The kinetic model has been used to resolve in vivo isotopic data and to estimate the fractional rates of constitutive protein synthesis, degradation and accretion.
The sandwave deposits comprise five units, numbered unit 1 to 5 in order of accretion.
Where the accretion of scholarship is contradictory he usually takes sides, but sometimes he simply reports the differences.
Listeners favour bottom-up processes when they construct meaning by accretion, gradually combining increasingly larger units of meaning from the phoneme-level up to discourse-level features.
Up to now, the only accretion ice containing mica-clay sediments allowed the recovery of a few bacterial phylotypes.
We also explore the implications of halting the solid accretion at selected core mass values during the protoplanet's growth.
Furthermore, plasma flows are ubiquitous in astrophysical contexts, such as magnetized accretion disks, collimated jets and stellar winds.
The story that emerges is a gradual accretion of incidents, each carefully considered, often developed through several versions.
