Jonathan Arthur told me that, although he hadn't inspected the site, he felt that the sinkhole that killed Jeffrey Bush had characteristics that could be considered unusual.
Charm, wit, talent, kindness, and generosity certainly help, but only if they complement characteristics that could be more readily converted into social or professional capital.
Studies of women had made it eminently clear that there were very few characteristics that could be attributed both exclusively and universally to one sex or the other; whether one was expected to be strong or weak, aggressive or passive, serious or humorous, disciplinarian or nurturing, and so on depended on cultural expectations, not on biology.
"I don't consider myself an artist," he tells me, "but some of my photos have characteristics that could be described as 'artistic'artistic
But the number of characteristics that could be included in the model may be clearly limited by this assumption of nonsingularity.
Databases, such as BRENDA [5], have experimentally determined values for many enzymatic characteristics that could be used in determining the gene of choice for each reaction step.
Finally, the results of this review-paper provide a data basis of values for FW characteristics that could be used for AD process design and environmental assessment.
The approach used here enabled the generation of a thermostable, antigenic WIV vaccine powder with desired physical characteristics that could be potentially used for pulmonary administration.
A Couette–Taylor bioreactor device, commercialized by Synthecon for the culture of tissues, can exhibit interesting hydrodynamics and mass-transfer characteristics that could be well suited for the culture of animal cells in suspension.
It is often useful to include firm and year fixed effects in these models, especially when panel data is being utilized, since this soaks up the unobserved heterogeneity (attributable to firm- or time-specific characteristics) that could be affecting performance.
Interest centred on identification of characteristics that could be used for inclusion in breeding programmes and also on better understanding of the effects of silviculture on redwood in New Zealand.
