In the data that we have analyzed to date, we found that the V – W ratio, rVW, provides the most consistent results, perhaps because it does not require the choice of a root in the solution and all values remain real.
Much of the existing literature focuses exclusively on finding the Pareto front, but does not offer strategies for making a choice of a best solution from the rich set of options identified on the front.
The cases cover different steps of the policy process: (1) problem definition and selection of indicators, (2) the choice of a particular solution, and (3) the design of the chosen plan or programme, and illustrate the mechanisms underlying goal-displacements.
In this paper, the authors propose to use the functional reliability parameters as a criterion for consistent choice of a project solution on the basis of the forecast reliability parameters.
Three separate phases in ecological modelling are distinguished: (1) the model formulation i.e. the choice and implementation of the constitutive relations of the mathematical model, (2) the choice of a numerical solution scheme and (3) the model application i.e. a particular run or set of runs of the model.
Problem-related features as parity or the multiplication rows involved may even influence the choice of an appropriate solution strategy [ 15].
The choice of a gyro-free solution is motivated by the cost, the footprint, and the power consumption, which is one-order of magnitude larger compared to magnetometers and accelerometers.
With the aid of a piecewise homogeneous bar in tension, a portion of which degrades progressively till failure, it is shown that––under a suitable choice of a material constant the solution procedure exhibits no pathological features (numerical instability, mesh sensitivity) in every degraded bar condition, including the limit idealized stress-free condition of the failed bar.
The choice of a reliable placebo solution for comparison purposes in clinical trials should be adapted.
