If leaves aren't functioning to supply the sugar, then it can be mobilized from starch reserves – potentially reducing bud and cane hardiness and resulting in weak growth in the following spring.
It also differs from the open cycles of many wetland, freshwater, and marine ecosystems in which inputs from surrounding landscapes, biological nitrogen-fixation, or upwelling bottom waters function to supply much of the nitrogen used to support primary production.
We further found that sustainability performance mediates the relationships of supply chain functions to supply chain performance.
Companies must shift their perspective from purchasing (an operating function) to supply management (a strategic one) to ensure continued supply of materials.
Water Distribution Systems function to supply treated water safe for human consumption and complying with increasingly stringent quality regulations.
The control of overall cell production per time, or cell output rate, is the major task for the shoot apical meristem to serve its function to supply the growing plant with an appropriate amount of building material.
Loss of the ovarian function to supply estrogen and progesterone after menopause can cause deregulation of the body's metabolism and inflammatory responses with increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer.
While first functioning to supply the growing (and starving) tumor with oxygen and other essential nutrients, angiogenesis also aids in tumor metastasis by providing entryways for primary tumor cells into the circulatory system [ 40].
These can be easily found in Asian grocers, though the French beans suggested as an alternative by many recipes work in much the same way – their function is to supply extra crunch, so blanching them, as Molly Wizenberg suggests, seems the wrong way to go.
Their function is to supply all the consumers ensuring good continuity of supply and service quality.
a, Photograph of the in vitro setup, including a strain gauge on a mimic bladder Ecoflex-00300) in saline solution (pH 7.4), a syringe pump (0.175 µl min 1) to control the size of the bladder, a function generator to supply power (7 Hz, 10 V) for external vibration, a pressure gauge and a digital multimeter to monitor pressure in the bladder.
