For the outer approximation solution, a data structure is used which permits all equations except for the property prediction expressions to be written in linear forms.
Airflow is the main source of positioning error in outdoor environments, so a strategy based on a differential emitter fixed at a known position is used, which permits to cancel out the effects of uniform air motion.
In PROMETHEE II, the net flow ϕ(a) (difference in leaving flows minus entering flows) is used, which permits a complete ranking of all alternatives (Gurumurthy and Kodali 2008).
Micro-costing method was used which permits use of detailed resource categories as well as utilization rates and unit prices for each health event.
For trajectory analysis the growth mixture model approach was used, which permits the identification of population subgroups following similar recovery trajectories and separates them from other subgroups.
To achieve maximal precision in aligning the head horizontally, an electronic leveling device (eLeVeLeR) was used which permits highly precise leveling (Wimmer et al. 2004).
For the determination of carbapenems, including meropenem, only first-derivative, first-derivative spectrum ratio and third-derivative UV spectroscopies were used, which permitted eliminating interferences originating from degradation products with an open β-lactam ring and dimers [20, 25, 26] formed in aqueous solutions.
Most tags were either V7-2L (20 mm×7 mm diameter, 1.6 g in air, 136 dB re 1 µPa at 1 m) or V9-6L (2.9 3.1, 2.9–3.1 g (depending upon year of manufacture), 142 dB) models, although for the larger hatchery-reared sockeye salmon smolts, occasionally larger tags were used, which permitted a longer battery life: V9-1L (24×9 mm; 3.6 g, 142 dB) or V9-2L (29×9 mm; 4.7 g, 142 dB) models.
As a negative control, a scrambled siRNA was used, which permitted NR2B activation following NRG1 treatment.
