Compared to tectonic earthquakes at the plate boundaries, the intraplate earthquake swarm areas miss the plate motion that could periodically bring the fault to failure. Recent studies have tried to understand the possible triggering mechanisms by probing/imaging anomalous crustal structures within seismic swarms linked to fluids (e.g., Lin and Shearer 2009 Kato et al. 2010). It is assumed that afluid overpressure builds up and acts as a triggering mechanism of earthquake swarms. The subsequent swarm activity is then probably driven both by the fluid flow along the fault zone and stress transfer from previous earthquakes. This idea is based on characteristic features of earthquake swarms that help us to disclose their background mechanisms. 

Fig. 15. A proposed mechanism coupling the formation of the His-Tyr bond to the oxidation of ring III of the heme in HPII. The mechanism begins with the formation of compound I shown in A. A concerted series of reactions, possibly triggered by either Aspl97/His395 or by a putative anionic species bound to compound I, results in the transfer of a hydroxyl to the heme from the H2O2 shown in C, which would facilitate spirolactone cyclization to form the final product containing the His-Tyr bond and the modified heme shown in D.

In addition to these trigger mechanisms, which permit rapid switching between different states of the ion channel, there is also the possibility to modulate and regulate activity of ion channels on a long-term basis. This regulation is usually due to phosphorylation in the cytoplasmic part (see 16.4.2.1). 

On the other hand, since the film is accelerating in this initial zone, it follows that the Froude number of the flow, which may be taken as the criterion for gravity-wave instability, increases from some very small value at the inlet to its equilibrium value for the particular flow rate and channel slope. Depending on the flow conditions, it is possible for the Froude number of the flow to reach the critical value before the end of the acceleration zone is reached. In this case it can be supposed that waves could occur before the end of the acceleration zone if some triggering mechanism were available. This appears to be the case in fact, for Tailby and Portalski (T5) have noted that when an adjacent gas stream (either cocurrent or countercurrent) is present, the length of the smooth entry zone decreases markedly. 

In AD increased S. aureus colonization plays a fundamental role therefore, antistaphylococcal therapy is part of a successful management of the disease. Epidermal lipid deficiencies and barrier dysfunction contribute to enhanced S. aureus attachment to the skin and mediate immunological and inflammatory effects including the release of superantigens, additional exotoxins, and exoenzymes, and perhaps bacterial DNA-triggered mechanisms. Therapeutic possibilities include the use of topical antiseptics in cases of microbial-laden atopic eczema, corticosteroids, and specific antibiotic-antiseptic combinations in cases of localized superinfected atopic eczema and systemic antibiotics in cases of generalized superinfected atopic eczema.48...

Temperature has a dramatic and highly non-trivial effect on SPLA2 activation in the region of the main phase transition of saturated phospholipid bilayers [17, 19] (Fig. 3.2). As noted above, this is caused by dramatic lateral structural changes in the lipid bilayer [28]. It is possible to take advantage of this physical effect as a thermally activated release trigger mechanism in the biophysical drug-delivery model system, as illustrated by the data displayed in Fig. 3.6. As the temperature approaches the main phase transition temperature at 41 C of the DPPC Upid bilayer, the rate of calcein release is dramatically enhanced as quantified by the time of 50% calcein release (insert in Fig. 3.6). 

The involvement of the medula oblongata and the other subcortical structures, the centre of hypotalanuc integration as well - as a result of the anticholinesterase (possible and direct) effect of the poisonous substance on them - can be considered as the triggering mechanism for the development of severe consequences of non anticholinesterase nature, having in a number of cases a lethal outcome. In this case - pathogenesis of delayed neuro-endocrine toxicity. 

The course of the pathological process in two phases neurogenic and endocrine. The first phase is characterized by lack in the animals of visible clinical deviations from the norm for, as a rule, 6-60 days and from the functional topographic point of view it acts simultaneously as a specific trigger mechanism (possibly of cholinergic nature) on the cerebrum diencephalic area hypotalamic nuclei. 

Using a domain ensures that only appropriate data can be inserted into a column. If an attempt is made to insert invalid data, an error is reported. The user is then responsible for correcting the value, if possible and trying the insert again. The SQL trigger mechanism automates this process. The following SQL will not only ensure that the cansmi column contains canonical SMILES, it will correct problems where possible. 

Fig. 1. Summary of avaiiabie knowiedge on the phototaxis signaiing pathways in H. sallnarum, R. sphaeroides, and H. halophila in a Che-iike reaction scheme. H. sali-narum contains the photoreceptors SRi and SRii, which are compiexed in the membrane to their signal transducers Htri and Htrii. These transducers modulate the autokinase activity of CheA and thus modulate the phosphorylation status of CheY. Phototaxis of R. sphaeroides proceeds via its photosynthetic reaction center (RC) and electron transfer chain (ETC) via a putative redox sensor. Positive phototaxis in H. halophila occurs via a similar pathway, while its negative phototaxis is triggered by photoactive yellow protein (PYP). The signal transduction pathway for PYP is unknown one candidate is the Che system. Possible adaptation mechanisms have been omitted from this figure.
