The combined method presented in this study is ideally suited for preliminary design calculations for a selected location or for comparison of different locations for determination of the energy conservation and carbon emission reduction potential of DX-SAHP hot water systems.
The negative predictive value of the SN method in vulval cancer appeared to be 100% in most studies, with the identification rate nearly 100% in those studies using the combined method.
In this study, using combined methods of field sampling, aerial photographing and satellite images, we investigated the characteristics of patchiness, quantified ecosystem C and N stocks in different patches at plot scale (~ 1000 m2) and eventually estimated the uncertainty in ecosystem C and N stocks caused by small-scale patchiness at basin scale.
A "hard combining" method is studied in [6], which is introduced to make a contrast with the sensing algorithm in this paper.
The study follows a combined methods design that includes a priority setting study, running workshops to develop a Theory of Change and conducting a qualitative study.
The main purposes of combining methods in studies in the documentary analysis were complementarity (methods used to address different aspects of the same question), expansion (methods used to address different questions), and development (one method used to inform the development of another) [ 30].
Finally, several novel laboratory studies that combined methods from hydraulic engineering and ecotoxicology for exposure of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to simulated flood events demonstrated that associated effects, including induction of biotransformation enzymes and genotoxicity, were elevated after exposure [8, 18, 29].
The study follows a combined methods design that includes engaging an expert panel in a priority setting exercise, running workshops to develop a Theory of Change and conducting in-depth qualitative interviews and focus group discussions with key stakeholders.
This work presents the first cDNA sunflower fluorescence microarray analysed by a combined statistical method, studying transcriptional changes in early responses to chilling and salinity.
Results of this multidisciplinary study, which combines methods used in clay mineral studies with biological assays, prove feasibility to attach two vaccine-related proteins to organoclay mineral particles, yielding close vicinity between the proteins that may lead to an immune response via the monosialoganglioside (GM1) receptor.
