For general b, the optimal spread factor for the guideline design can be calculated from (6) to be the standard spread factor to the power of 1/ b for all dose response functions considered here, i.e., 3.01/ b for the log-logistic model, 2.01/ b for the log-normal function and 1.71/ b for the Weibull function.
For the log-normal function, the optimal spread is 2.0 with an efficiency of 76.3 % (132 observations), and for the Weibull function, it is 1.7 with an efficiency of 86.1 % (117 observations).
Understanding preferences for specialties by medical students and the factors driving choices assists policy makers in ensuring optimal spread of personnel across disciplines.
We reviewed the clinical anatomy of the anterior commissure and examined the effectiveness of a specialized spreader developed for optimal, efficient spreading of the thyroid cartilage in type II thyroplasty.
A parametric study was undertaken to determine: (i) suitable TE-modules for this application, (ii) the optimal spreading of the TE-heat pumps, and (iii) the composition of the double glazing unit.
In [15], the optimal spreading sequences for chip-synchronous CDMA are derived by minimizing the average bit error rate under the standard-Gaussian-approximation condition.
In [6 8], the optimal spreading sequences and capacity limits for synchronous CDMA have been studied with a discrete-time signal model.
Optimal spreading means spatial distribution, geometric form, topology, and geography.
Optimal spreading means geometry and geography.
Optimal spreading is achieved by properly sizing, shaping and positioning the components.
This includes hybrid cooling methods, where advanced coatings applied to heat exchange surfaces spread water efficiently for optimal cooling, and dry-cooling methods where air-flow is regulated to eliminate the need for water completely.
