However, even if stridulations are common events in ant societies, it is still probably the least understood mode of communication and detailed studies on the acoustic characteristics of these signals are scarce [45].
Aerial transport, either active or passive with wind, is probably the best understood mode of dispersal.
In orbweb spiders, ballooning is the best understood mode of dispersal, and although the literature fails to demonstrate Nephila dispersal via ballooning, we agree with other authors [ 20, 25] that Nephila must do so.
To better understand mode of action of these compounds, we identified Salmonella genomic region recA-hydN, deletion of which led to an insensitivity to the nitric oxide donors.
Although these results suggest an intimate relationship between neuronal damage and activation of microglial cells, more studies are needed to better understand mode of communication between these two cell types.
We examined how conserved pathways enable the use of nonmammalian models, such as fathead minnow, zebrafish, and Xenopus laevis, to understand modes of action and to screen for chemical risks to humans.
Libeskind had not been commissioned to design a Holocaust memorial, but he had produced a de-facto one, and, in his new, help-everyone-understand mode, he made each architectural gesture a metaphor.
Mauss argued that apparently irrational forms of economic consumption made sense when they were properly understood, as modes of social competition regulated by strict and universal rules of reciprocity.
This is what Descartes means when claiming that his ideas, understood as modes or as acts of the mind, cannot be "more perfect" than his mind.
Although how these compounds achieve chemoprevention is not fully understood, several modes of action have been proposed (Knowles and Milner, 2001; Griffiths et al, 2002; Rahman, 2003; Thomson and Ali, 2003).
Thus have we created for ourselves an impoverished world of touchy fools who understand no mode of address other than the internet's yes/no, like/dislike, thumbs up/thumbs down discourse of the dumb.
