We apply the model to search for efficient land-use patterns that maximize biodiversity conservation objectives for given levels of economic returns, and vice versa.
Secondly, we aimed at revealing an optimal combination of management regimes that maximizes habitat availability for given levels of economic returns.
Scaling of the elastic results with regard to plate thickness shows that for given levels of overall stresses applied to the adherend plates, the stresses supported by the adhesive do not depend on plate thickness.
Under outdoor conditions, for given levels of oxygen supersaturation, the productivity decline was greater outdoors than indoors, suggesting that under intense outdoor illumination photooxidation contributed to loss of productivity in comparison with productivity loss due to oxygen inhibition alone.
Firms minimize input costs for given levels of output and fixed technology.
Second, we expected that BMI has a protective effect and that for given levels of WC increased BMI implies reduced health care costs (Hypothesis 2).
The study showed that WC for given levels of BMI predicts increased health costs, whereas BMI for given WC did not predict health costs except for a lower cost in non-obese women with normal WC.
The t-scores were higher for one type of institution and for high competence levels, but the slope of the curves was the same among stratified groups, for given levels of amount of clinical exposure.
Because glucose is diverted for milk production, reduced plasma glucose levels "unload" the β-cells such that β-cell function is preserved; insulin response for given levels of resistance is improved.
To calculate the AUC of the beta distribution for given levels of k and PVE, we discretized the beta distribution with parameters a = k(1/PVE-1) and b = (1-k)(1/PVE-1), which uniquely satisfy the constraints.
