For general distances, mapping functions can be derived by two different approaches the first approach is Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) in which an optimal mapping is derived based on minimizing the differences between the two distances over a finite dataset [44].
The major alternative approaches for epitope mapping are derived from scanning with antigenic peptides displayed on the surface of bacteriophage, bacteria and yeast [14] [21], which in recent years have increasingly incorporated fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS).
The method of mapping is derived from the mapping method employed by the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) [ 31].
For each ITS mapping identified, a full reaction atom mapping is derived via VF2-based graph matching.
This map was derived from various digital database sources.
The slope map was derived from Digital Elevation Model.
Eventually, a sample "risk of failure" map was derived by evaluating the impact of the process parameters' statistical variations.
The prediction accuracy that is used for selection of best susceptibility map was derived from the success - rate curves.
The evapotranspiration map was derived from precipitation map by assuming the rate of evapotranspiration to be 5%% of the precipitation (value taken from a report of IMD, Ranchi).
