The cantilever frequency shift thus provides a facile measure of mass flow rate within the channel.
Growth inhibition assays are thus a facile measure of defense activation.
We believe there is a confluence of factors — increasing attention to quality-of-life, the demand for personalized therapies, the growing need for lean clinical trials — that the group or company that becomes facile at measuring, interpreting and ultimately creating quality-of-life metrics will reap enormous financial benefits.
From Raman intensities it is facile to measure semiquantitatively the number of clavulanic acid molecules taken up by the lactamase-free cells during growth.
We have developed a facile method for measuring the work of adhesion (Wa) between nanoparticles and their matrix, which we showed can be used to determine their degree of intercalation within the matrix.
Furthermore, the similarities between the distribution of our two sites suggests this approach provides a facile tool to measure urinary DNA content applicable to ongoing studies and bio-banks from different populations.
There are multiple ways of measuring the surface energy of a substance; a rather facile way is to measure the values of the contact angle that the substrate makes with certain solvents, and then by utilizing Young's equation (Equation 2), the surface energy would be determined.
In this study, a facile method was applied to measure the precipitate volume fractions in an age-hardened AlCuMg alloy.
Although the traditional instrumental techniques, such as absorption spectroscopy, cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry, and gas chromatography, give the direct and quantitative detection of Hg2+ concentration [11, 12], it is highly desirable to develop facile and quick methods for measuring the level of this detrimental metallic ion in the environment with high sensitivity and selectivity.
Since retinoids and protease inhibitors suppress the expression of the ras oncogene in NIH 3T3 cells, NIH 3T3 cells may serve as a relatively facile model for finding and measuring chemopreventive agents that interfere with the carcinogenic process.
