An overly simplistic example might be a chemical which inhibits growth by interacting with a variant in a growth factor gene.
XPS highlighted the over-simplistic nature of common models for chemical interaction between layers.
However, using log K ow as an indicator for bioaccumulation may be too simplistic, considering the diverse structures of environmental chemicals and the complexity of biological matrices.
Despite the important role that ecological risk assessments play in supporting governmental regulatory programs for controlling toxic chemicals, many assessments rely on simplistic approaches that fail to incorporate basic ecological information and existing methods for predictive modeling.
In addition nicotine quantification is reasonably simplistic compared to that of other more complex, trace or volatile chemical compounds such as those found in the vapour phase of tobacco smoke.
Allelopathy (negative, plant-plant chemical interactions) has been largely studied as an autecological process, often assuming simplistic associations between pairs of isolated species.
Furthermore, this very simplistic method of classification does not take into account the unique properties of chemicals or the environments to which they are released [12].
Arguably simplistic on its approach, this study illustrates how an improved understanding of the role of chemical and physical processes on the breakdown mechanics of solid foods can facilitate valid inferences with respect to their in-vivo performance during digestion.
The valence bond model description of a chemical structure has proven to be incredibly useful to chemists, even though it is simplistic compared to a full quantum mechanical description.
The hypothesis that persistent lipophilic chemicals, on a lipid-adjusted basis, have consistent concentrations across matrices is likely too simplistic.
