However, with an increasing number of objectives, calculating the volumes becomes intractable.
The IWC panel said Japan's revised programme, known as Newrep-A, did not contain enough information for experts to determine whether Japan needed to kill whales to fulfil two key objectives: calculating the size of populations necessary for a return to sustainable commercial hunting, and gaining a better understanding of the Antarctic marine ecosystem.
Through the definition of an aggregated objective function calculated using the AHP algorithm, a single-objective model is constructed that provides a unique Pareto solution of the original MOO model.
In addition, we develop an objective function that calculates the best partitioning for a specific configuration and gives the computing cost of each partition, allowing for a computing balance through a mapping policy.
Traditional model updating techniques optimize an objective function to calculate one single optimal model that behaves similarly to the real structure and represents the physical characteristics of the structure.
The second aspect involved an objective test to calculate the probability that two calibration curves were statistically different, enabling the use of a more quantitative approach to comparing regression coefficients than have been previously reported.
The longitudinal design allowed examination of the pattern of medication use over the study period, while the use of an objective method to calculate the cumulative sedative effect of multiple medications eliminated subjective bias.
Exemplarily sensitivities of the outer strike point temperature and a heat load objective are calculated for a WEST case.
As a secondary objective, we calculated the proportion of admissions for gastroenteritis and the proportion of admissions attributable to rotavirus infection among age eligible children with exact 95% confidence intervals.
For the quantification of perilipin expression (Fig. 6E and J), perilipin-positive areas in five different fields randomly chosen under the microscope using a 20 × objective were calculated by ImageJ software and the values were divided by the number of Hoechst-positive nuclei.
