In the animal world, there are all kinds of behaviors that are binary: for example, to flee or to fight. In any evolutionary environment, knowing your opponent's decision would not be advantageous for long because your opponent would evolve the same recognition mechanism to also know you.

It seems that everyone finds a mechanism that suits their community.

You have all these offenders in that area who could be anywhere. There is no mechanism in place for them to be registering as they should be.

We solved the riddle by finding this really ancient element conserved throughout evolution that acts as a sensing mechanism and tells these fungi when they've changed their environment.

We will set up a mechanism that exchanges (nationwide) can use. (Through) this, we would like to increase Japan's international competitiveness.

We have to develop a market mechanism and to try to diversify our energy sources.

We're very much in combat mode around here. Our users have asked us for quite a while for help in determining good e-mail from bad. We have to provide them a mechanism to do this.

It's a wicked bug, ... It's an environmental organism that's wherever the soldiers are -- in the water, in the trenches.

And it has become highly antibiotic-resistant, with all sorts of enzymes that incapacitate antibiotics and a pumping mechanism that literally pumps out the medicine.

It's a different mechanism of injury this time. Yeah, I am a little more concerned about it this time, because he did it swinging, and that's the typical way you do it. But you just don't know. He was pretty sore in Spring Training, too.

We just felt the challenge mechanism was a better and more efficient way to go and to preserve the integrity of the game. It's just a modest difference in philosophy.

It's further evidence that there's a mechanism that's modulating life span that works throughout the living world. And it might even apply to us.

It shows up a fundamental shortcoming in the act. A different mechanism needs to be introduced so users are not left stranded in this way, which is what has happened here.

This is the strongest evidence yet to support irreversibility. If we had not used the genetic data coding for this reproductive mechanism and only inferred the pattern of evolution based on the traits of living species, we would have come to the opposite conclusion and with high statistical support that the trait evolved more than once.

This is the theater of the absurd. We've said all along the governor had to have a plan. When you have an actual plan, you have a funding source, a mechanism by which to repay the bonds. . . . This governor has none of the above.

This last discovery illuminated the mechanism of protein synthesis: the protein chain is transferred in turn from one amino-acid-bearing transfer RNA to another as it grows, their order dictated by messenger RNA and ultimately by the genetic code on the DNA.

They pollute. It's not because morally they have a problem, but more because the mechanism now is rewarding those who cut corners to save cost.

I do not favor or support, nor will I vote for, a pathway to citizenship for people that are here who've broken the law.

The mechanism is still the same in 2006 but in 2007 we will replace (cash subsidy) with a conditional subsidy and we will allocate some Rp4 trillion.

The mechanism of evolution is real, is observable and is more than adequate to the task. Evolution tinkers, improvises and cobbles together new organs out of old parts.

The mechanism of surcharges might be better than trying to put things in the fare because if fuel prices go up, the surcharge reflects that. We're going to have to learn to live with surcharges - it's not something we like to do but we do need to pass on some of these costs.

The member is suggesting that the public will have an opportunity - which really is the issue. Could you advise us what mechanism you propose to adopt to get the views of the public?
