It has the special merit of approximating actual flows of investable funds and is therefore well suited to rate-of-return comparisons with alternative investment opportunities.
Comparisons with alternative material models, known as the Kelvin Voigt and frequency-independent or 'hysteric' material models, are made.
Application areas where the Hardware Composites can be involved are presented in Part II where comparisons with alternative technologies in the form of MINLP are included.
The shortcomings of previous work on multifunctional reactors, primarily the absence of technical and economic comparisons with alternative reactor designs, are discussed.
Optimal convergence theorems are stated and numerical experiments are shown on several test problems available in the literature together with comparisons with alternative methods.
In this chapter, we will make a critical appraisal of the overall potential of polymeric particles as vaccine delivery systems, and make comparisons with alternative approaches.
Comparisons with alternative non dual-use high tech are analysed by economic activities in terms of value-added and labour productivity.
Furthermore it provides details of SiGe device characteristics and limitations, theory and models, performance, sensitive parameters, design trade-offs, frequency response, noise properties, comparisons with alternative structures, and applications.
The proposed architecture and the training algorithm are described in detail and numerical performance comparisons with alternative linear and nonlinear modeling approaches, including time-delay neural networks and recursive multilayer perceptrons, are presented.
Although the improvements noted in walking distance, cardiac depression and physical health QOL are comparable to those observed in hospital-based CR, they cannot be unambiguously attributed to the intervention because, as a feasibility trial, no control group was required and therefore no comparisons with alternative interventions were possible.
