In particular, we focus the analyses on the habitat availability metrics PC and IIC and on the network metric Betweenness Centrality.
This paper examines the relationship between the Daylight Availability (DAv) metric and annual energy consumption.
In contrast, regardless of the proposed future scenario, the housing development does not guarantee optimum resource availability, and metric values are lower than in historic landscapes.
For each path, we calculated habitat availability – an integrative metric that combines habitat amount and connectivity – for eight hypothetical species, and four complementary metrics for comparison (habitat amount and number, size and isolation of habitat patches).
The system performance metric "availability" is a central concept with respect to the concerns of a plant's operators and owners, yet it can be abstract enough to resist explanation at system levels.
The metrics selection process is further complicated due to the availability of various metrics for each quality attribute, and the constraints that impact metric selection (e.g., development phase, metric validity, and available tools).
Exergy or availability is an accurate metric related to quality of energy and it is used to determine sustainability of an energy system.
Undeniably, availability is an important metric.
Besides system availability, a customer affecting metric known as DPM (defects per million) is studied which accounts for various call processing phases and their interaction with recovery, after a component failure, besides retry attempts.
For instance, while availability is a quantitative metric, it is obviously more intuitive for the user to express her requirements by using expressions such as High or Medium, rather than specifying precise numerical thresholds.
This study proposes a new availability-based engineering resilience metric from the perspective of reliability engineering.
