Nevertheless, their success in natural populations suggests that some potentially cancer-specific indicators of thresholds can be identified and deployed in laboratory-based research and in the clinic". Like expansions of wild animal populations, tumor growth shows spatial diversity, with similar mutations clustering to the exclusion of other variants.
Although ecological thresholds are complex and difficult to estimate, proxies combining climatic and habitat variables (wet/dry, cold/hot, open/closed) that describe a species range, could perhaps be good indicators of thresholds, for larger bodied mammals.
This will be a challenging proposition since it is difficult to anticipate threshold changes and because the array of potential states into which a system may change is highly uncertain; thus concentrated research to understand the characteristics and indicators of threshold responses will be essential.
To convince markets of it - after all, they're the ones that set our borrowing costs, Yellen and other central bankers use unemployment as the main indicator of a threshold in their forward guidance policy, which is relatively easy to follow and not subject to a lot of revision.
Image number at the time of response was recorded as an indicator of detection threshold.
The framework of five criteria could be adapted by modification or substitution of indicators or adaptation of thresholds among classes, and thus be applied to other species of conservation importance.
Next, calculate the partition entropy, which is a statistical indicator of the quality of threshold t c as a discretization value for PLM l in relation to the discretization of PLM j.
The goal of these ecological condition assessments is to use a subset of indicators and thresholds to evaluate ecological condition of selected park units to frame management issues and alternatives and to report these findings to the public and government stakeholders.
The sea-surface temperature anomaly last week in the Nino3.4 region (see second image) was 1.0ºC above average, well above the 0.5ºC mark considered to be a threshold indicator of El Niño conditions.
Moreover, as showed in Table 1 there were no statistical differences within areas, so we decided to use the mean values as an indicator of a generic skin threshold of the head.
