Our polygene analyses support a model of osteoarthritis in which there is a substantial genetic component comprising multiple contributing variants with small effect sizes (figure 1).
Rather, acknowledging the multiple components contributing to a change in plant phenotype and the range of effects a given defense might have on a particular herbivore, the model suggests that the induced plant defense response may appear random from the herbivore's perspective.
Our characterization of Ae. aegypti heat-seeking revealed multiple behavioral components contributing to selective thermotaxis during host-seeking: 1) the seeking of relative warmth; 2) the avoidance of relative cool; and 3) the avoidance of thermal stimuli exceeding host temperature.
These observations indicate that sorption is not strictly hydrophobic or that the affinity for organic material is influenced by the sorbed solute, and that multiple components contribute to the sorption.
Avocado mesocarp treated to deplete oil content showed reduced 1-MCP sorption rate and capacity whereas the exocarp was negligibly affected, indicating that multiple cellular components contribute to non-specific sorption.
To accomplish the full color spectrum with only four outputs, each output bit must contribute to multiple color components.
The four components solution explained a total of 41.5 % of the variance, with component 1 contributing 13.5 %, component 2 contributing 11.4 %, component 3 contributing 9.4 %, component 4 contributing 7.2 %.
The possible genetic contribution to cachexia is presumably complex and there may be multiple genetic and environmental components contributing to susceptibility for the condition (Hirschhorn et al, 2002).
For an individual chemical constituent to be a mediator of the risk associated with PM2.5 total mass, the concentration of that component must co-vary with the more general mass variable used in epidemiologic research (i.e., PM2.5 total mass); however, we recognize that multiple components may contribute to the risk and that components may interact.
