The error caused by the approximation will be measured in computer simulations.
Electrical parameters were measured in the computer-controlled chambers (software Clamp v. 2.14, Aachen, Germany) in the basal state (i.e. an equilibration time of 30 to 40 min), during incubation with VCC, α-Hemolysin or drugs added to the mucosal side and after removing the agonists.
The percentage of fibrotic area in the liver was measured with a computer-assisted automated image analyzer Image-Pro Plus 5.1 (Media Cybernetics Inc., Bethesda, MD, USA).
With hard drives now measured in gigabytes, home computers are all the more forgiving of those who just can't bring themselves to hit Delete.
Despite this admirable clarity pop science writers and artisans of metaphor have been trying for years to glue the two senses of "information" together again, as if what can be measured in computers is the same stuff as meaning for humans.
Information, as data, is measured in bits and computers enable us to store and access huge amounts of data, structuring it as tables and visual representations.
Acetabular inclination and anteversion in 65 symptomatic arthritic hips requiring THA were measured using a computer navigation system.
Tracing data were measured using a computer package (Mouseyes).
The residents of Owenoke Way, a half-mile-long road not far from Lockwood in Riverside, were surprised when the town measured speeds through a computer-generated plate in the road.
