The compounds were docked into 5-LO Xactive site and the binding characteristics were quantified using LUDI.
Habitat structure, agricultural practices and landscape characteristics were quantified for each habitat.
Soil morphological characteristics were quantified as a profile development index (PDI) to determine the degree of soil development.
In cases for which the client's address was available, geographic coordinates were assigned and landscape characteristics were quantified within a 100-m radius of each cytauxzoonosis case location.
A novel catchment characterisation system was developed, in which broad-scale landscape characteristics were quantified using existing datasets, types of sediment supply feature were identified in a field survey and their distribution across the catchment was quantified using a survey of air photographs.
Soil organic matter (SOM) fractions, particulate organic matter (POM), POM-carbon, POM-nitrogen, soil nutrient status and underlying soil characteristics were quantified on the 14th year of a gliricidia/maize intercrop establish in 1991 on a Ferric Lixisol in southern Malawi.
Cohort characteristics were quantified and compared using Student's t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test for all quantitative measures depending on the normality of the data.
Two characteristics were quantified by two raters: which newspaper titles carried each target front-page story (interrater agreement, >96%; kappa, >0.92) and the news sources of each target story (interrater agreement, >94%; kappa, >0.91).
TGFα-stimulated keratinocytes were treated with DMSO or 1 μM SB203580 (p38 inhibitor), and ERK oscillation characteristics were quantified.
Pain characteristics were quantified using the McGill Pain Questionnaire MPQQ) and the University of California and San Francisco (UCSF) Pain Service questionnaire (Melzack, 1983; Fields, 1987).
All psychosocial and health status characteristics were quantified using standardized instruments, as previously described for the PREMIER study [ 14].
