Potential selection bias of this study was avoided through the random allocation of dogs to treatment groups.
ISO 14041 mention that allocation should be applied following these stepwise procedure[18, 19]: Step 1 Whenever possible, allocation should be avoided by dividing the unit process to be allocated into two or more subprocesses and collecting the input and output data related to these subprocesses or by expanding the product system to include the additional functions related to the coproducts.
However, unnecessary memory allocation should be avoided.
Other than these algorithms, algorithms in[4 7] are designed to maximize average received PSNR for unicast services, and therefore such inefficient resource allocation can be avoided.
Step 2 Where allocation cannot be avoided, the inputs and outputs of the system should be partitioned between its different products or functions in a way which reflects the underlying physical relationships between them.
However, the ecoinvent database is constructed based on the economic allocation, and therefore, using economic allocation could not be avoided for processes inserted from the database.
In [10], it is shown that the exposed node problem, when relying on distributed resource allocation, should not be avoided but that there is an optimal trade-off between the two problems.
The performance of the proposed BB approach was compared against that of a chunk allocation approach where interference is avoided through the use of cluster based static resource partitioning.
It may include sections on current financial holdings, investment philosophy, investment objectives and timeframes, asset classes to be used and those to be avoided, asset allocation targets and rebalancing ranges, and monitoring and control procedures.
Selection bias resulting from recruiting participants after cluster allocation has been revealed will be avoided by completing recruitment and screening assessment prior to randomisation.
