The use of surface electrodes may comprise an alternative to direct stimulation of the nerve, considering that it involves lower risks and a simpler methodology of application, and can be used for a longer period, especially when combined with biphasic electric currents.
All variants have one thing in common: they require respondents to examine all alternatives comprising a choice scenario and to perform a dual choice by identifying not only the best but also the worst attribute, attribute level, or combination of multiple attribute levels [30, 31].
Small but efficient libraries comprise an attractive alternative.
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) which constitutes an autologous concentrate of thrombocytes in a small volume of plasma comprises an efficient alternative to growth factors.
In the opinion of the authors, the platelet gel as a reproducible, low-cost and minimally invasive technique comprises an efficient alternative to myocutaneous flaps.
In contrast, if dilution can be accurately accounted for, field-derived enrichment factors comprise a suitable alternative to laboratory-derived and redox-specific enrichment factors.
Land treatment systems comprise a possible alternative solution for wastewater management in cases where the construction of conventional (mechanical) wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are not afforded or other disposal option are not accessible.
Land treatment systems comprise a possible alternative solution for wastewater management in cases where the constructions of conventional wastewater treatment plants are not afforded or other disposal option are not accessible.
Lignocellulosic resources comprise a promising alternative to fossil fuels and, in the context of the global warming crisis, the need to find ways of converting these materials into usable forms of energy has become of paramount importance and may have strong socioeconomic implications, especially in developing tropical countries [ 2].
So too for the maximum posterior network — the single most probable network in a chain — unless its probability mass dominates a possibly multi-modal landscape, comprising a near-infinity of alternative models, its status as a representative estimator is questionable [50].
