Based on the model of complete trees, the topology of normalized systems can be modeled by the system organization tree.
A system organization tree (SOT) is an n-ary complete tree in which all leave nodes represent a component and the remainder nodes beyond the leave level represent a subsystem.
An n-ary system organization tree, SOT n, N), possesses the predictable properties as given in Table 6 when the unified fan-out n and the total number of leave nodes N are determined.
Citizen pruners, a few thousand Samaritans trained in the art of botanical stewardship by the nonprofit organization Trees New York, are licensed to perform surgery on the city's street trees, as their judgment demands.
Attendees scratched their heads at organization trees and squinted at a vast flowchart showing seven goals for eight committees and listing 42 sets of statistics on welfare and student achievement that had yet to be collected.
Giving back to the beautiful Colorado land upon which the festival settles, the event's founders joined with the Fort Collins non-profit organization Trees, Water & People to plant one tree for every ticket sold.
Thankfully, American Forests, a nonprofit conservation organization, and tree lovers everywhere have joined forces to settle the age-old question: if a tree grows to impossible heights, will anyone appreciate it?
Because the processes determining the formation and spatial organization of tree islands remain poorly understood, it is still unclear what controls the sensitivity of these landscapes to altered conditions.
Based on the analyses on the genome organization, phylogenetic trees, and synteny, zebrafish chemokines can be divided into zebrafish-specific genes including CX subfamily members, fish-specifi genes, several genes moderately similar to human chemokines, and genes orthologous to human homeostatic chemokines CXCL12 and CXCL14.
DNA sequences of the genomes of organisms allow an independent test of their predicted relationships, since species which diverged more recently will be more closely related genetically than species which are more distantly related; such phylogenetic trees show a hierarchical organization within the tree of life, as predicted by common descent.
