It has been demonstrated that neural networks are a competitive substitute to conventional models for modeling nonlinear systems.
In vivo, our best engineered KPI variant (incorporating the transglutaminase substrate) extended fibrin matrix longevity by 50%, at a dose at which aprotinin did not show efficacy, thus qualifying it as a competitive substitute of aprotinin in fibrin sealants.
Generally the following formula can be used to estimate the cost of algal oil where it can be a competitive substitute for petroleum diesel [ 16]: (1) C algal oil = 25.9 × 10 − 3 C petroleum, where Calgal oil is the microalgae oil price in dollars per gallon and Cpetroleum is the crude oil price in dollars per barrel.
The material in this paper can be useful information to many other countries, including developing countries because of a common factor: the difficulty of finding sustainable, low-carbon, cost-competitive substitutes for petroleum fuels.
It concluded: "In the 100-year plus history of the electric utility industry, there has never before been a truly cost-competitive substitute available for grid power.
They are considered to be quite competitive with aluminum substitutes for two reasons: they are relatively inexpensive (steel sells for one-half the price of aluminum on a per-unit-weight basis); and very little change in fabrication and processing procedures is needed in switching from carbon steel to HSLA steel, whereas major changes are usually required in switching to aluminum.
Plastic materials have become versatile, competitive and reliable substitutes for traditionally used metal, leather and wood materials in the past 5 decades because of their toughness, flexibility and physical properties (Sivan 2011; Singh and Sharma 2008).
What happened is this: Quinnipiac University, an institution in Hamden, Connecticut, with nearly 8,000 students in 52 undergraduate and 20 graduate academic programs, announced that it was dropping its women's volleyball team and substituting competitive cheerleading instead.
Reliable and selective removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an essential part of the biogas upgrading procedure in order to obtain a marketable and competitive natural gas substitute for flexible utilization.
When the teamsheets were released, Wenger's selection showed Rosický and Giroud would start the match as substitutes and competitive debuts were given to Mathieu Debuchy, Calum Chambers and Alexis Sánchez.
