Development of a relevant MCDA-method requires consideration of a number of key issues, e.g. (a) definition of assessment boundaries, (b) definition of performance scales, both temporal and spatial, (c) selection of relevant criteria (indicators) that facilitate a comprehensive sustainability assessment while avoiding double-counting of effects, and (d) handling of uncertainties.
Permissible assessment boundaries may therefore be difficult to determine at protocol writing stage.
Reliable assessment of boundary shear distribution in open channel is of vital importance in analyzing various critical engineering problems such as channel design, channel migration, energy loses, sedimentation etc.
Furthermore, in paper [ 5], a new method was proposed for the local assessment of boundary detection by a simulated search.
Furthermore, quantitative assessment of the boundary network topology shows that the special grain boundary fraction is a poor predictor of network topology, but that the higher-order correlation derived from triple junction distributions can successfully describe the length scales of random boundary clusters.
However, as no broad-scale assessment of rainforest boundary change had been undertaken, the rate and even direction of boundary change remained uncertain.
Quantitative assessment of the boundary impingement and attachment of the offset dense jet is thus of interest for the specific design objectives.
The continuous confrontation between social service organizations and third-party assessment organizations generates boundary disputes.
For all assessment, the system boundary only covered the "gate-to-gate" analysis of upstream PHA biosynthesis as the main objective of this work is to screen the suitable carbon source that satisfies both economic and environmental criteria.
In the life cycle assessment, the system boundaries include reforming and rendering along with the required transportation processes.
(Take just one example: Although antilock brake systems without electronic stability control decrease the risk of fatal collision for those outside the vehicle, they may increase that risk for those on the inside). Careful design therefore requires selection of system boundaries, assessment of risks and opportunities, and analysis of costs and benefits.
