We also found that having five or more of nine pre-specified tumour morphology features defined a morphological profile that contained 2793%3%) of the 29 known BRCA1 mutation carriers [ 12], and of the 52 with this morphological profile who were not found to carry a germline BRCA1 mutation, 16 (31%) were found to have methylation of the BRCA1 promoter region in DNA from peripheral blood [ 13].
Methodologically, many studies have focused on static morphological features and defined patterns of integration based on correlation within and among structures.
Morphological features rigorously define nucleation and subsequent growth of thin film layers.
However, from the point of view of the taxa related to crops, the morphological features are well defined (Musa Germplasm Information System, MGIS; IPGRI INIBAP/CIRAD, 1996).
The taxonomy of Pocillopora is currently regarded as tenuous, e.g., some 16 species have been defined on the basis of morphological features, but cladistic groupings defined by molecular sequence data are not always congruent with these morphologically defined taxa (e.g., [ 31]).
Other lineages underwent secondary and even tertiary endosymbioses [ 7] providing not only prominent morphological features but also defining metabolic pathways (e.g., photosynthesis).
In conclusion, the efficiency and reproducibility of drug delivery by dry powder inhalers can be improved using carrier particles of precisely defined morphological features.
Since the focus of this paper is on intransitive (i.e., not object-directed) movements, all parameters attributed to the segments refer only to their morphological features and are not defined relative to an object.
Secondly, defined morphological features were used to categorize the neuronal cells into three different groups, according to the degree of dystrophy; non-dystrophic, mildly dystrophic and highly dystrophic [ 56].
The labelled profiles were classified as somata, dendrites, dendritic spines, unmyelinated axons, axon terminals and glia, according to their morphological features as described previously and defined by Peters et al. Synapses were defined as either symmetric when having thin pre- and postsynaptic densities or asymmetric when having a thin pre- and a thick postsynaptic membrane specialisation.
