The methodology is applied for the disaggregation of generic vulnerability curves for the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico.
Here, the uniform splitting approach with a branching number of 3 in the first disaggregation step is applied.
The disaggregation procedure is applied to a 40-year long rain-depth dataset recorded at hourly resolution by using the IRP (Iterated Random Pulse) algorithm.
However, when seasonal models are used the preservation of annual characteristics and overyear scaling is a difficult task and is often ignored unless disaggregation techniques are applied, which, however, involve several difficulties (e.g. in parameter estimation) and inaccuracies.
The factors investigated included: culture ICD and duration, temperature, media pH, aspiration and dispensing flow rates, applied shear rate, trypsinization time, cell disaggregation conditions, relative centrifugal force, centrifugation time, and cell pellet resuspension rate.
Alternatively, the derivation of regional I/O tables from national statistics tends to compromise data quality such as the applied multipliers and reduces the level of sector disaggregation [24].
Another category of disaggregation methods involves proportional allocations that can be applied to either growth or yield.
A disaggregation technique proposed by Iyer and Grossmann (Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, 37, 474 481, 1998) is applied to the model that is composed of assignment and planning subproblems.
Then ET was estimated by the flux disaggregation procedure DisALEXI, driven by MODIS and Landsat LST retrievals, which has never been applied before in a mountain region.
Methods developed here can be applied to evaluating alternative spatial data structures or mapping strategies which either increase synchronization, supporting a lumping or aggregation approach, or decrease synchronization, indicating disaggregation or splitting into scale hierarchies.
