The study concludes that the new method is effective in understanding and assessing forest land fragmentation, especially in the context of rapid urbanization.
The results of this study would help in understanding the porosity and the permeability values in on-chip porous media that are miniaturized versions of oil reservoirs, which can be effective in understanding pore scale porosity permeability relationships.
Semi-structured interviews gather detailed information about each surgeon's beliefs and behaviors without preconceived factors; the method provides opportunities for identifying unanticipated outcomes and is effective in understanding attitudinal and behavioral nuances in the situated context [37].
Immunohistochemical probes add useful information to diagnostic processes and are effective in understanding specific aspects of the disease, e.g. loss of basement membrane.
The proposed theoretical models are effective in understanding and predicting the static and dynamic post-buckling response of beams constrained by movable and flexible confinements.
This technique has been effective in determining children's understanding of another knee outcome measure (Iversen et al. 2010).
The study's approach, which combines scenario-based urban simulation modeling and landscape metrics, is shown to be effective in representing, understanding, and predicting the spatial temporal dynamics and patterns of urban evolution, including urban expansion trends.
Although we had hoped for even higher gains in the understanding of evolution in Biological Inquiry over Zoology, the phylogenetic approach used in Zoology appears to have been effective in elevating students' perceptions of their understanding of the topic.
The findings of this pilot intervention, which aimed at testing the effectiveness of an intervention aimed at improving understanding of the three concepts (randomisation, double-blinding, placebo use) and their personal implications, suggest that the intervention was effective in improving understanding.
As TMS work shows influences of motor systems activation on lexical and phonological processing (Meister, Wilson, Deblieck, Wu, & Iacoboni, 2007; Pulvermüller, Hauk, Nikulin, & Ilmoniemi, 2005), it appears that, apart from perceptual "bottom up" activation, "top down" activation from the semantic and phonological action networks are effective in language understanding.
