There have been a number of incremental discoveries, but nothing approaching the scale of D6.
The model was therefore incremental, respective to the discovery of a filled chest in every environment.
At the same time, an important challenge we face when assessing the performance of these methods is that because of the incremental nature of scientific discovery, our knowledge of any given protein's function is likely to be partial.
Most discoveries are incremental steps, and if a writer comes to terms with the earlier steps, new findings generally slide into an intelligible context.
Frankie's sense of sexual self-discovery, his incremental awareness and avowal of his desires and his pleasures, is cut off from any sense of emotional growth and sensitivity.
For his part, Klotz says that, in this day of big science, his experience shows that "with the right idea it's still possible to make, not a monumental discovery, but an incremental one".
Discovery science is an incremental process and basic research can make a real contribution to future discoveries even though that contribution may be difficult to quantify.
Darden has countered with a focus on the strategies that scientists employ to construct, evaluate, and revise mechanical explanations of phenomena; on her view, discovery is a piecemeal, incremental, and iterative process of mechanism elucidation.
My impression however is that these are only incremental advances more than a true discovery.
