Nicotine interacts with its cognate receptors in the central nervous system to exert a predominantly modulatory influence, making neuronal nicotinic receptors attractive therapeutic targets.
And however much the methods and contents of their texts do indeed reflect their intimate dialogue with, and critical appropriation of Western philosophy, one could well argue that many of their main theses nevertheless reflect a predominantly Eastern influence.
The FEM results indicated that the combination of surface tensile and shear stresses predominantly influence the fatigue damage observed in the experiments rather than fluctuating tensile stresses only.
This systematic experimentation has led to determination of significant process parameters and material variables that predominantly influence the wear rate of the particulate filled composites reinforced with bamboo and glass fiber, respectively.
Of the two major chemokine subfamilies that provide directional cues for leukocyte migration and activation [8], the CXC chemokines predominantly influence PMNs and T-lymphocytes whereas the CC chemokines are active on monocytes, basophils and eosinophils [9].
Employing the high temporal resolution of electroencephalography (EEG), research predominantly focused the influence of attention on the time course of visual perception [10].
SRPX generally correlated with SOX9, except during chondrocyte dedifferentiation, which may indicate that other factors predominantly influence it during this process.
This theme relates predominantly to the influence of organisational factors on routine outcome measurement in practice.
The S ci mutation appears to predominantly influence circadian rhythmicity in a cell-nonautonomous manner by directly regulating the expression of specific neuropeptides that, in turn, synchronize local networks within the SCN.
The missing links predominantly influence those born in the 1930s and who died before 1991, and we have not observed a difference in familial risks in comparing different diagnostic periods (Hemminki and Li, 2003).
The probability of receiving a transplant from a donor after brain stem death once a patient is on the waiting list is thus predominantly under the influence of national organ allocation algorithms, whereas the probability of receiving a transplant from a donor after cardiac death or a living kidney donor is predominantly influenced by individual centres' policies and patterns of practice.
