In the present study, a multi-criteria sizing function (MCSF) is proposed for designing the optimum size and operating strategy of the prime mover of a residential micro-combined cooling heating and power (CCHP) system.
A cost-reliability bi-criteria sizing problem is solved for two cases of a remote Canadian mine to demonstrate that intermittency in generation can influence technology choices, system configuration and system operation.
They asked a panel of ten plant breeders, seed brokers, food technicians, and other professionals to rate sixteen varieties according to seven criteria: size, flavor, texture, color, consistency, wholeness, and skin condition.
These 12 functions were selected by three criteria: size, recent growth and future growth potential.
We then applied these three criteria (size, spatial disposition and pattern non-reproducibility) to the description of the 97 embryos.
Apparently, morphological criteria (size, shape and border) work better in a restaging setting.
Tumours were classified by type, along with pathological staging criteria (size, nodal status, perineural and vascular invasion, and tumour differentiation).
The largest divergence of weights was recorded for the criteria "Size of population affected" (SD 1.0) and "Public health interest" (SD 1.0).
These differences could be due to the variation in search criteria, size of the database and bioinformatics software tools used in different studies for identification of microsatellites.
The highest scores were assigned to the criteria "Size of population affected by disease" (2.6 ± 0.5, on a scale of 0 to 3), "Disease severity" (1.9 ± 0.3) and "Impact on other spending" (1.8 ± 0.4).
Patients were considered unsuitable for resection of their liver metastases according to the following criteria: size larger than 5 cm, multinodular disease (>4), hilar location and presence of extrahepatic disease (except micronodular limited lung metastases).
