Laser et al. [ 30] developed process model for ethanol production from switchgrass using a base case scenario of dilute acid pretreatment using NREL [ 19] design and estimated capital investment of $1.2/L ethanol (603.8 $MM for 133.3 MM gal ethanol/year).
Keeping all variables constant except medium and using LB as a base scenario (100 medium cost [MC] units/mg pDNA), the optimised PDMR medium yielded pDNA at a cost of only 27 MC units/mg pDNA.
We examine the ability of our method to select appropriate tsunami scenarios by conducting synthetic tests using a scenario based on "pseudo-observations".
Specifically, the optimal Bayesian experimental design is mathematically posed as a three-stage stochastic program, which is then discretized using a scenario based approach.
This study employed the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and included personal normative beliefs, moral intensity, perceived threat of legal punishment to the main constructs of TPB namely attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control to predict the behavioral intention using a scenario based questionnaire.
We also demonstrate the operation of the implemented approach and evaluate its effectiveness using a real-world scenario, based on a taxi fleet management application.
To assess the potential impact of attrition (incomplete outcome data) on the estimates of the effect of the intervention, we performed a sensitivity analysis using a worst case scenario based on the method proposed in the Cochrane review of interventions to prevent falls.
We will use a scenario based on the absolute effects of LMWH versus no prophylaxis for prevention of recurrent VTE during nine months of pregnancy.
A reduction in the cost of solar panels from US$2,000/kW used in the base scenario to US$500/kW (assuming a drastic crash in the cost of solar panels based on the current decreasing market trend for solar panels) would make grid the least-cost option for about 66% of the population and off-grid the least-cost option for 34% of the population.
The following assumptions were used for the base scenario: 100% electrification rate by 2030, with 2013 being the base year; current pump price of diesel fuel per litre of US$0.96, 1,460-h operation of diesel mini-grid per year; average household demand of 330 kWh per year; a mean inter-household distance of 25 metres and a rural-urban population threshold of 20,000.
