The real problem is of absorptive capacity, not external resources".Most contentiously, South Africa will not widely distribute anti-retroviral drugs until its concerns about long-term costs, dependence on foreign companies and safety are assuaged.
This paper discusses the costs dependence from such parameters in the case of an RO desalination system coupled to a combined cycle power plant supplying both electricity and heat.
By the input of three sets of data, the Fig. 10 intuitively demonstrates the relation between cost and dependence.
Finally, we analyzed the impacts of the established RES-based systems according to various criteria: the total required cost, the dependence on imported energy, CO2 emissions, and land use.
The difficulty of applying EKF in mechanical system damage identification and localisation lies in: the high computational cost, the dependence of estimation results on the initial estimation error covariance matrix Pex 0), the initial value of parameters to be estimated, and on the statistics of measurement noise Rex and process noise Qex.
However, irrigation should be limited for both cost and dependence of the plant community on the availability of water (Munshower 1994).
We considered three scenarios describing rich, neutral and poor environments (assigned as three values of the fitness cost of dependence, β=0.2, 0.5 and 0.8).
The first row in Figure 2 shows the outcomes from three scenarios characterised by different costs of dependence on the microenvironment with a baseline I phenotype cost set to γ=0.2.
Yet it proved a short-lived reprieve because Detroit's underlying problems — high costs and dependence on fuel-hungry models — were not addressed.
Mr. Reid said the bill was intended to create jobs, lower energy costs, reduce dependence on foreign oil and tighten regulation of offshore drilling.
