Heterogeneous interconnected objects have acquired the ability to sense their physical status and environment, to function as actuators, and to communicate not only with other objects/nodes, but to reach out to a plethora of other applications via Internet protocols [8].
Nitrogenase, the enzyme responsible for nitrogen fixation, requires sulfur and a near anaerobic environment to function.
This would allow the internalized proto-mitochondrion cell to continue to function during subsequent evolution of high permeability in the outer mitochondrial membrane, and of an inner membrane that no longer required a high Na, low K outside environment to function.
As a Science Times article on wired textiles recently noted, electronic or "smart" textiles have electronics in the very weave of their fabric, enabling clothing to respond in various ways to the environment and to function as electronic devices, like mobile phones or heart-rate monitors.
Many invasive alien plant species are pioneer species in their native environments, and tend to function in their new environments in a similar way as the native pioneer forest species.
Specifically, we highlight the most promising approaches to engineering the biochemical, biomechanical, and biophysical environment to improve function of biomimetic cartilage and bone and skeletal muscle constructs.
However, alternatively the old cells may have simply needed more time in the young environment to regain function before the challenge with the cancer cells.
Second, we can use the natural distribution of genetic variation between environments to investigate the functions of unannotated genes and non-coding features.
Microtissues produce therapeutic transgenes at increased levels and offer tissue-like assay environments to improve drug-function correlations in current discovery programs.
Nevertheless, the available data enabled us to examine potential sequential relationships from built and social environments to elders' physical functioning as measured ≥2 years later.
