Easton defined political behaviour as the "authoritative allocation of values," or the distribution of rewards in wealth, power, and status that the system may provide.
Inputs (demands) flow into the system and are converted into outputs (decisions and actions) that constitute the authoritative allocation of values.
The allocation of values is based on the frequency of the respective amino acid in known natural ligands, T-cell epitopes or binding peptides.
Policy-making can be viewed as involving the 'authoritative allocation of values' [ 28], and when interpreted broadly can include people making the policy as government ministers and officials, as local health service managers, or as representatives of a professional body.
For their part, some states are challenging the equalising allocation of value-added tax revenues.
With the allocation of value creation steps to the product life cycle stages, an analysis of urban production is presented and summarized for life cycle oriented industrial value creation in cities.
Some preliminary operations, such as the allocation of value and the distinction between the knowledge of the transformations and the effects that they can produce, are a prerequisite for assessment.
Spatial characterization of the environmental component involves the allocation of value for purposes of transformability or land suitability of one area: in this case close to the concept of "land suitability", that is the spatial compatibility with certain functions (Goovaerts 1997).
An initial change detection pass is used to aid in the allocation of proxy values (for missing and anomalous values) and to allocate change events to the correct year, with a second pass to characterize key change points and related time series trends (e.g., change year, post-change slopes, among others).
