For example, a clause may be rankshifted to function as a Modifier of a Head in a nominal group as in As a simple illustration, think of an intern [[who examines a patient in the emergency ward of a hospital]] (the rankshifted clause is marked by while the rankshifted group is marked by ) (see Matthiessen 1995: 99 100).
Thus, the hTERT-VNTR2-2nd locus may function as a modifier of prostate cancer risk by affecting gene expression.
The SWR.CAST-X congenic strain and SWR.CAST-X1 subline have supported our goal to fine-map the X-linked Gct4 locus that functions as a modifier for GC tumor initiation events.
Thus, it makes sense to describe someone as "very tall"; but while I might say that someone knows something "very well," 'very' does not appear here to be functioning as a degree modifier.
The translation "some ‚how'" seems to me more appropriate yet, for the ‚aliqualiter' is not merely or primarily functioning as an adverbial modifier of the "repraesentare" but rather gives to understand that syncategorematic expressions refer to a ‚how' rather than to a ‚what'.
It was demonstrated that C24+ waxes are deleterious for the efficiency of MAC functioning as a wax crystal modifier.
In (3.11), very functions as a predicate modifier, in particular a subsective modifier, since the set of things that are very(P) is a subset of the things that are P. Do we need such modifiers in our logical forms?
The copolymers were incorporated into chitosan in order that good water swellability and wettability of chitosan were retained due to hydrophilic PEG blocks, whereas PDMS block in the copolymers functioned as a toughening modifier.
MASP-2 deficiency due to D120G homozygosity has been reported in few patients suffering from multiple infections and/or autoimmune symptoms [38] [40], but also in apparently unaffected individuals [41], suggesting that MASP-2 deficiency is not necessarily associated with disease, but might function as a disease modifier.
Boc therefore functions as a spatiotemporal modifier of HPE phenotypes associated with loss of its paralog, Cdo.
