Neither pressure, flow, volume nor time is set; all that is set is the proportion of effort provided by the ventilator to supplement the patient's effort.
This suggests that the task performance distribution requirements are similar across the strains and that observed differences are due to variation in the rate of task transition, rather than to changes in the order or proportion of effort associated with each task.
And that, I realize, reflects a shift in how I judge my career — in terms of a new metric for "success": not status or fortune, but rather what proportion of my efforts qualify as good work.
However, ERF accounts for only a small proportion of those efforts, making it unlikely that over-fitting has a large impact on these findings.
We use the contribution of diseases to the global disease burden measured in DALYs as an incomplete and controversial proxy for the proportion of R&D efforts which should ideally be directed toward specific diseases.
But these benefits will be largely illusory to the countries where production takes place if the result is that those countries where foodstuffs and raw materials are alternative crops divert an undue proportion of their efforts to producing these raw materials and cut back production of domestic foodstuffs.
Nonetheless, although significant amounts of information have been generated from Xf strains, a large proportion of these efforts has concentrated on the study of North American strains, limiting our understanding about the genomic composition of South American strains – which is particularly important for CVC-associated strains.
And if your organisation produces non-financial or integrated reports, try assessing what proportion of the effort covered qualifies as "Breakthrough", rather than "Change-as-Usual".
2b) Are there school-track-specific differences in the proportion of invested effort?
It is therefore important to take account of the proportion of reproductive effort involved in dispersal when estimating colonisation ability.
