My favourite line from Persuasion at the moment is "the Musgroves, like their house, were in a state of alteration, perhaps improvement", which makes me laugh out loud every time.
In addition, the acid volcanic rocks of the cubilia have been investigated, aiming to understand their state of alteration and geological origin.
The states of alteration plus the case in which no pixel is modified form different cases.
We provide new evidence on how landscapes change by analysing the spatial patterns of human processes in three forest landscapes in southern Chile at different states of alteration (40% 90% of old-growth forest loss).
The few approaches that return probabilities of alteration either do not use distance between probes, or fix the number of possible states of alteration to three or four, a biologically unrealistic assumption.
But I would definitely put the state of the alterations and tailoring industry on the list of leading indicators — along with the usual suspects like interest rates and unemployment claims and construction starts — that gauge the national mood.
Advances in next-generation sequencing and whole-genome amplification technologies have enabled the advent of single-cell sequencing, which offers promising insight into understanding genomic instability as it provides not only a comprehensive look at the state of genomic alterations of a tumor cell but also cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
As a forest landscape is transformed, the extent and intensity of human processes vary according to the existing state of landscape alteration, resulting in distinctive landscape patterns in each phase.
These changes in the fed state occurred independent of alterations in Krebs cycle intermediates, suggesting that substrate influx to the Krebs cycle remains adequate to maintain normal levels of all intermediates (Supplementary Fig S2A).
The frequency of state alterations can be controlled by the degree of the stochastic fluctuations (small variance – no/few state changes, large variance - frequent state changes), wherefore it can be regarded as an explicit control parameter.
