Finally, they develop more precise measures of experience.
Scientists typically accept a prevailing paradigm and try to extend its scope by refining theories, explaining puzzling data, and establishing more precise measures of standards and phenomena.
Quantitative views of cellular functions require precise measures of rates of biomolecule production, especially proteins the direct effectors of biological processes.
Thanks to on-board GPS equipment and cameras mounted on helicopters hovering over the course, viewers were given precise measures of the catamarans' velocity and the exact distance between them.
Rod A. Smith, an I.B.M. technical fellow and vice president for emerging Internet technologies, says he likes the term because it nudges people's thinking up from the machinery of data-handling or precise measures of the volume of data.
Monitoring is essential for effective conservation and management but the ability of monitoring to deliver accurate and precise measures of changes in abundance is often not evaluated, particularly in marine studies.
But that's a pretty unsatisfactory, crude estimate of what's happening, and another argument for establishing a baseline of what species exist and where is so that we can have pretty precise measures of the rates of extinction, which habitats are being impacted most, and which taxa are suffering most.
To cope with the impracticality of making precise measures of the Sun's hour angle or altitude, particularly in uncooperative weather conditions, various devices have been employed, but all have been calibrated with respect to astronomical phenomena related to the Earth's rotation, or to its orbital motion with respect to the Sun.
Comparisons of the amino acid sequences of corresponding proteins in different species provided quantitatively precise measures of the divergence among species evolved from common ancestors, a considerable improvement over the typically qualitative evaluations obtained by comparative anatomy and other evolutionary subdisciplines.
And in an industry obsessed with price targets and precise measures of value, Bolton finds a range of intrinsic value estimates more than appropriate.
Construct validity was supported by moderate to strong correlations with legacy measures.PROMIS item banks and their short forms provide evidence that they are reliable and precise measures of generic symptoms and functional reports comparable to legacy instruments.
