The speech reception performance was characterized by using both the number of words correctly recognized (speech intelligibility, IS) and two estimates of listening effort: the behavioral measure of response time (RT) and a subjective judgement on a rating scale (LE).
Precise behavioral modeling offers a way to assess architectural design decisions prior to, during, and after implementation to mitigate the impacts of complexity, but in and of itself does not lead to estimates of the effort and the cost of those design decisions.
We found that spatial definition of fishing areas within coastal zones improved our estimates of fishing effort density (see bolded values in FMD vs. CMD, Table S1).
However, including both estimates of fishing effort and catch statistics will serve as a more accurate basis for evaluating direct and indirect ecological effects of fishing.
We suggest that estimates of fishing effort, not just target catch or yield, serve as a necessary measure of fishing activity, which is a key link to evaluating sustainability and environmental impacts of coastal fisheries.
More broadly, the incongruence between the two indices suggests researchers must take extra caution when using the gonadosomatic index in comparative estimates of reproductive effort for organisms with indeterminate growth, or any species where allocation to somatic tissues may strongly vary.
In the other words, estimated value of effort is modified by determining the optimal coefficient.
To address this well-known problem, estimates of study efforts are usually introduced in parasitological studies [ 6, 43].
Estimates of the efforts expended by VGs suggest that the United States alone has over 500 mission organizations that send up to 6000 mission trips per year [ 3, 4].
