Professionals responsible for managing and preventing the spread of disease need to employ alternative methods to infer potential infection pathways and disease dynamics.
Using eigenvalues greater than 1 has been considered to be the least accurate method for factor retention and thus, this study also employed alternative methods such as scree test and parallel analysis [ 28].
Studies among other native groups including the Akwesasne Mohawk, Shoshone, Southern Paiute, Ouje-Bougoumou Cree, and Ojibwa have all employed alternative methods of exposure assessment and risk communication to address environmental hazards in these communities [ 5- 8].
The short time period for the evaluation coupled with the numerous approvals required to conduct the study restricted the time available for data collection and the scope to employ alternative methods to improve survey response.
While the incentives to complement or replace conventional, time-discrete sampling have been widely discussed, the data quality implications of employing alternative, integrative methods have not yet been systematically studied.
We have published some simple guidelines to protect the rights of investigators to exploit their data, such as an embargo period between publication and release of raw data.[9] Other investigators may fear that future researchers will undermine the original authors' conclusions, either by uncovering an error or by employing alternative analytic methods.
In this work, commercially available coatings have been applied by plasma spray and high velocity oxyfuel (HVOF), employing alternative surface preparation methods.
Their approach enabled them to detect a total of 58 defects that might be missed by employing alternative three-dimensional imaging methods and scoring systems.
The demand for lighter and safer structures has led the designers to increasingly employ alternative joining methods, replacing the more commonly used spot welding.
Agencies were also authorized to employ alternative dispute-resolution methods, such as mediation and arbitration, to resolve disputes regarding enforcement.
We recommend that laboratories using Vitek should employ alternative susceptibility testing methods for TZP before reporting the activity of this agent against ESBL-producing E. coli.
