To fill the gap between qualitative and quantitative assessment of resilience, we employed Bayesian network to quantify the system resilience.
The quantitative assessment of associations between proportional land cover and the incidence of malaria was done by Poisson regression analyses with adjustment for overdispersion (STATA/SE software, version 10; Stata Corp LP, College Station, TX).
Quantitative assessment of similarities between populations (using the Morisita-Horn similarity index) indicated that the nares, axilla and groin harbor distinct and temporally stable microbial communities (Figs. 2 and 3, Table 2).
Regardless of these possible confounders, a systematic, quantitative assessment of comorbidity between anxiety and cannabis use is needed because both conditions commonly occur in the general population, particularly during the most productive yet stressful life-phases (adolescent-middle age).
The method involves assigning a score between 0 and 10 based on quantitative assessment of the Gram-stain for three different bacterial morphotypes: (i) large Gram-positive rods (indicative of Lactobacillus spp), (ii) small Gram-negative or variable rods (indicative of Gardnerella, Bacteroides and other anaerobic bacteria), and (iii) curved, Gram-variable rods (indicative of Mobiluncus spp).
We made a quantitative assessment of the relationships between the various circulatory parameters, using the simple conventional measurement method of treating acceleration plethysmograms (the second derivatives of digital plethysmograms) as indicators of peripheral circulation kinetics.
We show that quantitative assessment of the interaction between an antimicrobial peptide and lipid modified sensors is capable to provide both sensing avenues and detailed mechanistic insights into effects of pore-forming compounds.
To provide a quantitative assessment of the association between red and processed meat intake and the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), we summarized the evidence from observational studies.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first quantitative assessment of the associations between obesity, pre-obesity or underweight, and migraine.
Quantitative assessment of the overlap between these proteoglycan associated clusters and subregions within the neostriatum agreed with our qualitative observations.
