These uncertainties should not be used as a constraint to develop adaptation measures for water management (cf. Dessai et al., 2009; Hulme and Dessai, 2008b).
From the performance perspective, these preliminary runs show that the CCA architecture presents no constraints to developing high-performance scientific codes.
To estimate how increasing agricultural production can be conciliated with protection of natural resources at the national scale, we analyzed current land use in Suriname, and investigated opportunities for, and constraints to developing a sustainable agricultural sector.
Emergencies, instability and insecurity in half of the region's countries are major constraints to developing regular immunization activities.
However, there is an urgent need for research on all aspects of health system performance, from understanding the dimensions and nature of health system constraints, to developing innovative strategies for strengthening health systems, translating these into action on the ground and evaluating to assure continuous improvement, enhanced efficiency and effectiveness.
In this study, Duncan's cost model was modified by adding the statistical constraints to develop the design model of DS ¯¯¯X chart for the optimization of design parameters sample size, control limit coefficient, warning limit coefficient and sampling interval.
Thus we have used known practical constraints to develop a method for fat volume analysis based on an optimized image acquisition and image post processing pair.
When deducing the optimal mix design, we considered design variables, object functions, and constraint functions to develop the algorithm.
The purpose of this paper is to compare different sets of rectal dose-volume constraints and to develop input criteria for the intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) of prostate cancer.
This is the first time that China has set a numerical coal consumption cap as part of an energy development plan, and NRDC's coal consumption cap project is seeking to make the target even tighter, based on environmental, health and other constraints, and to develop the implementation measures needed to meet the coal cap target and ensure it represents a peak in coal consumption.
