Proposed Methodology. Alabama Power proposes the following scope of work.
1. Finalize the Project lands map detailing the Project Boundary. In particular, finalize location of all lands owned by the USACE within the Project Boundary.
2. Research the Alabama State Site File and the National Register of Historic Places (NHRP) for recorded cultural resources sites within or in close proximity to the Project boundary. Additionally, a review will be conducted to evaluate the “Bear Meat Path” that has been raised in tribal consultation and its connection, if any, to the Project.
3. Research early soil maps and related supplements for the presence of historical structures.
4. Research all cultural resources surveys and associated reports addressing assessments which have been performed within or in close proximity to the Project Boundary.
5. Conduct a cultural resources survey of all Project lands. This survey shall include a determination of prior occupation and any associated archaeological significance, in terms of a site being potentially eligible for listing on the NRHP. All phases of the research shall be in compliance with existing guidelines set forth by the Alabama State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO).
6. Obtain an Archaeological Resource Protection Act (ARPA) permit for any cultural resources survey to be conducted on USACE lands within the Project Boundary prior to initiation of the survey.
1 Xxxx Lake is not within the Project Boundary and is managed by the USACE.
7. Prepare a report summarizing the findings of the research and the cultural resources survey.
8. Transmit report to AHC, USACE, and appropriate Native American Tribes.
9. Transmit report and agency/tribe correspondence to the Commission.
10. Request Commission staff comments on report and determine the necessity for a PA.
11. If required, a draft and final HPMP will be developed by Alabama Power, in consultation with the Cultural Resources stakeholders.
12. If required, a draft PA will be developed by Alabama Power and the Cultural Resources Work Group; the Commission staff will develop a final PA.
Proposed Methodology. Based on the principle of preservation of the concept of ‘agreed percentages’ and the need to exclude licensing and other directly funded elements of the service it is proposed that the methodology is as follows: Remove high level elements of the ‘management’ namely salaries of:
Proposed Methodology. At this moment, we are conducting a survey with this setup using stills of 3D people. This survey is currently being distributed to three countries. While data collection has not yet been finished, one of the possible issues we might face is that the results are not generalizable enough because when you approach a group, the formation of the group is going to change as soon as you approach. Therefore, the use of 3D pictures might not be a sufficient methodology to investigate cross-cultural robot spatial behavior. Based on this insight, we propose a combination of a lab- and video study to increase ecological validity while investigating the following questions:
1) “From which angle should a robot approach a small group of people?”
2) “Do people from different cultures have significant different preferences when a robot approaches a small group of people?”
Proposed Methodology. The County will provide the State with sufficient information regarding the development activities of the County’s LBRS subsystem to permit the evaluation of the proposed methodology and to ensure its applicability to the State’s LBRS. The State’s approval of the County methodology will be required prior to the execution of this MOA.
Proposed Methodology. The methodology outlined below reflects the thoughts to date of the CASE board. We anticipate that a central element of this work will be a quantitative survey, but tenderers are invited to suggest alternative approaches to the methodology set out below to meet the research objectives. We consider that the work will proceed in two stages: Stage 1 will involve a project development phase between December 2011 and February 2012. This will include considering the existing literature, other datasets and methodological papers to: Identify from the existing literature the full range of organisational characteristics that may influence outcomes for organisations in the cultural, heritage and sports sector that receive public funding and refine our understanding of what constitutes sustainability. Consider and assess the value of any already existing data that could be linked to research findings from this project to enhance its value and avoid duplication. Identify the organisations that will make up the sampling frame.7 We consider that recruiting the sample is a key task of this project. Therefore, tenderers are asked to describe in some detail the following: How you will identify, evaluate the quality of and, if necessary, combine sampling frames to provide an appropriate sample. How you will stratify the sample. We envisage that it will be stratified by geography, organisation size, function and principal funding source but would welcome further suggestions. We envisage that the sample design will also be informed by findings from the development phase allowing so that we capture the full range of different types of business models existing in out sectors. The relative merits and feasibility of a representative versus a purposive sample. The proposed sample size. We envisage that the sample will contain a very diverse range of organisations. We wish to be able to report findings for each of the organisation types set out in Annex 3. How you will identify and recruit an appropriate respondent (or respondents) within each organisation Develop a questionnaire that can be compared with other publicly available business surveys, but will also deliver data that goes beyond what is normally included in standard returns to ALBs and government departments (information on which will be provided). We envisage that this will include data on organisational factors (as set out in Annex 2), behaviours and views. Tenderers are asked to provide a view on appropriate length an...

