Determining discount rates for the evaluation of natural assets in land-use planning: An application of the Equivalency Principle
(Elsevier, 2019)One of the most pressing issues when making decisions over long-term environmental problems is deciding on an appropriate discount rate. This can be a highly technical discussion. While some argue in favour of market rates, ... -
Determining Flinders' bar correction by heeling the ship
(Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2013)The aim of this article is to provide the compass adjuster with an innovative method of determining thelength of Flinders’ bar while the ship’s latitude remains unaltered. In this way the definitive compass ad-justment may ... -
Determining freshwater lake communities’ vulnerability to snowstorms in the northwest territories
(Water (Switzerland), 2021-07-01)As the exposure to extreme snowstorms continues to change in response to a warming climate, this can lead to higher infrastructure damages, financial instability, accessibility restrictions, as well as safety and health ... -
Determining the binding kinetics and signalling effects of CB1 and CB2 receptor ligands; a closer look at residence time and functional selectivity
(2022-05-30)The CB1 and CB2 receptors are the main GPCRs of the endocannabinoid system, and regulate many important physiological processed as pain, inflammation, or behaviour. Increasing interest exist to develop new drugs targeting ... -
Determining the economic costs and benefits of conservation actions: A decision support framework
(Conservation Science and Practice, 2022)The need for conservation action to be cost-effective is widely accepted, resulting in increased interest and effort to assess effectiveness. Assessing the financial and economic costs of conservation is equally important ... -
Determining the likelihood of incidents caused by human error during dynamic positioning drilling operations
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-03-23)[EN] The probability of a human-caused incident occurring during dynamic positioning (DP) drilling operations is determined in this paper using binary logistic regression models built with data on 42 incidents that took ... -
Determining the thermal diffusivity and the principal directions on anisotropic moving samples with laser-spot thermography
(Elsevier, 2021-05-24)We propose a method to measure the thermal diffusivity of (an)isotropic samples moving at constant speed using laser-spot thermography with continuous illumination. The method does not require previous knowledge of the ... -
Determinism and the Method of Difference
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2011)The first part of this paper reveals a conflict between the core principles of deterministic causation and the standard method of difference, which is widely seen (and used) as a correct method of causally analyzing ... -
Deterministic Evolutionary Trajectories Influence Primary Tumor Growth: TRACERx Renal
(Cell Press, 2018-04-19)The evolutionary features of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have not been systematically studied to date. We analyzed 1,206 primary tumor regions from 101 patients recruited into the multi-center prospective study, ... -
