Wimsatt (1997) contrasts mechanistic organization with aggregation, a distinction that mechanists have used to articulate how the parts of a mechanism are organized together to form a whole (see Craver 2001b).
Interestingly, deletion analysis of the CPEB3 prion domain uncovered a tripartite organization: two aggregation-promoting domains surround a regulatory module that affects interaction with the actin cytoskeleton.
Such surface characteristics seem to initially induce passive self-organization and/or aggregation of collagen molecules, depending on the type of substratum.
These results demonstrate roles for self-organization and aggregation in persistence of multi-cellular communities, and also illustrate a role for the techniques of synthetic biology in elucidating fundamental biological principles.
One specific type of cloud organization called "self-aggregation". Self-aggregation is the tendency of tropical clouds to spontaneously clump together, solely due to interactions between the clouds and the surrounding environment.
Just think of what IT can do, aggregation, organization of farmer's groups.
With this validation and greater precision with sensors, ED environment was characterized in terms of (a) the degree of randomness or entropy in the environment, (b) the movement patterns of clinicians, (c) interactions with other clinicians and finally, (d) patterns of collaborative organization with team aggregation and dispersion.
These differences may underlie the unique pathological features and spatial organization of tau aggregation between each disease, which likely lead to differences in functional outcome.
This engineered consortium allowed us to observe the critical roles of self-organization, layering, and aggregation in the growth, movement, and ability of a microbial consortium to colonize new environments.
The building blocks of this spatialization framework are informed by geographic information theory and include principles of ontological modeling such as semantic generalization (spatial primitives), geometric generalization (visual variables), association (source target domain mapping through spatial metaphors), and aggregation (hierarchical organization).
Free form, then aggregation, then organization, then structure, then words, then metaphors, then narrative, then publish.
