With this validation and greater precision with sensors, ED environment was characterized in terms of (a) the degree of randomness or entropy in the environment, (b) the movement patterns of clinicians, (c) interactions with other clinicians and finally, (d) patterns of collaborative organization with team aggregation and dispersion.
In Norway, for example, the environment is characterized by year-to-year variation in environmental conditions that can potentially have a dramatic effect on the reindeer husbandry (Tveraa et al. 2007; Bjørklund 1990).
Modern manufacturing environment is characterized by frequent product design changes in order to satisfy evolving customer requirements.
These firms confront two significant challenges: first, their operating environment is characterized by rapid and continuous metamorphosis in products, markets and competitive environments; second, from an organizational perspective, there is a need to cope with rapid expansion in the size of the firm and its scope of operations.
The pre-eclamptic in utero environment is characterized by reduced uterine perfusion, hypoxia, raised anti-angiogenic factors and systemic oxidative stress, leading to maternal endothelial dysfunction.
The ocean environment is characterized by strong vertical and horizontal gradients in several abiotic factors, such as light, turbulence, concentrations of dissolved elements, oxygen, hydrostatic pressure and temperature, some of which show diurnal and seasonal fluctuations notably in light levels and temperature.
The dispersion state of graphite particles in aqueous environment was characterized by SEM Hitachi High-Techh, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan; S-4800).
The dispersion state of nanographite [20] in aqueous environment was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the lubrication performance of water-based cutting fluid with nanographite additive was tested by some tribological experiments.
Secondly, the FOG working in the harsh environment was characterized by the DAVAR.
The seismic environment was characterized throughout a uniform hazard spectrum obtained in a nearby rock outcrop.
