While the initial catalytic rate of the class I ligase was modest, additional engineering and modifications have converted the ligase to a limited polymerase, capable of acting on exogenous templates and comparable to at least some protein enzymes that catalyze similar reactions (Wochner et al. 2011).
The modeling shows that due to relatively high absorption within the SnO2 layer, there are modest benefits to engineering anti-reflection interference in the stack.
A "land care" decade was proclaimed for the 1990s, and a nationally coordinated schedule was drawn up to promote new cultivation methods, extensive tree planting, modest and adventurous engineering solutions, and wholesale changes in production systems.
Yet Mr. Kim is also credited with loosening state controls on the economy and engineering modest growth, and regaining some of the public confidence that the dynastic regime enjoyed under his grandfather and lost under his father, whose rule is remembered for a devastating famine.
A longtime aerospace industry veteran said Northrop has also opened a modest B-21 engineering office at its plant in El Segundo, because it is challenged to find all the engineers it needs in Florida.
This was a lovely conceit: a very tall building that would have been paradoxically modest, a daunting work of engineering as ethereal, in architectural terms, as the structure of a snowflake.
Where similar conditions to a score of 3 prevailed, but engineering controls were modest or weak (Process Protection = medium or low) and there was little potential for exposure at the Human Interface, these areas were assigned a score of 4.
Unlike its great success seen in other industrial applications, protein engineering has achieved only modest results in improving the lignocellulose-to-biofuels efficiency.
Alternatively, efforts to increase brain uptake (for example, by hijacking transferrin or insulin receptor-mediated transcytosis machinery [ 7, 8]) might also be worth the extensive antibody engineering required to achieve modest, but nevertheless significant, increases in brain exposure [ 5].
