This suggests that the identified genes of as-yet unknown function are sensible targets for further targeted functional characterisation or as candidates for association mapping, as well as providing a set of genes that can serve as robust markers of leaf developmental age.

In this paper, a simplified procedure to determine the optimal glazed system in function of the sensible and latent energy requirements, is proposed.
The neural network classifiers clearly deliver the diagnostic indications of the faults introduced into the structural systems, which suggests that the transmissibility function is a sensible response-only data source for structural fault diagnosis.
While the underlying causes of this error type can be complex and hard to discern, a linear function provides a sensible starting point.
A non-linear function would be sensible if, for example, the effect of duration increased quickly and then remained high.
