He argues, first, that there was an important shift from neural systems that respond to single stimuli to those that integrate multiple environmental cues.
More recent models, such as those that integrate non-parametric statistics including data envelopment analysis (DEA), promise greater utility but have gone largely untested.
This paper provides an overview of the evolution of the discipline from methods focused on finding general patterns of distribution (cladistic biogeography), to those that integrate biogeographic processes (event-based biogeography), to modern probabilistic approaches (parametric biogeography).
Biodiversity monitoring and assessment programs (BMAP) are major components of natural resources management plans, such as those for protected area management and those that integrate natural resource use with sustainable development practices.
A significant advantage of modeling in the GIS environment is that the modeling products can be seamlessly imported and used in additional modeling efforts [e.g., 88], including those that integrate ground-based and remotely sensed data [e.g., 89].
A recent commentary by Jones and colleagues stressed the importance of new clinical, toxicological, and epidemiological studies, in particular those that integrate several levels of evidence over a long period [20].
Adopting behaviors that improve well-being and quality of life include those that integrate mental health (mind) and physical health (body).
Surprisingly enough, of the translational medicine systems surveyed, all those that integrate solely private data share their data and knowledge among several participating institutions, whereas most of the systems integrating public data do not.
The most successful interventions are those that integrate well into the prescriber workflow and, as demonstrated in numerous quality improvement interventions, 20 43 44 should be coupled with ongoing education to re-emphasise the importance of VTE prophylaxis for hospitalised patients.
To consider this challenge it is important to identify those characteristics that integrate bioenergy supply chains and ascertain if they are distinct from those found in conventional energy models.
If we want a sustainable future, then cradle-to-cradle is the way to go: "My conviction is that those companies that integrate this into the centre of their strategies will be the winners.
