Indicator variables included in the assessment were: population density and change, road density, percent forest land-cover, forest patch density, landscape Shannon's Diversity Index, proportion of all streams with roads within 30 m, proportion of area that has agriculture on slopes >3%, proportion of all streams with adjacent agriculture, and proportion of all streams with adjacent forest cover.
Results of the complement binding assay are presented as a mean fluorescence index [FI (Fluorescent Index), proportion of positive bacteria expressed as a percentage multiplied by the geometric mean MFI] in arbitary units [12], [17], [18].
The algorithm tries to find the distribution of populations among k groups defined a priori that maximises the FCT index (proportion of total genetic variation due to differences among groups of populations).
Disproportionate share index, proportion of Medicare and Medicaid days to total inpatient days had significant (p<0.01) but small effects.
Subsequently, the vulnerability index of various districts was calculated by aggregating drought resilience index, proportion of SC/ST population and percentage of land degradation.
Among women, age, the body mass index, proportion of participants with leisure-time physical activity and history of hypertension were higher among participants with diabetes.
Ten fields were counted per sample and results were expressed as the proliferation index: proportion of the positively staining cells over the total number of cells.
Images were analyzed by semiquantitative scores of flow (mean flow index; proportion of perfused vessels) and density (total vascular density; perfused vascular density) of small vessels (<20 μm).
HBI, human blood index (proportion of tested mosquitoes having ingested human blood. †Average number of mosquitoes landing on a single person per night (ma).
Similar limitations apply to the DCN index (proportion of cases first notified by death certificate), which has been proposed as an alternative measure of incompleteness.
