The IS copy number of a genome of type i can be partitioned into numbers of elements that produced advantageous (l i, p ), neutral (l i, n ) and deleterious (l i, d ) effects, so that l i = l i, a + l i, n + l i, d.
Slide burnishing of chromium coatings produces advantageous, compressive stress in the surface layer and the oscillatory bending fatigue strength of elements with burnished coatings can be improved up to 40%, which completely reduces the detrimental chromium plating effects.
It was stated that ball peening of chromium coatings produces advantageous, compressive stress in the surface layer and the oscillatory bending fatigue strength of elements with ball-peened coatings can be improved up to 34%, which almost completely reduces the detrimental chromium plating effects.
Survival of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis (CF) chronic infections is based on a genetic adaptation process consisting of mutations in specific genes, which can produce advantageous phenotypic switches and ensure its persistence in the lung.
Progress to negotiations that could produce mutually advantageous liberalisation (real "open skies") is therefore stalled.Meanwhile, American carriers can take advantage of the 13 bilateral "open skies" deals with European countries.
The group found that despite the high homology between rat and human PAP peptides the xenoantigen was not capable of eliciting a cross-reactive immune response to native rPAP [108], suggesting that vaccination of humans with xenoantigens may not produce an advantageous immune response against the native antigen.
We designed a higher-order contextual learning task in which healthy participants genotyped for the Val66Met polymorphism of the brain derived neurotropic factor gene (BDNF) were required to choose the member of a picture pair most congruent with the emotion in a previously-viewed facial expression video in order to produce an advantageous monetary outcome.
Like any novel mutation, indels could be fixed by drift, but any changes to a flexible linker that alters the activity of the gene product to produce an advantageous variant would be fixed by natural selection.
An event produces an advantageous change with probability p a and a deleterious change with probability p d.
Of the small subset of polymorphisms that affect molecular function, some may produce an advantageous phenotype subject to positive selection, some are deleterious to organismal fitness and are therefore subject to purifying selection, and yet others are selectively neutral (subject to drift).
Nevertheless, in the Mediterranean area, a large amount of mixed (concrete plus masonry) recycled aggregates is produced, making it advantageous to investigate the possible applications of this type of material, which has a highly variable composition.
