Virtually all teaching hospitals are subject to a host of economic constraints -- increasingly tight limits on Medicare spending, the policies of managed care companies, labor shortages and rising pharmaceutical and malpractice insurance costs.
In addition, new technologies, more complex procedures, and a host of external constraints have changed where and how we teach technical and procedural skills.
The importance of both pre-adaptation and post-emergence evolution may also explain the apparent paradox of constraints on host shifts, even to permissible hosts, despite the vast potential for rapid genetic change in RNA viruses.
An application's hosting requirements are specified by means of constraints.
Following a brief discussion on the fundamental limits in digital transmission, an array of inter-related, inter-dependent design objectives and a host of interacting and conflicting design constraints are identified.
As mentioned, there is a host of organizational, legal and professional constraints that play a role in this inadequacy.
This problem is exacerbated in complex-diverse-risk-prone coastal agro-ecosystems of the country covering approximately 10 Mha cultivated area, which is characterized by a host of bio-physical and socio-economic constraints coupled with diversity in livelihoods.
Their model's objectives were to minimize the total network cost, maximize the unit fill rate, and maximize the resource (facility) utilization subject to a host of capacity, demand, flow, and resource constraints.
To obtain the translational parallel mechanisms with constant and excellent motion/force transmission, a host of configurations are synthesized based on constraint screw theory when the criterion is met.
Pollinator host preference constraints permit reproduction on closely related Ficus species, but uncertainty of the frequency and duration of these associations requires better resolution.
