Where each nation has its own energy policies and laws, predicting how a state with natural gas reserves that require hydraulic fracturing will regulate the industry is of paramount importance for potential developers and extractors.
It is of paramount importance that the potential for heterogeneity effects be accounted for when quantifying element concentrations; the fluorescence ratio method can, in some cases, be used to help interpret the SXRFM results.
The high occurrence of sequences affiliated to parasitic and saprotrophic HF-containing lineages could be of paramount importance, as the potential ecological implications can significantly change our conception of the carbon flows in aquatic microbial food webs (Fig. 4).
Seepage is a primary driver of levee and dam failure, and understanding its potential is of paramount concern to engineers and resource managers.
Knowledge of the performance of counter-current flow PRO under various operating conditions (on equilibrium or off equilibrium) is of paramount importance to understand the potential capacity of the technology and to optimize process design.
In the case of foundation species such as forest trees (see [ 3]), their adaptive potential is of paramount importance, as it allows to predict the evolutionary responses of entire terrestrial ecosystems in the context of global climate change [ 4].
Thus, the way prices are perceived by potential tourists is of paramount importance.
The water retention curve (θ(h)), which defines the relationship between the volumetric water content and the matric potential (h), is of paramount importance to characterize the hydraulic behaviour of soils.
The rights and safety of residents should be of paramount concern here, and the positive potential of video cameras to protect the safety of residents has obvious appeal.
Given the risk of bias associated with a non-randomised design, adjustment for potential confounders is of paramount importance.
