However, for several reasons, validity estimates for the K10, K6 and GHQ-12 observed in community samples, primary care and other populations may very well not be applicable in persons claiming disability after long-term sickness absence.
Table 2 describes the psychometric features of the 13 items included in the PAM13-I.> Percentage of missing values per item was low and it ranged between 0.8%% (items 1, 3, 5, 13) and 2.1 % (item 8), as well as percentage of "Not Applicable" (ranging between 0.4 % and 2.6 %).
Because well locations in a reservoir simulator are commonly treated as discrete variables (well gridblock indices), standard implementations of gradient-based optimization are not applicable for optimal well placement, so optimization is commonly done with a non-gradient-based method such as the genetic algorithm.
In this case the tailoring of the guideline would involve eliminating the items that are not applicable as well as making decisions as how specific items should be scored.
Rewarding good quality versus penalizing poor quality was discussed in the panel as well, but proved to be not applicable at this stage of the P4P program.
Details were also available regarding treatment aims (curative 41%, palliative 36.5%, remission 10%, as well as uncertain, missing or not applicable 12.5%).
It was also noted that the linear relative permeability curve is not applicable for well-connected fractured system.
Our interest lies especially in the construction of wavelet filters for which the usual spectral factorization approach (used for example to construct the well-known Daubechies filters) is not applicable.
The results suggest that the well-known Kozeny Carman equation is not applicable for fluid permeation through particle layers having wide powder size distributions or irregular shape.
According to them, "… because of the heterogeneity and extensive admixture of the present-day Brazilian population, extrapolation of data derived from well-defined ethnic groups is clearly not applicable to the majority of Brazilians" (p. 722).
