This paper proposes and implements a simulation based method to assess and improve alternative decision strategies.
The Federal Highway Administration provided the direct tension and block shear methods to assess tensile capacity for use in load rating, as well as a mechanics based method to assess shear capacity on critical planes.
(iv) A method to assess the significance of each detected individual is proposed—We proposed a simulation based method to assess the significance of detecting influential individuals, and confirmed that this method is approximately valid (i.e., controlling false positives) in the case of the single marker analysis.
In this work, we present a novel flow image-based method to assess the location and extent of intraventricular stasis regions inside the left ventricle (LV) by digital processing flow-velocity images obtained either by phase-contrast magnetic resonance (PCMR) or 2D color-Doppler velocimetry (echo-CDV).
In this study, we used a technique involving integrated climate elasticity and eight Budyko-based methods to assess the relative impacts of climate change and human activities on runoff changes during high-flow and low-flow seasons in 17 catchments across the Loess Plateau during the period of 1961 2013.
There is therefore a need for practical and valid questionnaire-based methods to assess competencies in patient-centeredness.
Some distribution-based methods to assess MIC have been more focussed on minimally detectable changes than on minimally important changes.
Molecular species delimitation usually uses tree-based methods to assess monophyly [ 1] or more recently have applied genealogical-based coalescent methods (e.g., [ 2- 5, 9, 11, 22- 24]).
Bereavement risk assessment in end-of-life care has been identified as a key indicator of quality practice [ 28]; however, at present, the majority of palliative care services do not use systematic, evidence-based methods to assess caregiver distress including bereavement risk [ 29].
