The decision was characterized by a top-down policy process with the FMOH overtly exercising its power to involve new actors and restrict the involvement of some traditional actors.
The implications of these design and operational decisions were characterized by leveraging a quantitative sustainable design (QSD) framework which integrated steady-state performance modeling across seasonal temperatures (using pilot-scale experimental data and the simulating software DESASS), life cycle cost (LCC) analysis, and life cycle assessment (LCA).
Counsellor, NGO, IDI HIV testing decisions were characterized by a disturbed assessment of benefits and barriers, and although informants were aware of the preventive and treatment benefits implied in testing, strong barriers held them back from being tested.
When, however, the environment of decision making is characterized by high complexity and dynamic feedback as is the case in project management (Pich et al. 2002)—intuitive judgments that are based on heuristics may lead to systematic biases (Kahneman and Tversky 1996).
The developed dynamic decision model is characterized by state variables, corresponding to the quantity of biomass in each bin per each day, and control variables determining the quantity of material that is collected in the area each day and the routes to be followed.
As we show, unequal-weighted multi-objective grey situation decision-making is characterized by easy calculations and good maneuverability when used in landfill site selection.
We argue that the inclusion of our proposed model into frameworks such as PrOACT-URL would be most useful when it is judged by decision makers that the decision to make is characterized by uncertain clinical evidence and/or uncertain patient preferences.
The following facts, political priorities, and developments are crucial for understanding and assessing transport policy decisions in Germany Germanyy is characterized by a high degree of motorization, also leading to a rather high political attention for transport policy decisions affecting car users.
