degradation

In proportion to the degradation of his moral worth, is the increase of his worth to them ''.

A study of their activity on thyroglobulin has shown that thyroxine is not preferentially released and that the degradation proceeds stepwise with the formation of macromolecular intermediates ( Alpers, Petermann and Rall, 1956 ).

In analog systems, it is difficult to detect when such degradation occurs.

However, in digital systems, degradation can not only be detected but corrected as well.

Little Ice Age ), prolonged periods of drought, cyclical periods of topsoil erosion, environmental degradation, de-forestation, hostility from new arrivals, religious or cultural change, and even influence from Mesoamerican cultures.

Succinic acid may not be an original component of amber, but rather a degradation product of abietic acid.

The unwieldy nature of the Japanese kana with its inability to accurately represent terminal consonants has contributed to the degradation of the original Ainu.

At 2200 B. C., a marked increase in aridity and wind circulation, subsequent to a volcanic eruption, induced a considerable degradation of land-use conditions.

IAP also normally suppresses the activity of a group of cysteine proteases called caspases, which carry out the degradation of the cell, therefore the actual degradation enzymes can be seen to be indirectly regulated by mitochondrial permeability.

After a cell receives stimulus, it undergoes organized degradation of cellular organelles by activated proteolytic caspases.

The nucleus breaks into several discrete chromatin bodies or nucleosomal units due to the degradation of DNA.

Antioxidants also have many industrial uses, such as preservatives in food and cosmetics and to prevent the degradation of rubber and gasoline.

Damage to DNA can cause mutations and possibly cancer, if not reversed by DNA repair mechanisms, while damage to proteins causes enzyme inhibition, denaturation and protein degradation.

recent droughts and desertification severely affecting agricultural activities, population distribution, and the economy ; overgrazing ; soil degradation ; deforestation

Lipid-containing foods undergo digestion within the body and are broken into fatty acids and glycerol, which are the final degradation products of fats and lipids.

Protein sequence can be determined by Edman degradation, in which the N-terminal residues are hydrolyzed from the chain one at a time, derivatized, and then identified.

They are, however susceptible to structural degradation from sunlight and extremes in temperature over their lifespan.

None are complete due to degradation, but between them, they preserve text from eleven of Daniel ’ s twelve chapters.

The weaponized agent must be resistant to degradation by rain and ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, while retaining the ability to efficiently infect the human lung.

In the field of Environmental Microbiology, genome-based global studies open a new era providing unprecedented in silico views of metabolic and regulatory networks, as well as clues to the evolution of degradation pathways and to the molecular adaptation strategies to changing environmental conditions.

Octavian complained that Antony had no authority for being in Egypt ; that his execution of Sextus Pompeius was illegal ; that his treachery to the king of Armenia disgraced the Roman name ; that he had not sent half the proceeds of the spoils to Rome according to his agreement ; that his connection with Cleopatra and the acknowledgment of Caesarion as a legitimate son of Julius Caesar were a degradation of his office and a menace to himself.

Fishing has declined due to habitat degradation, overfishing, trawling, bycatch and climate change.

Thermal methods are the most commonly used and consists in increasing temperature to accelerate destabilisation ( below critical temperatures of phase inversion or chemical degradation ).

The two countries share growing concerns for the environment and want to preserve Costa Rica's important tropical resources and prevent environmental degradation.
