Unfortunately, the problem of characterizing the capacity region of a general IC has been open for more than 30 years.
Particularly, we consider a more realistic problem formulation in which the link capacities of a general-topology packet network are discrete variables.
A UK study suggests that PAs achieve close to equivalence in individual capacity of a doctor in general practice in the UK [ 53], while 60% of the throughput of a GP in whole time equivalence is reported in the Netherlands [ 68].
This argument, based on the alleged failure of animals to display certain intellectual capacities, is illustrative of a general pattern of using certain dissimilarities between animals and humans to argue that animals lack consciousness.
Consistent with this, proteins including a MYND domain have been reported to mediate transcriptional inhibition of other transcription factors [29], so it is conceivable that transcription inhibitory capacity is a general feature of this domain.
Notably, one of the early pioneers of stem cell biology, the late Dr Ernest McCulloch, stated that 'a minimum conclusion to be reached from the comparison of myelopoiesis and lymphopoiesis is that a firm linkage between differentiation and loss of proliferative capacity is not a general characteristic of hemopoiesis' (McCulloch, 1983).
The data-handling capacity of a memory device, in general, is characterized by its data retention property.
The gas utilities benefited from rising prices and the electric utilities that could pass on rising costs profited from a shortness of electricity generating capacity and from a general investor move to what were perceived as safer investments.
This capacity may also underlie our ability to think about future contingencies, so that memory is one variant of a general capacity for the constructive simulating or imagining of specific events remote from immediate circumstances (Schacter, Addis, and Buckner 2007; Suddendorf and Corballis 2007).
