Finally, to demonstrate the efficiency of the method for multiphase transport in porous media, it is shown that it is sufficient to apply the iterative smoothing procedure for the improvement of the localization assumptions only infrequently, i.e. not every time step.
It is our assumption that improvement of the slow-wave sleep and REM is most probably explained by better patient comfort through better neuromechanical coupling.
Pricing a company share, for instance, involves several variables, but on plausible assumptions an improvement of just one percentage point in the expected growth of a company's earnings could easily justify a rise of 25% in its share price.When you buy an asset you are gambling on the future.
Calculation of sample size was based on the assumption that an improvement of 0.3 in CFR (i.e. approx. 15% of an expected mean CFR of 2) was regarded as clinically relevant.
Whether the RRS can generate major improvements in the outcome of critically ill patients over time is a matter of assumption.
Notwithstanding the EMI improvement under the assumption of time-varying EMI, there are two similar results with the fixed EMI assumption.
Estimates of lifetime QALYs are predicted based on assumptions of gradual improvement of quality of life up to 2 years from randomization [ 18- 22], and of predicted life expectancy based on age specific rates for the population of England and Wales.
Developing acceptable and efficacious decision-making approaches requires an improvement of uncertainty analysis techniques, concepts, and assumptions in pertinent research, with subsequent verification of LSM results (Ascough et al., 2008).
The impact of the "no improvement" assumption will diminish with longer follow-up as patients will show greater change in their EDSS scores and the effects of any minor misclassifications early in follow-up will be of less significance, but it will remain a source of some uncertainty in estimating cost effectiveness.
To assess the degree of Swarm data improvement under this assumption, we selected a subset of 70 events where the IMF was quasi-stable, and the Swarm satellite made a complete pass through the northern hemisphere convection pattern.
