Siemens says its connected-home appliances will work with your Wi-Fi network, and won't require vast dollops of bandwidth to use the internet-based functions, such as connecting to customer service: even a ropey 2Mbps connection will cope with the remote customer service function.
However, many sociologists argue that weak ties are more important because they function as bridges connecting the strong ties of different groups of individuals [85].
Lipid rafts have been suggested to function as platforms connecting receptor complexes and their signaling pathways [14].
Altogether, these data indicate that Iα functions as a connecting rod coupling the displacements of TM2 and R2.
That means they have to make hybrid systems that can function on their own as well as connect to users' smartphones.
Hence, 5G slicing will build on NFV to instantiate per-slice virtual functions, as well as on SDN, to connect the different functions belonging to a given slice.
Statistics could therefore function as a bridge connecting a part of mathematics with the sciences.
Array experiments showed the mRNA modulation in ALMS fibroblasts of four out of the six matricellular growth factors belongs to the CCN family: CTGF, WISP1, CYR61, NOV, all of which function as adaptor molecules connecting the cell surface to the ECM.
It was found that platelets function as a bridge connecting leukocytes and endothelium to mediate adhesion [ 16].
However, a recent report has presented strong evidence that perlecan aggregates function as more stable connecting bridges [ 84] though the binding to laminin and collagen IV via the heparan sulfate chains seems to be of rather low specificity [ 19].
