Mr. Bloomberg, in a statement, expressed concern about predatory lending but said the measure was defective and "not the appropriate vehicle for addressing these concerns".
Although there is no single measure of defective meiosis, patients with severe hypospermatogenesis may be at increased risk for having disordered meiosis (Gonsalves et al., 2004).
Our experiments indicate that this lower level of cellular "fitness" is a relative rather than an absolute measure, as defective cells are viable when cultured as a homogeneous population.
To corroborate these growth assays with biochemical assays, the mutants that were nonfunctional and severely defective were evaluated by measuring the rate of S-GSH uptake in the ABC 817 strain.
Moreover, it has been recently reported that defective DNA mismatch repair, measured by MSI or by loss of MLH1 and MSH2 proteins, is a prognostic marker of DFS; however, its prognostic effect was not maintained in multivariate models (Sargent et al, 2010).
However these variants were defective in all other measures of GroEL function tested including ability to support bacterial growth at high temperature, in vivo folding of the GroEL substrate HrcA, and phage lambda and Mu growth (whose growth dependency on GroEL and GroES historically led to the naming of the GroE genes [ Georgopoulos et al., 1972]).
An election in which both candidates are acknowledged to be lamentable and defective is as good a measure as any of a polity that's fast becoming ungovernable, and at the same time is a formula for worse things to come.
To determine whether the silencing of endogenous meiosis-specific genes is defective in hip3-1 mutant, we measured SPCC663.14c+ transcript levels using real-time quantitative RT-PCR.
After replacing their defective parts (cuffs, balloons, pumps, measuring mechanisms, glass, electronic components), the instruments were checked again with the reference system.
We defined genes associated with each stress phenotype as those with a growth defective score below −4, then measured the percentage of gene pairs that shared at least one relevant stress phenotype.
