We assume slow channel variations so that can be considered practically constant over consecutive blocks.
MT speed was set to 120 km/h in order to provide continuously changing MIMO channel but practically non-correlated fading between consecutive radio frames (channel coherence time is 2 ms, approximately).
Accrual was over a relatively long but contemporary time period, with prospective inclusion of all consecutive patients and practically no loss to follow-up.
Compared with that most surreal of scenes, the Mets' 7-2 opening-night victoverover the Atlanta Braves, winners of 12 consecutive division titles, was practically a given.
We then show how to choose parameters of the cost function to ensure that the resultant closed loop system be practically stable, provided the maximum number of consecutive packet dropouts is bounded.
He was present at no more than 6 consecutive editions of the Olympic Games, practically, at all summer Olympics of the last two decades.
This study evidences that although the track can practically lose its lateral stiffness as a consequence of the failure of 7 consecutive fasteners, the vehicle stability would not be necessarily compromised in the flawed zone.
Peter Scudamore, the eight-time champion rider, took part in 13 Nationals, also in consecutive years – from 1981 – but never won it, despite laying his hands on practically every other piece of booty available to a top jump jockey.
Given the complexity of the problem, breaking the optimisation process down into two consecutive steps is suggested here; first, a primary, or energy, optimisation, which is practically independent of the cost models, and then a main, or economic, optimisation.
In particular, if this set is quite thin with arbitrarily large gaps between consecutive entries, then one has some excuse for treating the dynamical system as practically non-sensitive!
