We have selected an exemplar well-characterised biochemical pathway, the phenylacetate degradation pathway, and we show that its complex history is only compatible with a model where a selective advantage accrues from moving genes closer together.
He served as a moral exemplar as well.
We argue that the case study method has much to contribute to the development of the discipline namely in terms of theory development, providing strong exemplars as well as testing theories culled from other disciplines.
We might see Newton's work as providing eighteenth-century philosophy with one of its primary models, and with a series of epistemic exemplars as well, but part of philosophy's task was to articulate precisely what the new Newtonian method essentially involved.
The critical difference between Damian's original study and recent studies that report priming with novel primes appears to hinge on the use of typical exemplars from well defined semantic categories.
Interestingly, although a Set2 subfamily including animal, yeast and higher plant exemplars is well resolved in our analyses, the putative Set2 sequence from Plasmodium (PF3D7_1322100) groups with Ashr3, a related H3K36 methyltransferase from green plants.
Although there were exemplars of well-coordinated care in some of the study research sites, our interest was in identifying barriers to the delivery of services that may reduce admissions for heart failure.
Interestingly, a number of exemplars from well-defined categories are included in Qualitative Listings 2 (Supplementary Material) where five or more participants were unable to provide a qualitative reason to support their typicality ratings.
He was one of 21 global experts interviewed for KPMG International's report Future State 2030: The global megatrends shaping governments; and was named "an exemplar of social well being" by Corporate Knights, the magazine for clean capitalism.
The included tests and experiments would provide the concrete exemplars required for easier comprehension of the model, as well as a confirmation that independent implementations and later versions reproduce the theory's canonical results.
The latter task employs typical exemplars (lion) of well defined semantic categories (animal, vegetable), whereas Damian's task used ad hoc categories (bigger or smaller than a 20 cm square).
