A validated biomechanical testing model with life-like simulated loading conditions has been previously used to compare the construct stability of different types of plate fixation techniques for distal femur osteotomies, one of which was the antecedent version of the MDF plate [[7],[8]].
Field emissions (growing and fallow seasons) were estimated with empirical data while other emissions were calculated using an engineering model coupled with life cycle inventory datasets and vehicle emission models.
The CHD Health Policy model was similarly calibrated using life years estimated from the model compared with life expectancy from 1980 national statistics [ 16].
Adding maternal age at delivery or breastfeeding to models with life-course smoking exposure attenuated the association to the null in participants with this phenotype.
The EMOD model of malaria transmission is a stochastic individual-based model with mosquito life cycle dynamics and species-specific feeding habits [ 19].
We investigated 11 questions regarding the correct classification rate of dyads to relatedness categories (relatedness category assignments; RCA) using an individual-based model with realistic life history parameters.
We graphically compared the estimated relative survival from the flexible parametric cure model with empirical life table estimates of relative survival using the Ederer II [ 18] method.
The hypothesized model with the life domains operating as mediators of the relationships between self-reported physical and mental health status and global QOL resulted in acceptable overall fit (WLSMV χ2 ranging from 2,083.22 to 2,010.02 for the 10 MI datasets (N = 6,932), RMSEA =.049, CFI =.951, residual correlations ranging from -.07 to.07) (see Figure 1).
In this study, green product designs and remanufacturing efforts are investigated when we develop an integrated production inventory model with short life-cycles.
Here, we propose an integrated approach combining an energy-economic model with a life-cycle assessment to analyze the impacts of energy policies on the dynamic changes in the various environmental impacts of a product system.
Huthmacher et al. integrated their model with several life-stage-specific gene expression profiles [ 40 42, 58, 59] to avoid, whenever possible, utilization of reactions that are likely to be inactive based on the abundance of the corresponding messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) [ 12].
