But organisms are unlike artifacts in that they are not produced or maintained by an external cause, but instead have the self-producing and self-maintaining character that is revealed in the kinds of vital properties (reproduction of young, capacity to nourish themselves, reciprocal dependence of parts, capacity for self-repair) which Kant illustrates with the example of the tree.
During the simulation, temperature and pressure (1.0 bar) were maintained by an external bath controlling heat and isotropic pressure.
Quality control is maintained by the external examiner system for the course work and research report, drawing upon both local and international experts in the field.
All indicator data used for the study were drawn from databases maintained by agencies external to the researchers, who collected the data for purposes of routine service evaluation and monitoring rather than for research.
The horizontal inequality, or the social structure, is maintained by both internal and external factors.
During the simulation, temperature and pressure (1.0 bar) were maintained by coupling to an external heat and an isotropic pressure bath.
Circadian rhythms are also synchronized and maintained by different phase relationships to external factors.
These tags emitted a signal at ten second intervals and, via the local wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network, data were downloaded to an external mainframe maintained by Aero Scout.
Maintaining normothermia by external warming attenuated the metabolic depressor effect, but did not completely blunt the cardiovascular response [ 4].
