Due to the method's model-driven development, conceptual modelling is subdivided in an enterprise-modelling phase and a functionality-modelling phase.
Of which 10 rats died or unsuccessful models, and the rest 40 successful models were subdivided randomly into model group (n = 20) and treatment group (n = 20).
Models were subdivided into functional units: head, neck, trunk (sacrum and thorax), tail, upper arm, forearm, hand, thigh, shank and foot.
Therefore, because the model encompasses stream cells 1 16 of Marx Creek, the model's stream was subdivided into 16 zones.
Using the 90 m SRTM Digital Elevation Model (DEM), the watershed was subdivided into 21 sub catchments (S3 S23) in order to capture the spatial dynamics.
To analyze specifically the effects of residential distance from the AC plant on MM risk, we first defined a logistic regression model in which distance was subdivided in classes and included as a categorical variable.
However, to investigate the effect of genetic exchange between semi-isolated populations, we also considered an extended model in which the population was subdivided into 16 subpopulations of an equal size.
Therefore, to better simulate the valley's vertical groundwater flow component, the site's single hydraulic unit was subdivided into two model layers.
To prepare data for modeling the dataset of 805 chemicals was subdivided into training (644 chemicals) and test (161 chemicals) sets using the sub-sorting of chemicals according to functional groups and following procedure aimed to distinguish between connectivity aspects.
The genetic structure of each population was subdivided by using a model-based approach in the STRUCTURE software [ 54].
