"While we knew that DNA was the ultimate source of genetic information, we clearly didn't have the tools to explore variation in DNA in any kind of biochemical way," said Dr. Schull, who joined the study team two years later.
Our goal was to explore variation among highly vegetated (parks) versus non-vegetated (parking lots) urban environments.
We developed measures to explore variation in treatment implementation and serve as predictors of variation in a school-based science education program.
In addition, fossil microcharcoal counts were undertaken to explore variation in fire frequency and the role of fire in peat development and landscape disturbance.
To summarize the results, we generated the box and whisker plots and heat maps (Janert 2010; Seltman 2012; Tukey 1977), to explore variation in output across the two varying parameters and within each parameter configuration when repeated 10 times.
Conversations were guided by open-ended questions by the first author to clarify divergent perspectives among participants in a given group as well as to explore variation among CRs.
We quantified magnitudes and patterns of weekly mortalities of transported fish, and used cross-classified random-effect modeling to explore variation and clustering of fish mortality claims at wholesale destinations.
Having identified love-radar and new-link-chance as two most important parameters, we explore variation in the generated dataset for the four cases (UK cities) with respect to these two parameters as shown in the box plots in Fig. 5.
In this paper, we analyzed feedback provided in dance choreography, industrial design, and mechanical engineering to explore variation in feedback type across disciplines as well as how feedback type encouraged students to take convergent or divergent paths in their design processes.
We used long-term data to: (1) explore variation in bird communities as a function of water permanence and degree of human-modification; (2) identify which environmental variables best describe differences found across riparian site types; and (3) assess how riparian bird communities, abundance, and species richness have changed through time.
To explore variation in space use under different environmental conditions, we acoustically tagged gag (Mycteroperca microlepis) established on experimental artificial reefs in the Gulf of Mexico and used an acoustic positioning array to record animal positions during the winters of 2007 and 2008.
