Local Deployment

Based on its recent experience in facilitating the deployment of explosives-detection equipment at airports around the country, DHS s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has established relationships with local airport authorities and is the agency most knowledgeable about U.S.

Flexibility means the ability not only to change quickly but also to provide several variants at the same time. A bank may deploy the same basic business system globally but needs to be able to adapt it to many localized rules and practices. A software product vendor cannot impose the same solution on every customer nor develop a solution from scratch each time. Instead, software developers prefer to have a configurable family of products. 

An indication of the environmental effects of hydrogen deployment for each of six European countries (France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the UK) is given in Fig. 19.10, where the fine dust emissions are shown for the hydrogen high-penetration scenario. Similar trends are found for other pollutants. The data are normalised in respect to the baseline scenario and show a trend very similar for the analysed countries with a reduction of more than 70% in 2050. The results are an average per country. At a local level, higher reductions can also be achieved if nontechnical measures, such as limitation of city centre access for non-zero emission vehicles, are taken. 

A federated database system based on web technology has been designed, implemented and deployed in local, intranet and Internet environments. A number of constituent databases have been deployed that represent a wide variety of data models, for... 

Figure 3.17 Generic process reactor equipped with conventional sampling valves shown at typical deployment localizations e.g. at reactor inlet, outlet or at different reactor heights. TOS analysis again results in rejection of all sampling options shown here as no representativity with respect to the entire reactor volume can ever be achieved.

Like ANNs, SVMs can be useful in cases where the x-y relationships are highly nonlinear and poorly nnderstood. There are several optimization parameters that need to be optimized, including the severity of the cost penalty , the threshold fit error, and the nature of the nonlinear kernel. However, if one takes care to optimize these parameters by cross-validation (Section 12.4.3) or similar methods, the susceptibility to overfitting is not as great as for ANNs. Furthermore, the deployment of SVMs is relatively simpler than for other nonlinear modeling alternatives (such as local regression, ANNs, nonlinear variants of PLS) because the model can be expressed completely in terms of a relatively low number of support vectors. More details regarding SVMs can be obtained from several references [70-74]. 

This is a severe drawback when local contractors with such history are deployed on the project, e.g. due to local component requirements. 

Urban warfare. Sensor networks are deployed in buildings and open air urban areas. Snipers can be localized by comparing the samples from multiple acoustic sensors. 

Plugs of the foam may also be deployed in low-volume (63), high volume (61), or multiple air samplers (60). Foam preparation is similar to that of the XAD s, and its commercial availability through local sources is a distinct advantage.
