Hence, the positive effect of vertebral number on body size appears to be due to environmental sources of variation, which influence both traits in a correlated fashion.
It has been proposed that many recent changes in the phytoplankton could be related to climate variation, which influence directly and indirectly water temperature, salinity, and loading from the catchment in the Baltic Sea area [42], [45].
Some of the structural variation found might be causal for functional variation, which influences important agronomic traits of the potato such as tuber starch and sugar content.
This paper shows how price variations, which inevitably influence OPEX terms, play a crucial role on the optimal design of chemical plants.
Possible reasons for this discrepancy are actual heterogeneities in the H2O2/HO2 concentration distributions not predicted by the model, spatial temperature variations, which will influence the strength of the PFLIF signal, spatial variations in the laser profiles, not accounted for in the data processing, and photon noise.
In the last decade several genome wide and candidate gene association studies have been carried out and revealed a number of genes and genetic variations, which might influence the risk to the disease [ 2- 6].
Especially when dealing with results from different studies, it is important to examine the control-treatment differences, rather than the absolute lifespan variations, which are influenced by numerous other effects, such as temperature or food type.
For the steady-state examples, the spatial patterns of hot spot formation are governed by 1st (global) and 2nd (local) order variations in subsurface topography which influence hydrologic residence time in sediments of varying thickness and depth variable saturated hydraulic conductivity.
This suggests other residual factors such as lifestyle (higher body weight was observed among African Americans), comorbidity [ 14], genetics or variation in the delivery of treatment, which influence outcome beyond variation in tumour aggressiveness [ 29].
