He tried to sell us on the merits of his concept for a stand-up female urinal.
Results obtained for sequential sample introduction show satisfactory reproducibility, confirming that paper-based microfluidic FIA without conventional tubing, pumps and valves, exploring merits of LOP concept only, is possible.
In the previous SSP studies it has been shown that systems analyses and sensitivity studies are key to understanding the merits of different system concepts and technologies, particularly with respect to their impact on the mass and cost of space hardware and their ultimate economic impact on the cost of SSP-produced electricity.
In future work on virus evolution, we would do good to focus on the important questions, such as whether we can develop accurate, quantitative models of virus evolution, and to leave aside discussions about the relative merits of perfectly equivalent concepts.
The figure-of-merit (FOM) concept, used in performance analysis of computer network systems [5], defines a quantification of performance that is an aggregate of several CR metrics as opposed to only the fitness function used within the GA calculations.
For example, there is much debate and literature out there on the various merits of the biological species concept (reproductive isolation) vs. the phylogenetic species concept (monophyly: populations share common ancestor) vs. morphospecies concept (morphological distinctiveness).
There may even be hope around the corner for a litter-free Glastonbury as a number of festivals in the UK are starting to prove the merits of the cup deposit concept, which is already commonplace in bars and events in Germany.
With respect to the heat transfer performance and pressure drop required in the system, the "Figure of Merit" concept is introduced as a measure of the heat transferred per unit pumping power (see Equation 14 for details).
The safety and pharmacokinetic profile of OZ439 merits progression to phase 2a proof of concept studies in the target population of acute uncomplicated malaria.
In order to overcome such challenges and take advantage of the merits of recent systems analysis concepts, this paper explores a SPSA approach by integrating the current SPSA framework with a Bayesian network and Bayesian inference instead of utilizing the standard fault tree-based technique.
