By definition, diversity is an indicator of difference, and the word "diverse" has become – albeit semantically incorrectly – synonymous with "different," as in the expression "a diverse individual". Thus diversity emphasizes differences rather than highlighting commonalities, which leads to friction and discomfort, while decreasing the likelihood of inclusion.
Methodologically, the water cycle is identified by the indicator of difference between evapotranspiration and precipitation (E-P).
While the method is not expected to precisely quantify the amount of base flow in a stream, the BFI has been found to be a reasonable indicator of differences in base flow among different streams (Wahl and Wahl 1995).
The ratio of the areas of the anterior and posterior segments of the corpus callosum, described by self-designed formula KCC = (CC2 + CC3) x CC6/CC7 proved to be a reliable indicator of differences between the brain of preterm and term infants, and of children with cerebral palsy and their healthy peers respectively.
The data inTable 2 are primarily quantitative in nature andgenerally a good indicator of differences in the three burning scenarios.However, a potential weakness of the values presented is related to varyingmarket conditions.
Cell division is a specific indicator of differences in cell cyles and was measured with CFSE staining of effector cells, while proliferation assessed overall capacity of effector cell proliferation measured by 3 [H]-thymidin incorporation.
Thus, in contrast to what some authors have previously suggested based on more restricted data sets [14], [15], primary productivity is not a strong indicator of differences in trophic structure across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
Correlations provide a criterion of relative agreement, but researchers also need an indicator of differences in group mean scores [ 19].
Employee ratings of the importance and actual presence of various job characteristics is an indicator of differences in the human resource environment of the respondents.
The substantial differences in Vmax between thermal acclimation conditions is strong indicator of differences in MyHC content of the muscle, although that conclusion must be confirmed via molecular techniques (see below).
These changes may provide an important indicator of differences in local conditions, such as changes in subglacial hydrology, unusual terminus behavior, or differences in timing and availability of runoff.
