Such a work may well offer rich insights into the mentalities of an influential component of the American establishment but would be seriously deficient in its portrayal and understanding of the U.S. in its entirety.
This might be particularly detrimental for the development of ecology which is by nature interdisciplinary because it aims at linking (1) the physical and biological worlds, (2) natural and human sciences (because mankind is one of the most influential component of the biosphere and to develop applications), (3) many different scales (from genes and molecules to atmospheric circulation).
Visual contrast sensitivity was a strong independent predictor of survival as well as an influential component of the multivariate index we derived.
Scholars from fields ranging from education to cognitive psychology have, through theoretical and empirical work, identified several influential components of the system that provide a foundation from which discipline-based education researchers can investigate student learning in the context of science.
Although commercial and retail activities constitute a significant and influential component of urban contexts, a concern is that the stakeholders involved (e.g. merchants) can sometimes be reluctant to integrate vegetation in commercial districts.
Regulatory hubs targeting disproportionately large numbers of genes and thereby representing the most influential components of a network- have been described.

As such, this construct should not be considered complete, but rather "fit-for-purpose" and suitable for continued refinement, expansion, and addition of influential components of interest (e.g., sclerostin, Wnt pathway, vitamin D kinetics and direct actions, metalloproteinases, etc).
In this regard, the approach used in our study may be preferable, given that prognosis is a key influential component in the assignment of health state utilities.
The first and most influential component consists of 10 items and explains 22.4% of the total variance; this component was labeled "will power".
