Astrocytes are essential to neuronal function and viability (15 ); they are critical for maintenance of the blood brain barrier; they provide axon guidance during development and structural support to neural elements; and they are involved in CNS homeostasis as regulators of extracellular glutamate, ionic environment, and pH (16 ).
The pleasing harmony of structural elements, supporting elements, their positioning, their dimensions, their alignment, their hierarchy, their context and their color palette, all have long been the distinction of the skilled designer who brings the human intangible of aesthetic.
Results confirm that elements of structural support, as predicted, differentially affect functional supports, and that the elements of both structural and functional supports exert direct effects on depression.
A thermal resistive structural substrate is integrated into the composite system to provide structural support for FGM and PV elements.
They predicted another possible role for myosin VIII in forming a structural support for the cortical ER elements tightly underlying the plasma membrane, both outside and inside the plasmodesmata [ 10].
Energy piles are bi-functional foundation elements used as structural support as well as ground heat exchangers for shallow geothermal energy systems.
Open image in new window Fig. 6 Performance diagram of tunnel structural support system and abbreviations for incorporating elements.
Erected vertically, the spine is the mast of our body and has three major functions: to provide structural support, enable trunk movement and protect the neural elements [1].
By applying several structural calculations and calculating the amount of pressure in the support elements and estimating their maximum resistance capacities, it is possible to determine the isolated safety factors for the different elements.
By applying several structural calculations and computing the amount of pressure in the support elements and estimating their maximum resistance capacities, the isolated safety factors for the different elements were found out.
In a work like "Spring Vase" (1996), on the other hand, the vessel element has become an almost hidden core, basically the structural support or internalized base for the sumptuous integument that sweeps around it.
