Another possible release mechanism is the volatilization of dioxins into the atmosphere, but there are no data to demonstrate, much less quantify, this release.
However, conventional techniques of nonlinear time series analysis generally lack sufficient sensitivity, specificity and robustness to discriminate chaos from random noise, much less quantify the chaos level.
However, prevailing tests of chaotic dynamics using myriad nonlinear or complexity measures generally lack sufficient sensitivity, specificity and robustness to discriminate chaos from random noise, much less quantify the chaos level (see Appendix S1 for critique of methods).
My final point is much less easily quantified, but no less important.
This poses some extremely daunting challenges for projecting (much less quantifying) impacts for systems that have an agricultural component.
They are about something else, something less easily quantified.
Less easily quantified has been the public rage over police brutality cases like the Abner Louima assault and the killing of Amadou Diallo, or thousands of strip-searches of people arrested for minor crimes.
There are other effects possible that are less easily quantified: on every school day, millions of schoolchildren, from different castes and religions, eat meals from the same pot together – in a socially stratified society, this cannot be seen as being anything but good for social equity.
And that comes down to less easily quantified metrics like ease-of-use and "joy in using".
Whether cardiac rehabilitation can increase cardiorespiratory fitness and which factors may influence such gains are less well quantified.
The s/ranking models and checklists rely less on quantified data and more on subjective assessments about strategic fit with corporate objectives, competitive advantage, and market trends.
