On both a large and small scale, the differences in HS structure appear to contribute to the ability of different cell types to appropriately respond to molecular signals in their particular microenvironment.
The attack on the Indonesian island, visited by thousands of Australian tourists each week, has killed as many as 200 people from 20 countries, and, despite the smaller scale and other differences, provoked comparisons here with Sept. 11.
On a smaller scale, moderate differences between species or individuals in their carotenoid-based colours may lead to similar levels of detectability if birds differ adaptively in their choice of microhabitats.
When translated to the absolute probability scale the differences are small.
Hence, small scale spatial differences in the bacterial communities on corals may be common and must be considered in sampling strategies for future studies.
We have shown that large scale differences such as leading and lagging strand synthesis and chromosomal position can influence mutation rate, however, small scale differences in the local nucleotide environment may also have an effect.
The plots do show several small scale structural differences – side chain rearrangements – associated with variable participation in peptide binding, particularly in the regions 40-60 and 215-230.
The scene of the IR image is assumed to be completely included in the optical image and the alignment between the common scene in the two images may involve translation and rotation by a small angle, though a small scale difference may also be present.
The fact that high speed cameras (125 frames per second) were required to measure these small scale individual differences in movement implies that our traditional video technology is not sufficient to capture this type of variation.
Calling it "Lehman Brothers and Bear Sterns on a smaller scale," Cassidy notes one key difference: "MF Global is small scale.
