Next, the problem was solved by trading off between two contrasting objective functions, i.e., operating and emission cost functions, for simultaneous minimization.
In the HT scenario, APs in MU-MIMO WLANs are entitled to serve heterogeneous antenna clients with two contrasting objectives: (a) fairness in client access among (heterogeneous) desired clients and (b) maximize the network throughput.
Socio-economic interests and environment preservation are typically contrasting objectives between which a suitable trade-off must be achieved.
More in detail, a multi-objective optimization is performed by considering two contrasting objectives to be minimized: primary energy demand and investment cost.
The new technique was applied to two experimental sites with contrasting objectives, geological and hydrogeological conditions, and field equipment facilities.
Maintaining habitat for fauna of both sufficient extent and connectivity while fragmenting areas of high fuel loads presents land managers with seemingly contrasting objectives.
Heterogeneous stakeholders living in cities, in fact, interact, both competing and cooperating, and, often, are characterised by contrasting objectives.
The state of play speaks to the contrasting objectives of the rebels competing to control Syria, the volatile interests of the outside powers whose support they seek, the ferocity with which a long-time dictator clings to power, and the combustible mix of civil war fused with Islamist vision.
Observations were made using an inverted microscope (Axio Observer 200; Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Oberkochen, Germany) equipped with a phase contrast objective (Plan-Neofluar 100×/1.30 Oil Ph3; Carl Zeiss Microscopy) and a Burle TC65 camera (Burle).
These cells were visualized at 40× magnification using a Nikon Eclipse TE300 model microscope using a phase contrast objective.
Along the various treatment paradigms, cells maintained in 6-well plates where observed and photographed using a Zeiss Axiovert M200 inverted microscope with a phase contrast objective (Carl Zeiss, Thornwood, NY).
