Groundwater pollution around UCG zones is mainly caused by one of the following mechanisms: dispersion and penetration of the pyrolysis products of the coal seam to the surrounding rock layers, the emission and dispersion of high contaminants with gas products after gasification, and migration of residue by leaching and penetration of groundwater [30].
Chimeric transcripts usually result from one of the following mechanisms: chromosomal translocations, transcription of neighboring genes as a single transcription unit or alternative splicing in trans.
This might results in a spatial sharpening of the target expression domain in the overlapping region [ 30, 35] via one of the following mechanisms: i) The miRNA binds transiently to the mRNA and only the mRNA is degraded (low degree of complementarity).
Fenofibrate reversed the elevation of serum lipids in B-cell tumor-bearing mice presumably by one of the following mechanisms or a combination thereof: 1) Increased hepatic FA uptake from circulation, which is supported by studies demonstrating that fibrate promoted hepatic FA uptake by specific FATPs [40].
While the functional significance of some of the aforementioned modifications remains to be elucidated, it is well established that other histone PTMs function by at least one of the following mechanisms: (1) disruption of nucleosomal contacts between histones and their associated DNA or between histones in contiguous nucleosomes, or (2) recruitment of non-histone proteins [3], [4].
These contrasting findings suggest that the effects of androgens on vascular lesion formation are mediated by one or more of the following mechanisms: (i) activation of AR-independent pathways, (ii) secondary to aromatization of androgen to oestrogen, (iii) stimulation of AR in other cell types.
Typically, drug release from MR systems is modified by one or more of the following mechanisms: diffusion, dissolution, swelling, erosion, and osmotic pressure.
When particles are formed in single microemulsions, their size and polydispersity are controlled by one or more of the following mechanisms: reaction kinetics, intramicellar nucleation and growth, intermicellar nucleation and growth, and particle aggregation [26, 27].
Once released from primary phase(s), As can re-partition onto (or into) secondary phases by one or more of the following mechanisms: adsorption, co-precipitation, isomorphous substitution, and stoichiometric precipitation.
Dilutional impairment occurs due to disturbance of one or more of the following mechanisms: GFR, separation of salt and water at the thick limb of Henle's loop, and ADH action in the collecting duct.
Kernels involve one or more of the following mechanisms of behavior influence: reinforcement, altering antecedents, changing verbal relational responding, or changing physiological states directly.
