A newer method of assessing sensory function quantitative sensory testing (QST) (Gruener and Dyck 1994)—has since been implemented, providing a reliable, scientifically based method of measuring temperature and pressure and of pain thresholds.
Simple ratios of the inlet and outlet herbicide concentrations as well as hydraulic load-based methods of measuring the wetland's removal efficiency resulted in a range of estimations 33 51% for diuron and 20 60% for simazine.
Nonetheless, the magnitude and scope of pre-culture antibiotic use, both in and outside health-care settings, merits further attention in Thailand and in similar settings where antibiotics are available without prescription and bacterial culture-based methods of measuring disease incidence are in place.
More sophisticated sequence-based methods of measuring antigenic distances for influenza viruses have been explored by He and Deem in a series of papers involving, for example, identification of clusters of 2009 H1N1 strains, connected according to time-ordered single amino acid mutations and minimal nucleotide mutations [ 38].
However, for subgroup analysis researchers would need much bigger samples of respondents, which raises questions about the feasibility of survey based methods in measuring these complicated constructs.
Talantov et al. [ 4] and Varadhachary et al. [ 5] presented an RT-PCR based method that measures the expression of ten signature genes.
Based on previous methods of measuring unrecognized HIV infection [ 5, 14, 19, 20], HIV positive status was assessed by confirmation of a lab test.
The assessment is based on two standard methods of measuring whole body vibration: the British standard BS 6841 and the new ISO/DIS standard 2631-5.
The role of the Consultant Radiologist has changed substantially in recent decades, yet manpower planning is often based on older inappropriate methods of measuring Radiologist workload.
