Flocks of ducks or geese can contain members of several distinct species, for example, and if they are confronted by a predatory hawk or a hunter, they all take off together.
These homing endonucleases belong to several distinct families (for example the LAGLIDADG and His-Cys box groups); the LAGLIDADG type is by far the most common in inteins.
Neuroactive substances are released from astrocytes through several distinct molecular mechanisms, for example, by diffusion through membrane channels, by translocation via plasmalemmal transporters or by vesicular exocytosis.
(2) Amphiboly occurs when the grammar of a statement is such that several distinct meanings can obtain (example: "The governor says, 'Save soap and waste paper.' So soap is more valuable than paper".).
For example, several distinct ethnic groups live at high altitudes in the Republic of Daghestan (Russia) speaking Caucasian, Indo-European or Altaic languages (Caciagli et al. 2009).
In this study, the widespread distribution of the dfrA12/orfF/aadA2 integron among several STs and across several distinct regions is an example of horizontal gene transfer, as is the presence of the integrons dfrA7, dfrA1/aadA1, and arr2/cmlA5/blaOXA10/aadA1 in different genetic backgrounds (when assessed by MLST).
Amongst inorganic substances, true enneahydrates – by which we mean materials in which the cation to water ratio is one to nine – are comparatively rare; known examples fall into several distinct groups with various types of cation coordination polyhedra and different degrees of water polymerization.
As for the third implication, the need for expansion, we could generalize our example to permit several distinct shared items merely by increasing the number of descriptor registers and informing the supervisor which shared objects should be addressable by each virtual processor.
To check for plate rotations in a print batch, we compare an array sample (A1, A2, A3, A4 in the example) from the print batch in question to a control sample of arrays (B, C, D, E in the example) selected from several distinct print batches.
B-cell activation is regulated by molecules with several distinct modes of action: A first example, the adapter molecule Bam32 (B-lymphocyte adapter of 32 kDa), helps promote BCR-induced cell cycle entry, while the secondary messenger superoxide has the opposite effect.
Research related to the analysis of living structures (Biomechanics) has been carried out extensively in several distinct areas of science, such as, for example, mathematics, mechanical, physics, informatics, medicine and sports.
