Other runs with K values above 2 were made but did not produce coherent patterns of group membership.
The U/Ca ratio of aragonite coral skeleton exhibits coherent patterns of seasonal and interannual variability.
The MAD/MAF method thus provides a "statistically rigorous system to determine the spatially coherent patterns of major change in an image sequence" [12].
Such differences have been found to act both along and transverse to the chain, causing similar coherent patterns of response in erosional processes.
On the one side, xing differentiates things in terms of coherent patterns of force, providing a basis for individuation, even if what counts as an individual is contextual and provisional.
Our analyses reveal at least two coherent patterns of ecological change that are manifest in each of the four datasets, patterns which may have been overlooked by a single-variable, empirical orthogonal function approach.
This approach uses the "identification of the interpretive scheme and of how that relates to structural attributes and processes" as a starting point "to uncover coherent patterns of organizing" (Greenwood and Hinings 1993, 1055).
While regional frequency analysis was found to have limited impact on the design rainfall estimation for the current climate, it provides much more spatially coherent patterns of future change and it is recommended that regionalisation be used in all design rainfall impact assessments.
In essence, brain regions do not act in isolation, rather they display large-scale coherent patterns of activity in both space and time (See, for reviews [1], [2], [3], [4].
Notwithstanding the caveats, the simple and coherent patterns of habitat occupation by fishing vessels presented here suggest that fishing activity could be managed on a more finely resolved spatial and temporal basis.
