As with its monomeric structure, several conflicting models alleged that either the packing arrangement of collagen molecules is ' sheet-like ' or microfibrillar.

The microfibrillar structure of collagen fibrils in tendon, cornea and cartilage has been directly imaged by electron microscopy.

Microfibrillar collagen hemostat ( MCH ) is a topical agent composed of resorbable microfibrillar collagen.

Crests have only been found on large, fully adult specimens of Pterodactylus, indicating that this was a display structure and only developed when individuals reached maturity.

Even though the VF seem to start organizing, this is not representative of the trilaminar structure seen in adult tissues, where the layer are defined by their differential elastin and collagen fiber compositions.

Its use has changed considerably over the centuries with its focus shifting from adult adoption and inheritance issues toward children and family creation ; its structure moving from a recognition of continuity between the adopted and kin toward allowing relationships of lessened intensity.

However, some question the relation to tunicates and larvaceans, as there is no evidence of segmentation in tunicates, larval or adult, that is comparable to segmentation in vetulicolians, that the anus of urochordates is within the atrium, while that of vetulicolians is positioned at the terminal end of the tail, and, perhaps most importantly, there is no exhalant siphon, or analogous structure, seen in vetulicolians.

The shell is present in all stages of the Cavolinioidea ( euthecosomata ) life cycle, whereas in the Cymbulioidea ( pseudothecosomata ), adult Peraclididae bear shells, Cymbuliidae shed their larval shells and develop a cartilaginous pseudoconch in adulthood, and Desmopteridaen adults lack any rigid structure.

Many adult flies, especially Syrphidae, feed on pollen, and three UK syrphid species feed strictly on pollen ( syrphids, like all flies, cannot eat pollen directly due to the structure of their mouthparts, but can consume pollen contents that are dissolved in a fluid ).

In the pupa, the wing forms a structure that becomes compressed from top to bottom and pleated from proximal to distal ends as it grows, so that it can rapidly be unfolded to its full adult size.

Biological aging or senescence ( from the meaning “ to grow old ,” from “ senex ”) is the collection of accumulated changes to molecular and cellular structure of an adult organism that disrupt the organism's biology with the passage of time, resulting in deterioration and death.

The library received a two-story adult services wing and a renovation of the original structure, which housed the children's and audio-visual services sections ; the projects were completed by 1988.

Its innovative structure presents the story in reverse order, with the character regressing from a mournful adult to a young man whose future is filled with promise.

The series was based on a similar structure to the adult version, but with simpler intelligence tasks and a shorter obstacle course ( located at The American Adventure Theme Park near Nottingham, owned by the Granada Group at the time ) in place of the Physical Ability round.

This method has slight variations between adult patients and child patients, but both follow the same basic structure.

These studies have shown that in their natural environments, the nonhuman hominoids show sharply varying social structure: gibbons are monogamous, territorial pair-bonders, orangutans are solitary, gorillas live in small troops with a single adult male leader, while chimpanzees live in larger troops with bonobos exhibiting promiscuous sexual behaviour.

Therefore while the presence of a structure in adult human beings is debated, a review of the scientific literature by Tristram Wyatt concluded, " most in the field ... are sceptical about the likelihood of a functional VNO in adult human beings on current evidence.

Grammatical Subjects in home sign: Abstract linguistic structure in adult primary gesture systems without linguistic input.

The basic social structure of roosting bats is made of harems, which are composed of females and their offspring and a few adult males, known as " resident males " and a separate group of males, known as " nonresident males ".

The MMPI has been considered the gold standard in personality testing ever since its inception as an adult measure of psychopathology and personality structure in 1939.

Overall, the structure of football in Scotland is amongst the most fractured and multi-faceted in Europe, being unique in having a plurality of adult male governing bodies ( with Seniors, Juniors, Amateurs and Welfarers-see below ).

The defining feature of the Schizophora is the presence of a special structure that is used to help the emerging adult fly break free of the puparium ; this structure is an inflatable membranous sac called the ptilinum that protrudes from the face, above the antennae.

Based on this fact McDougall proposed in 1985 that the alexithymic part of an adult personality could be " an extremely arrested and infantile psychic structure ".

