These languages have invariant word forms, without morphological variation; they have a constant syllabic structure in the morpheme, generally monosyllabic but disyllabic in Malay; and they have a fixed order of modification, the modifier preceding the modified throughout Sinitic, the other way round in Vietnamese and further south.
This sequence, where the minor process precedes the main process of the clause, might be taken as another case of "the modifier precedes the modified", whereby a circumstantial element has the function of modifying the general character of the process.
This is typically expressed as the principle that in Chinese "the modifier precedes the modified".
It is probable that the preceding chemotherapy may modify the sensitivity to gefitinib, as acquired cross-resistance of cancer cells to multiple anticancer drugs is a commonly encountered clinical phenomenon.
It also modified the preceding isometric viewpoint - which caused buildings to obstruct the player's view - to an overhead perspective with which the player could move and see over terrain and structures.
Average values from the four ordinary breaths representing basal ventilation immediately preceding the modified breaths were used as reference for the modified breaths in each recording sequence.
The effects of this new sound on preceding consonants are varied, but in many cases these have been pronounced with the tongue raised more toward or against the roof of the mouth, or palate (a process classified as a form of assimilation), sometimes ending up eventually as a dental fricative (such as z and th) or affricate (such as ch) and perhaps modifying the preceding vowel.
Our rootkit modifies the preceding behavior in a way that each time this functionality is called, the euid (effective uid) of the calling task is systematically set to 0, which gives root user effective privileges to the calling process.
We sought to minimize the preceding problem by employing a modified UN-inverted FAIR (UNFAIR) technique, which (in theory) should provide identical CBF signal as FAIR with minimal degradation of the BOLD signal.
Because the surface area and concentration of lead paint is higher in pre-1978 and particularly pre-1950 housing (Jacobs et al. 2002), our models allowed the effects of paint deterioration, renovation, repainting, and paint scraping in the preceding 12 months to be modified by the year of construction.
