In the supply chain management and monitoring framework each supply chain process element is implemented as a discrete web service component.
It turns out that the evolution of the discrete component can be represented as a stochastic integral with respect to a Poisson random measure p ( d t, d z ), whose intensity is d t × m ( d z ), where m is the Lebesgue measure on ℝ.
Our goals were to validate the PR12 survey as a measure of placebo response and to analyze the placebo response as a discrete and measurable component of everyday office encounters with the otolaryngologist.
In this paper we consider the question of describing such mixtures as a collection of discrete components and a continuum distribution of species represented by a distribution function.
This gives the composition as a probability density function rather than as a series of discrete components, making it possible to simulate commercial petroleum fractions with only three distribution parameters rather than a large number of discrete components.
This allows continuous subsystems to be treated as ordinary discrete components within a discrete event system, without restrictions on the synchronization schedule.
Currently, the standard approach is to model wind velocities as discrete components of a multivariate stochastic vector process, characterized by a Cross-Spectral Density Matrix.
The layers form a total of 33 discrete components, such as heating coils, catalyst beds, "chambers, passageways, a diffuser section, a reformer section, and a combustion section," he says.
Developing the logic model suited the positivist perspective favouring a representation of the intervention as discrete components leading to predefined measurable outcomes.
Changes in birth weight and small for gestational age at the population level might be a longer term reflection of detrimental effects of active or passive smoking during pregnancy while preterm delivery might have a discrete trigger component, as suggested by studies on short term effects of air pollution and temperature.
Szemerédi's work, mainly in combinatorics (the study of arrangements of finite systems) and number theory, has shown that, as systems made up of discrete components get large ‑think about hyperlinked pages on the World Wide Web there is structure even when the system is utterly random.
