not cognitively impaired (Table 2).
