Furthermore, it should also be noted that the presence of re-entrant connections invalidates the standard theory of branching processes [20], and makes a rigorous determination of the branching parameter σ problematic if not impossible, e.g., in the presence of avalanches merging.
For this purpose a rigorous statistical method, known as Randomized Branching Sampling (RBS), has been applied for the direct assessment of carbon pools, fluxes (Net Primary Productivity) and plant surface areas in three forests.
He added: "There is a rigorous review process of applications submitted by the executive branch, spearheaded initially by five judicial branch lawyers who are national security experts and then by the judges, to ensure that the court's authorizations comport with what the applicable statutes authorize".
For two years, Nye led the most rigorous inquiry into the arms industry that any branch of the federal government has ever conducted.
Fraser (2009) argues that the interpretation of QFT should be based on the mathematically rigorous approaches; she focuses on constructive field theory, a branch of Wightman's axiomatic formulation of QFT.
In all its branches, science is proudly defensive of its rigorous, disciplined empiricism, methodically excising unproven beliefs from its discourse and brushing off pseudosciences that try to attach themselves to its validating coattails.
He said that because the case raised "core separation-of-powers arguments at the heart of the relationship among the three branches of government," his examination of standing must be "especially rigorous".
To determine the mode of evolution in vertebrates, we performed a rigorous statistical analysis with FoxO gene sequences, including relative rate ratio tests, branch-specific d N / d S ratio tests, site-specific d N / d S ratio tests, branch-site d N / d S ratio tests and clade level amino acid conservation/variation patterns analysis.
Stevenson viewed normative ethics the branch of ethics which seeks to resolve ethical problems in a systematic, rigorous way as the most important branch of ethics (e.g., 1944, 1 and 336).
