Furthermore, it addresses the question how and to what extent physiological reactions to problem-solving activities are affected by personal characteristics (such as general intelligence, domain-specific expertise, and self-efficacy beliefs).
Hydraulic and mechanical constraints can be seen as coupled functions and, to a large extent, physiological compromises that have to be met for adaptive modification of the plant body.
On the other hand, it should be realized that the proinflammatory response outlined above is to some extent physiological; there is evidence suggesting that some inflammatory mediators have neuroprotective properties, although many others are neurotoxic [ 6- 9].
RQ2: How, and to what extent, are physiological stress reactions during domain-specific problem-solving activities affected by personal characteristics?
Arousal, in the physiological sense, is the extent to which our bodies and minds are alert and ready to respond to stimulation.
Although crystal structures show tropomyosin to be an uninterrupted coiled coil, it is well-established that the middle of the molecule is not coiled coil at physiological temperature, though the extent of disorder has not been defined.
Transcript changes associated with these metabolic alterations have been studied in animal models, but the full extent and physiological consequences of the altered transcript profiles are not clear [15], [17], [18].
Mortality increases with the extent of physiological derangement, as indicated by vital signs, prior to ICU admission [ 3, 4].
The processes and mechanisms involved in attenuation of the epithelium of the chicken lung are much more complicated but to a large extent resemble physiological secretory processes.
The majority of studies examining EICA and other hypotheses of plant invasion have focused on ecological, physiological and to some extent chemical plant characteristics [ 2, 5, 12, 13].
