The relative error of the stress components σrr and σθθ between the methodologies was less than 3.8% within the range from the contact edge to 1 mm, and it increased gradually as the distance from the contact edge increased.
Eight methodologies were less clear about the consultative process (or method) of drawing normative conclusions - describing a non-specific 'thinking- through' (our term).
It is observed that the proposed methodology is less conservative than the traditional AWC schemes when applied to cascade control systems.
Since the 3D objects and tasks already have their names before importing to simulation applications, the matching rule creating time of linguistic-based methodology is less compared to that of code-based methodology.
The gradient-based methodology was less sensitive to reconstruction variability than the 40% isocontour method; Dice coefficients and concordance indices were superior to 0.8 for both PSF reconstruction methods.
Field work is reduced considerably with the remote sensing approach, but due to the larger errors at low ECe values, the methodology is less suitable for crop selection, and other practices that require accurate knowledge of salinity variation within a field, making it more useful for assessing trends in salinity across a regional scale.
This methodology is less laborious than cell-cultures techniques, and is not limited by the subjective and time-consuming nature of microscopy, necessary to calculate parasitism ratios.
This methodology is less laborious and more quantitative than cell-cultures techniques, removing the disadvantages of subjectivity and the time-consuming nature of microscopy when establishing parasitism ratios.
Although this qualitative methodology is particularly suitable for exploratory research, the downside is that quantitative verification of the results is required, the latter methodology being less dependent upon participants' introspective skills and allows statistical inference and thereby generalisation.
In situations when host shifts are likely to be common, as in our case [ 14], this methodology is less likely to find optimal solutions than when host shifts are rare [ 63].
