The results show that iron oxides demonstrate be sensitive indicators of pedoenvironmental conditions and pedogenic processes of Archeological Dark Earth.
The bioassays were presented to be sensitive indicators of soil quality and can be used to evaluate the quality of bioremediated soil.
The atomic electrostatic potentials calculated by the CHELPG method have been shown to be sensitive indicators of the gas phase and solution properties of the statins.
In addition, the loss of membrane permeability, release of 260 nm absorbing material, and leakage of K+ ions to the outside can be sensitive indicators of the disruption of membrane integrity (Cox et al. [2001]).
"As widespread, far-ranging, top-of-the-food-chain predators, raptors have proven to be sensitive indicators of environmental change, especially contamination," says Rick Watson, Vice President, of the Peregrine Fund.
Mountain glaciers are used to detect and monitor local climate change in regions not typically monitored by instrumentation, as they are considered to be sensitive indicators of climate (Haeberli et al. 2007).
Other magnetic parameters, such as the S-ratio (Bloemendal et al. 1992; Thompson and Oldfield 1986), have been demonstrated to be sensitive indicators of climate change (e.g., Meynadier et al. 1995; Snowball 1993).
These are important tools, but they have limitations including difficulties of interpretation and the likelihood that many may be sensitive indicators of emotional arousal but not valence pleasantness/unpleasantness.
Raptors represent the apex of their food webs and thus, may be sensitive indicators of HPAIV (H5N1) activity.
Conclusions: miRNA changes may be sensitive indicators of the effects of acute and chronic environmental exposure.
