The improved performance measure is based on an increase in the lean-phase time before a regeneration phase would need to be triggered, with the increase on the order of 10 s for 288 and 375 °C operating temperatures.
The LEMPC algorithms proposed here utilize a shrinking prediction horizon with respect to fixed (but potentially large) operation period to ensure improved performance, measured by the desired economic cost, over conventional LMPC by solving auxiliary LMPC problems and incorporating appropriate constraints, based on the LMPC solution, in their formulations at various sampling times.
First, such measures rely on administrative data, so that documentation and coding can improve "performance measures" more readily than actually bona fide improvement in safety and reliability.
There is consistent evidence that dynamic stretching improves performance measures such as agility, speed and strength whereas static stretching may actually decrease performance [ 2, 4, 24, 47- 50].
Though the optimal pre-exercise routine is debated [ 1, 2], an active aerobic warm-up is commonly used as it has been shown to improve performance measures [ 3].
These results help explain why a high aerobic capacity can improve performance measures such as growth rate at high but not low levels of food availability.
Most of the previous studies looked at ICU and/or in-hospital mortality, which can be misleading because of hospital transfer and discharge practices geared toward improving performance measures (for example, in-hospital mortality rate) [ 21].
Stratifying the recommendations for screening so that only higher-risk women would be encouraged to screen earlier or more often would increase the prevalence and therefore improve performance measures [ 53, 54].
acutely and chronically increased plasma nitrite and improved performance on measures of motor and cognitive outcomes (all p<0.05 or better) in healthy MA/O adults (62 ± 7 years).
