Fundamental steps in such a quantitative approach are firstly the spatial characterisation of root distribution and secondly the calculation of root reinforcement.
While some of the factors can be observed and measured in a questionnaire survey, some other factors are not easy to measure in such a quantitative way.
That circadian period responded in such a quantitative fashion to available Fe supply strengthens the notion that plants actively measure cellular Fe, in support of earlier observations of the graded responses to Fe deficiency experienced by Chlamydomonas (Moseley et al, 2002).
Future studies of the role of miRNAs in wing colour patterning and pigmentation could investigate miRNAs that are less abundantly expressed, using more sensitive methods for analysing changes in expression (such a quantitative PCR) and also examine specific areas of developing wings (such as that destined to become a yellow bar) to look for regional-specific up- or down-regulation of miRNAs.
In such a scenario, the quantitative nature of next generation sequencing (NGS) data allows for higher resolution of the subclonal architecture of cancers and its monitoring over time with implication for prognostic stratification, tumor monitoring, and emergence of chemoresistance [ 17].
In fact, in order to do such a quantitative comparison of results, a common data base should be available in order to test the corresponding algorithms according to specific criteria.
In the usual aqueous electrolytic baths, cobalt electrodeposition is accompanied by the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and therefore, in such circumstances, a quantitative evaluation of the kinetic parameters of the cobalt electrocrystallization process, is almost impossible.
Furthermore, experimental measurements support the idea that the maps are organized in such a way that they optimize a quantitative measure of completeness, called the coverage uniformity [125], [127] [129].
Many people have a visceral reaction against the quants at banks, blaming them for the complex products that led to the financial crisis It is true that the people who sold mortgage [securities] used quantitative techniques in such a way that the risk was hidden.
How meaningful are quantitative scores in such a context.
The triangulation design was chosen as the most appropriate mixed methods design since the research question focused on one single phenomenon, i.e. the decision to deliver at home vs. in a health care facility, but aimed at capturing all its possible dimensions, in such a way that neither qualitative nor quantitative methods alone could do [ 36].
