DAVID was chosen for its extended functionality beyond enrichment of Gene Ontology terms.
The business case submitted in 2008 for introducing extended functionality (see box 1) was not approved by the Department of Health because, according to senior policy makers interviewed for this study, it was considered too high risk, although we were not told why.
To solve this problem the authors suggest the use of novel exhaust brakes with extended functionality: backpressure adjustment for the precise control of the intake gas composition.
We were advised that a further upgrade with extended functionality (still to be finalised at the time of writing) was planned for late 2010.
A reimplementation of this tool with extended functionality is currently under development and will be available in the first half of 2012.
The package also provides extended functionality for estimating confidence intervals for estimated model parameters and for evaluating the stability of the estimated evolutionary mixture models.
The extended functionality was developed and applied in industrial cooperation projects.
On the other hand, both lineages have undergone gene duplications and, for example, genes related with olfaction, immunity and reproduction expanded in the rodent lineage, suggesting an extended functionality [ 7].
Although not a definitive 3D organization, sandwich systems have been shown to promote polygonal hepatocyte morphology for extended culture periods and to maintain their functionality better than in monolayer cultures (Dunn et al. 1989, 1991).
By incorporating CNTs, the cracks will always be bridged by threads of CNTs, therefore maintaining the electrical conductivity and functionality of such sensors, and would allow for extended lifespans.
