Currently, she is working on the applications of Numerical Optimization Techniques for multimodal integration of resting state fMRI, structural DTI, and behavioral assessment for characterizing neurological disorders.
The strengths of this study include the objective outcome assessment using bio-markers, the strict criteria for blood draws, use of state-of-the-art assays for characterizing immune function, objective exposure assessment using a geographic information system (GIS), and the homogeneity of the study population.
The results replicate under different laboratory conditions and indicate the usefulness of this sound quality assessment approach for characterizing appliance noises.
The aim of this review paper is to propose guidelines highlighting the rationale for FCW, including key water quality management and regulatory issues, important physical and biochemical wetland treatment processes, assessment techniques for characterizing potential FCW sites and discharge options to water bodies.
The use of biomonitoring data holds promise for characterizing exposure and informing risk assessment.
The use of biomonitoring data holds a great deal of promise for characterizing exposure and informing risk assessment.
Spatial saturation monitoring and land use regression (LUR) modeling are standard exposure assessment methodologies for characterizing intra-urban variability in air pollution concentrations [ 1, 4- 6, 11] and pollution source apportionment [ 15].
Due to advances in technology quantitative analysis with PET/CT has been recognized as providing an objective, more accurate, and less observer-dependent measure for characterizing adrenal tumours than visual assessment alone [ 6, 18, 19].
A strength of our review is the collaborative effort of clinicians, epidemiologists, and statisticians that helped us to develop a comprehensive framework for characterizing quantitative approaches for benefit-harm assessment.
The framework presented in Tables 1 and 2 outlines assessment methods specific for characterizing pesticide exposures for a longitudinal epidemiologic study of neurodevelopmental outcomes in children.
