Functional advantages

The facts of the matter are that physicians have turned to pharmaceutical products in an attempt to provide symptomatic relief for their patients problems based on observations of patients receiving the products in other situations. The companies involved have responded by undertaking the clinical trials needed to prove the benefit and gain approval for these products so responding to a market need.

T oods packaged in flexible containers and processed for commercial sterilization are a part of the trend toward improved quality in convenience foods. The retorted pouch has the package integrity of the metal can coupled with the food quality, reheating, and serving convenience of frozen, boil-in-the-bag foods (1). Its use for combat rations has especially interested military R D personnel because of the functional advantages over the metal can (2). 

Whatever the functional advantages conferred by the neodermis might be, clearly these need to be elucidated further. The obligate parasitic flatworms share another important characteristic feature - with the exception of a few derived forms, they almost all parasitize vertebrates and use them as a host where they reach maturity, reproduce and complete their life cycle. Monogeneans are found predominantly on their respective hosts and the Trematoda and Cestoda are found predominantly in their hosts. 

We can confirm this point of view by looking at paramagnetic shifts and rs (for water) in the complexes of supposedly different water coordination. We find that in the Ln(III) series of complexes, LnY, anomalies often occur at around Tm(III) especially. We conclude that the exact structures of Ln(III) complexes like those of Na(I), K(I) and Ca(II) can not be represented by single simple pictures and we must refer to statistical populations of complexes of different structure at equilibrium. The complexity of the structural and dynamic features of this A-subgroup chemistry has been used to functional advantage both by man in cements and plasters and by biology in shells and bones and in messengers. 

The essential character of the FeS cluster assembly machinery and its conservation in all eukaryotes suggests that FeS cluster assembly might have been among the original and essential functions of the ancestral endosymbiont, which gave rise to mitochondria and related organelles. If so, eubacte-rial FeS cluster assembly should provide a functional advantage in comparison with the archaebacterial machinery. At the same time, the archaebacterial host should have been dependent on the function of the... 

In 2009, there were two ways to access from a client version installed on a computer or via web access. The client version is being phased out as the web version is being developed. Both versions have the same functionality. Advantages of SciFinder include the ability to combine answer sets and the ability to see all the substances linked to an abstract in a grid layout. Clicking on a substance structure or registry number allows the user to modify the structure for future searches or to explore reactions. SciFinder also provides access to the full text of the article through the ChemPort Connection. This allows the user to directly access the article when permissions for access are enabled or to purchase the article when they are not enabled. 

Many companies sell crude lecithin gums to the feed industry with httle or no further processing. However, the full nutritional and functional advantages of phospholipid use in animal feeds can be obtained through exploitation of the different types of lecithins available (313). 

Sensor technologies are developed using principles of physical and chemical sciences and their interrelationships. Some examples are fiber-optic-based, semiconductor-based, conducting polymer-based, mechanical, electrochemical, calorimetric, and colorimetric sensors. In this section these sensor technologies are discussed with respect to their functions, advantages, capabilities, and requirements. 

In terms of business models, system suppliers generally develop and manufacture sensors to support their systems business (captive market). Customized sensors provide a technological and functional advantage to their system. However, due to intense price pressure in the system business, sensors have become an attractive market opportunity on their own. Thus, some systems houses have set up component businesses, sometimes targeting not only the automotive market but nonautomotive markets as well. 

Enzymes have a remarkable ability to recognize the stereochemical properties of chiral or prochiral substrates and to catalyze chemical transformations with a high degree of stereospecificity. This stereospecificity is exerted not only in cases where it may serve a utilitarian purpose, that is, in situations in which there is a functional advantage to operating with only one enantiomer, as in the distinction between D and l amino acids. It is also seen in instances where there... 

Let us now look more closely at the evidence for some functional advantages of the NE in humans. Disadvantages will be enumerated and discussed at the end of this section. Published data have...
