Sentence examples for dilution index from inspiring English sources
For the conservative cases we use as a metric of mixing the exponential of the Shannon entropy to quantify solute dilution either in a given volume (dilution index) or in a given solute flux (flux-related dilution index).
On the other hand, the dilution index indicates a slight tendency towards stochastic convective transport at this depth.
The plume spreading and mixing behavior was quantified on the basis of the coefficient of variation of the concentration and of the dilution index.
Spatial moments, a newly defined flux-related dilution index, the product mass fluxes and the reaction enhancement factors were calculated to quantify the differences in mixing and reaction extent under various experimental conditions.
Further, our results confirm that the dilution index is a better alternative to the second central spatial moment of a plume to describe the mixing of reactive solutes in coastal aquifers.
Embracing the Lagrangian concentration framework, we obtain explicit semi-analytical expressions for the dilution index as a function of the structural parameters of the random hydraulic conductivity field, under the assumptions of uniform-in-the-average flow, small injection source and weak-to-mild heterogeneity.
Proliferation was measured by flow-cytometric analysis of CFSE dilution, and division indices were calculated by computing the weighted fractions of all the divisions as per (D'Alise et al., 2008).
However, comparison of the CVs demonstrated that avidity calculations using a fixed x were less influenced by the chosen dilution than avidity indices based on the slope (data not shown).
In both sets, the film with lower hydrogen dilution shows higher refractive index than higher dilution ratio, indicating densely packed films.
The viral load gradually decreased in tertiary patients who lived further from the index case; dilution factors may have had an effect.
In order to evaluate the influence of the chosen sample dilution on the avidity index derived from the virtual absorbance ratio, several samples were tested in series of twofold dilutions with four or more steps.
