Gross-impact analysis

The model is conceived in such simplistic terms that it cannot, at best, be expected to provide much more than a gross approximation to what will happen [if wolves are reintroduced because] it misrepresents the predatory impact of wolves and their internal population dynamics. The sensitivity analysis is inadequate, considering that many of the... 

Fault seal probability analysis is a quantitative method that allows an assessment of the risk of a fault acting either as a barrier to hydrocarbon migration, or as a trapping element within a structure. Fault seal probability is a value ranging from one to zero where a value of one is the highest probability for sealing, and zero is the lowest. This value is derived from the equation that combines the main parameters involved in the formation of fault seal. These parameters, fault displacement, connectivity, and net to gross ratio, are related to the processes of cataclasis and cementation, juxtaposition, and shale smear. The parameters, their measurement and impact on fault seal, are discussed below. 

Calculations without and with NA couplings. They allow to evaluate the impact of these couplings, to rationalize the differences, and to assign the gross spectral features also in large molecules that prevent a detailed analysis.
