A study commissioned by the German Agricultural Industry Association IVAA) emphasises the "special role of plant protection for specific socially relevant objectives" and estimates the overall annual benefit of chemical plant protection for society at between one and four billion euros [65].
Mr. Lazio's campaign says that the analysis is not objective and estimates that his tax cuts would cost about $776 billion over 10 years, not the $1.1 trillion suggested by Mr. Mauro.
These two estimates of period, relied upon in conventional code-based seismic design approaches, are suggested without regard to lateral strength, stiffness, or mass, and thus are seen to be less precise than that determined based on seismic performance objectives and an estimate of the yield displacement.
Modeled estimates of disease burden are an invaluable metric for assessing progress toward achieving health objectives and for estimating the impact of various interventions; however, this approach faces limitations imposed by the quality, scope, age, and consistency of the underlying data.
The design example and method more generally demonstrates that the fundamental period of vibration is a consequence of the lateral strength (and stiffness) provided to satisfy the seismic performance objectives, and is estimated with poor fidelity by current code formulae for the so-termed "approximate period," Ta.
In the Methods section, we describe a powerful MM algorithm for optimizing the objective functions and estimating its parameters.
The other block adjusts the generation levels based on the optimization objective and the estimate of the load mismatch.
The accelerometer provides an objective and valid estimate of overall physical activity [ 6].
Alcohol sales data enable a more objective and accurate estimate of alcohol consumption [ 11].
A model incorporating six circulating biomarkers provides an objective and quantitative estimate of the 5-year risk of developing type 2 diabetes, performs better than single risk indicators and a noninvasive clinical model, and provides better stratification than fasting plasma glucose alone.
