We conclude that detailed acoustic analysis can significantly aid in the construction of new instruments by quantifying the impact of instrument geometry and material properties.
In contrast, only a few studies addressed the potential impact of instrument parameters, such as resolution and co-adds (i.e., the number of averaged replicate spectra), on the method performance of error statistics.
This contribution evaluates the impact of instrument uncertainties contributing to data inaccuracies and their effect on short-term and long-term measurement series, and on radiation model validation studies.
The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of instrument error, due to uncalibrated scales and stadiometers, on prevalence estimates of overweight and obesity.
To investigate the impact of instrument error on the estimated prevalence of overweight including obesity (BMI ≥25 kg/m) we simulated random samples of corrected height- and weight data derived from the NCG-study and correction values (instrument error) were added in each simulation (n=1000).
The test-fairness of the ADLib-cardio is of particular importance, as an unfair item can heavily impact results of instruments with a low item number [ 39].
This study also emphasized the differential impact of marketing instruments on customer acquisition and retention rates.
All in all, few studies exist on the overall impact of policy instruments promoting design of eco-industrial parks.
One of the main considerations in designing environmental policy is the impact of policy instruments on the timing of firms' investment decisions with respect to energy-saving technologies.
A set of remarks were made regarding the impact of policy instruments on the performance of second generation biodiesel supply chain under study.
