Second, mortality can result from allocation of limited resources for reproduction.
Risk of selection bias resulting from inadequate allocation concealment was low in five of the nine studies [ 23, 27, 32- 34].
While we would expect an analysis that ignores our allocation method to be conservative and lose some power, developing specific mechanisms to account for the baseline covariate balancing (resulting from our allocation method) would be critical to "facilitate acceptance of trial results and minimize potential for controversial interpretations" [ 61].
Inconsistencies between need indicated by survey-based and mortality related indicators, at the least, call for further investigation of what exactly these indicators are measuring, and further efforts to validate the allocations resulting from complex resource allocation models.
We determined allocations resulting from selfish payoff maximization, allocations that maximize a utilitarian sum of payoffs including that of the allocator, allocations that maximize the number of treated patients, and Rawlsian allocations.
Describes the swans nesting habits, and a crisis in their population last winter resulting from a water allocation problem & cold weather.
We have shown that the implementation of the conventional per-subcarrier selection in such a system suffers from the problem of performance degradation due to the large power back-off (resulting from an unequal allocation of data subcarriers across antennas) as well as the noncausality associated with the selection criteria.
Figure 5 summarizes the expected change in behavioural outcome (min, max, mean) for each of the 4 groups resulting from the 11 allocations.
This may indicate that the quality of treatment provided by public clinics is low due to the unavailability of dental equipment and materials and an imbalance in numbers between service users and service providers resulting from unplanned services allocations.
The allocation resulting from Rawls' criterion differs strictly from a purely egalitarian allocation, which equalizes the allocated rations without incorporating the number of recipients and without taking into account the different productivities of the potential recipients.
DSA is proposed as a solution to the problem of 'artificial spectrum scarcity' that results from static allocation of available wireless spectrum using the command-and-control licensing approach[60].
