And as Odling-Smee et al. 1996, Avital and Jablonka 2000, and Sterelny 2003 stress, animals' dispositions to modify the environments of both themselves and their offspring in certain ways are just as much potential objects of selection as are other of their traits.
Endocrine/metabolic β-cell function, that is, disposition index as measured during an insulin modified frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance (im-FSIGT) test according to Bergman Minimal Model approach.
This was done using available adult drug disposition data [38 52], in which model clearances were modified based on the knowledge of physiological changes during pregnancy.
This questionnaire was modified by Peng [ 37] according to Facione's California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory (CCTDI ) [ 38] and has been widely implemented in China [ 39, 40], especially in the field of research involving medical students.
The subjective perception depends primarily on the memory of previous experiences, whereas the objective response may be modified by genetic and other biochemical dispositions.
Measures included insulin resistance and sensitivity (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance [HOMA-IR], modified Matsuda Index, 1/fasting insulin) and β-cell function (oral disposition index = [Δinsulin0 30/Δglucose0 30] × [1/fasting insulin]).
Indeed in Bourdieu and Wacquant's (1992) assertion that the habitus is 'an open system of dispositions that is constantly subjected to experiences' being constantly reinforced or modified by them, we find a space for this reading (p. 133).
Interactions between components of the mixture not only modify the disposition of individual components but also their dose response relationship for various developmental endpoints.
The aim of this study was to validate the modified 15-variable Trauma-Specific Frailty Index (TSFI) to predict discharge disposition in geriatric trauma patients.
Parameters obtained from the finalized i.v. disposition model should be maintained within the simulation, while parameters pertaining the oral absorption model should be modified to reflect the gastrointestinal anatomy/physiology of an average adult subject.
