Strengths of the meta-analyses (U.S. EPA 2011d) include study identification based on a systematic and transparent review, evaluations of potential publication bias, examinations of the sensitivity of the overall effect to different inputs, and investigations of possible factors responsible for any statistical heterogeneity observed across studies.
An improvement of the PECH index through a more efficient use of inputs and the investigation of the possibility of one DMU to optimize its internal organization can reduce inefficiency.
As a key aspect, in addition to the definition of the optimum set of values for the input parameters, this methodology is extremely useful to gain knowledge on the cause/effect relationships between the input and output parameters under investigation.
The possible space of tribological investigations is described and the criteria for the choice of key input and output quantities for tribological investigations of sliding pairs incorporating a polymer material are given.
However, these previous applications all use of CGI imagery, which while sometimes impressively realistic, is always noticeably distinct from real-world visual input and is therefore suboptimal for investigations of altered visual phenomenology.
Scientific investigations, scientific input, and science operations constraints were tested in the context of an existing project and protocols for the field activities designed to help NASA achieve the Vision for Space Exploration.
This research work not only provides the optimum combustion system definition, but also the cause-effect relation between the inputs and outputs under investigation, identifying the most relevant parameters controlling the performance of a DME fueled engine.
However, in these models, sequence environment information is merely taken account of as model inputs and no detailed investigation into its effect on the prediction of cleavage site has been made.
While the aforementioned physiological and biomechanical investigations examine the impact of firefighters' protective system on their mobility and work efficiency providing quantitative evidence, investigation about firefighters' input and needs for protective systems is also an important element in improving the design of their protective system.
Ten calculated properties were input for investigation of the link between properties and structural features.
