We therefore conclude that the LIR motif in M2 is of functional importance to IAV, as indicated by its high degree of conservation and its essential role in producing stable virions, a prerequisite for the transmissibility of infection.
Fukuyama's latest book, The Origins of Political Order, maps the unwieldy period "from prehuman times to the French revolution", and lays out his three prerequisites of stable democratic systems: a functioning state, the rule of law and accountable government – which is a pretty good prism through which to view the Arab spring and its aftermath.
This suggests that conserved adaptive mutations in "classic swine" are important for swine-to-swine transmission, and essential to the establishment of stable lineages, but not prerequisites for infecting this host.
We propose that M. rubrum represents a model organism for identifying early adaptations to obligate phototrophy and potential prerequisites to stable plastid integration.
Stable microbead integration, a prerequisite for their practical application, was ensured by a site-specific delivery method that is based on the interactions between streptavidin and biotin.
A stable fixation is a prerequisite for any type of treatment with external fixation; otherwise alternative treatment may be considered.
Stable levitation was a prerequisite for sample homogenization for chemical analyses as well as for evaporation and reduction experiments.
The unique FOXP3 promoter methylation profile in Tregs suggests that a demethylated pattern is a prerequisite for stable FOXP3 expression and suppressive phenotype.
However, by applying 3 monthly MRI scans prior to treatment initiation, thus resulting in a stable baseline as a prerequisite for adequate statistical testing, and by performing a nonparametric MANOVA, we used all means possible to avoid statistical bias.
However, to achieve a stable baseline as a prerequisite for adequate statistical testing, and thus to avoid any possible statistical bias, we excluded data from this first MRI from further statistical analysis and defined months −2 to 0 as the baseline period.
Internal consistency, as a measure of the extent to which a variable or set of variables is stable, constitutes the primary prerequisite.
