For example, many people with cancer not only inherit the disease gene for the disorder, but may have also failed to inherit specific tumor suppressor genes.

Title XI, subtitle A, formally known as the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, but commonly known as the Federal Assault Weapons Ban or Semiautomatic Assault Weapons Ban, barred the manufacture of 19 specific semi-automatic firearms, classified as " assault weapons " ( a non-technical term ), as well as any semi-automatic rifle, pistol, or shotgun that is capable of accepting a detachable magazine, and which has two or more of the following features: A telescoping or folding stock, a pistol grip, a flash suppressor, a grenade launcher, and a bayonet lug.

Thus, in order for maximum effectiveness to be achieved, the suppressor must be " tuned " for a specific cartridge / barrel length combination.

That is, if a firearm requires a specific permit, the corresponding suppressor requires the identical permit as well.

This is a much underappreciated fact since mutations in specific genes known as oncogenes or tumor suppressor are primarily thought to be behind genetic instability and tumorigenesis.

This condition includes also the inactivation of specific tumor suppressor genes ( see below ).

The second specific comment was the report of Eisenhower's Commission on National Goals, titled Goals For Americans.

Assuming thermal equilibrium between the anode surface and the transpiring argon, the gas enthalpy rise through the anode was calculated according to the relation Af whereby the specific heat of argon was taken as Af.

A red filter, Zeiss barrier filter with the code ( Schott ) designation BG 23, was also used in the ocular lens assembly as it improved the contrast between specific and nonspecific fluorescence.

This specific fluorescence was readily distinguished from the light green nonspecific fluorescence in consecutive sections stained with 1: 10 dilution of NS and Af or with Af alone.

When 1 ml of conjugate was passed through a column ( Af ), the first and second milliliter fractions collected were the most specific and gave no nonspecific staining in some experiments, and very little in others.

After these treatments the conjugate did not stain healthy or crown gall sweet clover tissues or stained them a very faint green which was easily distinguishable from the bright yellow-green specific staining.

In all cases a disturbing amount of nonspecific staining was still present although it was still distinguishable from specific fluorescence.

These conjugates Af had much less nonspecific staining than the previous conjugate ( with 50 mg FITC per gram of globulin ) while the specific staining was similar in both cases.

After passing Af through DEAE-cellulose, the titer of antibodies to WTV in the specific fraction was 1: 4 of the titer before such passage ( precipitin ring tests by R. F. Whitcomb ) ; ;

In our work the best procedure for removing substances causing nonspecific staining in order to obtain specific conjugates was to pass the conjugates through a DEAE-cellulose column and in some cases to absorb the first and second milliliter fractions with sweet clover tissue powder.

The specific staining by both direct and indirect methods showed that WTV antigen was concentrated in the pseudophloem tissue and in a few thick-walled cells in the xylem region, but was not detectable in any other tissues of the root and stem tumors.

In this view, supported by only three members of the Court, a power denied by the specific provisions of Article 3, was granted by the generality of Article 1.

they had also had to generalize it -- to the point, finally, where the illusion of depth and relief became abstracted from specific three-dimensional entities and was rendered largely as the illusion of depth and relief as such: as a disembodied attribute and expropriated property detached from everything not itself.

Although the resolution might have been far more specific, it was considerably tougher than the earlier one.

This kind of art goes back to the Minoan period, when its main theme was the representation of motion in a specific moment.

When Austria became a member of the European Union, the Austrian variety of the German language — limited to 23 agricultural terms — was " protected " in Protocol No 10, regarding the use of specific Austrian terms of the German language in the framework of the European Union, which forms part of the Austrian EU accession treaty.

Abbreviations have been used as long as phonetic scripts have existed, in some sense actually being more common in early literacy, where spelling out a whole word was often avoided, initial letters commonly being used to represent words in specific application.

* The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty was signed October 4, 1991 and entered into force January 14, 1998 ; this agreement prevents development and provides for the protection of the Antarctic environment through five specific annexes on marine pollution, fauna and flora, environmental impact assessments, waste management, and protected areas.

The ABC was designed for a specific purpose, the solution of systems of simultaneous linear equations.

Their goal was to regain access to Eden by finding the correct formula for perfect living, following specific rules governing agriculture, diet, and reproduction.

Indeed, with developed positivism, the separation of law from justice, or from morality generally, became quite specific.

In this developed condition, ambergris has a specific gravity ranging from 0. 780 to 0. 926.

The mosque of Timbuktu shows that specific areas of Africa developed unique aesthetics.

Researchers in biochemistry use specific techniques native to biochemistry, but increasingly combine these with techniques and ideas developed in the fields of genetics, molecular biology and biophysics.

One such technology, being developed by researchers from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ( LLNL ), employs a " sandwich immunoassay ", in which fluorescent dye-labeled antibodies aimed at specific pathogens are attached to silver and gold nanowires.

Although classical liberalism built on ideas that had already developed by the end of the 18th century, it advocated a specific kind of society, government and public policy as a response to the Industrial Revolution and urbanization.

In particular, it has remained in broad use in the embedded computing world, though the recently developed EEMBC benchmark suite, HINT, Stream, and even Bytemark are widely quoted and used, as well as more specific benchmarks for the memory subsystem ( Cachebench ), TCP / IP ( TTCP ), and many others.

The term " fundamentalism " was originally coined by its supporters to describe a specific package of theological beliefs that developed into a movement within the Protestant community of the United States in the early part of the 20th century, and that had its roots in the Fundamentalist – Modernist Controversy of that time.

Moreover, in order to assist therapists in the classification of pusher syndrome, specific scales have been developed with validity that coincides with the criteria set out by Davies ’ definition of “ pusher syndrome ”.

The reloading of such large cartridges is also much more complex, as developing a load using a specific lot of powder can require nearly all of a 5 lb bottle of powder, and a load must be developed with but a single lot of powder for reasons of safety.

Horse breeds are loosely divided into three categories based on general temperament: spirited " hot bloods " with speed and endurance ; " cold bloods ," such as draft horses and some ponies, suitable for slow, heavy work ; and " warmbloods ," developed from crosses between hot bloods and cold bloods, often focusing on creating breeds for specific riding purposes, particularly in Europe.

Ponies of all breeds originally developed mainly from the need for a working animal that could fulfill specific local draft and transportation needs while surviving in harsh environments.

* Referential ideograms ( 指事字 ) -- characters that are developed with specific reference to particular entities or events in the " outside " world, whose meanings could not be simply and straightforwardly traced pictorially, phonetically, or inferentially through the internal meaning structure of the ideogram itself, e. g. the character for " clock ", which combines the pictogram for " gold " ( or " metal ") with the pictogram for " children ";

This term, used as early as 1990, describes computer-based objects developed for collecting and storing specific information, in order to use that information to accomplish a specific task, and to enable sharing that information with other objects or processes.

Other learning theories have also been developed for more specific purposes.

Initially the ability of radiation and chemical mutagens to cause mutation was exploited to generate random mutations, later techniques were developed to introduce specific mutations.

A number of methods for generating random mutation in specific protein were later developed to screen for mutants with interesting or improved properties.
