The nutritional condition of all the children in the study was also assessed, in the form of their body-mass indices (BMI), a measure of how much fat their bodies contained.The result, published in the latest edition of Animal Behaviour, is that children who looked and smelled like their fathers did indeed enjoy more paternal care than those who did not.
The vermicompost was periodically assessed in the form of easily identifiable, separable, and quantifiable vermicast that was generated in each 20-days pulse (Abbasi et al. 2009, 2015).
The latter, as assessed in the form of lack of microglial activation, is particularly relevant given that (i) nigral tissue is highly vulnerable to inflammatory-mediated injury, and (ii) neuroinflammation is thought to contribute to pathogenetic process in PD and other neurodegenerative diseases [33], [34].
The activity of LOXL2 is routinely assessed in the form of H2O2 production [ 55].
The latter was assessed in the form of melphalan peak concentration and the area under the curve (AUC0-->60) of the melphalan concentration-time curve.
Many studies applying the TPB do not measure behaviour and if they do, it is often assessed in the form of participant self-report [ 38].
Once the researcher was familiar with the discourse, the textual data were assessed in the form of partial and/or full sentences, as well as lengthier discourse, for similarities among participants across experiences, attitudes and opinions as they related to pain.
The exclusion criteria are explicitly stated in both the invitation letter and the study brochure, and are assessed in the response form via self-report.
The selected items are indicated with an asterisk in Table 2. Next, to further assess validity in the form of the structure of the underlying constructs, the SEM analyses were repeated with the long version (see Table 3).
As a result, the process׳ operational performance is assessed dynamically in the form of quantitative risk (dollar) value.
