Functional connectivity

It is clear that an appreciation of chemical stationary systems with respect to (1), (2) and (5) is virtually complete as explained above in terms of thermodynamic variables, although the analysis of cells is not, since the equations linking the functional variables are missing. Even if we are sure that the variables are known, we do not know their functional connections. 

Two detectors in each channel are functionally connected in parallel so that the measured signal is the sum of the two detectors. This output drives a linear amplifier which amplifies the signal to a useful level.

Formation of HO and H02 particles is the direct result of electric discharge therefore, quantity of the particles formed should be functionally connected with electric parameters of plasma flow. This... 

The Eqs. (10) and (11) functionally connect thep parameter, the initial electron s velocity Vo and velocity s constituents Vqx and Voy in plane-parallel structure with distributed potential with the coordinate of its entry s point xo, on the electrode with distributed potential. Let us analyze Eq. (10) Under pxo < B the electron will lose the initial kinetic energy completely with generation of electromagnetic radiation (the kinetic energy is absorbed completely). Under these conditions the electron doesn t leave the structure. There is the partial selection of energy under px0 > B and the electron comes beyond the limits of structure. If electron enters the structure normally (Voy = Vo, Vox = Vo) the boundary condition after that electron leaves the structure can be written as ... 

A functional connection between the Rho proteins has been observed. Cdc42 may lead to the activation of Rac which for its part can activate Rho [126]. The...

Another problem in validating targets for behavioral disorders related to neurotransmitter abnormalities is the interplay between several neurotransmitter systems in specific brain regions. For example, in the hippocampus, limbic, and nigral-striatal areas, functions connected by serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine are interconnected so that blocking selected receptor subtypes or changing synaptic levels of certain neurotransmitters may... 

The above demonstrates one very important and useful property of transfer functions. The total effect of a number of transfer functions connected in series U just the product of all the individual transfer functions. Figure 9.7 shows this in block-diagram form. The overall transfer function is a third-order tag with three poles. 

The gland, which is anatomically and functionally connected to the hypothalamus, is divided into two parts, anterior and posterior. 

This rather useful empirical expression is applicable to many electrodeposited materials [e.g., molybdenum, zinc, steel (10)]. The expression has been able, for instance, to provide an acceptable explanation for the phenomenon of the brittle cracking in chromium electrodeposits. It has been quite helpful in the general study and understanding of the functional connection between hardness and grain size values in many electrodeposits. 

The polypeptide remains attached to the tRNA of the most recent amino acid to be inserted. This association maintains the functional connection between the information in the mRNA and its decoded polypeptide output. At the same time, the ester linkage between this tRNA and the carboxyl terminus of the growing polypeptide activates the terminal carboxyl group for nucleophilic attack by the incoming amino acid to form a new peptide bond (Fig. 27-24). As the existing ester linkage between the polypeptide and tRNA is broken during... 

Thus, it may be that decreases in 5HT tonic inhibitory influences on DA neurons could lead to increased dopaminergic function due to the functional connections between DA and 5HT neurons in the basal ganglia. Thus, OCD patients with a history of Tourette syndrome may represent a subtype of the disorder in which two neurotransmitters and the balance between them are involved in the pathophysiology of their symptoms. 

Since pressure, volume, and temperature are related to the corresponding critical properties, the function connecting the reduced properties becomes the same for each substance. The reduced property is expressed as a fraction of the critical property. 

The first case is quite clear it represents deterministic and functional laws, while the second and third levels are examples of stochastic phenomena defined by stochastic dependencies. Stochastic dependency, i.e. natural law is not expressed in individual cases but it shows its functional connection only when these cases are observed as a mass. Stochastic dependency, thus, contains two concepts the function discovered in a mass of cases as an average, and smaller or greater deviations of individual cases from that relationship.
