The objective of this study was to develop instrumental protocols for evaluating physicochemical characteristics of plant biostimulant/biofertiliser formulations.
It is therefore essential to have a highly standardized clinical-instrumental protocol that allows precise, repeatable, fast, and simple data acquisition that can be used for subjects of different ages and abilities to cooperate.
This new clinical-instrumental protocol for photogrammetric acquisition was applied for the first time to acquire the faces of a sample of 66 female subjects (64 Caucasian, 1 Ethiopian, and 1 Brazilian), who are finalists in an Italian national beauty contest in 2010.
The analysis was carried out according to a new clinical-instrumental protocol that comprises four distinct phases: (1) setup of portable equipment in the space in which field analysis will be performed, (2) preparation of the subject and spatial positioning, (3) scanning of the subject with different facial expressions, and (4) treatment and processing of data.
To conclude, two experiments found that whereas branded pack stimuli elicited tobacco-seeking in a Pavlovian to instrumental transfer protocol, plain pack stimuli did not, indicating that plain packs have degraded discriminative control over tobacco-seeking.
The instrumental platform, operational protocol, and analytical methodology were adapted from our prior work.
AG was instrumental in piloting the protocol through AstraZeneca Canada, obtaining funding and in organizing most of the infrastructure of this trial.
We conducted intention-to-treat, as-treated, per-protocol, and instrumental variable analyses to analyze the outcome.
We conducted as-treated, per-protocol, and instrumental variable analyses to assess the sensitivity of this conclusion under substantial noncompliance with the CTN intervention.
34 In the sensitivity analysis of the impact of noncompliance, we employed three other analytical approaches, ie, as-treated, per-protocol, and instrumental variable analyses.
