All that matters, for determining whether an act is right, is the sum total of the welfare in the world that would be actual if that act is performed, and how that sum total differs from the totals in the worlds that would be actual if some alternative act is performed; it does not matter how good any particular individual's life is.
The LBO firms, in sum, differ radically from most public corporations; it is the installation of these changes that created the value associated with the "reprivatization". Had no such organizational changes been clear to the capital markets, the share prices of target corporations would not have risen as a consequence of takeover activity.
Keeping this question in mind, let us take a pragmatic approach and just check it by brute force using the direct computer simulations; the results are plotted in Fig. 4. In this way, we estimated the upper boundary N for the sum (3), when (N+1 -sum aN+1 -sum differ less thand say, 10−13; it turns out that N=41 for some value of t.
Our patient-specific "real world" data validate these model based assumptions, even though the exact monetary sums differ.
In addition, although all three transformation comparisons give similar results when one considers the percent of trees that differ, the summed differences for the comparison of the two 'standard' transformations (Isaac vs. IUCN, measured on the same 100-year interval) differ much more than do transformations that only involve time-window shifts.
Maeda also commented that he wanted to write Air to give players the chance to experience the entire story as a whole rather than just a sum of differing parts as typical bishōjo games do, including Kanon.
The continuous outcome of the MRC sum score differed by 10% or more between observers for 7 (23%) of the 30 patients.
Using the methodology described by Kleyweg et al. [ 6], we calculated the proportion of patients for whom the observers' sum scores differed by 10% or more (more than six points).
Total cost differs from sum of category costs because of rounding.
