By introducing an indicator and its criterion for long pipelines it could be seen that not only is this indicator dependent on geometry (i.e. ratio of length to diameter of pipe), but it also belongs to flow regime (i.e. friction coefficient).
We answer the following questions: (i) which indicator is most sensitive to the decline, (ii) how many temporal samples are needed, (iii) what temporal sampling pattern (interval between time points) is most appropriate, (iv) is power of an indicator dependent on the type of population decline, and (v) what is the effect of sample size and marker number on power?
However, the sensitivity of these fluid indicators is dependent on the mixed effect of pore fluid and rock matrix.
This is because absolute indicators are dependent on both size and discipline (e.g. Zitt et al. 2005).
However, proper use of indicators is dependent on a suitable conceptual framework to manage and assess the environmental performance.
While selection of a set of indicators is dependent on the geographic and demographic context of a particular community, the overall results of this study show that there are varying degrees of sustainability with each treatment technology.
However, valid and reliable performance indicators are dependent on standardized definitions and rigorous methodological quality [ 15, 48, 49].
Examples are inclusion of recommendations in quality indicators, reimbursement dependent on fulfilment of certain recommendations and audit feedback.
The calculation of the six main indicators is dependent on the accuracy of the numerators of the events and the denominators.
EULAR states that for successful implementation, a separate project is usually necessary, selecting one or more established implementation strategies, such as knowledge about the recommendations, inclusion of recommendations in quality indicators, reimbursement dependent on fulfillment of certain recommendations, and audit feedback [ 7].
