The decline of organized labor was an essential ingredient in the decline of the Democrats, and until the party finds a way to help labor rebuild, or discovers a functional substitute, it will continue to be out-strategized by the G.O.P.
It is generally interpreted as reflecting the period of relaxed selective pressure affecting a xenologous gene between its transfer into the nucleus of the host cell and its recruitment as a functional substitute for the genuine equivalent (either plastid- or nucleomorph-encoded).
The mechanical properties of BNC tubes were comparable with the reported value in literatures, demonstrating a great potential in vascular implants or in functional substitutes in biomedicine.
Its mechanical properties were comparable with the reported values in literatures, and the BNC tubes own a great potential in vascular implants or in other functional substitutes in biomedicine, for example, artificial hollow organ including ureter and esophagus.
Therefore, it is considered as a functional substitute for petroleum-based plastics due to thermoplastic and elastomeric properties of its copolymers (Balaji et al. 2013).
It may act as a functional substitute for TAF1/TAF II 250 during male meiosis, when sex chromosomes are transcriptionally silenced [ 27].
Tiger pufferfish Tlr22 was originally thought to be a functional substitute of human TLR3, as it responds to dsRNA and may therefore promote antiviral protection in teleosts [ 10].
Many of the models, with further development and refinement, have the potential to be useful as functional substitute tissues and organs for transplantation or for in vitro toxicology testing.
Recently, TLR22 was found located on the pufferfish cell surface recognizing long dsRNA sequences, whereas mammalian nucleic acid-sensing TLRs are localized in endosomes or the ER of myeloid cells, indicating that TLR22 may be a functional substitute for mammalian TLR3 that monitors for infections by double-stranded RNA viruses [ 25].
Surely this is what the social historian Lawrence Stone had in mind when he noted that the remarriage rate in the seventeenth century was similar to that of today, with divorce replacing death as its precondition: Indeed, it looks very much as if modern divorce is little more than a functional substitute for death.
In arterial replacement there is a clear clinical need for a functional substitute possessing appropriate haemocompatible properties to be implanted as small diameter artery.
