Mr. Wlezien, who worked with Robert Erikson of Columbia University in devising his model, said its calculations matched the outcome of the presidential elections from 1952 through 1996.
This comprehensive map provides the basis for explicit comparative neuroanatomical studies and will be of particular value in devising rodent models of human cingulate diseases.
At a time when national and local governments are trying to find cheaper, more efficient ways of providing information and other resources, service design is likely to play an increasingly important role in devising new models.
There has been a squabble over the prices BT is charging for using its ducts and poles – despite some sharp reductions from its original quotes and a green light from Ofcom – claims that local authorities are not always helpful with planning decisions, and difficulty in devising funding models.
In devising their mathematical model, the researchers systematically sifted through the existing scientific literature on cat-wildlife interactions, eliminated studies in which the sample size was too small or the results too extreme, and then extracted and standardized the findings from the 21 most rigorous studies.
Global businesses have a unique role to play in devising these new models of collaboration precisely because they are engaged in diverse contexts.
Limited data availability and amplification of the uncertainties involved in devising and parameterising models presents further difficulties [ 32, 33].
The researchers assembled readily available data from the National Air Pollution Surveillance monitoring network in Canada and devised models to predict ambient concentrations of five pollutants at a national scale while capturing within-city pollution variability.
Texas, on the other hand, was one of the first states to adopt statewide curriculum guidelines, back in 1998, and the guidelines it came up with (which are referred to as TEKS — pronounced "teaks" — for Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) were clear, broad and inclusive enough that many other states used them as a model in devising their own.
The study also indicates that gnotobiotic mice, transplanted with the fecal communities of different groups, might be a valuable model in devising individualized dietary interventions.
