Healing was quantitatively assessed by introducing two indicators (HRC and HRS) derived from damage characteristic functions.
Moreover, the performance of these coagulants to meet (WHO) turbidity standard was assessed by introducing a new evaluating criterion in terms of critical coagulation rate constant (kc).
The system compactness is assessed by introducing a detailed model of the shell and tube recuperator and including geometric quantities in the set of optimization variables.
Specific binding of the translated proteins to the labelled oligos was assessed by introducing unlabeled oligo in a 100-fold molar excess.
20 Tear flow can be assessed by introducing a dye or radioactive substance into the conjunctival sac and measuring the decay in concentration over a certain period.
Likewise, the 'on' and 'off' digital performance of the AND gate at steady state was qualitatively and quantitatively assessed by introducing inputs well above switch points under four different logic conditions (Fig. 2a and c).
Basal level and stability of the luminescence signal before wounding were then assessed by introducing the leaves in a luminometer where luminescence was immediately scored every 3 seconds for one minute.
Proportionality assumption (hazard function is proportional over time for the two strata for any given values of predictor variable) was assessed by introducing time-dependent covariates in the full model.
Association of Mtb with macrophages was further assessed by introducing macrophages infected with green fluorescent protein (GFP -expressing Mtb and subsequent immunofluorescence-based detection of the macrophaGFP -expressinges (Fig. 1D).
Such methods are also essential to estimate the impact of insecurity on health service delivery and to assess bias introduced by restricting sampling to secure facilities.
