With these initiatives, the NIH aspires to provide a toolbox for medical research to take advantage of the human genome sequence and the latest progress in molecular and cell biology for the development of new therapies.
Angeloni et al. (2012) provide a conceptual toolbox for genomic research in conservation biology and highlight some of its possibilities for the mechanistic study of functional variation, adaptation and inbreeding.
"You can think of all technology as a toolbox," says Ted Conway, program officer for research to aid persons with disabilities at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Virginia.
In other words, you don't want to go to a hypnotist; you want to go to a healthcare provider who uses hypnosis as one of the many tools in his or her toolbox, says Mark P. Jensen, professor and vice chair for research in the department of rehabilitation medicine at the University of Washington.
The generation and release of fragmented molecules could generate novel biochemical markers with the capacity to monitor disease progression, facilitate drug development and add to the existing toolbox for in vitro studies, preclinical research and clinical trials.
The resources generated in the present study provide an expansive toolbox for advancing current, and enabling future research efforts in horned beetles.
The optimisation approaches and the toolbox that are presented in this paper will be used in future efforts for research into- and development of optimisation methods for multi-disciplinary building spatial design optimisation.
This toolbox has been tested to build up a dictionary of 288 EHG components [2], useful for research in preterm labour prediction.
These are not to be considered an excuse for "business as usual" or a "plan b", but they could be additional tools in the carbon-climate toolbox, and research funding into them, into assessing them and into their governance is very lacking compared to other clean tech areas.
Linear unmixing of the spectra was accomplished using the ALS script from the PLS 3.5 Matlab toolbox (Eigenvector Research, Wenatchee WA).
