Sentence examples for quantitative mechanisms from inspiring English sources

Using 3D image analysis, this study makes a strong contribution to elucidate quantitative mechanisms underlying the observed relationship between biodiversity and habitat complexity.

Although the Pacific oyster has been introduced world-wide, and has formed dense reefs in the receiving coastal waters, the population biology of live oysters and the quantitative mechanisms maintaining these reefs has rarely been studied, hence the aim of the present work.

High fidelity and speed are usually competing design constraints in man-made machines, and as such the underlying logic and quantitative mechanisms of the spindle assembly checkpoint are of interest to life scientists and physical scientists alike.

For example, there is currently a good deal of interest in quantitative mechanisms for assessing multitissue arrays, but the latest references here are 2002 and already out of date.

Here, we used experimental and computational approaches to dissect the quantitative mechanisms underlying the ordered degradation of the substrates of the ubiquitin ligase APC/CCdc20, a key regulator of chromosome segregation in mitosis.

He also said the department was moving to develop a "quantitative mechanism" to pinpoint those officers who were the object of complaints from civilians over street stops.

The vibrational model uses a geometric approach, the IBM employs a severely truncated model space, and as such, calculations are possible for nuclei with N nucleons, providing a quantitative mechanism to compare experimental results and calculated values [21].

It provides a quantitative mechanism for constraining the causal factors of ash hazard globally and can be used to underpin prioritisation of sources for further local scale dispersal modelling work.

This quantitative, mechanism based approach has allowed limited experimental in vivo and in vitro data to be quantitatively integrated with physiological data to facilitate predictions of the behavior of organisms under different exposure conditions.

Nevertheless we regard it as a major challenge for researchers interested in oscillatory actitivity to investigate in future studies under which conditions and in which populations the quantitative mechanism (indexed by stronger iGBR activity) or the qualitative mechanism (indexed by a sharpened activation of neuronal populations) comes at play.

However, in our understanding this demonstrates that high frequency oscillations may efficiently activate high-level object representations in two ways: either via a quantitative mechanism indexed by stronger iGBR activity or a qualitative mechanism indexed by a sharpened (or tuned) activation of neuronal populations.
