The chimeric nature of Thermotoga genomes suggests that these bacteria have a remarkable efficiency for acquisition of foreign genes.
Therefore, the accuracy and efficiency of track acquisition are improved with GIFT.
In addition, the design makes full use of the advantages of GPU parallel processing and improves the efficiency of signal acquisition.
Nutrients are usually obtained from the soil through plant roots, but many factors like soil properties (chemistry, composition, compaction, humidity, temperature) and pH substantially influence the efficiency of nutrient acquisition (Forde and Lorenzo 2001; López-Bucio et al. 2003).
This paper presents the results obtained from an empirical validation developed to determine the efficiency of knowledge acquisition in the externalization phase of Nonaka's model, using a set of software engineering elicitation techniques.
We improved the efficiency of tomographic acquisition from vitreous cryosections by implementing two new features: (1) fluorescence microscopy at cryogenic temperatures to search for features of interest without expending any of the tolerable electron dose on secondary (non-imaging) tasks, and (2) the use of colloidal gold as fiducial markers.
This was done so that the effects of the specific donor molecules could be distinguished from those associated with differences in the efficiency of iron acquisition from them.
It may reflect a reduced efficiency of energy acquisition and processing during lactation in non-capital breeders [50], [51], a failure to minimize the thermoregulatory losses of dependent offspring [52] and/or a substantially higher level of general activity due to increased sensitivity to disturbance [53].
Potential benefits of motility may include increased efficiency of nutrient acquisition and avoidance of toxic substances (An et al. 2006).
This was to avoid larval 'shadows' in the movies, which result in much lower efficiency of data acquisition.
Performing analysis along the slow axis of repeated B-scans reduces the scan time through parallelization and improves efficiency of data acquisition.
