This is, at least in part, a function of measures becoming targets, something that has unintended consequences, not least of which is the production of perverse incentives.
Some researchers have suggested that cognitive function is a predictor of becoming frail.
Individual genes can have a number of different functions and structures that affect their likelihood of becoming nonfunctionalized, gaining a function (neofunctionalization), becoming subfunctionalized (Hughes 1994; Force et al. 1999; Lynch et al. 2001), or retaining function.
Beyond mental illness, researchers have identified a cluster of other risk factors in late-life suicide, including physical illness and pain, the inability to function in daily life, fear of becoming a burden and social disconnection.
However, if our function accurately describes the probability of becoming infected in the simulations, then the AUC would be close but not equal to 1, due to the stochastic nature of the simulations.
Based on the complexity of their nervous system and regulation of neuronal activity, and their amenability for quantitative behavioral assays to test for neuronal function, planarians have the potential of becoming an important model for elucidating the link between neuronal activity and behavior.
In hindsight, the whole experience kind of bleeds together into a mass of time I look back on not unfondly, but I'm also curious as to what exactly I got out of spending two more years on education instead of becoming a functioning member of the American workforce.
In some cases, however, when they are not functioning well, they run the risk of becoming institutions of censorship.
Figures 1a,b and c indicate that the probability function provides a good fit to the probability of becoming infected.
So we are in the process of becoming a membership-run organisation that will function as a cooperative publishing company.
