After releasing their eighth studio album in 2001, the band went into a period of reduced activity.
This is thought to be due to a combination of altered gait pattern and some bone loss due to a period of reduced activity after surgery, therefore involving an element of insufficiency type fracture.
In addition, it is more vulnerable to compromised strength and function with even brief periods of reduced activity.
Neuronal networks, however, often display irregular spontaneous activity characterized by intermittent bursts separated by periods of reduced activity.
Most neuronal networks, even in the absence of external stimuli, produce spontaneous bursts of spikes separated by periods of reduced activity.
We designed our screen to detect genes downstream of DAF-16 that increased dauer formation as a result of reduced activity.
Thus, a period of reduced activity following successful copulation is advantageous to organisms.
The refractory period is a period of reduced activity and mating ability following ejaculation.
These variables included CD4 count, symptom score, number of days spent in bed, and number of days of reduced activity.
Thus, the period of reduced activity and ability we observed following ejaculation may help insure that the male copulates with different partners.
Similar to other species, C. elegans males exhibit a period of reduced activity following ejaculation (Barfield and Geyer, 1972; Oomura et al., 1983; Ureshi et al., 2002).
