Instead we used deterministic sensitivity analyses to explore reducing the duration of harms from surgery, assumed as permanent in the base case, to five and 10 years (see appendix on bmj.com).
In a sensitivity analyses, we explored reducing exposure to 2- and 5-mile buffers around the maternal residence, as well as restricting the cohort to births occurring between 2000 and 2009 to exclude births before the expansion of NGD.
We explore reduced-precision optimisation for simulating chaotic systems, targeting atmospheric modelling, in which even minor changes in arithmetic behaviour will cause simulations to diverge quickly.
The deal under consideration is one of several options Time Warner is exploring to reduce its troubled publishing unit.
Nonetheless, changing the design of plastic bags represents a strategy not previously explored for reducing smothering suicides.
This includes exploring if reduced scales remain internally reliable, both in terms of reliability measures and content, and to examine if they stay sensitive enough to capture developments in a pre-post design.
An alternating gas/liquid fast-mode cyclic operation procedure was explored for reducing the occurrence of foaming flow regime in trickle-bed reactors at elevated temperature and moderate pressure.
One path to explore is reducing the hydrophobicity of lignin to permit greater penetration and hydrolysis of fiber by polysaccharidases.
An alternative, but less accepted method which has been explored for reducing dead space and the likelihood of seroma formation has been the use of progressive tension sutures (PTS) and quilting sutures [ 24, 34– 34].
Adding restraints derived from experimental data can, however, help to overcome this problem, while simultaneously biasing sampling toward relevant structures and restricting the conformational space that is explored, thereby reducing the simulation time and computational expense required for converged simulations.
