Alternate alleles at the mating pheromone receptor locus in Microbotryum actually exhibit the most ancient pattern of balancing selection and maintenance across speciation events for a locus in any known group of organisms (Devier et al. 2009).
measures postural stability and is used to identify objective patterns of balance problems consistent with neuropathy, vestibular loss, and CNS disorders that contribute to fall risk [ 66].
Menopausal women: those whose menstrual cycle is irregular, yet have menstruation within the half year, and whose pattern of hormone balance is not characteristic of postmenopause.
Interestingly, this pattern of metabolite balance at the TCA cycle was also observed by the authors although their transcriptomics analysis did not reveal any significant changes of genes in these pathways.
OUR Japan correspondent reminds us by e-mail that the simmering crisis in North Korea (for which, see a posting on Free Exchange explaining why we should drown Korea in vintage Bordeaux) forms part of a bigger pattern of Asian balance-of-power politics.
This allowed exploring whether molecular distances between alleles were skewed towards greater values, an expected pattern of asymmetric balancing selection (i.e. heterozygous with highly divergent alleles would be functionally advantaged because they would be able to cover wider spectrums of pathogen's peptides), or not.
In a sensitivity analysis for sample portfolios and parameters, we investigate the impact of the most important product and management parameters on the risk exposure of the insurance company and show that the model captures the main behaviour patterns of the balance sheet development of life insurance products.
Finally, our study indicates naturally occurring differential patterns of C/N balance and protein synthesis during cold acclimation.
Previous studies indicate that physically active older women have performance patterns of flexibility, balance, and agility that are more similar to younger participants than to their older inactive peers.
Most Americans have welcomed wolves' return not only as symbols of wildness but as critical players in the pattern of nature, helping balance the population of deer and elk.
For example, for the pattern of ignore vs. balance benefits and trade-offs, beginning designers are prone to ignore complexity and trade-offs and make design decisions without weighing all options or attend only to pros of favored ideas or cons of lesser approaches.
