As the restructuring included aspects of all processes at Level G of the MPS-SV model, we assert that implementing this model for software development requires only moderate effort, when compared for instance to the average duration of over 12 month for implementing MPS-SW maturity levels (Travassos and Kalinowski [2013]).
In these cases, one can merely assert that the model, with its assumptions, is "consistent with experimental observations".
14 The authors asserted that the model they published originally, which gave the most favourable result for screening, should be preferred, but did not explain why.
For example, the "Information, Motivation and Behavior (IMB) model" asserts that information is a prerequisite for changing behavior, but in itself is usually insufficient to achieve this change if the patient is not motivated to perform the behavior [ 26, 27].
Mr. Gates dismissed the Sun concept as nothing more than a "sales slogan" and went on to assert that the "PC model" with hardware and software made by separate companies was a superior business model.
The Rasch model is a probabilistic model that asserts that item response is a logistic function of item difficulty and person ability [ 23].
The current raft model asserts that raft-associated proteins, like actin, contribute to the formation of Lo nanodomains and to their clustering into large platforms (Douglass and Vale, 2005; Chichili and Rodgers, 2009).
The model asserts that lack of reciprocity (high effort in combination with low reward) occurs frequently in a globalized economy and generates strong negative emotions and psychobiological stress responses with adverse long-term effects on health [ 19].
Mr. Bo's supporters assert that the "Chongqing model" could serve as a blueprint for more equitable economic development in China.
