It was shown that for the study areas we considered, these effects were not critical.
Because some seeds were present in trash pits and others were in living areas, we considered that those in the trash pits were charred.
Because it was not feasible to stop all enforcement in the control areas, we considered as a control the status-quo enforcement, and as a treatment the elevated enforcement of daily patrolling by the APD with the application of further measures upon detection of violation.
For features with the smallest P values, largest df values, and largest areas, we considered that a classifier would perform best when its Youden index was maximized.
In the area, we consider a single active Tx for a single channel, similar as in [1].
Considering these recent processes and the long history of landsliding in this area, we consider it highly probable that landslide 1 or 2 (Fig. 1) will undergo major movement in the next 50 years.
Unlike the studies in this area, we consider the "maximum duration" for the upper level of activities duration, whatever moving from normal time to compressed time caused more compressing cost, and whatever moving from normal time to presented upper bound of the time caused more saving of money.
The worst-case scenarios combine the general (permanent) regional conditions with the maximum possible earthquake magnitude (not exceeding the highest historical magnitude by more than 0.3 units) and very wet conditions (adapted to regional climatic context): for the Vrancea area we consider Mmax = 8 and CB = 2 and for the South Tien Shan Mmax = 7.8 and CB = 1.
However, given our experience with the patient population and GPs in our area, we consider that the chance that infants with severe disease would not visit their GP or be referred for admission is small.
For calculating the area, we consider the discretized finite set of vertices given in u and v. Due to its geometry, the discretized CC becomes a non-self-intersecting, closed polygon.
