Two complementary performance objectives exist.
Various optimization problems involving multiple objectives exist in real-world situations, such as the automated design of analog and mixed-signal circuits [1] and power system dispatch [2].
A number of policy objectives exist with regard to power market restructuring; the particular institutional context has a strong influence upon which policy objectives are chosen and how they are prioritized.
Shortfalls between simulated population size estimates at year 30 and proposed population objectives existed for each of the four priority bird species examined suggesting that expected future landscape condition will not support proposed population objectives for these species.
Our spatially explicit analysis indicates that real conflicts between these management objectives exist, but that locations where conflicts might inhibit active forest management represent less than 1/3 of the 811,000 ha study region.
However, research has shown that trade-offs between the two objectives exist in favour of cost-efficient emission reductions and that left to the market forces, the CDM does not significantly contribute to sustainable development.
Often, multiple relevant and related objectives exist, but it may not be possible or desirable to adequately address them all within a single study.
Certainly parents are inherently biased and may see improvement where no objective improvement exists; however, parents can report on objective milestones (e.g., getting out of bed, climbing stairs, improved appetite, etc).
