If we think of the genomes of higher plants as ecosystems, then each TE class occupies a characteristic niche.
The vehicle has individual characteristics: it occupies a certain portion of space; its dimensions restrain its trajectory; its gross mass, power unit and braking systems determine its capacity for acceleration and deceleration, and therefore also its cruising speed.
Thus, the fact that ribosomes occupying the extensions show characteristic behaviors of termination (spikes at the stop codon, followed by a drop in density) at the C-termini of the extensions strongly argues that those ribosomes are engaged in active translation of extensions, rather than just sliding.
Ideal phenomena occupy are objective characteristics of things and are the product of human purposive activity.
Some philosophers have therefore suggested that delusions do not occupy quite the functional role characteristic of belief and thus are not, in fact, beliefs (e.g., Currie 2000; Stephens and Graham 2004; Gallagher 2009; Matthews 2013).
The structural configuration of Zn7Si3 nanocluster, as shown in Fig. 3d, exhibits that three adsorbed Zn atoms replace the three Si edge adatoms in the FHUC, meanwhile the replaced Si atoms and other three Zn atoms connect into a hexagon, with another characteristic Zn atom occupying the center.
The sulfur-containing phenyl ring of COX-2-selective NSAIDs plays a pivotal role in binding stability by occupying the hydrophobic side pocket characteristic of the COX-2 catalytic site.
The examined surface consists of two materials; each one has its own surface energy, characteristic contact angle, and occupies a definite fraction of the surface.
In comparison with regular cristae, the inner-membrane curvature was partially inverted and the characteristic cristae ridges typically occupied by ATP synthase (35) were largely missing.
Still, the failure to live up to the hype is entirely characteristic of a group who occupied the same position in relation to Blur as the Monkees had to the Beatles, or Secret Affair to the Jam.
