"By "consistency"we mean that the storylines do not contain elements that are contradictory to current knowledge".. "Both scenario types can be combined to develop internally consistent storylines assessed through quantification." "The development of scenario storylines facilitates internal consistency of different assumptions".
In the context of engineering systems, an essential step in uncertainty quantification is the development of accurate and efficient representation of the random input parameters.
Using text mining techniques on selected word categories in such repositories, complemented by a dimensional reduction method, generic product aspects are identified, allowing systematic quantification of the development state of product categories.
A primary output of the approach is the quantification of development interdependencies and the identification of critical systems with respect to propagating effect levels.
The need for identification or quantification of proteins triggered the development of respective detection units.
The availability of data for Bucharest shaped the selection of methods for the quantification of vulnerability, and the development of new procedures.
The main challenges of optical imaging are depth penetration and signal quantification, as well as the development, validation, and approval of relevant optical imaging agents for human use.
However, limitations in reproducibility and quantification have led to the development of the powerful two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) [ 36, 37].
This recent approach to nucleic acid quantification is suited to the development of target gene assays, having a high degree of inter-laboratory standardisation and yielding statistical confidence values (Bièche et al, 1999b).
This method clearly will assist in the quantification and development of mechanistic models of cell-to-cell variation during viral infections.
This calls for the development and quantification of effective mitigation strategies.
