(Why tie your shoes when you can use Velcro? Why add a long list of numbers when a calculator can do it faster and more reliably?) But understanding who we are and how we came to be the way we are?
Issues of scale reveal that applying ecological understanding to complex environmental problems requires two kinds of science developing an understanding of properties and processes and assembling that understanding reliably across scales of time and space.
Even authentic research experiences do not reliably improve NOS understanding (Bell et al., 2003; Morrison et al., 2009), and practicing scientists themselves have diverse views that are not always consistent with target NOS understanding (Schwartz and Lederman, 2008; Wong and Hodson, 2009).
The first exhibition is promising, and it gives visitors a reliably capacious understanding of current trends in contemporary art.
An evidence gap exists in fully understanding and reliably modeling the variations in elastic anisotropy that are observed at the millimeter scale in human cortical bone.
Further, in contrast to between-group designs (MDD vs. HC, Fig. 1), within-group designs, and, particularly, predictive studies intend to utilize heterogeneity in neural patterns to reliably stratify patients without necessarily understanding the underlying nosology and etiology6,7,25.
Not surprisingly, causes such as accidents, homicides, and suicides, associated with minimal needs for understanding underlying biomedical processes, were more reliably reported by VA respondents.
11 In addition, there is a gap in understanding how to most accurately and reliably measure: (1) the imbalance of power between the perpetrator and the victim; and (2) covert aggression that is intentionally hidden from adults.
Much research has focused on bullying, but there remains a gap in understanding about covert aggression and how to most accurately and reliably measure children's own reports of this behaviour.
Understanding the conditions under which containment of wildlife rabies can reliably be achieved will facilitate the long-term goal of eliminating particular rabies virus variants from their respective reservoir species.
