Formalizing the previously unstated notion of an animal 'tool' in analysis of human disease will diminish constraints on which non-human biological systems are considered useful for translational research, which will be enriched through extending the repertoire of systems and approaches that are available.
ORs appear to have experienced diminished selective constraint in primates (Rouquier et al. 1998; Young et al. 2002; Zhang and Firestein 2002), perhaps due to reduced dependence on olfaction after the gain of trichromatic vision (Gilad et al. 2004).
And considering we're living in an era in which we're working very hard to diminish gender constraints, to under-represent such an important character tells boys that it's OK to overlook Black Widow as a person, to consider her as lesser because she's not a boy, and to diminish her narrative or character traits as just an extension of gender and nothing else.
Starch-based scaffolds can diminish diffusion constraints and mechanically stimulate the marrow stroma cells to develop the bone-like mineralized tissue (Gomes et al. 2006).
Kent Barwick, the president of the Municipal Art Society, a planning organization that organized a series of public forums to discuss the future of the site, said the office and retail constraints "diminished the prospects" for the designs.
Undernourishment, especially in populous Asian countries, has diminished, with initial constraints of gigantic dimensions and complexity successfully overcome.
In this sense, it could be claimed that the role of the lack of demand as a constraint diminished for users because the users perceived that they could gain competitive advantages by following the technological development.
In later gestation, placental enlargement may be limited by maternal constraint and diminished developmental plasticity and adaptations to improve nutrient transfer usually take the form of altered placental structure and function, rather than size.
To diminish the physical constraints imposed by spherical joints, a modified spherical joint with large tilting capacity is introduced.
Indeed, as can be seen from the expressions of the upper bounds S 1 up and S 2 up, the wideband slopes tend to diminish as QoS constraints become more stringent and θ1 and θ2 increase.
