The collective began as a workshop last spring, part of a yearlong exhibition called "Mend," and it runs under a simple, useful premise: people bring broken objects to be fixed, or else come empty-handed with a willingness to help others fix things.
It's a promising idea, but if the data actually is useful, Premise will need to start providing a lot of it — and that means, presumably, hiring a whole lot more contributors.
A useful general premise we have found is that subnetworks differ more from the true network in non-local properties: i.e. their degree distributions will be more "similar" (in a loose sense which has been made somewhat more precise [ 5, 10]) than, for example, motif spectra [ 11, 12].
The eventual adoption of the biomarker as a useful pharmacodiagnostic test is premised upon this early translational research.
Such premises give Banville a useful vehicle for his themes of mortality, creativity, and the possibility of making something truly new in a world that seems increasingly exhausted morally, politically, and spiritually.
Although this decomposition is not directly specified by the proposed concept of DS, it strengthens our premise that decomposition is a useful way to understand future changes through understanding of individual influences of decomposed components on the future change.
While I may not frame the matter this way now, it remains a useful question, if only because it reveals a premise I am no longer willing to buy -- the illusion of individual autonomy.
Premise of the study: Dendrometer bands are a useful way to make sequential repeated measurements of tree growth, but traditional dendrometer bands can be expensive, time consuming, and difficult to construct in the field.
Furthermore, VuWiki is built on the premise of collaborative authoring, which relies on social incentives and community building to grow and mature as a useful tool for researchers.
