All of the methods described below, including the study period, variable specifications and analytical procedures, are exact replications of those used in the original study, unless indicated otherwise.
Presenting the results in terms of absolute numbers in a small cohort is the most effective way to provide correct information on the benefits and harms of a procedure: numerical information is exact, straightforward (thereby reducing cognitive complexity), and extremely concrete (thus easy to imagine) [ 7, 8].
In this section, we have designed two solution methods, one of them is metaheuristic procedure based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) for small and large test problem, and the other is exact procedure based on the ɛ-Constraint Method.
A numerical example shows that the critical buckling force of a non-uniform structure calculated by the proposed method is almost the same as that determined by FEM, but the present method takes much less computational time than the FEM, illustrating the proposed procedure is an exact and efficient method.
The two-step inversion procedure of the X-ray transform is exact provided that the straight ray assumption is fulfilled and that the illumination light cones covers the whole sphere around the sample (2 π solid angle on the illumination side and 2 π on the detection side).
The calibration results arising from this procedure are their exact relative spatial position and orientation, and the distortion of the lens systems in the cameras and projector.
This procedure is also useful for exact measuring of fluid loss and blood loss, exact evaluation of the total water balance, and the saving cost of dressing sponges and costs of labor for dressing changes.
Information on the exact procedure is available from the Leasehold Advisory Service, but you basically get the ball rolling by serving what is called a section 42 notice on the freeholder.
The analysis procedure is based on the exact, small-strain, three-dimensional linear elasticity theory.
