Target reliability levels, which are chosen dependent on the consequences in case of structural collapse, are used in this paper to calibrate partial safety factors for structural details of wave energy converters (WECs).
The clinical relevance of staging on distant metastases is highly dependent on the consequences for the treatment plan.
The consequentialists on the other hand hold that 'the rightness or wrongness of an act is dependent on the consequences of the act' [14:19].
Dependent on the findings, consequences for education of general practitioners may be considered.
In a society dependent on software, the consequences of programming errors ("bugs") are becoming increasingly significant.
As in most cost utility analyses, the current model assumes that an individual's quality of life is dependent on the health outcome achieved as a consequence of each intervention rather than factors related to the healthcare process itself.
Further, using bilingual healthcare staff for interpreting could also be perceived as negative because the elderly person might feel dependent on the staff, with the consequence that they might be unwilling to disclose certain things, especially concerning complaints about the care received.
Determining the optimal cut point for clinical use of any score is highly dependent on the risks and consequences of false-positive and false-negative predictions.
However, fatty acid composition in ruminant animals, unlike in monogastrics, is much less dependent on the diet, as a consequence of dietary fatty acid metabolism (i.e., isomerisation, biohydrogenation) within the rumen [ 17].
Deduction and induction, then, come into play at the later stage of theory assessment: deduction helps to derive testable consequences from the explanatory hypotheses that abduction has helped us to conceive, and induction finally helps us to reach a verdict on the hypotheses, where the nature of the verdict is dependent on the number of testable consequences that have been verified.
