The investigation, conducted by Admiral Kirkland H. Donald, director of U.S. Naval Propulsion, found that the Taiwan missile incident was, in Gates' words, "a degradation of the authority, standards of excellence and technical competence within the nation's ICBM force.
Smurf-mediated degradation of R-Smads induces a decrease in cellular competence for TGF-β family-induced responses (40, 42).
The competence of C. cellulovorans, which changes to be suitable for degradation of each carbon source, was used for the method.
And recent news of major security vulnerabilities like the ability to completely bypass a computer's root password on OS X as well as the company's intentional degradation of iPhone performance have not helped the perception of the company's competence much in the interim since Jones wrote his article.
With the proposed approach, we clearly realized that the competence of the RST and FRBIS make this methodology suitable for land degradation susceptibility modeling.
Such inhibition of the oocyte degradation machinery might stabilize the maternal protein content which is necessary for oocyte developmental competence.
Garrenton LS, Braunwarth A, Irniger S, Hurt E, Künzler M, Thorner J (2009) Nucleus-specific and cell cycle-regulated degradation of mitogen-activated protein kinase scaffold protein Ste5 contributes to the control of signaling competence.
This demonstrates that control of protein degradation through trans-translation is by itself central in the management of stress conditions and of competence and supports a regulatory role of trans-translation-dependent protein tagging.
Although they possess numerous biodegradation competences, to date only one isolate seems to be associated with the microcystin degradation.
Such evidence includes, e.g., the existence of competence-induced proteins (e.g., DprA in Streptococcus pneumoniae) that protect absorbed eDNA from degradation by intracellular nucleases (for other lines of evidence, see the references cited above).
