This method was designed for laboratory use, but methods are needed to extend measurement of reinforcing value to applied research environments.
Nonetheless, several authors, in their attempt to extend measurement theory and practice beyond the focus on output performance, have suggested concrete assessment areas to set the basis for a general measurement framework.
Figure 10 shows a movie over the extend measurement period of OCT and SLO images from the same volunteer as in the first measurement series at approximately the same position (c.f. to the blood vessel in the top part of the image).
The five scales which primarily measure disability (PF, RP, BP, SF, RE) should have the highest mean scale scores, while lower mean scores should be found for the three scales which extend measurement to the well-being range (GH, VT, MH).
Due to its integrated design and the extended measurements capabilities, we anticipate application of our device in many application-relevant areas such as water quality analysis or environmental science.
We here report extended measurements on this topic, including very young bees (age <24 h), with emphasis of the relative abundance of both endothermic and ectothermic bees in various age classes from emergence to the foraging age.
Three calibration and validation measurements were performed to detect potential artifacts in the images due to mirror movements or misalignments: (1) Dynamic imaging of the position of the mirror hole/tube tip during the air puff; (2) Measurement of a flat surface and rubber tonometry-probe eyes; (3) Repeated extended measurements of an in vitro eye.
Quantification of IBs was performed using the Photoshop Extended Measurement function of Photoshop and measuring the mean grey value.
In addition, nanoparticle interactions, sedimentation and/or aggregation as well as natural convection during extended measurement times may also increase experimental uncertainties [19, 23].
The extended measurement uncertainties (95% confidence level) were: 0.46″ for θx error motion; 0.46″ for θy error motion; and 0.616 μm for straightness.
