Topologists grouped all of the shapes that could be distorted from one to the other (without being lifted off the manifold surface) into a "homology class" – a kind of generalised shape.
This process could be distorted by molecules similar to the sexual target hormones, provoking faulty imprinting.
As with the N&B analysis, we noticed that diffusion rates recovered by RICS could be distorted in specific regions of the image due to dark or bright moving vesicles and organelles, like mitochondria.
This shape could be distorted under the action of mechanical stress, for example due to gravity, but during the microscopy investigation, the droplets were submersed in oil, and therefore, the spherical shape is not strongly challenged in the vertical direction.
To determine whether incidence of intestinal infection could be distorted by persistent infections, the proportion of infectious episodes which could have overlapped into consecutive months was also analysed.
However, these estimates of the indel mutation rates could be distorted, because a sufficiently long deletion in a short intron is likely to overlap its boundary or a splice site and also because very short introns are selected against (Parsch 2003).
Simulation results showed that to map rare QTL with more than a 1-day effect, joint linkage mapping was not of merit, since adding more families with non-significant QTL would increase the sample variance; this, in turn, could cause the QTL signals to become vague, and the position of the QTL could be distorted by neighboring QTL in other families.
There is no suggestion that ICIS or any other PRA has been involved in speculation themselves, but there are fears their reporting could be distorted by misleading information provided by energy traders, or by anomalously priced trades designed to move the benchmark price.
In addition to the (frac {pi }{2}) phase shift, waveforms of S4KS could be distorted by the interference by S5KS (Eaton and Kendall 2006) or by S3KS when epicentral distances are not large.
Mr. Meeks, interviewed a few feet from the House floor last week, seemed reluctant to go into detail, saying he was worried that a story about members' cars could be "distorted" or negative.
