This is an instance of the more general epistemological problem of extrapolating knowledge from one domain into another and can be fruitfully discussed as such (Burian 1992).
Extrapolating knowledge from the biogerontological field to nutritional science and medicine could lead to a new scientific field, called 'nutrigerontology'nutrigerontology
We demonstrate that the created model is able to extrapolate the knowledge of a chemical transformation and the associated effect on ligand affinity to any similar system.
Landscape models allow scientists and managers to extrapolate their knowledge in space and time to better understand how long-term and large-scale landscape changes may affect biodiversity.
There is also a need for developing experimental and modeling techniques to extrapolate the knowledge obtained from simple model systems to complex natural systems.
Their peculiar biology (e.g., dispersal by spores and two-phase life cycle) makes it difficult to extrapolate current knowledge on the ecology of other tree species to tree ferns.
Landscape models allow scientists and managers to extrapolate their knowledge in space and time and to therefore better understand how long-term and large-scale changes may affect biodiversity.
It is important to extrapolate this knowledge to longer lived mammalian organisms, such as mouse and eventually human, where such analyses are difficult or impossible to perform.
The distinct features of the RBRs indicate that attempts to extrapolate from knowledge of the other better characterized classes of E3 ligases are likely to fail.
