Unfortunately, item parameters are not consistent in this case (Embretson & Reise, 2000; Johnson, 2007), and this implies that growth parameters based on IRT estimates of ability may be biased even in the context of large data sets.
Estimation of microbial growth parameters based on absorbance measurements has the advantages of being rapid, non-destructive, inexpensive and relatively easy to automate as compared to the other techniques such as classical viable counts methods (Dalgaard and Koutsoumanis 2001).
A damage parameter based on strain accumulation was used to predict the crack-growth rate for different fatigue loading conditions.
A probabilistic method was employed to represent the variability in the small-crack growth behavior and the statistical differences with respect to stress ratio where a method of optimization of the small-crack growth model parameters, based on a minimization of the error between the predicted and the measured crack length vs. cycles (a vs. N) data, was used.
Personalized tumor growth modeling allows patient-specific prediction by estimating model parameters based on individual's images.
Epiphyte-host networks from old-growth forests differed from those from disturbed forest in several topological parameters based on both qualitative and quantitative matrices.
We chose parameters based on their known effects on cellular fitness or longevity (e.g., calorie restriction) or on global metabolism (growth t°).
Thus, to adjust the conditions for CdS NP synthesis, one has to achieve a compromise among all the deduced demands to the growth parameters; namely, based on the analysis of the hydrolysis of Cd-containing salt, the optimal values of the parameters for the successful NP growth are pH = 4 7, and Cd2+ ion concentration must be less than 0.05 mol/dm3.
The nanowire growth parameters were chosen based on the optimal growth condition for growing near defect-free zinc-blende GaAs nanowires catalyzed by Au colloidal particles [12].
Neo-classical growth models explain economic growth based on savings and growth of population.
