Because vDSGCs are all tuned to a single direction in wild-type mice, we were able to ask whether manipulation of Pcdhgs affects preferred direction as well as the degree of direction selectivity.
The degree of direction selectivity in the cells that receive signals from the SACs was severely reduced when the SACs lacked gamma-protocadherins. Direction selectivity was also reduced when SACs expressed a single gamma-protocadherin isoform.
At the same time, however, policy makers face questions of principle, such as the appropriate balance between curiosity-driven and needs-driven research, and the appropriate degree of direction by the state.
Here, the strategy opted for differentiation according to clinical immediacy rather than degree of direction, specifying that the MRC, along with the other Research Councils, was best placed to cater for 'research needs that are likely to require more basic input'.
AcuRite says it accurate to 1 degree of temperature and 3 degrees of wind direction.
Additionally, the authors list six scaffolding functions that tutors may employ: recruitment, reduction in degrees of freedom, direction maintenance, marking critical features, frustration control, and demonstration.
The camera viewed the solution samples within a few degrees of the direction of the excitation beam.
Rather, the adults used six strategies—"recruitment, reduction in degrees of freedom, direction maintenance, marking critical features, frustration control, and demonstration"—to temporarily support children's efforts until they gain sufficient skill (Wood et al., 1976, p. 98).
We attribute these contrary observations to the matching degree of charge transfer direction in the active layer with the charge collection direction in the entire device.
The complete, 180-degree change of direction was possible because Curiosity is a "discovery-driven mission," Grotzinger said.
