For he regularly employs a broad thesis of functional determination, according to which "all things are defined by their function" (Meteorologica iv 12, 390a10-15; cf. Generation of Animals ii 1,734b24-31; Politics i 2, 1253a19-25).
Overall, the ontology on vulnerable systems shown in Fig. 3 mirrors some classic approaches of hazard and vulnerability research, but also includes sociological theory in the form of a strict distinction between modes of operation of natural, social, and technical systems as well as the thesis of functional differentiation of modern society (Luhmann 1997).
The low expression levels of the predicted RNA candidates together with the observations that a larger relative fraction of them is found in cDNA libraries from developmental stages is in good agreement with the current paradigm of ncRNA roles in higher organisms and supports the thesis of functional polyadenylated ncRNAs.
Darwin, of course, was always more interested in function, and his thesis of natural selection was explicitly directed at the problem of explaining functional adaptation.
where '→' is the truth-functional conditional which expresses the thesis that all relations are internal.
By incorporating phylogenetic footprinting, the method reported in this study emphasizes SNPs present in genomic regions that are highly conserved between human and mouse, thereby increasing the probability of a downstream functional influence of variations within theses sequences.
The title of the thesis proposal was "The Functional Ecology and Mechanical Properties of Biological Hooks in Nature".
'Functionalism about truth' names the thesis that truth is a functional kind.
5 The thesis that asymmetry, including its functional as well as its anatomical aspect, is the defining characteristic of the human brain was defended in the second part of the 20th century, particularly by Marian Annett.
These functional data argue for an association of theses variants with melanoma risk.
The most obvious next question therefore was whether theses proteins can be grouped in functional clusters.
