This does not explain, however, why minimal activation of columns with dissimilar orientation preferences had such a profound impact on the ongoing oscillatory patterns, as shown in Figure 4 A. This is even more intriguing if one considers that the disruption effect was maximal for the orthogonal orientation offset between the components (Fig. 4 B ).
The use of dissimilar preference weights in deriving the EQ-5D score and dissimilar demographic variables and definitions of complications may have contributed to differences in estimated health utility scores.
However, are the various threats of CC perceived differently among the three countries resulting in dissimilar policy preferences for renewable energy sources?
Dissimilar structural preferences for the O-linked and N-linked protein glycosylation have been reported, reflecting differences in the catalytic mechanisms of these PTMs (Fukuchi et al., 2011; Nishikawa et al., 2010; Petrescu et al., 2004).
The following three hypotheses can account for differences in Barred Owl and Spotted Owl parasite prevalence: 1) dissimilar micro-habitat preferences leading to differential vector exposure, 2) the West Coast region has a different parasite fauna as compared to the historic Barred Owl range, and in particular fewer Plasmodium parasites 3) Barred Owl may have superior immune health.
Consumer preferences, dissimilar growing conditions and incompatibility genes maintain these as separate groupings.
We expected that the particular demographic and ecological characteristics of the studied insular population of house sparrows would have promoted the evolution of mating preference for dissimilar mates to avoid the depletion of genetic diversity and inbreeding [ 6- 13, 72]; however, our results do not provide support for the "inbreeding avoidance" hypothesis.
It shows remarkable morphological similarities to one of its sibling species, An. farauti sensu stricto (An. farauti s.s)., but is dissimilar in host and habitat preferences.
Given the small population size and the distance from the mainland, we expected a reduced gene flow in this insular population and we predicted that females would show mating preferences for genetically dissimilar mates.
An increase in referrals could potentially be facilitated by greater recognition, as lack of statutory registration, in Australia, has been shown to be a hurdle to referrals to CAM practitioners [ 29].> Our study findings showing that practitioners favour registration is not dissimilar from data on N/HMPs' preferences reported in Australia [ 10].
