Delay of cleft palate treatment significantly beyond the 7- to 18-month time frame may result in difficulty with the development of normal speech, since the brain will mature prior to achieving a functioning palate.
Laerum et al. comment vaguely that "technology alone is not sufficient to achieve a well functioning electronic information system" [[ 18], p.1347].
This is the way of evolution: to achieve a new function it makes use of something already to hand.
Conversely, the number of detects could increase if manufacturers use different chemicals to achieve a particular function in the product (e.g., scent), thereby increasing the number of different chemicals in a composite.
The idea is to develop a library of standardized genetic modules with specific functionality that can be combined to achieve a certain function, analogous to binary transistor logic libraries used by electrical engineers.
Synthetic genetic circuits, a recent development, are combinations of regulatory and coding DNA introduced into a crop plant to achieve a desired function.
Unfortunately, there is no universally accepted blood compatible biomaterial, but there are ways to modify them in order to achieve a desirable function.
Some pioneering studies have demonstrated that synthetic genetic circuits or orthogonal metabolic pathways can be introduced into plants to achieve a desired function.
Indeed, research by cognitive psychologist Ronald A. Finke has found that creative discoveries are more likely to emerge when people analyze a novel form and then imagine the function such a form might perform than when they try to come up with optimal forms to achieve a particular function.
