Though we assume our world view to be comprised of astute observation and cool rationality, it's just as likely to be the product of magical thinking about how the car keys teleport themselves into the fridge, or mitigating factors like why one attracts more than their fair share of idiot drivers on the way to an important engagement.
As a world view it seems to comprise a sort of Prairie Existentialism, but it is not without its dramatic uses.
Although the solar system is traditionally viewed as comprising the Sun, nine planets, their moons, and the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the discovery in the past few years of increasing numbers of small cometary or asteroid-like objects beyond the orbit of the planet Neptune was beginning to change that picture.
Thus, the responding physicians should be viewed as comprising a convenience sample of physicians rather than a representative sample.
Using the terminology of Lauffenburger and coworkers [25], the Wnt network can be viewed as comprising three informational layers: the 'cue' (extracellular ligands that activate the network), the 'signal' (intracellular proteins that transduce the message), and the 'response' (transcriptional program that effects a phenotype).
At its simplest, this data pipeline may be viewed as comprising two primary components that are temporally and sometimes spatially distinct: acquisition and exploitation (Fig. 1).
The items in CGPQ and CBAQ were earlier viewed as comprising four scales (a bipolar gender scale, a boy typical scale, a girl typical scale, and a cross-gender scale); this view was based upon differential item correlations with the factor-analytically derived scales of a second gender behavior questionnaire (Meyer-Bahlburg et al., 1994a, b).
Precisely because such particles can be viewed now as comprising a part of the normal cycle of calcium movement and disposal, it is important to understand what exactly determines their assembly, where they are distributed, and whether they have any pathological role after all.
Thus, the dolomite structure can be viewed as ideally comprising a calcium layer, a CO3 layer, a magnesium layer, another CO3 layer, and so forth.
All language processors can be viewed as being comprised of three elements.
