- The process of bone regeneration in conjunction with biomaterials has been extensively documented, and several terms have been coined, including osseointegration, osteoconduction, and osteoinduction. Osseintegration has been defined as the integration of a screw-shaped titanium implant with direct bone contact, withstanding the functional load without loosening.
- 2021 March 10, Giulio E. Brancati, Chahinaz Rawas, Antoine Ghestem, Anton I. Ivanov, Christophe Bernard, “Spatio-temporal heterogeneity in hippocampal metabolism in control and epilepsy conditions”, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, volume 118, number 11, :
- A greater neurotransmitter release probability should increase the metabolic load (e.g., for neurotransmitter recycling). Another contributing factor is the intrinsic excitability, which is greater in the VH than in the DH. This is consistent with the greater level of metabolic activity in ventral slices in the absence of stimulation. In addition, glial cells will be highly mobilized, particularly for K+ and neurotransmitter uptake. The VH contains one-third less astrocytes than the DH in rats. Therefore, the heavier functional load must be carried by a smaller quantity of astroglial cells, which requires more intense metabolic activity.
- (linguistics) A measure of how much a difference between phonemes disambiguates between different words.
- The difference between voiced and voiceless TH in English bears a low functional load.
- 1967, Robert D. King, “Functional Load and Sound Change”, in Language[9], volume 43, number 4, page 831:
- The term functional load is customarily used in linguistics to describe the extent and degree of contrast between linguistic units, usually phonemes. In its simplest expression, functional load is a measure of the number of minimal pairs which can be found for a given opposition. More generally, in phonology, it is a measure of the work which two phonemes (or a distinctive feature) do in keeping utterances apart—in other words, a gauge of the frequency with which two phonemes contrast in all possible environments.

- Collectively, (3) to (8) provide evidence for the reconstruction of morpheme- and root-initial *g, albeit with quite a low functional load.
- 1999, Kathleen Bardovi-Harlig, “FROM MORPHEME STUDIES TO TEMPORAL SEMANTICS: Tense-Aspect Research in SLA”, in Studies in Second Language Acquisition[11], volume 23, number 3, page 351:
- Following the adverbial-only stage, verbal morphology appears. At first it is not used systematically, and learners continue to rely on time-adverbials. As the use of tense morphology increases, the functional load of the adverbials decreases and the actual ratio of time adverbials to finite verbs may also decrease.
