Sentence examples for function assimilation from inspiring English sources

With a flat efficiency function, assimilation corresponds to the area allocated to the tree, and with full canopy closure the total is independent of stand density and spatial structure (although it can change with stand age or height, and with site productivity).

A section on spatiotemporal patterns introduces scaling ideas that were used in soil studies such as empirical orthogonal functions, data assimilation, and cumulative distribution function matching.

Through, e.g., the associative functions of "assimilation, complication, and successive association" (PP II: 475-6).

The Lineage 5 core genome (cgMLST) was found to contain 1,752 loci, comprising genes associated with core metabolic functions, nutrient assimilation as well as DNA metabolism, all of which are essential for the successful proliferation of meningococci in the human host.

These findings are in line with previous studies underscoring that migrants' propensity to engage in transnational activities is a function of their assimilation at destination (Guarnizo, Portes, & Haller, 2003; Itzigsohn & Saucedo, 2002; Levitt, 1998; Portes, Guarnizo, & Haller 2002; Portes & Zhou, 2012).

In addition to genes involved in nitrogen fixation, about 40 genes in the genome of T. turnerae are predicted to function in nitrogen assimilation.

Consequently, the researchers classified these three factors as belonging to the ECF FecI group (type 1) to indicate a similar function in iron assimilation as FecI in E. coli.

Third, we made use of the ability of the Pta-AckA pathway to function in the assimilation of exogenous acetate.

This might function to increase assimilation of nutrients or avoid fouling the host [ 95], and avoid detection by ovipositing orussids, which use faeces to detect hosts [ 96].

Metabolic models of growth generally describe growth rate as a function of the assimilation of energy resources minus energy loss, largely through respiration (Winberg 1956; Thompson and Bayne 1974; Koehn and Bayne 1989).

Unfortunately it appears that most current plant growth models are ill-suited to perform such a task because growth is typically modelled as a function of carbon assimilation (mainly affected by radiation interception, temperature and possibly water and N uptake) but not as a function of other growth-limiting factors.
