Riggs (1973), showed that watershed area could be the most important factor in runoff discharge, whereas the current study indicated that the adoption of the method for calculating the peak discharge of the hydrograph, even in the same watershed, could yield very different results.
The most important output flux is discharge of excess surface water during autumn and winter.
Highly energetic electrons represent the most important character of glow discharge plasma.

All staff had adapted to this pace and many felt that one of their most important duties was to discharge patients because they needed beds for other incoming patients.
The stepwise logistic model revealed that the most important predictors of early discharge were baseline YMRS total score (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.89, p <.001), and change in YMRS from baseline to evaluation at Days 2 (adjusted OR = 0.94, p =.026) and 7 (adjusted OR = 0.93, p =.003).
In preparing the consensus meeting, the cardiologists were asked to write down, in order of importance, the six to eight most important attributes when deciding to discharge a patient presenting with acute chest pain from the emergency department without further diagnostic testing (decision moment A).
