Apple responded with a statement that it would "thoroughly" consider ways it could return some of its cash to investors, and Mr. Einhorn's proposal to issue a preferred class of stock.
In exchange for various other assets, including the advertising commitment and the stake in the Health Channel, News Corporation also received shares of a preferred class of WebMD stock, convertible in December 2003 into 21.2 million shares of WebMD's common stock.
Polynomials are the preferred class of mathematical functions for the description of curves and surfaces.
As a consequence of their ability to significantly suppress acid secretion, PPIs are the preferred class of therapeutic agents for the treatment of GERD.
This is the preferred class of LMG for hardcore, but the second perk can be changed out for either double tap for a literally insane RoF, or a UAV jammer to be stealthy.
For a set of seventeen transcription factors from different families of factors, 75% of actual binding sites are in the same set of four pairs of preferred classes which account for only 26% of the bases of the genome.
There are, however, some points of similarity between the proportion of sites in the preferred classes and the proportion of bases in promoter regions — see Figure 2D — and we speculate that this could arise because promoter regions must be suitable for TFBSs.
Using a representative TF for each TF family, we calculated the mean proportion of sites in the preferred classes in each group of cell lines — see Table 5.
The proportion of sites in the preferred classes is greater than the proportion of bases in the genome: a one-sided T-test gives n = 17, df = 16, t = 13.4, p = 2.0e-10, and the 95% lower confidence limit of average proportion of sites = 0.68 (~0.43 more than the proportion of bases).
The proportion of occurrences of motifs in each class is not a useful predictor of the proportion of sites in each class, neither for individual classes (see Figure 5), nor for the total in the preferred classes (see Figure 6).
