This could lead scientists to underestimate the conservation value of primary forests compared to alternative land-uses [5], [11], [12].
Without removing any occasional species, 25% of the entire species pool (averaging across all 15 taxa) was unique to primary forest when compared to alternative land-uses, here represented by young (14 19 year old) secondary forests and 4 6 year old Eucalyptus plantations [5].
The proposed method is easy to implement and efficient in terms of CPU cost and memory management compared to alternative methods which can be used to deal with moving immersed porous media, e.g. re-meshing at each time step or use of a moving/chimera mesh.
The main feature of this method is related to decreasing the dimension of the matrix involved in the calculation, so that reduced computation time is required for evaluating natural frequencies compared to alternative methods which also make use of a continuous model of the beam.
Diagnostic performance of the curated library compared to alternative drug resistance mutation databases, using phenotype drug susceptibility data as the reference standard.
It is also not our intent to compare specific educational outcomes from using Second Life compared to alternative approaches or platforms.
Several performance measures of the proposed design are evaluated and compared to alternative designs through extensive simulation studies using a recently published trial as motivation.
But for sustainable industrial application of such technique it needs to be ensured first that the engineering properties of bricks as a building material are not diminished by addition of sludge, the process becomes energy efficient compared to alternatives and the use of such bricks do not pose any harmful environmental effects in the long run.
Most guidelines recommend measurements of venous plasma glucose, this requires that the necessary laboratory equipment to separate plasma is available at the health centres and trained staff available to perform the test; compared to the alternative use of capillary whole blood, which is typically measured with a glucometer.
In addition, we considered whether there is added value of using our BMRF function annotations for candidate gene prioritization compared to using alternative existing annotations.
