V&V methods and procedures have fundamentally improved the credibility of simulations in several high-consequence fields, such as nuclear reactor safety, underground nuclear waste storage, and nuclear weapon safety.
Two major, and fundamentally dissimilar, methods to predict the distribution of PbB are currently in use: statistical analyses of epidemiologic data, and application of biokinetic models to environmental lead measurements to predict PbB.
The agency's critics say its scientific methods are fundamentally flawed and violate two federal laws -- the Food Quality Protection Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act -- that set strict standards and deadlines for reviewing the safety of hundreds of pesticides and other widely used chemicals.
Dr. Short, whose report was commissioned by Ecuador's government, concluded that findings by Chevron's scientists -- one of whom I know has been paid millions for his work over the years -- are based on "fundamentally flawed," "grossly exaggerated," and "fundamentally inappropriate" testing methods.
The two methods are fundamentally different, and thus difficult to compare.
Both the Bayesian and SSR methods differ fundamentally in their underlying approaches.
Each hybrid topology can be analyzed based on the graphical and mathematical method for fundamentally understanding and designing the hybrid system.
Such tests have recently been the focus of a vigorous debate in the literature regarding their assumptions and relative performance [ 42- 47], and whether such methods are fundamentally flawed [ 59].
The rigid FFT-based method (Kozakov et al., 2006) and the Monte Carlo approach in RosettaDock (Gray et al., 2003) yield similar results, in spite of the fact that two methods implement fundamentally different sampling and scoring schemes.
The perspective of the naturalistic philosopher may be broader, but her concerns and methods are not fundamentally different from those of the scientist.
