Compared to culture-based techniques, DNA sequencing of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene or whole metagenome shotgun (WMS) sequencing provides more precise microbial community characterizations.
These types of functional circuits can be powerful in creating designer biofilms and enabling precise manipulation of community composition in the fields of biorefinery, medicine, and bioproduction.
Overall, the method provides precise measurements of community carbon dioxide fluxes, through a fast and non-intrusive process, allowing repeatable in situ measurements of carbon uptake both in submerged and air-exposed conditions.
The precise definition of community in any given study is explicitly or implicitly determined by the investigator's choice of experimental techniques and analytical tools: As Konopka (2009) states, 'The practical delineation of "community" may then reflect the interests of the ecologist rather than any inherent characteristics'.
However, in each of those smaller studies, exposure information was likely more precise because the communities studied relied solely on one water supply, whereas across California, communities often rely on multiple water sources.
Our aim is to gain a more precise understanding of communities of practice, including their capacity as a form of social infrastructure to further knowledge translation and sustain collaborative efforts across traditional health care jurisdictions and disciplines.
This puts us in a quandary, trying to provide the community with precise information".
A visit by a former president, who is married to the secretary of state, will enable Kim Jong-il to convey to North Korea, and perhaps to other countries, that his country is being accepted into the international community — the precise opposite of what the U.S. secretary of state has defined as the goal of U.S. policy until Pyongyang abandons its nuclear weapons program.
Thus the algorithm will be useful for the optical community for precise characterisation and testing of aspheric lens.
As the number of sequenced genomes grows, this data set will be an increasingly rich resource for the cancer research community, enabling precise characterization of the molecular changes that define cancer cells.
