This latter phenomenon is highly complex in terms of cellular composition with different cell types, including adipocytes, preadipocytes, endothelial cells, pericytes and immune cells.
Given that sea-ice ecosystem conditions are highly complex in terms of resource availability, physicochemical pressures, and biological interactions, many other more transiently expressed proteins potentially play important roles.
Importantly, however, this estimator alone cannot provide a complete description of the complexity of 'dark matter' RNA as it is possible that it can be highly complex in terms of the sequences present in this population and yet comprise a minute fraction of total RNA population by mass.
Whether the subject is cancer genomics or climate change or education policy, society increasingly expects science to do something beyond its remit, that is, to characterise highly complex systems in terms of unambiguous cause-effect relations that are useful for engineering or decision-making.Uncertainty is an inescapable part of life.
Essentially pastoralism as a livelihood is a highly complex system in terms of the animals kept, household self-sufficiency, migration strategies and diversification into alternative livelihood options (Davies and Bennett 2007 Mearns 2004 Mulder et al. 2010).
It is possible that the brain, as the most highly complex organ in terms of the number of genes expressed [24], has a low tolerance for genome rearrangements, which are likely to distort patterns of long-range gene regulation [25].
However, operating areas are highly complex environments in terms of planning, scheduling, cost effectiveness, and optimization of processes.
Research into the complex behaviour of cetaceans has claimed that these sea mammals are so highly evolved and complex in terms of their behaviour that they deserve special protection with a universal bill of rights.
The issue of food security stocking, either as a physical commodity or liquid reserves, nationally or multilaterally through the various fund facilities available, is highly complex in economic terms.
In comparison to strains with class I pilE, the pilS regions in these class II isolates were highly conserved within a clonal complex in terms of number and arrangement of pilS cassettes (see Figure 4 and Additional file 6).
Conversely, it could be argued that highly processed foods, despite being potentially nutritionally less valuable, can also be extremely complex but in terms of their constituents rather than their flavors.
