Direct normal radiation (DNR) and global horizontal irradiance (GHI), which are measures of suitability for concentrating solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV), range between 2000 and 2500 kWh/m2/year in the Middle East region [15].
Although comorbidity and PS measure different things (the number of concurrent health conditions over a period of time before cancer diagnosis and general health status at the time of lung cancer diagnosis, respectively), both variables may be used as surrogate measures of suitability for treatment (Ludbrook et al, 2003).
For instance, by referring to grass as 'touchable', herders are noting a measure of suitability for sheep on pastures grazed short, in effect reachable by the small stock while unusable by cattle.
We provide evidence that, at broad scales, habitat identification that includes logging roads and wolves provides a better measure of suitability of an area for caribou occupation than does forest cover alone.
The data used give a measure of suitability for each tractor and for each item, as well as an analysis of misfits that constitute a quality control for the data being considered.
Our measure of "suitability" (precisely, probability of occurrence; see Methods) is not equivalent to productivity, but we assume it to be largely monotonically related to it.
The Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Behavioral Responses Questionnaire (IBS-BRQ) [ 53], which only measures IBS-related avoidance and control behaviors, could have proved to be a better measure of suitability for the treatment.
We measured responses to an anthropogenic boundary by species from multiple trophic levels, and incorporated measures of habitat suitability, and temporal variation, at multiple spatial scales.
To investigate this, we related indices of node centrality (degree and eigenvector centrality; Table 1) to the proportion of genetically identified immigrants in each node and to other measures of habitat suitability so as to identify biologically meaningful traits of the topological position of nodes.
Based on development of the conceptual model, the objective was then to review existing PRO measures for suitability in clinical trials of SLE, in terms of their content validity, face validity and psychometric properties.
Ethnic and geographic balance, as well as a measure of ideological suitability, played some part in, say, Herbert Hoover's selection of Benjamin Nathan Cardozo, in 1932, or Dwight D. Eisenhower's choice of John M. Harlan, in 1955, but it was possible, too, to see these nominations as ratifications of a national consensus about lawyerly credentials.
