There are at least three different categories of climate change effects, each associated with a different level of uncertainty: foreseeable changes, imaginable changes, and unknown and therefore surprising changes.
This can be combined with structural reliability predictions to give bounds on the evidence about the success of the total process which covers all foreseeable aspects of the uncertainty.
Hence, quantitative RT PCR confers high sensitivity to CTC identification, although uncertainties are foreseeable with respect to specific primer and target gene selection.
The field of robotics is increasingly moving from robots confined to factory floors and assembly lines and bound to perform the same tasks over and over in an uncertainty-free, well foreseeable environment, to robots designed for operating in highly dynamic and uncertainty domains, like those of interest in space exploration.
"We're going to be in a period of uncertainty for the foreseeable future," opines Mark A. Weinberger, President Bush's first tax policy chief, now at Ernst & Young.
As discussed earlier, one foreseeable reason is the low uncertainty: Healthy food criteria are already widely accepted as guidelines for food innovations, and the health issues at stake (e.g. excessive use of salt) have already been broadly discussed in society (Blok et al., 2015).
Addressing the crowd outside the court from his stage – which was funded by the Middle East Forum, a wing-nut US think-tank – he told his crowd of supporters that, after the uncertainty, "For the foreseeable future, I can make plans".
Still, the uncertainty is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
Finally, we need to recognize that perfect individualized health forecasting is not a realistic target in the foreseeable future, and we have to live with considerable residual uncertainty.
Today, and for the foreseeable future, organizations will face ever-increasing levels of complexity and uncertainty.
