It can also be used to elucidate the biology and pathology of oral mucosa and as a model alternative to animals for safety testing of oral care products.
Consequently, there is a need for efficient comparison of model alternatives in order to find the most reduced version that is able to replicate experimental measurements.
We propose and evaluate new linear and nonlinear eyelid curvature models as alternatives to the conventionally used parabola.
The ultimate goal of the work is to model alternatives and provide metrics for choosing one alternative over another.
Our results indicate that this is an effective approach for comparing model alternatives and reducing models to the minimum complexity replicating measured data.
Our results indicate that the presented approach is effective for comparing model alternatives and reducing models to the minimum complexity replicating measured data.
The observed relationships between PM10 and respiratory postneonatal mortality and O3 and SIDS remain relatively robust to model alternatives.
The weakness in attempting to model alternative policy scenarios relates to the amount and quality of empiric data available and acceptance of the underlying assumptions.
Fathers who express high levels of nurturance and related qualities model an alternative to dominant ideals of masculinity, and similarly mothers who express autonomy and independence model an alternative to traditional femininities.
