Moreover, all methodology used in the paper is rather established, and it is unlikely that yet another illustration of its utility on the example of a particular family (no matter how important) would be of sufficiently broad interest.
The utility of the model is demonstrated via an example wherein design parameters are altered to maximize dynamic range.
However, our utility model is general enough to permit the replacement of these assigned utilities with values that better reflect the actual utility of the tasks, for example, by assigning utility based on perceptual values of video quality derived from human trials.

We demonstrate the utility of the method with the example of a medium-size network model for E. coli metabolism.
One way is building it into the utility function, so that the utility of (for example) a sure-thing $10 is higher than the utility of a 50% chance of $20. Another way counts them as the same, but adds in the negative utility of the anxiety of prior uncertainty.
To help illustrate the utility of OME, an example model design process is provided as an Appendix.
However, the utility of for example Proposition 3 is limited to JNCCs following the form of Equation (6) with a constant n u r = 2, which suggests that it is very hard to rigorously prove diversity claims in general.
Together with other studies demonstrating the utility of, for example, mtDNA markers in phylogeny and phylogeography [ 81, 82], our results suggest that single-gene phylogenies can indeed be informative and reliable, and even in the future may serve as useful tools for at least pilot phylogenetic reconstructions.
The present analysis may help inform the debates about the utility of screening; for example, it adds information about the likelihood and time course of progression from BeS to CBD.
