[Read the rest.] David Appell has filed a thorough survey of research and scientists' views on recent temperature fluctuations and climate sensitivity at Yale Climate Media Forum — "W[h]ither Global Warming: Has it Slowed Down?" Here's an excerpt and link: Is global warming slowing down?
Its fluctuation is caused by the experimental errors, individual variation, and sensitivity difference in microarray.
Recent functional analyses of these genes revealed roles in metabolic fluctuation and arsenate sensitivity, respectively [ 32, 33].
Therefore, it seems reasonable to speculate that overexpression of RGS proteins over the stoichiometry with the mGluR6 signaling complex would minimize fluctuation in the kinetics and sensitivity of ON-BC responses, ensuring their reproducibility.
We detail the key role played by feed-back loops, fluctuations, number of interacting units and sensitivity to environmental factors in the emergence of a structured collective behaviour.
It produces similar scores to the full 20-item version, with acceptable reliability and validity, and sensitivity to fluctuations in state anxiety (Marteau and Bekker, 1992).
The highly damped volume fluctuations and their low temperature sensitivity, echo that PLFE liposomes are rigid and tightly packed.
Increasing the integration interval slows down the acquisition (i.e. it reduces the temporal resolution of dynamical measurements such as those presented in Figure 5) but reduces fluctuations and thus increases both sensitivity and precision (defined as the degree to which repeated measurements under unchanged conditions show the same result).
37 More recently, 19 it has been demonstrated that although the PBI is sensitive to sample characteristics, time and mood fluctuations, this sensitivity does not appear to significantly bias the long term stability of the instrument.
The natural fluctuation of BMLs over 6 – 12 weeks was analysed and sensitivity to change calculated using Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement as MDC values.
