The annual credit-hour data show that ∼1400 students take an intensive directed-research course each year at the University of Georgia, corresponding to ∼5% of the undergraduate students at the university.
Traditional production methods for complex objects rely on labor-intensive direct measurements with calipers or rulers and the translation of that data into CAD/3D reconstruction software.
During these intensives, direct measurements of mercury dry-deposition were made using a newly developed surrogate water surface technique.
The relative efficiency of our MIC measurement method (see Text S1) allowed us to analyze a larger set of strains than would have been possible using only the more labor-intensive direct competitions.
Molecular genetic testing of mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes is currently performed using highly sensitive but labour-intensive direct Sanger sequencing of individual exons.
Activation of defense responses upon pathogen infection is usually accompanied by a rapid induction of sink metabolism, possibly to satisfy the increased demand for carbohydrates as an energy source to sustain the cascade of cost-intensive direct defense responses and further mediate physiological adaptations [ 55].
Calculation of sensitivities of stochastic chemical systems using Kinetic Monte Carlo and finite-difference-based methods is not only computationally intensive, but direct calculation of sensitivities by finite-difference-based methods of parameter perturbations converges very poorly.
Compared with mass media and more intensive approaches, direct mail interventions may represent a more promising population-based strategy for promoting cancer screening including mammography [ 11, 12].
Our search included primary literature, review, and opinion articles and the inclusion criteria were: 1966 to July 2004, English language, mention of critical or intensive care, direct mention of ethics OR discussed an ethical issue.
