The scale and nature of data collection was constrained by sensitivity to the fact that participants had already refused to take part in our main survey.
Asked if he would be constrained by sensitivities about dealing with countries like Saudi Arabia as the United States confronts Iraq and battles terrorism, Mr. Kissinger said, "We are under no restrictions, and we will accept no restrictions".
To maintain robustness, we constrain a sensitivity parameter, namely, the white noise gain, to be above prescribed levels across the frequency band.
Similarly, neither AFS cells nor hAFDCs form teratomas in mice (30, 34), although the requirement for a threshold number of pluripotent cells for teratoma formation (49) may constrain the sensitivity of this assay.
The peak at 56 ka is the Congo (CGT) eruption from Coatepeque Caldera (El Salvador), constrained using high sensitivity 14C analysis; see Rose et al. (1999) for details.
Daytime visual perception in diurnal animals is constrained by the sensitivity and operating range of retinal cones.
The accuracy of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in prostate cancer detection is constrained by low sensitivity and specificity.
However, PSA testing is constrained by low sensitivity and specificity, reflected by its low area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC=0.678) (Thompson et al, 2005).
Typically, however, studies used to identify a minimum infectious dose have been limited in sample size and thus constrained in their sensitivity to detect infrequent effects.
However, MALDI-TOF-based protein profiling is still constrained by poor sensitivity in detection of larger proteins (>30 kDa) and limited ion peaks in complex samples.
