We developed a conceptual state-and-transition model for upland aspen/conifer stands occurring across a range of topographic positions.
A conceptual state-and-transition model of vegetation dynamics in the semiarid Highland savanna in central Namibia, emphasising bush thickening by A. mellifera, is described.
We developed conceptual state-and-transition models for each of two broad sagebrush groups a warm-dry group characterized by Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young) communities and a cool-moist group characterized by mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp. vaseyana [Rydb.] Beetle) communities.
McDowell's central claim is that there can be appropriate rational relations between perceptions and beliefs only if perceptions have conceptual contents, on the grounds that such rational relations can hold only between conceptual states (McDowell 1994a, 2006).
Current models of institutional care have two conceptual states, namely short-stay and long-stay states.
However, in practice this may be restrictive as patients from other care systems may experience more than two conceptual states.
A continuous time Markov model of the flow of elderly residents within and between residential and nursing care assumes that residents may go through two conceptual states (i.e. not observable) - short-stay and long-stay states - before discharge, predominately by death [ 7] (see, Figure 1).
The main differences in the model are the need for more than two conceptual states to achieve suitable model fit and the fact that movements between types of care, which rarely occur in continuing care, do not need to be considered.
Bradley's answer is that we cannot understand this in detail, but can get some grasp on what he means by considering a pre-conceptual state of immediate experience in which there are differences but no separations, a state from which our familiar, cognitive, adult human consciousness arises by imposing conceptual distinctions upon the differences.
If not, why not?" Like all conceptual notions, nation states exist as figments of our collective imagination.
