Teleological

Light is the primary carrier of photosynthetic energy and also the initial producer of natural food colorants. To speak about the color of an object is to speak simultaneously about the illuminating light source, light transmitting medium, object properties, eye sensitivity, and conventions about color scales. Teleologically viewed, food color has two ambivalent main functions ... 

Nasmyth But why does it care about Cln3 Because it cares about cell size Now we are getting into a teleological argument. The hypothesis is that the cells do care about cell size, and they have to have a mechanism for measuring it. They do this by measuring the concentration of unstable proteins in the nucleus.

Keith Ansell Pearson (1997, p. 107) is critical of Nietzsche s antiDarwinism, explaining that in upholding his contra Darwin position, [Nietzsche] is fatally propelled back into that hangman s metaphysics - of intentionality, of teleological purposiveness - that he was so keen to deconstruct and overcome . 

As Harrington explains The new holistic science of life and mind that was to replace the old Machine science was really more a family of approaches than a single coherent perspective. The need to do justice to organismic purposiveness or teleological functioning—to questions of what for and not merely how —was central in all cases (1996, xvii). 

Since inflammatory reactions are not accompanied by any remarkable change in the erythrocyte survival, it is difficult from a teleological point of view to understand the increased Hp synthesis or pool output during inflammatory reactions. It is possible that the main biological function of Hp has not yet been discovered. Suggestions of its importance in the immune defense have been proposed (S10), and it is apparently an essential part of what the virologists call the Francis inhibitor (S10). 

The second level of intention will accentuate the role of solvents in the present state and future development of green chemistry. This discussion will include practical and teleological discussions vis a vis the environmental concerns important to individuals using solvents. Enough information will be provided for the reader to be able to determine how to evaluate a solvent s appropriateness to green chemistry, in particular applications. 

Teleologically one could argue that the virion would pick up a fatty acid in its VP1 pocket before its egress from the cell, which would then stabilize the virion in transit to new hosts. The HR Vs are known to be stable for long periods of time on surfaces and the dominant mode of transmission is thought to be hand-to-hand contact [75,76]. When a new host cell is reached, the stabilization factor might exit the pocket. This would allow the necessary conformational transition (probably at the GH loop) to occur and allow productive uncoating. 

However relieved, and however exhausted, you are unlikely to be easily able to fall asleep without some resurgence of anxiety or altered perceptions. This is because falling asleep under any circumstance is characterized by the sudden eruption of dreamlike conscious experience. These sleep onset microdreams are often associated with classic jerks of the trunk and extremities akin to those in startle reactions. Reasoning teleologically, it would seem that nature had evolved a built-in burglar alarm system to provide us with a security check at sleep onset, just the time that we are about to become most vulnerable to predation ...
