In sum, given the potential benefits and relatively small burden on respondents in terms of required time it seems advisable to incorporate measures of personality traits into competence surveys as they contribute to explaining the variability in policy-relevant outcomes.
In sum, given the conceptual generality and the well-developed theory of MDPs, coupled with the powerful solution techniques available, the MDP approach is well suited to deal with risk in forest ecosystem management, and to develop practical adaptive management policies with both economic and ecological objectives.
In sum, given these alternative interpretations of a significant peer effect, standard regressions of individual engagement in a particular activity on group means are unable to distinguish between the endogenous, exogenous and correlated effects and successful policy will vary depending on what is driving the peer effect.
In sum, given that real-life objects and events are commonly complex and hierarchically structured, so that their perceptual organization and semantic interpretation often hinges on the aspect or level an observer attends to, it seems possible that religious beliefs may indeed lead to different and sometimes discrepant and incompatible interpretations of the same incident.
In sum, given the uncertainty of effectiveness and several adverse effects, the recently observed increase in the use of second-generation antipsychotics in AN treatment in the US is difficult to understand [ 115].
In sum, given the surplus value of startle potentiation as an index of autonomic fear learning, we obtained simultaneous startle potentiation (EMG), neuroimaging (fMRI), and US-expectancy data using a differential fear-conditioning paradigm, in which one of two fear-relevant, visual conditioned stimuli (CS+ but not CS–) is paired with an aversive unconditioned stimulus (US).
Among the issues highlighted in the report are substantial sums given via 'conduits' or 'umbrella' organisations that have tax-exempt status in the US.
In the sum given above, the basis vectors are orthogonal and thus most of the terms are zero.
Any optimal flux distribution that satisfies the metabolic optimum obtained in the FBA calculation can be written in terms of the vertices, rays, and linealities using the Minkowski sum given in Eq. (20) [ 26, 27], 20 in which the vectors ϕ i, ϕ i, and ψ i represent the vertices, rays, and linealities, respectively.
Royal Dutch Shell, the big oil company, agreed to pay $15.5 million to settle a case accusing it of taking part in human rights abuses in the Niger Delta in the early 1990s, a striking sum given that the company has denied any wrongdoing.