They undergo a radical metamorphosis, with the larval and adult stages differing considerably in their structure and behaviour.

A trained artist is familiar with the skeleton structure, joint location, muscle placement, tendon movement, and how the different parts work together during movement.

In addition, because the tendon is a multi-stranded structure made up of many partially independent fibrils and fascicles, it does not behave as a single rod, and this property also contributes to its flexibility.

Several mechanotransduction mechanisms have been proposed as reasons for the response of tenocytes to mechanical force that enable them to alter their gene expression, protein synthesis, and cell phenotype, and eventually cause changes in tendon structure.

A constant upward pull by the tendon on the coffin bone and other structure of the horse's hoof creates the condition.

Also note that a similar structure attaching one end to muscle and the other end to a tendon is known as a Golgi tendon organ.

In conjunction with the coracoid and the scapula, it forms a unique structure called the triosseal canal, which houses a strong tendon that connects the supracoracoideus muscles to the humerus.

The first part of the new structure -- that for supporting the basic program of vocational rehabilitation services -- is described in this Section.

" The structure repeats on the first floor and in the design of two windows at the ends forming galleries, but on the large central window there are two balconies as described above.

It is estimated that acetamide is described by resonance structure A for 62 % and by B for 28 %

' Before the 2003 invasion of Iraq Dr. Muayad Said described the structure before the filling of the reservoir: ' It has an octagonal body enhanced by alcoves, some of which are blind.

Whorf argued that paying attention to how other physical phenomena are described in the study of linguistics could make valuable contributions to science by pointing out the ways in which certain assumptions about reality are implicit in the structure of language itself, and how language guides the attention of speakers towards certain phenomena in the world which risk becoming overemphasized while leaving other phenomena at risk of being overlooked.

The structure of proteins is traditionally described in a hierarchy of four levels.

The electronic structure of a crystal is in general described by a band structure, which defines the energies of electron orbitals for each point in the Brillouin zone.

Since the time of Pāṇini, at least, linguists have described the grammars of languages in terms of their block structure, and described how sentences are recursively built up from smaller phrases, and eventually individual words or word elements.

Important features of natural language syntax such as agreement and reference are not part of the context-free grammar, but the basic recursive structure of sentences, the way in which clauses nest inside other clauses, and the way in which lists of adjectives and adverbs are swallowed by nouns and verbs, is described exactly.

Balinese caste structure has been described in early 20th century European literature to be based on three categories – triwangsa ( thrice born ) or the nobility, dwijati ( twice born ) in contrast to ekajati ( once born ) the low folks.

Coordination complexes are so pervasive that the structure and reactions are described in many ways, sometimes confusingly.

In coordination chemistry, a structure is first described by its coordination number, the number of ligands attached to the metal ( more specifically, the number of donor atoms ).

) The notation " h / 2 " refers to the M < sub > 2 </ sub > C type structure described above, which is only an approximate description of the actual structures.

Since then, other variant designs involving building an artificial structure or series of structures to encompass a star have been proposed in exploratory engineering or described in science fiction under the name " Dyson sphere.

This is illustrated in the figure above, where the first pattern is the diffraction pattern of a single slit, given by the function in this equation, and the second figure shows the combined intensity of the light diffracted from the two slits, where the function represent the fine structure, and the coarser structure represents diffraction by the individual slits as described by the function.

For Derrida, Genesis and Structure are both inescapable modes of description, there are some things that " must be described in terms of structure, and others which must be described in terms of genesis ," but these two modes of description are difficult to reconcile and this is the tension of the structural problematic.

Miller has described deconstruction this way: “ Deconstruction is not a dismantling of the structure of a text, but a demonstration that it has already dismantled itself.

In mathematics, more specifically in abstract algebra and ring theory, a Euclidean domain ( also called a Euclidean ring ) is a ring that can be endowed with a certain structure – namely a Euclidean function, to be described in detail below – which allows a suitable generalization of the Euclidean division of the integers.

The Greek governmental structure is similar to that found in many other Western democracies, and has been described as a compromise between the French and German models.
