The simulation results achieved good agreement with the experimental measurements, which validates the simulation model.
The predicted performance results (i.e., rutting depth and fatigue cracking area) were coincident with those field measurements, which validated the prediction accuracy of the proposed approach.
The application of the method to real-time 3D measurement shows satisfactory results compared with a pure sequential monochrome measurement, which validates the concept.
TM/ETM + measured water color products (Rrs and SSC) are cross validated with MODIS measurements, which are validated by contemporaneous in-situ data.
The good accuracy of the estimated internal pressure and heat flux is shown through different examples and by considering the influence of measurement errors, which validates the presented approach.
Nanohardness, stress and resistivity measurements provide complementary information, which validate the proposed 3-step model for the film formation of the Zr Si N system deposited by reactive magnetron co-sputtering.
This means that for the remaining transcript measurements, which were not validated by qPCR, no criterion is available on reliable versus non-reliable results.
Limitations of this study include the lack of EMG measurements, which could have validated study findings.
Preliminary experimental measurements, which have characterized and validated this solution, have been conducted through a suitable prototype PCB fabricated with discrete commercial components.
The XRD results were further validated by RBS measurements, which confirmed that both composition and thickness of the Fe-intermediate layer were strongly affected by the annealing temperature.
