If extended life span comes with prolonged frailty, or if enhanced altruism compromises survival skills, the overall value of the enhancement can be called into question (Shickle 2000).
We assess the quantitative measurement of contrast agent enhancement as the difference between the baseline brightness before contrast agent injection and the value of maximum enhancement.
The maximal value of observed enhancement was 271% (September 19 , 2009.
All date points are normalized to the corresponding value of SERS enhancement of CW50.
The highest value of rate enhancement ratio was approximately 3.2, at T = 823 K.
A maximum value of thermal enhancement factor has been found to be 1.65 for the range of parameters investigated.
Moreover, we are not aware of any studies evaluating the additive value of contrast enhancement to other sequences.
It was found that in general annular structures should be expected to have deff values somewhat larger than the subelement diameter; the value of this enhancement is reported.
Reliability engineering, beginning in the design phase, seeks to select the design compromise that balances the cost of failure reduction against the value of the enhancement.
