Unfortunately, there are too many confounding influences to make close quantitative predictions.
Obviously, this will have an important effect on the quantitative predictions, but it leaves the qualitative results substantially unaffected.
However, for quantitative predictions, the nature of the convection and the resulting heat flux must be known explicitly.
Only after treating all these effects, our model can be used for obtaining quantitative predictions.
Evidently it is unwise t o try t o make quantitative predictions based on the relative size of the various terms in the energy equation.
Finally, the framework allows for quantitative predictions to be directly encoded in the grammar via the unranking of constraints.
Results of laboratory experiments with aqueous solutions of sodium sulphate are in good agreement with our quantitative predictions.
Because many of these factors will differ between animals and human surrogates, functional substitution cannot provide precise quantitative predictions of any other species' capabilities.
To model the sintering process analytically so that quantitative predictions can be made, it is usual to divide the process into three distinct stages.
In the case of the more complex inversion systems discussed, quantitative predictions are even more difficult.
We shall present simple quantitative predictions of both oscillation frequency and regime of synchronization.
The value of any quantitative predictions based on this work thus remains to be established, but the qualitative picture is one in which the authors have some confidence.
We are encouraged by the target article's argument for the same hypothesis, but caution that more precise quantitative predictions will be necessary to advance the field.
