For various reasons, it is important to optimize processes so that a chosen quantity, known as the objective function (OF), is maximized or minimized.
We propose a goal-oriented mesh optimization algorithm which ends in an optimized mesh with respect to a chosen quantity of interest.
It is therefore methodologically illegitimate to allot the one-time CO2 emission from deforestation to any accidentally chosen quantity of a product (e.g. yearly beef production in South America).
Under Cournot competition the transport firms maximise their goal functions by choosing quantities.
When comparing the scores of authors with different publication structures, it becomes obvious that the score reacts stronger to changes in the weighting, the more an author chooses quantity over quality.
Each BeadChip was run with samples from two starting quantities of RNA (three samples from both chosen starting quantities), and each possible combination of the two starting quantities was run once and only once amongst the six BeadChips.
What Bell showed was that the statistical correlations between the measurement outcomes of suitably chosen different quantities on the two systems are inconsistent with an inequality derivable from Einstein's separability and locality assumptions — in effect from the assumption that the correlations have a common cause.
Diners chose small quantities, like tasting portions, of each dish.
Choose some quantities to record like the time you wake up or go to sleep, how much time you spend with digital media, how many text messages or e-mails you send and receive, how you spend time on Facebook or other interesting quantities.
Resource owners then learn the value of the shock, and the owners choose extraction quantities.
For example, among adults, while a reduced-pricing intervention resulted in improvements in nutritional quality of foods purchased by disadvantaged women (who chose greater quantities of less healthy foods at baseline compared with more advantaged women), overall improvements were significantly lower among disadvantaged women than more advantaged women [ 5].
