Sentence examples for measures of background from inspiring English sources
In this context, future research on the adaptive function of eggshell pigmentation needs explicitly to account for our finding that related species can differ markedly in measures of background eggshell colour across different regions of the spectrum.
We employed a portable reflectance spectrophotometer [14] to measure eggshell spectra over the avian visible range (i.e. 300 700 nm), and used this to produce a range of quantitative measures of background eggshell colour for a large sample of museum specimens from across avian phylogenetic lineages.
Raw signal intensities were background corrected using array-specific measures of background intensity based on negative control probes, in the R statistical software (version 2.13) (30) with BioConductor packages (9), before being transformed and normalized using the "vsn" package (12).
In models adjusting for age, sex, and history of any asbestos-exposed job, the log-transformed measures of background exposure, exposure from pile playing, total activity exposure, and total exposure were positively associated with pleural abnormalities (Table 4).
At the highest count rates investigated, measures of background concentration (about 300 kBq/ml) could be estimated on average to within 1 %, 5 % and 2 % for GE Healthcare (all-pass filter, RR + ToF), Philips (4i8s ToF) and Siemens (2i21s all-pass filter, RR + ToF) ToF systems, respectively.
This may have been due to better estimates of scatter prior to subtraction.> -wrap-foot> aEntire phantom not in FoV Comparison of the QUEST methodology with independent analysis using other software for a sample F and Y dataset are given in Table 4 for measures of background concentration and in Fig. 8 for measures of hot sphere recovery.
In order to adapt #min(x) according to background dynamics, a measure of background dynamics is needed.
Also, for quality control of the chemical measurements, standards (used for not more than 3 days after preparation) and blanks were used in between runs to provide a measure of background noise, accuracy and precision.
The success of these compromises depends upon there being a fair measure of background agreement between decision-makers over the important values served by the law both measures would be too weak in the face of widespread and deep value disagreement.
This form of the adaptation equation was hand-crafted as it allows for a single equation to handle the rise or decay of #min. No adaptation of #min(x) is done if x is a classified as foreground, because in this case, the number of matches is not a measure of background dynamics.
As the contents of the small intestine varied with time, VOIs were drawn on each time frame, and where no significant uptake could be identified, the VOI from the nearest available time point was copied to provide a measure of background activity.
