They are essential for documenting exposure-response relationships, specificity and potency toward the molecular target, untoward effects, and therapeutic applications.

Implications for future research include a need for studies testing the role of the adults' identity (parent versus stranger, mother versus father) to elucidate the relationship-specificity of the still-face effect.
There was a strong positive relationship between specificity measured as the number of bacteria upon which phages have a net negative effect and specificity measured as the differences in the intensity of negative effects, indicating that enemies with large victim-ranges tend to impact their different victims more equally than enemies with small ranges.
We determined the relationship of specificity to drug-free tilt test duration by use of data from 11 previous studies reporting the results of drug-free tilt testing in a total of 435 control subjects (60 to 80 degrees of tilt, footboard support, 15- to 60-minute duration).
We found a strong negative relationship between specificity and mean link strength (Figure 2a).
Figure 4 Negative relationship between specificity and niche overlap ( r = -0.81, p < 10 -5, R 2 = 0.74).
(b) Negative relationship between specificity and higher impact (phage-wise) across all exploited hosts (r = -0.66, p < 10-5, R2 = 0.68).
(a) Negative relationship between specificity and average impact over all exploited hosts (r = -0.81, p < 10- 5, R2 = 0.71; similar results were obtained for cumulative impact).
Past theory assumes a relationship between specificity and overall performance, i.e., fitness or population size, resulting from, for example, trade-offs between competition and parasite infection (Greenman and Hoyle 2008).
