To replicate MRI measurements post-mortem, the thickness of the M1 and S1BF were measured using the contour measurement tool in Stereo Investigator software using the same microscope set-up described for stereology analysis.
Material properties, endolymph viscosity, and boundary conditions also need to be carefully considered in order to replicate experimental measurements.
Consequently, there is a need for efficient comparison of model alternatives in order to find the most reduced version that is able to replicate experimental measurements.
Notably, in order to measure these changes with confidence it was necessary to make numerous replicate measurements to allow the subtle effects of pacemaker timing adjustment to be identified from biological beat-to-beat variability.
Sixty-two infants underwent replicate measurements to assess reproducibility.
Additional components of variation, such as replicate measurements to quantify measurement error, can easily be added [ 29, 31, 52].
As can be seen from graphs, measurements were replicated to check repeatability (trials I-III).
Triplicate blood pressure was measured (automated Omron 705IT device; Omron) and measurements replicated to within 5 mm Hg.
However, before being considered as an effective alternative metric in the study of sleep in ICUs, sleep continuity measurements need to be replicated and tested in critically ill patients with atypical sleep, in patients with a high severity of illness and in patients receiving sedatives.
While single-cell analyses, such as the scWestern, detect rare phenotypes in a population of cancer cells, the importance of those rare and often hard-to-replicate measurements is still being assessed.
