They are usually developed by drawing from previous research or examples of situations which reflect the local context, creating a story that participants can relate to.
We look in turn at the four variants of the motif identified in yeast under a series of example dynamical scenarios which reflect the diversity of behaviour that can be demonstrated by this simple motif, starting with coherent motifs, that is, motifs in which every transcription factor acts to promote transcription.
They are examples of topological invariants, which reflect, in algebraic terms, the structure of spheres viewed as topological spaces, forgetting about their precise geometry.
Hayek noted, for example, that market prices, which reflect the appraisal of millions of market participants, are essential for entrepreneurial calculation; they allow firm owners to choose the most affordable combinations of technologically feasible inputs.
Some metrics capture phenotypic properties, for example extrovertedness and IQ/adaptability which reflect lifestyle and ecology [ 29], while others reflect mechanistic features of a system/organism, such as the relative numbers of one-component and two-component systems [ 48], providing insights into evolutionary pressures and molecular mechanisms.
Many informants talked about "de-worming campaigns" in areas without clean drinking water sources; groups that provided free eye glasses without an eye exam; or groups that indiscriminately handed out vitamins as examples of particularly misguided interventions which reflect the lack of coordination and consultation with the local healthcare community.
There is a need to validate the type of exposure assessments for acrylamide that were used in the Swedish study using biomarkers for acrylamide exposure, for example, haemoglobin adducts of acrylamide, which reflect the cumulative dose during the preceding months (Granath et al, 1992; Törnqvist et al, 2002).
In warm temperatures, for example, black carbon particles can seed clouds, which reflect sunlight and may cool the atmosphere.
Individuals have attributes which reflect different personal characteristics, for example age, gender, health status, risk factors or event history.
Hair levels of total mercury reflect a longer window of contaminant exposure (for example, across the first half of pregnancy) than blood levels, which reflect recent exposure.
