The results of this work demonstrate the value of using modeling to design and evaluate monitoring protocols to assess the microbial quality of water used for produce irrigation.
As we wish to provide a generic way to evaluate monitoring quality, we formulated the average probability of successful packet reception at the destination, as presented in Table 3.
For the first time this study demonstrates how aquifer analogs combined with reactive transport models offer an underexplored way to develop generic process understanding, evaluate monitoring and quantification strategies in highly heterogeneous subsurface settings.
The objective of the study was to evaluate monitoring habits in German ICUs in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock.
We feel it is equally important to evaluate monitoring strategies in a real world setting outside the support of a clinical trial where participants receive maximum adherence support and therefore risks of virologic failure are minimized.
Future monitoring campaigns should therefore (i) include more cities with different demographics within a country and (ii) evaluate monitoring design strategies to find an optimum among feasible logistics, sufficient quality control and representativeness for an entire year 34.
