Chapter 2 presents the theoretical framework with the appropriate modifications for adverbial licensing via a spec-head or head-head relation.
Nineteen of the eighty pieces of new evidence contributed to modifications of clinical recommendations.
Additional modifications were explored through adjustment of the distribution of daily costs incurred during a hospital stay.
Once primordial follicles enter this phase the first morphological modifications are an increase in oocyte volume accompanied by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of follicle cells.
A set of proteins showing cell cycle dependent modifications in the early mouse embryo.
Such putative modifications may find expression not during the process of fertilisation itself but rather during subsequent development - or failure of development - of an embryo.
Modulations of neural responses due to motor behavior could influence activitydependent synaptic modifications.
The present results demonstrate that this process produces extensive ultrastructural modifications at cytoplasmic and nuclear levels.
