Although the paper in Science does not speculate about what drove the evolution of specialised features for chewing, Arsuaga said he believes these Neanderthal ancestors could have used their teeth to grip meat or other objects.
Scientists studying the anatomy of Chilesaurus diegosuarezi said that it is the "platypus" of dinosaurs because of its bizarre combination of specialised features normally seen in quite unrelated animals – similar to the egg-laying, fur-covered features of the duck-billed platypus.
For certain specialised features of the brain endothelium such as receptor-mediated transcytosis, astrocyte co-culture may be necessary even with tighter monolayers (Skinner et al., 2009).
Dispersal features in Macowania are weakly developed, consisting of small, light cypselas and a weak, feathery pappus with no specialised features to promote long-distance dispersal, and so species are likely to have low pappus-facilitated dispersibility.
The model can be used either in monoculture, for studies of molecular flux including permeability screening, or in co-culture with astrocytes when certain specialised features (e.g. receptor-mediated transcytosis) need to be maximally expressed.
Consistent with this idea, Macowania lacks specialised features which promote long-distance dispersal.
It can be observed that in majority of the nine sets of experiments in this table, the optimal combination for ChER incorporates the use of specialised pre-processing tools, feature set enrichment and abbreviation recognition.
Curved walls with no sharp edges, bedrooms built a little below ground level to diffuse outside noise, and a structure that allows for gradual transition from light to dark – these are among the bespoke features of Bessemer Close, a collection of specialised homes soon to be built for people with autism.
These include the selection of specialised pre-processing analytics, the incorporation of chemistry knowledge-rich features in the training and application of the statistical model, and the addition of post-processing rules.
That is, single features (colour or orientation) could be adequately processed in less-preferred regions, whereas successful integration of features in the conjunction task may require the input of specialised areas.
One key feature of eukaryotic regulation is the extensive reuse of specialised regulatory pathways.
