predict

It is impossible to predict what will happen.

It is my job to predict the unthinkable.

And that’s partly because of the type of pollution affecting the Chesapeake which may not be what you might predict.

Plus, it's hard to predict if a good service recovery will overcome the negative effect of a service failure, and what about all those failures that never come to your attention?

Can we predict how any given customer will react to a given service failure?

You see, everything must be planned down to the last detail in order to predict the acoustic performance of a room.

And when we better understand pedodiversity, we will be better able to predict the impact of forest management on soil.

The beasts were more disciplined, so that it was easier for hunters to predict their habits, and capture animals at will.

One future possibility is that improved monitoring can help predict where and when bleaching will occur, which might potentially enable us to mitigate its effects.

Without more research, we can't predict if Assisted Migration will work for any given species.

Basically, it uses math to predict what an individual would do under certain circumstances.

Well, game theory creates mathematical models that analyze different conditions like this to predict outcomes.

Another flaw of the tiredness theory is that yawning does not raise alertness or physiological activity, as the theory would predict.

But…so they are trying to predict if the shows are gonna succeed or fail, right, based on students’ opinions?

So it seems that, when the, by looking at the length of the telomeres on specific Chromosomes, we can actually predict pretty much how long certain cells can successfully go on dividing.

This model can predict temperatures.

If you know a lot about a person’s character, it’s easy to predict how they’ll behave.

So I’ll predict that Uranium-Lead Dating is going to become an increasingly popular dating method.

In fact, back in the 1970s, a lot of theorists were predicting that, you know, the climate would start to cool and we’d slowly enter into the new Ice Age.

He proposed that they might be clouds in the atmosphere, the solar atmosphere, especially because they seemed to change shape and there was no predicting the changes, at least nothing Galileo could figure out.

Um, it isn’t really a scientific law, not in the sense of predicting gravitation mathematically or something, but it’s attempting a pattern in the spacing of the planets, and it was noticed by Bode hundreds of years ago.

Well, if the young Sun was more massive than today’s, it would have been hotter and brighter than the model predicts.

But they also predicted that there would be a problem that sound would be misused and, boy, was it ever.

He found that, over time, one species was consistently able to drive out the other, to eliminate it from the habitat, just as his hypothesis predicted.

Investigations of the plants found grasses, sedges, mosses, and many other varieties in a nearly continuous cover, as was predicted by Guthrie.

They predicted that the colonies of aggressive species would show regular distributions, while those of nonaggressive species would show random or closely grouped (clumped) distribution.

Intermediated fossil forms, predicted by gradualism, are typically lacking.

Additionally, the gears also moved to match the motions of the planet and predicted eclipses.

But how could the early Sun be brighter and hotter than predicted by the standard model?

Mendeleyev went further than Meyer in another respect: he predicted the properties of six elements yet to be discovered.

Mendeleyev designated this element "eka-aluminum" (eka is the Sanskrit word for   "next") and predicted its properties.

Though it may be difficult to imagine from a later perspective, a strain of critical opinion in the 1920s predicted that sound film would be a technical novelty that would soon fade from sight, just as had many previous attempts, dating well back before the First World War, to link images with recorded sound.

And when all the data were entered, an overall cooling trend was predicted by the model.
