Resolution of acute inflammation can be quantitated using defined resolution indices introduced by this laboratory.13, 14 These permit direct assessment of proresolving properties of endogenous mediators (Table 2 and Supplementary Table 2).
In dermatology, the assessment of disease severity is frequently condition-specific and uses defined, observable parameters [54], [55], [56], [57].
The first approach – which he says BNP Paribas uses – defines the value of a site in its current use as the starting point for the viability assessment, whether that be a lucrative residential block or a low-value field.
In recent years special attention has been given to exposure assessment, using advanced GIS techniques to define exposed populations (e.g., Elliott et al. 2001).
We define as instruments any reproducible assessment used in any types of setting.
The framing of competence as a binary "either-or" process may be shaped by the measurement tools and assessment methods used to define it.
Standard references of psychometric theory in the field of health-related assessment were used to define the psychometric properties that were collected [ 2, 17].
However, most of these clinical studies have recruited low numbers of patients, and the assessment criteria used to define response have been variable, making interpretation difficult to extrapolate to routine clinical practice.
In this context, particularly critical contaminations were assessed in an assessment matrix using samples with defined contaminations of release agents, hydraulic oil, corundum, and CFRP dust.
a Sensitivity was defined as the proportion of "true" positive self-assessment and the specificity as the "true" negative self-assessment, using the objective assessments based on GIS as gold standard.
These ratings considered allocation, blinding, outcome assessment, and follow-up, using methods defined by AHRQ [ 5].
