Sentence examples for in functional distance from inspiring English sources

This somatotopic neuroplasticity in SI may occur either as a result of active neighboring sections to the denervated one [23] like in the case of phantom limb pain [21], or as a decrease in functional distance between the cortical area affected by neuropathic pain and the neighboring intact sections in SI [27].

As shown in Figure 5, although the directly interacting proteins show significantly shorter functional distances, there are only slight differences in functional distance for network distances greater than two.

This observation is in agreement with other studies indicating that there is a correlation between network distance (distance apart in a PPI network) and functional distance (semantic similarity in functional category) between proteins in a PPI network.

It takes account of the influence that a mutation in one gene has on others in terms of the functional distance between them [ 80] under the assumption that genes located closer to each other in a functional network tend to take less time to spread mutational information from one to the other.

In our calculations of functional distance we take the logarithm (base 10) of the functional distance score from [ 41]; a lower value indicates a closer functional relationship.

Moreover, using the minimum of the two contributions gives a measure that is more correlated with functional distance in all three networks.

To explore the pattern of type I functional divergence in each cluster, we performed functional distance (dF) analysis (Table 1).

In more detail, we plot functional distance against network distance.

Therefore it is not surprising that PageRank Affinity outperforms other measures of closeness in terms of correlation with functional distance and predicting co-complex membership.

There are 6 panels in each figure: the first three display a comparison in terms of predicting co-complex membership (one sub-figure for each protein network that we study), and the next three display a comparison in terms of correlation with functional distance (one sub-figure for each protein network).

In an attempt to quantify the relationship, we correlated the averaged functional distance with differences in group age, which has a coefficient of 0.725 (Spearman rho, p < 0.001), confirming a progressive functional change of the network.
