Any small "upticks" or "downticks" in temperature that last less than several hundred years in our compilation of paleoclimate data are probably not robust, as stated in the paper.
As previously stated, in such cases the use of robust estimators (less sensitive to the effects of outliers) is undoubtedly a better option.
Thus, the system will evolve toward a steady state in as robust a manner as the underlying phase space permits, dissipating or accumulating excess mass from the external metabolite baths as necessary.
This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in robust design optimization – the search for designs and solutions which are immune with respect to production tolerances, parameter drifts during operation time, model sensitivities and others.
The Soil Association's recent strategy document, The Road to 2020, stated that organics must be "rooted in robust science and supported by an extensive evidence base".
The new administration is touting school voucher programs as if they will be helpful to those in the disability community, but we have seen the results in states with robust voucher programs in use and they aren't good.
In this paper, after reviewing the state-of-the-art methods in robust and reliability-based design optimization of problems undergoing fluid structure interaction phenomena, a computational framework is presented that integrates a high-fidelity aeroelastic model into reliability-based design optimization.
For example, perhaps we should be much less concerned about labor or environmental conditions in states with robust democracies, because if the vast majority of people in a political union have power, they are probably less likely to pass local laws that erode labor standards, permit human rights abuses, or tolerate lots of pollution.
But there would be a condition: Washington would recognize only those unions licensed in states with robust religious-conscience exceptions, which provide that religious organizations need not recognize same-sex unions against their will.
But Mr. Romney's campaign advisers have expressed confidence in robust operations in South Carolina and other states.
