He wondered out loud whether American political institutions, based on the framers' 18th-century mechanistic ideas, were adapted to the modern age; he also had some nice things to say about German notions of public administration.
However animal, particularly mechanism-orientated, studies have increasingly identified useful treatments and provided mechanistic ideas on which most hypothesis-led clinical research is based.
Although economists had long held certain mechanistic ideas about the market--how, for example, new taxes will shift the supply-and-demand curve--Rothschild says, "Smith initiated the notion that you could actually use experiments to check the predictions of economic theory, particularly the actions of markets".
The energy captured in Blake's watercolours and engravings is his riposte to mechanistic thought.
Two millennia after Aristotle, Descartes' mechanistic philosophy introduced the idea of a reflex to explain the behavior of nonhuman animals.
These results provide mechanistic support for the idea that body condition prior to the first ocean winter is important for juvenile salmon survival.
Haru wa basha ni notte (1926; Spring Came on a Horse-Drawn Cart), dealing with his wife's fatal illness, is a lyrical, sensitive story; Kikai (1930; Machine) shows his growing obsession with the idea of a mechanistic principle governing human behaviour.
The present research proposes a novel idea for the mechanistic study of the mixture toxicity, both theoretically and methodologically; and the QSAR studies provide a reference for the prediction of the mixture toxicity, which could be helpful to the risk assessment on joint exposure to antibiotic mixtures.
A proposed idea for the mechanistic action of sPLA2s on the development of atheroslcerosis is illustrated in Fig. 1.
Work described in this report provides further support for this idea and gives mechanistic insight into how the DIF response threshold is set and, thus, how cell fate choice is regulated in vivo.
