While the concentrations of active ingredients do not match the label concentrations perfectly, the concentrations are generally close enough that there should be little biological difference from the listed concentration.
Comparison between predicted and field measured responses shows that the measured accelerations of the four floors are generally close to or slightly higher than the predicted values for the 75percentt confidence level, but are all lower than the predicted values for the 95percentt confidence level.

Furthermore, our results differ from the studies of Lee and Reinisch (2006) and Lee et al. (2008) at the equatorial latitude station in Peru, namely Jicamarca, in that both the URSI and CCIR options of the IRI-2007 model are generally close to the observed values, but our results show that both models underestimate observed values during the midnight and pre-sunrise hours, especially in 2005.
