The phrase "alignment index and" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing a specific metric or measurement related to alignment, often in technical or analytical discussions.
Example: "The alignment index and its implications for project success were thoroughly analyzed in the report."
Alternatives: "alignment metric and" or "alignment measure and".
This study extends our previous work to 3D cellular environment to define and compute two novel metrics, namely Collagen Alignment Index and Cell Dissatisfaction Level.
We defined two precise metrics: Collagen Alignment Index and Cell Dissatisfaction Level, for quantitatively tracking type I collagen and fibrillogenesis remodeling by mesenchymal stem cells over time.
The first four steps are based on our previous work [28] and necessary for the computation of the Collagen Alignment Index and Cell Dissatisfaction Level.
By tuning alignment indexing and min-identity parameters, READSCAN's high-sensitive mode achieved higher sensitivity with a trade off in specificity and time (Fig. 2).
Additional studies will be required to establish the normal and abnormal ranges of patellar alignment indices and their longitudinal relation to patello-femoral OA.
This tool assembled the BAM (binary alignment map) and BAI (binary alignment index) files and aligned them to the rCRS using TMAP Smith Waterman alignment algorithm [22].
We introduce two such metrics: Collagen Alignment Index (CAI) and Cell Dissatisfaction Level (CDL).
Therefore clipping the histogram does not disturb the calculation of the Collagen Alignment Index (CAI) and is consistent with our previous analysis.
At this time, graphical displays of the TMAP alignment could only be visualized with separate tools for alignment and assembly viewing, such as the IGV package (Integrative Genomics Viewer [23]) which accepts BAM (binary alignment map), BAI (binary alignment index files) and other file formats.
In order to quantify the compatibility between the different cochleotopic maps we used an alignment index introduced by Sereno and Huang [3].
Under mechanical stretch the migration directionality index of SMCs is 46.3% more than those cells without external stretch; the dynamic direction of cell protrusion is aligned to that of the mechanical force; SMCs showed directional matrix remodeling and the alignment index calculated from the matrix in front of cell protrusions is about 3 fold of that adjacent to cell bodies.
