Specifically, quarter-power exponents in biology are the result of natural selection on vascular networks to minimize the scaling of internal transport times while maximizing the scaling of resource exchange surfaces (lung surface area, gut surface area etc).
Table 5 shows the results for a six-item version (for each stage) which maximized the scales' sensitivities while retaining high alpha-reliabilities and holding scale bias to a minimum.
To maximize the scale and reach of the health extension platform to improve IYCF, efforts should focus on ensuring that the volunteer corps is trained, adequately supported and supervised by the HEW, and in possession of the required materials for delivering BCC to the households in their catchment area.
Recognizing that completing a 70-item instrument was time-consuming and tedious for both students and preceptors, a subsequent phase of analysis tested whether a more streamlined instrument could be devised, and one which maximized the scales' differential abilities to discriminate between enhanced APPE and their traditional counterparts.
Furthermore, the single-stage model might choose an inappropriate pair of input vs. output for evaluation and assign an unreasonable score to the concerned DMU, since DEA selects the most favorable pair for the DMU in the sense of maximizing the ratio scale.
Maximizing the value of large-scale studies requires ready access by a wide community of investigators for research consistent with participants' consent.
To maximize the total scale value of subjective preference at each seat, various is pieces of acoustical equipment were designed.
Because Equation (3) maximizes the first-scale wavelet energy, many candidate blocks include high-frequency structural objects, such as the trees in the image center.
Detailed measurement and modeling of the performance of schedulers are critical for maximizing the performance of a large-scale computing system.
The alloy design problem becomes harder for multireactant systems and/or multiphase alloys, but the goal and general approach remain the same: developing a protective scale and maximizing the time until it breaks down by accounting for all contributing factors (thermodynamic, kinetic, mechanical, physical, metallurgical, etc).
