Most studies on the carbon balance of selectively logged forests have estimated pre- and post-logging carbon stocks with remote sensing methods [16], allowing large-scale estimation of logging extent and quantification of canopy damage [14, 17, 18].
The goal of exploratory modeling is to better understand the system of interest through delineation of plausible boundaries, description of patterns within multidimensional model space, and to the extent possible, quantification of the likelihood of occurrence of different model outcomes.
Moreover, transcripts show stability differences of up to two orders of magnitude in vivo, raising the possibility that partial degradation during cell lysis could cause a variable extent of bias in quantification of different transcripts [ 6].
To determine the extent of hepatocyte injury, quantification of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was performed from serum and concentrated culture supernatant using the Infinity ALT Liquid Stable Reagent (Thermo Scientific, Middletown, VA).
For the top ranked imprinted gene ATCDC48, we also quantified the extent of imprinting using Quantification of Allele Specific Expression by Pyrosequencing (QUASEP), a technique based on real-time pyrophosphate (PPi) detection [ 32- 34], which allows precise relative quantification of SNP frequencies.
While radiology is a specialty which lends itself to some extent to accurate quantification of workload, the reporting of non-countable (Sect. 2) activity indicates that this aspect of radiologists' work now accounts for, on average, 32.47% of radiologists' working time.
We compared sputum culture conversion for African and non-African patients stratified by four baseline measures of disease severity: AFB smear quantification, extent of disease on chest radiograph, cavity size and the number of days to detection of M. tuberculosis in liquid media using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method.
Furthermore, there is so far no guideline how extent of contamination makes the quantification of proteins end in failure.
In addition, subjecting male mice to 8 weeks of Western diet approximately doubled the extent of atherosclerosis but again quantification revealed no difference between control and experimental mice.
SEP, which was developed in 1947 by Dawson, is more objective than earlier techniques and has the advantage of quantification of the extent of damage.
c, Quantification of extent of migration, with percentage of somata in layers II/III (dark colours in graph) versus somata still en route in deeper layers (light colours in graph), as schematized above.
