The challenge for creating quality criteria in foresight is to encompass all these different ontologisms, processes and contextual values but also to state explicitly the aim of foresight by an appropriate scientific criticism that is understood by all parties involved.
This zone encompasses all processes taking place from base of the aquifer to the top of the canopy.
We derive an exact equation for directional evolution, essentially a stochastic Price equation with migration, that encompasses all processes, both deterministic and stochastic, contributing to directional change in an open population.
Epigenetics encompasses all processes that lead to heritable changes in gene expression as cells divide, while epigenomics refers to analysis of epigenetic changes across the whole genome in a cell or entire organism [ 1, 2].
Although landscape evolution modeling encompasses all process zones (hillslope, fluvial, aeolian, glacial, and coastal), this chapter draws primarily from examples in hillslope and fluvial systems.
Issues of facility location, economies of scale and logistical interconnection have been studied in the literature, albeit in the limited context of single plants encompassing all process steps (pretreatment, fermentation, separation, purification) taking place at one 'central' facility and utilising current technologies (that is, dilute acid hydrolysis [ 10- 14]).
This chapter focuses on the sugar industry and encompasses all the elements of process engineering, including distillation, currently used in the sugar production process.
The considered model of the process encompasses all the cases analysed in the references.
" Software process encompasses all the activities that aim at developing or evolving software products.
Geological disposal systems encompass all the processes required for the permanent isolation of highly-radioactive materials from humans and the biosphere.
