Alternatively, various types of neuroimaging have shown promising capacities for measuring the early onset of Alzheimer's disease, including MRI (Mungas et al., 2002; Jack et al., 2003) and cerebral glucose metabolism or beta amyloid imaging with positron emission tomography (Alexander et al., 2002; Engler et al., 2006).
As our capacity for measuring neural activity improves, accompanied by powerful new analysis strategies, it seems prudent to remember what these traditional approaches have to offer.
Tinch et al. (this volume) further discusses the challenges related to defining adaptive and coping capacity and methods for measuring them.
Although maximal volume of oxygen consumption (VO2max) is considered the gold-standard for measuring aerobic capacity, its measurement requires strict protocols and trained personnel.
Of all these, the MacCAT tools have ranked the highest and are considered the best choice for measuring capacity to consent to treatment and clinical research in adults [ 28].
A framework for measuring capacity building should therefore be inclusive of both process and outcome measures [ 19], to capture changes in both the 'ends' and 'means'; it should measure the ultimate goals, but also measure the steps and mechanisms to achieve them.
This review only reported running endurance performance measures of aerobic capacity, with the 20-m MSFT considered a proxy test for measuring aerobic capacity of individuals [62, 63].
In contrast to the more direct methods for measuring antioxidant capacities of plant extracts, the FRAP assay is derived from a different redox reaction and due to its low cost, rapidity and technical simplicity, it has become a valuable method for detecting total antioxidant/reducing power of plant extracts.
Therefore, assays that are commonly used for measuring antioxidative capacity of nonpeptidic antioxidants have been used in the literature to measure the antioxidative capacity of peptides as well [ 4].
In practice, the designed capacity of a vessel is the most popular approach for measuring the fleet capacity for a shipping line.
At the 50th cycle, the reversible specific capacities for Li3V2(PO4)3 measured between 3 and 4.8 V at 1C rate are found to approach 147.1 mAh/g (93.8% of initial capacity).
