The first two geometries, the flat plate/cylinder and the sharp cone, are canonical, zero-pressure gradient flows which are amenable to theory-based correlations, and these correlations are discussed in detail.
Reed et al. [ 31] argue that IC is a mid-range theory that is more amenable to hypothesis testing than the RBV and KBV because it more narrowly considers three types of intangible, knowledge-based resources, namely human, structural and relational capital.
The iso-energetic and some other concepts corroborate the idea that the brain is amenable to chaos theory.
For instance, amusement cannot merely be a sensitivity to the funny, in order to be amenable to a sentimentalist theory of humor in terms of (fitting) amusement.
By couching their theory in explicitly scientific terms, IDT's authors have made the theory amenable to educated individuals with some level of basic scientific knowledge, who may be hesitant to adopt explicitly religious resolutions to existential concerns.
However, several factors make graph theory especially well suited to the geosciences: Inherent complexity, exploration of very large data sets, focus on spatial fluxes and interactions, and increasing attention to state transitions are all amenable to analysis using graph theory approaches.
The strong inference approach involves developing and contrasting alternative theories including null theories, which will not give rise to emergent properties to determine the theory most amenable to reproducing the observed patterns [ 28].
Such reduced models are useful to test alternative biological hypotheses and can be amenable to detailed analysis using bifurcation theory and comprehensive sensitivity analysis [ 74].
The first three themes are, in theory, more amenable to modification than the last, for example through the development of systems to improve identification and access to eligible participants [ 18], designing studies with reduced participant burden [ 10] and ensuring that recruiters have the appropriate knowledge and skills [ 19].
John Headley Brooke, in "Genesis and the Scientists: Dissonance among the Harmonizers," returns to some of the scientific controversies already examined in Watson's essay, concluding similarly that Darwin's theory may be more amenable to Christianity than attempts at harmonizing Genesis with current scientific theories, since Darwin "purged it [Christianity] of a semi-deistic position".
The theory should be amenable to empirical investigation.
