The discrimination aspect focuses on the question: does the measure discriminate between situations of interest?
The Dalhousie pictorial scales were developed to quantify and discriminate qualitative aspects of the sensory perception of effort and difficulty associated with breathing in health and disease.
It provides support for the ability of questions of the type used in the general practice assessment questionnaire to discriminate between aspects of the performance of practices and of individual doctors within those practices.
The MIL by contrast has employed a method that appears more effective at discriminating between these aspects.
In order to differentiate buck passing from fitting attitude theory, we need to discriminate between the aspect of Scanlon's view that is part of an FA theory, the aspect amenable but not essential to FA theory, and the aspect that seems orthogonal to it.
The histological classification of dysplasia involves two especially challenging aspects: i) discriminating reactive epithelial atypia secondary to inflammation from the presence of true dysplasia; and, ii) distinguishing between the two different grades of dysplasia (LGD, HGD) [ 9- 13].
The heterogeneity of various forms of SSc and the difficulty in discriminating between disease activity (aspects of the disease that vary over time and are potentially reversible spontaneously or with drug treatment) and disease damage (irreversible tissue injury that results from the disease) [10] complicate studies of SSc.
The simulations revealed one aspect of the discriminating power of surfactants: they can actually be attracted toward the interior of the nanotube cage.
While many microarray studies report that similar classifications are obtained with different supervised learning algorithms [ 13, 14, 28, 29], so far little attention has been paid to this critical aspect of selecting discriminating genes [ 30- 32].
These findings suggest that, in this paradigm, SKF-38393 locally applied to the auditory cortex preferentially improves learning of aspects of the conditioned stimuli that are related to the differences in the directions of the frequency modulations, that is, aspects required for discriminating the conditioned stimuli and/or for associating them with their meanings.