Proposed Methodology. A set of key criteria is required for identification and characterisation of subsidence-related deposits: • Digital mapping of geological units (e.g. OneGeology-Europe) • Lithological description – to identify generic, potential, subsidence-related characteristics of deposits • Subsidence observation (generic > specific) • Subsidence susceptibility valuation – based on laboratory data and/or expert elicitation Depending on the datasets available, three methodologies are proposed to show how a spatial extent for subsidence-potential can be determined using digital geological data at different scales:
Option 1. All encompassing, basic, methodology using a pan-European dataset (e.g. OneGeology-Europe), which has lithology attributes for each rock unit and makes generic assumptions of key behaviours and susceptibilities (SubCoast is an example of this)
Option 2. A more refined methodology or output (refinement being defined as using either larger scale litho-stratigraphical data, at national or trans- scales (e.g. BGS GeoSure) or refining classification, modelling precision or uncertainty.
Option 3. A highly-detailed local scale methodology combining elements of options 1 and 2 (elements being either outputs and/or methods) with additional observational data (e.g. from PanGeo) to create multiscale thematic coverage. INFERRED 1
Proposed Methodology. A three and half year program will be implemented using with interventions allocated to the 2 intervention woredas and activities implemented at the kebele level. At the end of a 3 year implementation, the 2 woredas will be compared with each other and with the control site to test the effectiveness and impact of combined interventions in reducing stunting, in 7 CARE simply “defines women’s empowerment as the sum total of changes needed for a woman to realize her full human rights” 8 Measured using Project Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (Pro‐WEAI) particular, the effect of women’s empowerment in strengthening other proven approaches to reduce stunting. Evaluation will utilize a repeat cross-sectional pre/post design to compare project outcomes with baseline data. In addition, mid-term evaluation will be conducted to collect a qualitative and quantitative data to assess the effectiveness of project interventions and strategies in meeting project goal and outcomes. Interventions will take place in 2 woredas/ districts (Ebinat & Simada), whiles a third woreda (Tach Gayint) will provide a counterfactual for the study.
Proposed Methodology. Approach and Implementation Plan – this section should demonstrate the Proposer’s response to the Terms of Reference by identifying the specific components proposed, how the requirements shall be addressed, as specified, point by point; providing a detailed description of the essential performance characteristics proposed; identifying the works/portions of the work that will be subcontracted; and demonstrating how the proposed methodology meets or exceeds the specifications, while ensuring appropriateness of the approach to the local conditions and the rest of the project operating environment. This methodology must be laid out in an implementation timetable that is within the duration of the contract as specified in the Data Sheet (DS nos. 29 and 30). Proposers must be fully aware that the products or services that UNDP requires may be transferred, immediately or eventually, by UNDP to the Government partners, or to an entity nominated by the latter, in accordance with UNDP’s policies and procedures. All proposers are therefore required to submit the following in their proposals :
a) A statement of whether any import or export licences are required in respect of the goods to be purchased or services to be rendered, including any restrictions in the country of origin, use or dual use nature of the goods or services, including any disposition to end users; and
b) Confirmation that the Proposer has obtained license of this nature in the past, and have an expectation of obtaining all the necessary licenses, should their Proposal be rendered the most responsive.
Proposed Methodology. As discussed earlier, cloud computing environment is based on distributed architecture to provide the users with robust and scalable service. Using the dynamic design, the cloud environment is flexible enough to incorporate the changing user requirements from time to time. The fault- tolerant solutions discussed in the literature review addresses a specific kind of failure in a specific predefined way to make cloud environment more reliable. These methods they are very stringent in accommodating the varying or changing requirements of the cloud users. The above discussed solutions, treat the user workload in a static manner. The solutions they provide a varying degree of fault tolerance and performance from one user to another but they are not able to implement this approach dynamic within the cloud user workload. In the following sections we have discussed the design and implementation of the new proposed method which can provide a dynamic fault-tolerant solution to the different kind of jobs within the workload of one specific user. The various fault tolerance methods studied in this research are based on coarse granularity which makes these methods rigid and unable to support a flexible fault tolerance as per the user requirements. When we talk about cloud computing environment and the various users, who have hosted their business logic applications on Cloud environment, we cannot say that the requirements of every cloud user are same. The priority of these users may vary according to their business requirements. For example, the fault tolerance and reliability requirement of a banking application would be more as compared to an online shopping website. Cloud computing environment may be hosting all these kind of businesses and their corresponding applications. A very strict cloud fault tolerant job scheduling policy can no doubt prevent and recover from any failures but this will also lead to unnecessary overhead on the cloud resources, which will ultimately decrease the resource utilization. On the other hand, a passive fault tolerant scheduling policy will not be able to deal with the faults and failures since it will lead to increased number of job failures and delayed job execution. In this case, the service level agreement between the service provider and the service user will be violated. It effects the reputation of the cloud service provider in future and it also leads to financial penalties also. The motivation behind this research is to find ...
