Investigating the Sophistication of Long-Latency Stretch Responses During Postural Control of the Upper Limb
… rapid feedback responses should possess the key functional attributes of voluntary control because these two systems share a common neural pathway through motor areas of cerebral cortex. Our first four studies were designed to elaborate the functional attributes of the long-latency stretch …

To explore the tangible attributes contributing to brand meaning. A study of local food brands.
… associations to consumers beyond their functional benefits. Tangible attributes relating to the senses and a brand’s functional performance have been overshadowed by these intangible associations, and this is addressed in this study by exploring these tangible attributes’ contribution to …

Changes in Composition and Functional Properties of Dairy Products Made With Altered Milk Fat
… fatty acid content and satisfactory functional characteristics. We infused increasing amounts of high oleic sunflower fatty acids (0, 250, 750, and 1000 g/d) into the abomasum of four lactating dairy cows, in a change-over design. Results led us to conclude that decisions on the …

Consumer satisfaction and dissatisfaction in tourism as related to destination image perception
… (CS/D) from the stand point of: (1) the functional congruency between the tourist's expectations and his/her perceptions of specific utilitarian (functional) attributes of a destination; (2) the value-expressive (symbolic) congruency between the tourist'S self concept and the …

Drivers of brand loyalty
… in distinguishing between brands on the basis of functional and tangible attributers. However, interpersonal relationship factors such as love and affect, which are on a different level from functional attributes, can add another distinction to a brand. Such interpersonal and intangible attributes …

Analyzing and evaluating security features in software requirements
… projects, often contain specifications of non-functional attributes (e.g., security-related features). The process of analyzing such requirements for standards compliance is laborious and error prone. Due to the inherent free-flowing nature of software requirements, it is tempting to apply …

MULTIPLE STRATEGIES IN COMPUTATIONAL PROTEIN DESIGN: STRUCTURAL INTUITION, PROBABILISTIC INVERSE FOLDING, AND GENERATIVE APPROACHES
Designing proteins with specific structural and functional features has become increasingly feasible through the integration of physics-based modeling, statistical inference, and generative algorithms. This work presents conceptual, methodological, and applied examples spanning multiple stages of …

Habitat variability and ecosystem processes in intertidal soft-sediments
… can contribute to ecosystem function in terms of functional performance and the degree to which they sequester or release energy or matter that affects the supply and flow of ecosystem services. Multi-site manipulative experiments revealed how spatial variation in multiple habitat features and …

Novel Functional Graphene and its Thermodynamic Interfacial Localization in Biphasic Polyolefin Systems for Advanced Lightweight Applications
… and cost-efficient method to bring additional functional attributes that are practically impossible without a highly capital-intensive synthesis of the product from a monomer. However, most polymer groups are thermodynamically immiscible, resulting in the material to devalue in performance. The …

Molecular Regulation of Hair Follicle Morphogenesis
… may directly give rise to and reflect functional attributes of adult stem cells. To test this premise, I evaluated the role of transcription factor Lhx2 in skin development. Expressed specifically by both embryonic hair progenitors and postnatal follicle stem cells, Lhx2 functions to …

Regulation of the catalytic and allosteric properties of photoreceptor phosphodiesterase (PDE6) by the glutamic acid-rich protein-2 (GARP2)
… characteristics of GARP2 in order to reveal its functional attributes for regulating PDE6 during phototransduction in rod photoreceptors. We first improved immunological methods to better characterize GARP2. We then developed approaches to purify PDE6 free of GARP2; we also generated recombinant …
