Such properties often express higher-level characteristics of the behaviour of the process rather than the direct influences; for example stable end situations (e.g., 'after some time the crime rate stabilises'), or the effect of the occurrence of several events at the same time.
Granger causality mapping of functional MRI time series identifies those voxels that are sources or targets of directed influence for any reference region, and can, therefore, also be used in an exploratory fashion (Roebroeck et al., 2005).
The direct influence of Rome for such a long period, the superiority of its numeral system over any other simple one that had been known in Europe before about the 10th century, and the compelling force of tradition explain the strong position that the system maintained for nearly 2,000 years in commerce, in scientific and theological literature, and in belles lettres.
In another study (Thomas et al. 2004), any direct influence of preference for a certain therapy on shoulder pain could not be confirmed; however, the authors revealed that in general patients with a preference before randomization tended to have a better overall outcome than those with no preference.
There is evidence that firms launch strategically due to the direct influence of existing prices for the same drug in other countries.
Since the signal is present in the CMIP5 ensemble mean, this suggests a direct influence from radiative forcings, for example, reduced anthropogenic aerosol [ Wild et al., 2008].
Observed results offer an explanation for the direct influence of electrolyte choice on cycling efficiency of metal fluoride conversion materials.
This impact accounts for the direct influence of the signal probability of the internal nodes under the given workload as well as its indirect influence due to power consumption and temperature changes of the circuits.
Thus, evidence for a direct influence of network structure on the rate of sequence evolution is controversial and appears rather weak.
Evidence for a direct influence of SUN domain proteins on nuclear morphology came from a study which showed that in Dictyostelium the expression of an N-terminally truncated Sun1 led to its mislocalization and thence to severe nuclear deformations [31].
