The Pareto front is developed using the Lexicographic Goal Programming (LGP) method, and the TOPSIS method is successively implemented to choose the k-out-of-n configuration that represents the best compromise between the considered objective functions.
Two payments for watershed services (PWS) programs for water quality improvement have been successively implemented in the Huai River catchment and its sub-watershed, the Shaying River catchment, in Henan Province since 2009.
Subsequently, it was successively implemented across the county and is now integrated into ordinary primary care routines.
We successively implemented the TI model with only one repressor miRNA (the MATLAB code can be downloaded through Additional file 2).
Since 2001, France, along with several other countries, has successively implemented three national plans against Alzheimer disease and related disorders (AD).
From 2000 to 2003, active screening and decontamination of ICU patients, hospital wide alcohol based hand rubs (ABHR) use, control of specific classes of antibiotics, compliance audits, and feed-backs to the care providers were successively implemented.
Herein, we used observational data from a two-phase intervention study in a pediatric ward, during which we successively implemented two contact-isolation strategies (single-room isolation and isolation ward with nurse cohorting), combined with active surveillance for ESBL-E carriage.
Results of this study show a good agreement between simulated and measured E fields at the measurement points; thus the simulated scenario has been used to identify worst-case conditions (the presence of metallic walls), which have been successively implemented in laboratory.
In recent years, field trials of non-pillar longwall mining using complete backfill have been implemented successively in the Chinese coal mining industry.
Tree topologies were evaluated from an initial neighbor joining tree (NJ), using a heuristic search approach that implemented successively branch-swapping methods: (i) tree bisection-reconnection (TBR) branch-swapping, (ii) subtree pruning-regrafting (SPR) and, (iii) nearest-neighbor interchange (NNI).
