The classification is derived mainly from abiotic data and, in conjunction with new data on native vegetation cover, has allowed the first quantitative State-wide review of protected areas and future priorities at a scale approaching that of decisions about land use.
We hypothesized that nutritional programming is a variable quantitative state of gene expression, fixed by the state of energy balance in the neonate, that waxes and wanes in the adult animal in response to changes in energy balance.
We employed the phylogenetic likelihood-based approach Quantitative State Speciation and Extinction (QuaSSE) implemented in the R package 'diversitree' [ 68].
Second, quantitative stated-preference methods were used to focus more on the priorities for Asia and to compare the implied priorities based on the qualitative data.
In comparison to PBNs, dynamic Bayesian networks support the assignment of quantitative state values, making this modelling approach more flexible to handle various types of data.
Conjoint analysis, a quantitative stated-preference method, was then applied among Asian liver cancer experts (N = 20) who completed 12 choice tasks that divided these strategies into two mutually exclusive and exhaustive subsets.
We also sought to compare the implied priorities in the qualitative data (i.e. via semi-quantification using frequency analysis) to those found using a quantitative stated-preference methodology (conjoint analysis -with analysis -withocus on asia.
A new mudshore management tool, a top-down model, called S-factor analysis, is proposed and developed to a semi-quantitative state by way of a demonstration of its possibilities.
Furthermore several quantitative damage states have been suggested by various researchers based on the strain limit in the column section, crack width and repair cost (Hose et al. 2000; Karim and Yamazaki 2001; Kawashima 2000; Mander 1999).
Proposing quantitative limit states, analytical fragility curves are developed considering three engineering demand parameters (EDPs), including displacement ductility factor (µd), differential settlement between deck and behind land (DS) and normalized residual horizontal displacement (NRHD).
