Guided by these groups, illustrative property maps are constructed and used to make comparative assessments of a wide range of engineering materials.
Consequently they enable set-based concurrent engineering so that users can explore the space of generated design solutions and make comparative assessments of solutions and their performances.
The National Survey of Research Commercialisation, published in 2003, provided one of the first opportunities to make comparative assessments of commercial practice across the Australian university sector.
Specifically, the heterogeneity inherent in the studies included in the present review makes comparative assessment difficult, with only the quantitative studies using multivariable regression providing any formal analysis of independently associated factors (yet, even then, outcomes vary across studies).
Many studies were uncontrolled, making comparative assessments impossible.
Conversely, the opinion that outcome measures could support patients' understanding, facilitate discharge planning, communication and treatment management [ 32], and the opinion that they provide the ability to make comparative clinical assessments [ 21] were likely to increase their use.
Countless archaeologists make comparative work such as this possible.
The number and diversity of evaluation metrics (objective, result description and subjective) used to compare state-of-the-art key-frame extraction methods make their comparative assessment a difficult task.
A partial frontier analysis is performed in this paper to make a comparative assessment of the combinations of possible energy conservation objectives, new constraints and regulation strategies.
In pathogenicity studies and challenge experiments designed to make a comparative assessment of the competitiveness of the recombinants with the parent virus, the recombinants had reduced vigor and were less competitive and pathogenic than TMV, a virus which is already present in the areas where tobacco is grown.
