The work was structured using the following steps: identification of the relevant variables for the social sustainability of farms, determination of the framework of indicators, assignment of their range scores, data collection, calculation of the score for each farm, data analysis and visualization.
More detailed information regarding data collection, calculation and practical meaning of the scores and classification of the farms can be found in the Welfare Quality® assessment protocol for dairy cows [ 13].
Data collection and calculations were managed using the Molecular Weight function in the DTS software for the Zetasizer Nano system, which compiles the static intensity measurements and generates a standard Debye plot.
The Texture Expert computer program (version 1.20, Stable Micro Systems) was used for data collection and calculations.
A purpose-designed XML-based data set was developed and used for standardized data collection and calculations using uniform algorithms.
PJ was responsible for the study design, epidemiological enquiry, data collection, statistical calculations, and drafting of the manuscript.
Additional details regarding the GPS data collection and calculations are described elsewhere (Suarez-Lopez et al. 2012).
A detailed overview of the data collection and calculation process, as well as the data validation process through several bunkering companies, is provided in Aronietis et al. (2015).
This paper discusses the sources used in the development of the CMRR, describes the CMRR data collection and calculation procedures, and briefly presents a number of practical mining applications in which the CMRR has played a prominent role.
This complexity essentially mandates the use of automated data collection and calculation.
The feasibility of measuring indicators in terms of data collection and calculation.
