A few years ago, nineteen biologists from around the world set out to give, in their words, a "first pass" estimate of the extinction risk posed by global warming.
In a 2009 paper, Kinney, Ebi, and coauthors published a "first pass" estimate that the United States will need to spend more than $200 million annually to address the health problems associated with climate change.
To assess the influence of baseline score on concordance between the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) and Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) estimates obtained on persons following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
The observation of rules or tsunami impact patterns can help provide first pass estimates of potential tsunami impacts for comparable locations where modelling is not possible as well as help further our understanding of tsunami behaviour.
Males had higher PASS estimates than females (p ≤ 0.04), OA patients had higher PASS estimates for HOOS QoL and EQ-5D Index than other patients (p ≤ 0.008), and patients over 70 years had lower PASS estimates than younger patients for HOOS Pain, HOOS-PS, and EQ-VAS (p ≤ 0.03) (Table 4).
Based on our statistical analyses, patients who do not benefit from THR cannot be identified by preoperative socio-demographic, medical, and health state characteristics.> PASS estimates based on the ROC curve method and the 75th centile method were very similar.
NOW BEFORE ALDERMEN Measure Has Passed Estimate Board -- Mayor Hylan Lukewarm, Although He Would Benefit.
And until more time passes, estimating the likelihood and magnitude of those benefits lies in the realm of politics, not economics.
We obtained spin period determination of the satellite AJISAI from SLR data only: 17246 pass-by-pass estimates from standard 1 15 Hz SLR data (14/Aug/1986 30/Dec/2008) and 1444 pass-by-pass estimates (9/Oct/2003 30/Dec/2008) from data of the first 2 kHz SLR system from Graz, Austria.
Paul Jacobson, ocean energy leader for EPRI, says these first-pass estimates are now being updated by a comprehensive national wave energy assessment that EPRI will complete next year, and a national tidal assessment underway at Georgia Tech.
A McKinsey study published in May — the same week the Employee Hours Tax passed — estimated that Seattle and King County, where the city is located, would need to spend at least $200 million more per year to solve its homelessness crisis.
