"Induction recognizes extraordinary individual achievement and marks a commitment on the part of new members to provide fundamental, nonpartisan knowledge for addressing today's complex challenges," said American Academy President Leslie C. Berlowitz.
The Flp system has been successfully utilized to understand mechanisms of site-specific recombination and to bring about directed genetic alterations for addressing fundamental problems in biology and for accomplishing bio-engineering objectives.
Reduced-complexity models have considerable potential as tools for elucidating river behaviour over periods of 100 104 years and, consequently, for addressing fundamental questions concerning the scale-dependent nature of explanation in geomorphology.
The availability of annotated forest tree genomes from two separately evolving rosid lineages, Eucalyptus (order Myrtales) and Populus (order Malpighiales5), in combination with genomes from domesticated woody plants (for example, Vitis, Prunus, Citrus), provides a comparative foundation for addressing fundamental evolutionary questions related to the biology of woody perennials.
But while bacteria and fruit flies have proved invaluable for addressing fundamental questions of how genes operate or body plans arise during development, Dr. Kronauer's model ants offer scientists the chance to explore, under controlled conditions, the origin and evolution of animal societies.
It shows "the potential of biofilms for addressing fundamental questions in evolutionary ecology".
Because the functional role of these cells is well defined and they are uniquely suitable to be studied using modern multi-disciplinary approaches, from biochemistry to genetics, photoreceptors represent an almost unmatched model system for addressing fundamental issues in molecular and cellular neuroscience, as well as cell signaling in general.
This underscores the critical importance of tropical areas for addressing fundamental biological questions and reinforces the urgency for protecting such major biodiversity hotspots as those of the Brazilian Atlantic forest [29].
Our phylogenomic study provides a solid foundation for addressing fundamental questions related to the biology and ecology of the Trebouxiophyceae.
