We use a large archaeological charcoal collection, drawn from numerous geographically and functionally varied contexts, to develop a multi-scalar vegetation history of Marquesas Islands' lowland forests.
This so-called "cysteine-stabilized α-helix and β-sheet (CSαβ)" motif is found in a number of functionally varied small proteins.
Recent studies have shown that these functionally important genes vary not only between individuals but the frequency of their occurrence also differs between human populations28.
According to an inhomogeneous parameter, the material properties of functionally graded materials vary smoothly through the thickness.
It is assumed in analysis that the mechanical properties of the functionally graded plates vary continuously through the thickness of the plate and obey a power law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents.
The effective material properties of functionally graded structures vary continuously in the thickness direction according the general four-parameter power law distributions in terms of volume fraction of constituents, and are estimated by Voigt's rule of mixture.
Protection levels of functionally important sites vary across plants and proteins: r-strategists minimize mutation costs in large genes; K-strategists do the opposite.
In particular, the known virulence-associated genes, VacA and CagA, are more likely to contain nonsynonymous variation, suggesting selection pressure on these proteins to vary functionally and structurally to avoid recognition (Datta et al. 2003).
It also worth mentioning that substantial past literature suggests that the putamen may vary functionally along its dorsal-ventral/anterior-posterior axes, since the putamen subregions tend to correspond to different "loops" with respect to the projections that they receive from/send to other parts of the brain [Alexander et al., 1986; Zhou et al., 2008].
It is assumed that the elastic stiffness, piezoelectric constant and dielectric permittivity of the functionally graded piezoelectric strip vary continuously as an exponential function, and that the strip is under out of plane mechanical loading and in plane electrical loading.
The last numerical method is a technique to spatially vary, or functionally grade, any of the attributes of a periodic structure while minimizing deformations and preventing defects.
