Evaluating explicit hypotheses and their alternatives against all the data provides transparency about the basis for expert professional judgment and communicates how scientifically compelling alternative explanations, with different consequences for human risk potential, ought to be deemed.
The proposed procedure relies on the use of the so-called rational series expansion (RSE), recently derived by the authors for evaluating in approximate explicit form the inverse of a matrix with small rank-r modifications.
The approach provides a systematic, repeatable, transparent, spatially explicit framework for evaluating the long-term, landscape-scale cumulative effects of management alternatives.
The framework includes a non-stationary Poisson process of hurricane occurrence, a failure rate function of hurricane damage, and explicit formulas for evaluating the mean and variance of annual hurricane damage.
We specifically suggest that tenure-granting institutions develop explicit guidelines for evaluating collaboration (both in publications and in funding).
Work on response shift phenomena is still at an early stage, but there is ample evidence to encourage investigators to include explicit methods for evaluating and integrating response shift phenomena in the next generation of QOL studies.
WHO's proposed draft recommendations (October 7, 2005) represent a more rigourous evaluation of conflict of interest because it requires more complete disclosure, clearer standards for evaluating conflicts of interest, and explicit management strategies.
In the US, the Beers' criteria have become the most popular and accepted explicit tool used for evaluating PIM prescribing.
Approximate explicit equations have been proposed for evaluating the mass flux of reactant in the case of pseudo first-order kinetics and instantaneous reaction regimes.
These explicit solutions provide a convenient tool for evaluating the residual thermal stresses when designing bonded repairs.
