Some demographic and genetic features of this population, related to its insularity, offered the opportunity to study the impact of natural selection, for instance in determining resistance against malaria [1] and to clarify relevant aspects of the molecular bases of monogenic diseases common in Sardinia such as Thalassemia [2], Wilson disease [3], and APECED [4].
Such considerations are approached from within both a narrow regulatory context (that is, the view of how a particular transgenic is scrutinized within existing regulatory statutes) and a broader decision context (as, for instance, in determining which technologies will be targeted for development by private enterprise and the public sector).
For instance in order to determine the order of importance for motivating and discouraging factors, health providers identified and weighted the factors they mentioned by using a preference pair ranking matrix [ 10].
For instance, in order to determine appropriate treatment of a patient enrolled in the study, it is necessary to estimate his or her risk of developing cardiovascular disease over a specified period.
Since both patient and parent-proxy reports are often used in paediatric and adolescent care, discrepancies between the two may complicate the use of HRQoL information in clinical practice-for instance, when determining if complementary interventions are needed [ 3].
For instance, in Germany, renewable energy policies determined the realization of 45.750 MW until 2020 [3].
For instance, in a 2002 vote to determine who the UK public considers the greatest British people in history, Mercury was ranked 58 in the list of the "100 Greatest Britons," broadcast by the BBC.
For instance, in large sequential logic-based models, determining and managing the states and transitions among them can be overwhelming, due to their flat, unstratified structure.
For instance, in Obamacare, the minimum coverage is determined by the so called Bronze Plan.
We can speculate that additional WGDs have not been possible in animals once sexual chromosomes have been genetically determined, except for instance in invertebrates, fishes, and amphibians (fig. 1).
For instance, in associative neural networks, the synaptic weights determine the set of attractors toward which any initial network state will evolve, after a transient which is thought to bear no relevant information [86].
