[a]s an economic activity, pastoralism is an animal production system which takes advantage of the characteristic instability of rangeland environments, where key resources such as nutrients and water for livestock become available in short-lived and largely unpredictable concentrations.
The transient timescales are broadly divided into "short" duration transients, which have fuel delivery timescales shorter than the characteristic instability decay or onset timescales, and "long" duration transients, which have fuel delivery timescales longer than the characteristic instability decay or onset timescales.
It specifically provides that [a]s an economic activity, pastoralism is an animal production system which takes advantage of the characteristic instability of rangeland environments, where key resources such as nutrients and water for livestock become available in short-lived and largely unpredictable concentrations.
Interestingly, certain cancer types display characteristic instability phenotypes.
This expansion included the following: Two enabling characteristics: Genome instability and mutation, which allows changes in one cell to pass to daughter cells through mutation or epigenetic changes in the parent cell DNA.
We also analyze the sequence characteristics and instability of the polymorphic poly Q encoding region at the single molecule level by cloning and sequencing of the DNA region containing CAG repeats.
The acquisition of the six functional capabilities allowing cancer cells to survive, proliferate, and disseminate is made possible by two enabling characteristics: genome instability, which generates random mutations, such as chromosomal rearrangements, driving tumor progression; and inflammation by innate immune cells, which results in tumor-promoting consequences.
Patients with untreated SCH who underwent thromboendarterectomy due to asymptomatic severe internal carotid artery stenosis presented higher plasma TNF-α, IL-6, and interleukin-18 levels, and their atherosclerotic plaques presented an active inflammatory reaction with higher TNF-α levels and other characteristics of instability compared with non-SCH controls [ 26].
The reduced expression of phoQ may also be associated with the characteristic mRNA instability of sensory histidine kinases [52].
Many of the effects characteristic of instability and the bystander effect are present in malignant cells.
