They include vulnerability, engineering resilience, and ecological resilience, as well as a modification of these measures introduced herein, which is equivalent to vulnerability multiplied by expected recovery time.
Reliability and validity of the scale have been demonstrated [ 52]. d) Work Stress Inventory (WSI): We will use a modification of this measure that is derived by averaging the frequency of 45 stressors, each scored 1 (never-not at all) to 5 (often-very well).
The serum TNF was measured by a modification of the standard L929 in vitro cytotoxicity assay using actinomycin D-treated target cells as previously described method [ 9].
We performed a correlation analysis between inter-spike distance and the timing between two sniff cycles, using a modification of the similarity measuring method (Lyttle & Fellous, 2011).
This paper develops the indeterminacy in "portfolio selection" putting together a modification of a device of measure theory used in our previous papers [Atti del XXI Convegno Annuale AMASES, 1997, pp. 635 647; Soft Computing in Financial Engineering, 1999, pp. 425 432] and Shannon's entropy of information.
This measure is a modification of the Phi Coefficient (a standard measure of association for 2 × 2 contingency tables), allowing it to be used in the comparison of variables of different numbers of categories (although it should only be done in relative, not absolute terms), and in the analysis of contingency tables larger than 2 × 2 (Siegel and Castellan 1988).
Quality assessment was completed by the two independent reviewers (SC, RG), using a modification of the CanChild Outcome Measures Rating Form and Guidelines [ 13, 14], an assessment scale that evaluates the psychometric properties and clinical utility of outcome measures (Appendix A).
We hypothesized that a modification of this method, by measuring end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), using higher airway pressures (which is commonly used in LRM) and measuring the volume difference between the limbs of the PV loop (hysteresis), might predict the effects of a subsequent LRM (evaluated by changes in EELV, oxygenation, compliance of the respiratory system (Crs) and CO2 elimination).
We measured the total concentrations of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, butyl (n- and iso-), and benzyl parabens with a modification of a method for measuring other environmental phenols in urine (Ye et al. 2005a) using online solid-phase extraction high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-HPLC-MS/MS) (Ye et al. 2006).
Beside the existing information theoretic distance measures, a modification of the Jensen-Rényi divergence is proposed.
