Modeling systems for analyzing the consequences of chemical emergencies require as input values a number of physico-chemical substance properties, commonly as a function of temperature at atmospheric pressure.
The crack propagation rate is commonly expressed as a function of stress intensity factor or energy release rate.
Cumulative damage is commonly expressed as a function of fluence which is defined as the integral of the flux over time.
The triaxial compressive strength of intact rock is commonly characterized as a function of confining pressure, and values of the parameters that define this function are generally obtained by regression analysis of laboratory test data.
In a fisheries context, density-dependent population productivity is commonly described as a function of biomass of mature individuals, the so-called spawning stock biomass (SSB; e.g. Myers 2001).
Workers are effectively sterile in the presence of a functional queen, and though this trait has many physiological components, sterility is most commonly measured as a function of ovary activation [ 18].
The drug effect is commonly defined as a function of drug exposure (e.g. model-predicted drug concentration or daily AUC) and modelled to inhibit (models I and II) or stimulate (models III and IV) the production or loss of biomarker response.
We used single-species, multi-season occupancy models to examine associations between species occupancy and site- and landscape-scale habitat characteristics for 9 commonly encountered anurans as a function of aquatic system type and stand age class while accounting for imperfect detection.
Few studies provided overall injury rates; more commonly, rates were reported as a function of another variable, such as type of injury [ 51, 60], job status [ 62], or as a unit-specific rate [ 60, 61, 63, 64] (e.g. per 100 FTE or per 100 person-years).
Rather, the type of event most commonly observed appears to vary as a function of selenographic location on the surface.
