However, the degree to which this will happen cannot be predicted with confidence by current models.
In ecosystems, as in economics, the future cannot be predicted with confidence.
However, the impact of potential reductions in herbivore loads, in combination with other factors (e.g., climate change and increased atmospheric nitrogen deposition), on the rate of vegetation change cannot be predicted with confidence at present.
Thus, in short-term mutagenicity tests, the acrylates and methacrylates behave as a single chemical category, and genotoxicity behavior of a similar chemical can be predicted with confidence by inclusion within this chemical class, thus avoiding unnecessary testing.
What would you bet? Clarifying what drives short-term wiggles in climate conditions, and whether they can be predicted with confidence, is a vital enterprise as ever more people crowd onto planet Earth, many in poor places with little resilience to today's climate variations, let alone those that could be amplified by a building greenhouse effect.
The ecological effects of introducing lodgepole pine, with a tree structure very similar to that of the native Scots pine, cannot yet be predicted with confidence, but managers should be cautious about creating new plantations in landscapes where there is a desire to avoid the invasion of an exotic species.
Therefore, the effect of increasing age on the uptake for both screening examinations cannot be predicted with confidence.
Gone are the days when teams and captains could be predicted with confidence, and as all the signs appeared to point to Rio Ferdinand gaining the armband on a permanent basis, Terry arrived stage left to keep his job.
Because synthesis is such a complicated, multi-faceted process 'what is made' is often limited by 'what can easily be made' using well established, trusted reactions where the outcome can be predicted with confidence before entering the lab.
Phone app data may not be as accurate as accelerometers, however it can be predicted with confidence that actually accelerometer values would be slightly higher than phone app data values.
Therefore, the effect of increasing age on uptake cannot be predicted with confidence.
