Our beliefs about our options, opportunities, alternatives, possibilities, abilities, powers, and so on, are all future-directed.
To test this possibility, the ability of Indo to alter detergent resistant membrane level of the mixed membrane was evaluated because the ability to resist detergent extraction is a characteristic of formation of dense gel/ordered domains in the membrane.
In the following section, the different modal auxiliary verbs conveying the root/deontic modal (excluding root possibility and ability) value of obligation and necessity are discussed with particular regard to the temporal and aspectual structure of the complement they select.
On the whole, the frequency rates of possibility and ability modals appear to be less topic-dependent than obligation and necessity modals in the L2 writing of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean speakers.
To test one of these possibilities, the ability of corals to acquire exogenous symbionts, bleached colonies of Porites divaricata were exposed to symbiont types not normally found within this coral and symbiont acquisition was monitored.
As such, and amongst other possibilities, the ability to generate CD4+CD28null cells with repeated/chronic antigen engagements could conceivably represent an evolutionary adaptation to more effectively counter difficult-to-eradicate microbial pathogens [19].
To distinguish between the two possibilities, the ability of pUL31 mutants to bind pUL34 was analyzed by a GST (glutathione S-transferase -pull-down aS-transferase -pull-downg the tranS-transferase -pull-down.
First, public trust in health care was measured by means of three items: trust in present health care, trust in future health care and trust in existing medical possibilities (the ability of medicine to treat problems effectively).
