As I've argued before, taking science to age 16 should simply be seen as part of obtaining a well-rounded education.
And I may prove remarkably susceptible to buying a new brand of toothpaste if it might make me more loveable, or taking out insurance that shows I care for my relatives, or obtaining a well-nourished cat, a car, a chocolate bar that will somehow replace an inconveniently autonomous lover with dependable sweetness and purring.
The pronounced estrous cycle dependent changes in gene expression and morphology of bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOECs) clearly show that a precise definition of the stage of estrous cycle is essential for obtaining a well-defined homogenous population of functional cells.
Studies with the newly designed variant mPrP[S170N](121–231), which contains the same loop sequence as bvPrP, now also showed that the single-amino-acid substitution S170N in mPrP is sufficient for obtaining a well-defined loop, thus providing the rationale for this local structural feature in bvPrP.
Uniform size, shape, and smooth surface of PMMA microspheres, combined with the correct injection technique, are important for obtaining a well-controlled inflammatory reaction, with adequate volume of material for cosmetic purposes.
Comments from students who took this elective during the past year indicated enjoyment of: "full engagement in the learning process and the patient care team" and "obtaining a well-rounded, multidisciplinary understanding of the presentation and treatment of these patients".
The ultimate goal of obtaining a well-supported and accurate representation of the tree of life relies on the assembly of phylogenomic data sets for large numbers of taxa [ 1].
Two well-known artifacts likely explain the difficulty of obtaining a well-resolved phylogeny: long-branch attraction (LBA), caused by the large distances to the nearest outgroup taxa Anaplasma spp. and Erhlichia spp., and a basal, star-like evolutionary radiation of the genus Wolbachia (Bordenstein et al. 2009).
These astroseismologi-cal studies are further keys to obtain a well constrained age (goal: 10% accuracy; Kjeldsen et al., 2009) of stars, and therefore planetary systems.
An efficient structural topological optimization method is proposed in this paper to obtain a well defined final design with multi-displacement constraints.
