Numerous evaluation models and frameworks are useful in guiding the design of risk-minimization program implementation, dissemination, and evaluation [ 10, 15, 16].
In addition to maximizing the client's satisfaction, another relevant aspect to the project is to consider the minimization of the implementation risk of each requirement.
Regulatory guidances set forth recommendations for risk-minimization program planning, implementation, and evaluation [ 1– 5].
The proposed methodology applies the integrated analytical hierarchy process (AHP) methodology to the selection of the best hybrid renewable energy system using the concept of net energy and is divided in two phases: a classic optimization process using levelized costs minimization and an AHP implementation for decision making problems.
Therefore, in a practical implementation, the minimization of (23) does not require a long search over a large set of values; it simply corresponds to a look-up table.
The dividend proposed for such an intensive and challenging approach (multidisciplinarity) is user-readiness and minimization of obstacles to implementation.
Point mutations were introduced in Swiss-PdbViewer (47) followed by energy minimization with the GROMOS96 implementation (48).
In keeping with the principles of trialability, reinvention, observability, and risk minimization, we envisioned program implementation as being consistent with continuous quality improvement methodology, specifically including several concepts described by Locock: "Continuous incremental improvement of current processes--repeated testing and evaluation of small scale changes.
To fit the displacement data from the time-lapse videos to the viscoelastic model, we used Matlab 7.8's (The MathWorks, Inc) implementation of constrained minimization to minimize the sum of squared residuals between the viscoelastic model and the displacement data.
Although construction waste management has been implemented at different levels, there are limited studies on the role of design professionals particularly the implementation of waste minimization by design.
