What Mr. Gonzales does manage to do is make Lucy an appealing character — a bright, perceptive, lonely, observant adolescent, who, like many immigrants to the United States, is perplexed by the plethora of processed foods wrapped in shiny plastic, by the ubiquity of music, by the stressed-out, alienated city crowds.
In the course of explosive eruptions, magma is fragmented into smaller pieces by a plethora of processes before and during deposition.
The plethora of processes of action and interaction among the various components of a landscape dictate that there are almost no methodological frameworks and tools that are irrelevant to in landscape study, planning, use or policy implementation.
These cells are activated by a plethora of processes including pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) [ 22].
Since ethylene regulates a plethora of processes, one might predict that disruption of target genes would seriously impair plant growth.
miRNAs regulate a plethora of processes in the central nervous system (CNS) and have been well documented in neuronal development, neuronal plasticity and neuronal differentiation.
A plethora of processes can create genomic variation in eukaryotes, and we hypothesize that commonly observed chromosomal rearrangements provide a pivotal mechanism to promote adaptation.
As homodimers or as heterodimers with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) they regulate a plethora of processes in cellular development and metabolism [149 151].
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an evolutionarily ancient protein that is best known for its functions as an immune and inflammatory factor and that was more recently recognized to have chemokine-like properties to regulate a plethora of processes in the biology and pathophysiology of humans [ 10, 11].
Wingless and Transforming growth factor beta (Tgfβ) signaling are two cell-cell signaling systems that are well conserved throughout the animal kingdom and that control a plethora of processes ranging from embryonic development, cell proliferation, differentiation and migration, to tissue homeostasis, stem cell behavior, tissue regeneration and cancer [ 1, 2].
It is a viral protein post-translationally modified by ubiquitination, phosphorylation and acetylation, which enable this oncoprotein to affect a plethora of cellular processes that work together to promote the survival and proliferation of infected cells [ 3].
