liturgical function
The distinction rests both upon liturgical function and on musical style.
liver function
Laboratory data were unremarkable, including liver function tests and levels of ammonia.
logarithmic function
Such a weight has the appeal of implying that utility is a logarithmic function of income.
logic function
Thus, in the above example, the logic function simplifies to the exclusive 'or' function, which is the negation of the equivalence.
logistic function
The trend in rachis length expansion was best described with a logistic function.
loss function
They provide a learning algorithm with constant gain but do not use a discounted loss function.
lung function
A better assessment of lung function, together with early repair, before pulmonary hypertensive changes occur, may further improve outcome.
main function
The wrapped main function performs some initialization, calls the old main function, and then tidies up the results.
mental function
Mental function is slowed and inefficient, with response perseverations.
metabolic function
Individuals homozygous for such defective alleles lack a normal metabolic function, and this loss of function leads to the disease state.
mitochondrial function
In the embryo there is uncoupling of mitochondrial function from replication.
monitoring function
Last is the specification of the monitoring functions: the pre-monitoring function increments the appropriate counter upon seeing a profiled expression, and the post-monitoring function does nothing.
motor function
All of the children who developed psychiatric conditions had developmental lags of motor function and what she called poor integration of visual - proprioceptive stimuli.
nerve function
An illustrative example for this is the presentation of the theory of nerve function.
neural function
Their interests ranged from modeling neural function to viral replication.
neurological function
There was significant improvement in overall neurological function, primarily in motorrelated and cortical signs, which were associated with improvement in psychopathology.
nonlinear function
This expression is harder to evaluate because it involves taking the expectation of a more complicated nonlinear function of random variables.
novel function
This novel function for peripheral astroglia indicates that this cell lineage might represent an important new disease target in permeability disorders.
objective function
Hierarchical grouping to optimize an objective function.
official function
They were forbidden to assume any official function.
oversight function
In practice, congress usually ignored its oversight function.
partition function
However, they present an efficient algorithm for the ferromagnetic case, which approximates the partition function, provided that the system is consistent.
periodic function
A weak_round operation, for example, can be used to reduce an argument to a periodic function to its primary domain.
physiological function
This indicates that they probably have a physiological function within the eggs.
polynomial function
During the stance one more polynomial function is added, to be tracked by the actuator at the ankle joint.
primary function
It was their primary function.
production function
The production function is assumed to meet the standard properties of the neoclassical per-capita production function.
proper function
Perhaps the idea is that applying proper function to the organic world is philosophically puzzling, while proper function regarding artifacts is not.
protective function
There is circumstantial evidence that fibrils may have a protective function.
pulmonary function
Reference equations used to predict pulmonary function.
recursive function
It is a routine exercise to check that each partial recursive function is computed by such a machine.
regulatory function
The expressive and regulatory function of eye gaze is particularly important at the beginning of a focused gathering between shoppers and vendors.
renal function
Aging changes in renal function.
reproductive function
Reproductive function in female mice lacking the gene for endothelial nitric oxide synthase.
respiratory function
The ketamine0xylazine mixture slows heart rate and depresses respiratory function.
ritual function
The decline of the aura therefore comes to pass when little remains of ritual function.
search function
The following shows an example use of the breadth first search function to create a list of vertices in breadth-first order.
sine function
For quantification, the direction of each neurite was transformed into an orientation index through the mathematical sine function.
sole function
The sole function of a green manure species is to enhance soil fertility and improve nutrient cycling.
specialized function
This means that there are no function calls left in the specialized function.
symbolic function
Its importance lies less in its legal or institutional applicability and more in its symbolic function.
synaptic function
With this apparent shutdown of cone synaptic function in the dark, endocannabinoids may mitigate this reduction somewhat or may even promote it.
thyroid function
Morning sickness and thyroid function.
tuning function
First, the temporal tuning function for parallel motion was obtained by averaging the responses for the opposite directions of motion.
useful function
We possess many traits, such as the appendix, that serve no useful function.
utilitarian function
Songbooks remained a mixture of art and applied art, the age-old utilitarian function remaining one of their inalienable features.
ventricular function
However, the results of objective evaluation of right ventricular function represent a somewhat more worrisome picture.
vestibular function
Vestibular function can also be assessed at the bedside.
vital function
They have performed a very vital function.
