SNA aims to understand the determinants, structure, and consequences of relationships between actors.
Chemical composition, such as the polypeptide sequence of a protein or the sequence of bases in a nucleic acid strand, is a key determinant of structure.
Like Cage, Cunningham was intrigued by the potential of random phenomena as determinants of structure.
Physicochemical determinants, secondary structure profiles, and multiple alignments have been analyzed to generate a broad set of structural sub-domains.
However, perturbations, recruitment limitation and other causes may prevent competitive hierarchies from actually operating in natural conditions: the process of competitive exclusion underlying hierarchies could not be a determinant factor structuring communities.
Networks are widely recognized as key determinants of structure and function in systems that span the biological, physical, and social sciences.
These tools, it is argued, distract the research gaze from the complex social and political determinants that structure and constrain human action.
Anthropogenic structures came out as the strongest determinant of population structure, when evaluated against a geographically well-documented baseline model accounting for natural effects.
Our strategy to design a diagnostic microarray based on a new set of pathogroup-specific determinants is structured according to clinically distinct enterobacterial pathogroups.
