Fans of the mathematician Alan Turing may recognize that this is a demonstration of a process that he first described, hypothetically, in 1952 to account for patterns in nature like a zebra's stripes or a leopard's spots.
Gleason scoring represents the standard for diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and assessment of prognosis following radical prostatectomy (RP), but it does not account for patterns in neighboring normal-appearing benign fields that may be predictive of disease recurrence.
These techniques proved that the mean curvature, filtered over a neighborhood of 55 m, together with slope, made up the optimal combination to account for patterns of soil productivity.
To account for patterns of gene flow and spatial genetic structure due to alpine landscape features, sampled stands were subdivided into three geographical groups, each including at least one sampled altitudinal gradient.
To account for patterns of phylogenetic relatedness that might bias across-species comparisons, we contrasted the series of fruit phenotypic traits between megafaunal and non-megafaunal species by means of within-family and within-genus contrasts.
The failure of these tangential expansion models to account for pattern-specific folding, and thus for the genetic contribution to gyrification may be overcome by considering the consequences of a differential, rather than a uniform cortical expansion.
The weights are designed to account for patterns of recruitment.
Second, we were unable to account for patterns of dietary intake in this study.
These models combine multiple environmental parameters to account for patterns of expression in the field of co-expressed gene clusters.
Modelling seasonal influenza, in contrast to pandemic influenza, must account for patterns of pre-existing partial or full immunity.
