Modular functions

Intense investigations on the cellular and molecular chemical neuroanatomy of the NAc, as well as on its connections, neuropharmacology and electrophysiology, have identified two main sub territories, namely the shell and the core (initially identified by Herkenham et al., 1984 Zaborsky, 1985) a third subdivision, represented by the rostral pole, has also been recognized (see for review Kelly, 1999 Meredith, 1999 Zham, 1999, 2000). The organization in subregions has led to theories on a modular function of the NAc as a complex of neuronal ensembles (Pennartz et al., 1994). The shell and the core of the NAc have been demarcated also in primates, and calbindin is the most consistent marker for the shell across species (Haber, 1999). 

Finally, reductive groups play a major role in recent work on automor-phic functions. To take the basic example, let k be the reals. Then SL2(k) acts on the half-plane 2 = x + iy y > 0 by ( J)z = (az + b)/(cz + d) this is transitive, and the circle group K - ( g ) a2 + b2 = 1 is the stabilizer of z = i. Thus the half-plane is the coset space (symmetric space) for K in SLz(k). The classical modular functions on the half-plane are precisely those invariant under the arithmetic subgroup SL2(Z) or certain subgroups of it. All such functions can thus be pulled back to be functions on SL2(k) with certain invariance properties. The same thing then can be done for coset spaces of other reductive groups. Some of the most recent treatments also use the group not just for the reals but for the various p-adic completions of... 

Consciousness is currently best conceived as the brain s awareness of its own activity, including such modular functions as perception, memory, thinking, and feeling, each of which has some degree of anatomical localization or functional specialization with which to begin model building. It follows that for conscious states to be fully associated—that... 

For small plants, with extractor volumes of less than 200 liters, equipment can mounted on a single skid. For medium size plants (200 liter to 2,500 liter extractor volume) the plant arrangement consists of an interconnected group of modular functional skids. Very large plants (over 2,500 liter extractor volume) involve erection in the field, rather than prior assembly of modules and skids.

The modular function of MetH is an elegant example of signaling in a closed system. It rationalizes all of the formerly confusing information about MetH. Other SAM and cobalamin-dependent methylases, such as the radical SAM methylases, might function in analogous ways.

As a further occurrence of a matrix method, the modular function deployment (MFD) approach was developed by Erixon [32] with the target to facilitate the development of a robust production program that is easily adaptable to the varying requirements. It is based on the quality function deployment (QFD) methodology, which is expanded with the modularity concept. The MFD approach introduces dedicated criteria ( module drivers ), which compile a business strategy into a framework for modular product design. Module drivers yield the basis for a systematic evaluation of technical solutions for a given product, based on an accommodated product structure.

Over the past decade, there has been a broad effort in the scientific community to miniaturize chemical systems via microfluidic platforms. The concept is to construct compact devices with integrated modular functionalities [42]. These micrometer-sized modules can perform functions that are analogous to bench-scale laboratory processes, hence the name, lab-on-a-chip. For making droplets, a lab-on-a-chip microfluidic device could be envisioned to have the following modules ...
