For example, in southeastern Yunnan Province, remote sensing NDVI was found to be a sensitive evaluation index of Anopheles density and malaria incidence rate by using grey correlation analysis [ 29].
Using a quartile analysis method that allows for a more sensitive evaluation of levels of these CD-related microbial antigens when compared with disease control cohorts, we detected an increased individual antibody response to I2 and ASCA, as well as a higher response to the combination of antibodies in patients compared with controls.
MRI offers a more sensitive evaluation of early disease involvement.
A more sensitive evaluation of impact was performed using specific validated quality scores.
Therefore, FDG-PET may offer a more sensitive evaluation of the response or progression of some pediatric solid malignancies than do conventional, anatomic imaging modalities.
The peGFPLucMut expression vector allows for a highly sensitive evaluation of the repair events, while giving the possibility to report the rescued luciferase activity to a percentage of transfected cells.
A range of biochemical bone markers are available that allow a specific and sensitive evaluation of the rate of bone formation and bone resorption of the skeleton; however, none of the currently known biomarkers are used in clinical practice, and more robust and sensitive biomarkers are needed to both monitor bone turnover and aid in managing patients with bone disease [ 14].
Provinciali et al. have shown that including HRQoL in their multidimensional assessment protocol provides a detailed and sensitive evaluation of patients' disability profile and perceived difficulties thereby allowing clinicians to develop a care program tailored to each individual's needs [ 16].
Recent advances in molecular biology have created a new array of methodologies for examining the population structure of microbial communities in natural environments.[73] Techniques such as gene probing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can provide a very specific and sensitive evaluation of similarities and differences in microbial communities.
For a model with fewer parameters and more sensitive evaluation of transition / transversion rate ratios, the HKY model (22), which incorporates nucleotide frequencies but only one rate parameter for all transversions and another rate parameter for all transitions, was also used.
