A serious drawback of the flux estimation method in current use is that it does not produce confidence limits for the estimated fluxes.
The past decade has seen a resurgence of interest, with a variety of different micromechanical methods in current use that probe cells' dynamic deformation in response to a time-varying force.
Net survival (survival if the cause of death under consideration was the only cause of death) is now recommended as a substitute for relative survival methods in current use, to evaluate population-based cancer survival [ 17, 18].
Several restriction criteria were used in the electronic search: (a) only articles published in Portuguese, English and Spanish were considered (only four papers were excluded due to this criterion); (b) only studies published between January 1995 and June 2008 were included, in order to focus on a description of the survey methods in current use; (c) only original papers were included.
The most important of these characteristics is the demonstration of long-term durability, as this is not currently addressed by the static and fatigue strength testing methods in current use.
The optimized system consumes less water and foaming agent, and achieves greater dust-suppression efficiency than methods in current use.
Most methods in current use are not accurate enough, but the newer length-based, habitus-modified (two-dimensional) systems have shown significantly higher accuracy.
Optical methods in current use include epifluorescence, confocal and multiphoton (MP) intravital microscopy (IVM) and fluorescence-mediated molecular tomography (FMT).
Validated semi-quantitative scoring methods in current use are reviewed, with recommendations for use in prognosis and response evaluation.
However, all the screening methods in current use have substantial limitations (Kuipers et al., 2013, Lieberman, 2014).
The major methods in current use for assessment salt intake are dietary recall and 24 h urine sodium excretion measurement.
