The phrase "assess distances between" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing the evaluation or measurement of spatial relationships between two or more points or objects.
Example: "In order to create an accurate map, we need to assess distances between the landmarks."
Alternatives: "measure distances between" or "evaluate distances between".
They consist of an external assessment looking for features associated with difficult intubation ('quick look') and evaluation of the '3-3-2' rule (assessment of maximum mouth opening by assessing distance between upper and lower incisors, hyoid-mental and thyroid to mouth distance which should be greater than 3,3 and 2 finger breaths respectively).
Therefore, to convert multivariate data to a network, it is necessary to use a metric or some kind of measure that can assess distance or similarity between two multivariate entities.
To assess the distances between transgenic lines and Col-3, we evaluated them in the context of natural variation (different accessions) or conventional breeding practices (RILs).
To measure the similarity between binding sequences of a pair of factors we assessed the distances between their PSSMs.
T2-weighted axial images should be preferentially acquired in high resolution and perpendicularly to the major axis of the tumour because this technique allows to better visualise the tumour and to correctly assess the distance between tumour and mesorectal fascia.
To accurately assess the distance between a pair of sequences, jMOTU uses the NW algorithm, which is guaranteed to find the best global alignment.
Whole genome comparisons were performed using the MUMi index [ 30] to assess pairwise distance between the draft genomes and available reference Xanthomonas genomes as shown in the phylogenetic tree and the distance matrix (Additional file 2: Fig. S2).
Phylogenetic methods typically depend either on the ability to assess evolutionary distance between sequences, e.g., based on computing percent identity, or to fit an evolutionary model to a sequence alignment [ 6].
