Unlike the minimal failure modes defined by minimal intervention sets, the ESM measure gives quantitative importance values for all signaling components, regardless of whether they are important or not.
The quantitative importance of these processes, now and over geologic time, can be summarized by referring to the table.
Further investigation seems to confirm the quantitative importance of networks as an information device.
However, few in-depth pond studies exist, especially so regarding their quantitative importance for the C exchange between land and atmosphere.
Although the C emission from the thaw ponds are of quantitative importance, the exact contribution should be treated with caution given the uncertainty in area of ponds.
Inhibition of NKCC1 (upon intraventricular delivery of inhibitor) decreased CSF production by 50% in mice, the quantitative importance underscored by a similar finding in dogs51.
A critical question is to what degree the emissions from thaw ponds are of quantitative importance compared to the overall C exchange from permafrost wetlands.
These results highlight the quantitative importance of small blowdowns that have been overlooked in previous satellite remote sensing studies.
In marine systems, the attention is focused on diazotrophic cyanobacteria, because of their quantitative importance in supplying new N to the upper ocean.
Several P450 enzymes including CYP26A1, CYP2C8, and CYP3A4 have been proposed to be responsible for RA clearance in the liver but their quantitative importance has not been demonstrated.
This article also describes different sampling systems for volatilization studies, elaborates the fate of biogenic volatile Se compounds in the atmosphere, and further demonstrates the quantitative importance of biological volatilization in Se removal from constructed wetlands treating Se-laden agricultural drainage water.
