The pancreatic β-cell has an imperative function to maintain the glucose level and malfunctions in this cell are a requisite for development of type 2 diabetes.
Cryptographically strong Boolean functions play an imperative role in the design of almost every modern symmetric cipher.
Not only is this expression much shorter than its imperative counterpart, function map also describes such a common pattern when working with collection-like data structures that it provides a plethora of functionality all of which can be used with almost no syntactic overhead.
These studies demonstrate a feedback loop between miRs, corepressors and AR and the imperative role of miRs in AR function in non-cancerous androgen-responsive tissues.
Yet corals might maintain both skeletal growth and density by investing greater energy in calcification [56], although this strategy likely requires the diversion of resources from other imperative biological functions such as reproductive output [57].
Imperative pericyte function includes vessel permeability regulation, control of microvascular remodeling and new capillary growth, immunologic defense, matrix protein synthesis, and interaction with endothelial and other cells providing vessel stabilization.
JA behaviours serve two different functions: imperative triadic exchanges serve an instrumental or requesting function, and declarative triadic exchanges which enables shared awareness or experience of an object or event [ 13, 14].
Fishwich et al. [ 50] emphasize that the concept of the therapeutic relationship is fundamental to mental health care, despite inherent tensions between the caring imperative and custodial functions embodied in mental health legislation.
Our goal was to determine whether the observed changes in miR expression caused or were the result of the observed changes in tissue size (i.e., were the changes in miR expression imperative for AR function or biomarkers of AR function in these tissues?) (Figure S5).
In light of the moral objection to evolutionary explanations of human phenomena, it is worth noting that the biological imperatives that proper functions articulate are not thereby also moral or ethical imperatives, even if they bear some significant relation to them.
