At the same time, the accommodation of very diverse groups whose differences are fundamental rather than transient by giving them territorial power bases of their own has enhanced the ability of federal systems to function as vehicles of political integration while preserving democratic government.
It is an important focus of environmental interaction, but other entities, both below and above the organismic level, can also function as vehicles.
A variety of chaperones, including calreticulin, hsp70 and grp94, function as vehicles to efficiently traffic associated peptides into professional antigen presenting cells.
The motifs of songket function as vehicles that can bring forward the awareness of the relationships among the divine and spiritual realms with the physical world.
Up through 1787, Kant accepted the fundamental tenets of Stahl's chemical theory, according to which water and air are fundamental elements that function as vehicles for change in both inflammable and "earthy" substances, and he commented on particular issues in chemistry in his various physics lectures.
Interestingly, hematopoietic precursor cells harbour latent viruses and virus reactivation occurs in mature monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells which may function as vehicles of virus transmission [31], [32].
It is well known that plasmids function as vehicles for DNA transfer, and the characterization of the composition of pRF described above implicates as many as 32 of the total 68 pRF genes as putative candidates for HGT (Tables 1 & 2).
Overall, these results suggest that RTE-salads and RTE-sprouts might function as vehicles for NTM transmission in humans; hence, proper handling and treatment before consumption of such products might be recommendable.
Finally, Wingreen and Botstein [ 11] in Princeton University describe a first year graduate course in quantitative biology using a close reading of classic and pedagogically most successful papers whose nature and quality function as "vehicles for teaching both biology and quantitative analysis".
Interestingly, in vitro studies demonstrated that release of exosomes from neurons can be modulated by synaptic activity [ 40]; by functioning as vehicles for both anterograde and retrograde information transfer, exosomes could be then involved in synaptic plasticity and long-term memory [ 41].
These units can function as a vehicle for officers or supervisors (similar to a fire chief's vehicle, but for ambulance services).
