In bromeliads, absorbent tank roots may constitute a highly characteristic specialized root system that penetrates the spaces between the basal parts of tank-forming leaves.
This last group has a number of unique characteristics, including specialized forms of metabolism and membrane lipids.
As basal keratinocytes move upward and differentiate along the way to the skin surface, they acquire layer-specific characteristics, including specialized epidermal keratins and cell junctions.
Increased TEER, coupled with the expression of tight junction associated molecules, represent unique characteristics of specialized barrier-forming endothelial cells.
MSCTA images were interpreted by two experienced observers blind to the patient's characteristics using specialized software (Ziostation; Ziosoft, Tokyo, Japan).
Fourth, results may be influenced by different characteristics of specialized retrieval teams, such as team composition, whether or not a team received specific training and the kind of equipment used.
While unsupervised methods may show favorable operating characteristics in specialized settings—such as when biological variables contribute relatively negligible signal to the data it has been shown they make assumptions about data that are commonly invalidated in practice (Dabney and Storey, 2007; Irizarry et al., 2006).
The characteristic part of Australia's plant life that is little shared with other lands, together with those specialized characteristics that apparently originated on the continent long ago, form what has been designated as an Australian (or autochthonous) element.
Relationships to other mammalian groups have been difficult to determine because of the puzzling combination of primitive features and specialized characteristics, a phenomenon known as mosaic evolution.
Leukocyte capture depends on specialized characteristics of these receptors, particularly the binding kinetics.
