In practice, assessing and controlling cohesion in large systems implies measuring it automatically.
This implies measuring, at least once, fructosamine together with HbA1c to calculate the G-Gap.
For instance, a good selectivity implies measuring cardiac output independently to blood pressure in pulse contour systems, or measuring the concentration of 1 volatile anesthetic independent from the presence of other volatile anesthetic in respiratory gases.
Such a comparison would imply measuring how well a method discover a random SNP in the genome to how well a method discover a SNP in a particular gene of interest in a particular population of interest.
While theory development is adding new components to a theory and elaborating the measures, testing a theory implies precise measures, variables, and predicted relationships considering time and space (Gilbert and Christensen (2005).
The lack of relevant outcome measures implies that a measure like reduction in the duration of hospitalisation becomes a surrogacy for clinical outcome measures and health status.
The availability of the rapid and portable SphygmoCor system from AtCor (Sydney) implies that measures of central arterial stiffness, and its correlate vascular age, are measurable in ambulatory patients as an important endophenotype of vascular ageing.
The stream gauge, one of some 7,400 nationwide, does what its name implies: it measures the level and flow of water in a stream.
This implies that measures to reduce transmission by contact or large droplets may not be sufficient to control influenza A virus transmission in households.
