This view departs from the standard conception and theory in its characterization of action ("doing something") in terms of the "adaptive regulation" of the agent's "coupling with the environment" and in terms of metabolic self-maintenance (inspired by Varela et al. 1974).
We used 3 criteria (electrophysiological characterization of action potentials, force generation, and gene expression profile) to validate that the isolation procedure did not adversely affect the cardiomyocytes, indicati that the drug-isolated cardiomyocytes were physiologically normal.
The goal of our study is to overcome these limitations by utilizing optical mapping, the technology, which enables detailed spatiotemporal characterization of action potential alternans and which has been proved particularly to be valuable for the analysis of the alternans' mechanisms [ 10– 13].
Although, most of studies reviewed are preliminary in nature, detailed isolation, characterization, mechanisms of actions of these of isolated compounds, safety studies, quality control as well as clinical trials on some of these herbs and their isolated compounds is far from satisfactory.
In the next section we shall provide more precise characterizations of action at a distance and in light of these characterizations reconsider the question of the nature of action at a distance in the GRW/Pearle collapse models.
This paper provides an empirical characterization of user actions at the web browser.
Judith Miller's integrity, courage and, yes, patriotism contrast starkly with Judge Thomas F. Hogan's demeaning characterization of her actions as those of a child who can't keep her hand from the cookie jar.
Scot Peterson, the deputy who was outside of Stoneman Douglas during the shooting, has disputed Israel's characterization of his actions that day, though, so far, audio and video seem to back up Israel's account.
And the question is why should that be irrelevant?" The solicitor general: "I don't think that that's a fair characterization of the actions of Congress here, Justice Kagan.
We provide a detailed characterization of browser actions via rewrite rules and show how our models can be naturally model-checked by using the Linear Temporal Logic of Rewriting (LTLR), which is a Linear Temporal Logic that is specifically designed for model-checking rewrite theories.
