"But taking passive steps for fear of losing its biggest customer will slow down strong growth momentum at its telecoms business, which Samsung doesn't want to see as the business is set to become the biggest earnings generator this year and make up for weakening chip profits.
Biosynthetic processes, however, rely on a combination of reversible, passive steps and irreversible, energy-consuming steps.
I suspect some Lincoln scholar can come up with an official document showing how our most revered president changed active constructions to passive to step away from assuming personal responsibility.
However, binding of IgE to the FcεRI is not a mere passive presensitization step to confer Ag specificity on the MC, but rather it induces Ag-independent signaling events that actively promote MC survival [ 17- 19].
Because our hepatocyte culture model does not allow to distinguish experimentally import and export, single irreversible, actively mediated transport steps for both directions, as well as passive diffusion steps were considered for each compound, respectively, similar to mechanistic transport models of other studies [ 33, 34].
Transport steps include active import and export of the metabolites as well as passive diffusion steps.
Results revealed that stressed animals were highly anxious (Elevated Plus Maze and Open Field), showed depressive-like behavior (sucrose preference task), performed poorly in short-term and long-term associative memory task (passive avoidance step-through task) and displayed reduced locomotion (open field).
In most cases, chemicals cross biological membranes by consecutive passive diffusion steps through different regions of the bilayer (section ).
In the second step, passive listening to number words was contrasted to passive listening to pseudowords to isolate activation reflecting task irrelevant automatic magnitude processing.
In a second step, passive listening to number words was compared to the non-numerical control task passive listening to pseudowords to evaluate to what extent the intraparietal activation during the tasks with numerical stimuli indeed involved access to the representation of numerical magnitude rather than non-numerical factors such as attention and covert response selection.
The modal latency was 35 ms with the median at 61 ms. These latencies are longer than vestibular responses induced by passive whole-body step rotation (=20 ms, Akao et al. 2007) but shorter than the typical visual responses of FEF pursuit neurons induced by target motion (∼70 80 ms, see Leigh and Zee 2006 for a review).
