These dynamic chemical systems, having relatively few limiting reactions, can be conceived as a series of snapshots where reactions have fixed extents but otherwise idle.
For example, increased BOLD signal can arise due to an increase in the spatial extent over which neural activity occurs or through increases in the magnitude of neural activity that occurs within a fixed spatial extent.
For many of the C. elegans transcription factor gene families, the high confidence in and completeness of C. elegans/ C. briggsae orthologies (and beyond (data not shown)) suggests these gene families have been fixed in extent for far longer than the time since the C. elegans/ C. briggsae divergence.
A third function is attributive: that of fixing the extent of responsibility of agents for the outcomes that follow on their agency or intervention in the world.
The difference between narrow and broad meritocratic norms is that the latter assert a standard for assessing social arrangements in so far as they attach rewards and remunerations to positions and fix the extent of social inequality.
Further, human behaviour is not fixed to the extent that animal behaviour is, partly because man rapidly evolves different patterns of behaviour in response to environmental factors, such as geography, climate, and contact with other social groups.
The accuracy of the analytics is to certain extent fixed and bound to the adopted distribution functions for perturbing the data.
In regions where administration cares about innovative development, external conditions for R&D and innovation may be fixed to some extent.
During this time, the borders of the Empire had remained relatively fixed to the extent originally reached under the Emperor Trajan.
This makes it difficult to interpret genetic data unless the experimental populations are fixed to some extent.
