This developmental decision, made during the L1 stage, is regulated by both TGF-β and insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathways [29].
It has been hypothesized that smoltification is really a developmental decision made in individuals that have failed to reach sexual maturity in their freshwater habitat; therefore, sexual maturation in freshwater might preclude a marine migration (Thorpe 1994; Thorpe and Metcalfe 1998).
If we are to understand the mechanisms that underpin developmental decisions made during early embryogenesis, it is essential to explore the detailed epigenetic properties of individual genes in the early embryo itself, where cells are present in their normal developmental niche.
In Drosophila, one of the earliest developmental decisions made in the embryo is that of determining its sex.
This paper, which outlines activities associated with design of a personalised cricket faceguard for a prominent elite cricketer, uses earlier developed methodology to demonstrate developmental efforts and decision making processes employed in order to combine functional and affective aspects of design.
The four key research-policy considerations postulated by FHS are: developmental context; research characteristics; decision making processes; and stakeholder engagement.
Examples of topics on this checklist are unbiased selection of options, presentation of content, methods of clarifying personal values, evaluation of the developmental process, and quality of decision making.
Intervention Mapping provides a framework for effective decision making in the developmental process of (health promotion) interventions using five steps: 1) specification of objectives, 2) development of methods and strategies, 3) design of the programme, 4) anticipation of implementation and 5) evaluation.
This trait is therefore different from the dauer larva developmental choice, in which a developmental decision is made based primarily on the multi-factor perceived environmental conditions.
These considerations suggest a simple developmental hypothesis: that the emergence of regret facilitates better decision making in children.
Based on this last activity, the nucleolus can be regarded as a reservoir of regulatory proteins, acting as a sequestering compartment for regulatory complexes, or regulating the exposure of proteins to proteolysis during developmental decision-making (Hand 1) [38], hypoxia sensing responses (VHL) [39], cell death and proliferation (AKT, p53, ARF, MDM2, c-myc) and mitosis (Cdc14).
