The phrase "a functional measure of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a method or metric that assesses the effectiveness or performance of something.
Example: "The study aims to establish a functional measure of student engagement in online learning environments."
Alternatives: "an effective gauge of" or "a practical assessment of".
These tolerance ranges were explored using an embryoid body (EB) formation assay as a functional measure of mESC maintenance.
Detailed health histories were obtained on both cases and controls that included a functional measure of co-morbidity (Barthel Index).
This means that the Wilson loop observables (WLOs) of the model considered can be obtained heuristically by integrating certain quantities against a functional measure of "Gaussian type".
At this point we induced LTP as a functional measure of the effect of running synaptic plasticity.
Interestingly, when comparing the migratory activity of cells treated with SFM or Ang II, we demonstrate that both direct treatment and a concentration gradient of Ang II significantly increased the chemokinetic migration of cells by ∼75% (Figure 3B) demonstrating a functional measure of myoblast activation.
It is a functional measure of lower body strength.
QST is a behavioural functional measure of somatosensory function, and none of the performed tests provides a direct evidence of structural changes in either the peripheral or the central nervous system [75], [76].
Using increased sodium ion influx as a specific functional measure of toxicity, the researchers found that effects of a mixture of commonly used pyrethroids were consistent with a dose-additive effect on mammalian neurons.
Viral neutralizing (VN) assays were also performed to provide a more functional measure of vaccine-induced immunity.
Because of the inherent limitations of these assays, vaccine developers increasingly rely on the MN as a more functional measure of immunogenicity [24], [25].
To provide a more functional measure of vaccine-induced immunity, 200 TCID50 per well of virus were incubated with two-fold-diluted mice sera at a starting dilution of 1 : 20.
