For instance, as a compromise between complexity and speed of the delivery, in this study we had to step back from a preferred 12 tank-in-series plug-flow system to a 3 tank-in-series complete-mix configuration.

An important area of application of these techniques is the study of biological processes that develop over time by collecting RNA expression data at selected time points and analyzing them to identify distinct cycles or waves of expression (see Table1 ). Progress in the development of high throughput protein level assays (Gygi et al.... In PAGE 2: ... These conditions are easily met when sampling speech data through appropriate electronics and data processing, but not for RNA expression level data where collection of data at a time point involves laborious and costly steps. Examples of unevenly and sparsely sampled RNA expression time series are common in the literature (see Table1 ), and this will surely be true of protein time series as well. As a result, time warping algo- rithms developed for speech recognition cannot generally be directly applied to typical expression level time series.... ..."
