Only the on/off states of each valve are controlled, and the corresponding net outflow is measured thereby enabling a quantitative inference of the change in flow through all valves.
This is the first time the NHIS has "included a measure of sexual orientation, thereby enabling researchers and data users to examine how the prevalence of a wide variety of health-related behaviors" in its 57-year history.
This assay simultaneously measures cell viability and cytotoxicity, thereby enabling the quantitative assessment of population growth while controlling for differences in total cell number.
The model was used to: i) quantify the potential soil losses of arable land in the study area, ii) identify those areas highly affected by erosion risks iii) explore the potential for soil conservation of perennial crops, thereby enabling appropriate preventive measures to be identified.
Finally, large numbers of microarray data in the 'control' (as opposed to disease) conditions exist for these tissues, thereby enabling us to measure transcriptional noise with confidence.
The triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer can be set to filter hundreds of peptides in the first quadrupole and thousands of peptide fragments (transitions) in the third quadrupole, thereby enabling many proteins to be measured.
Instead, predictor variables of a population's health needs are often used [ 53- 56], chiefly due to advantages including that the data are cheaper to access, more reliable and regularly updated, and importantly for this research, the data are available at a much smaller geographic scale, thereby enabling a sensitive small-area measure of health needs, particularly for rural populations.
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analyses the composition of a substance by measuring how much infrared energy is absorbed by different molecules, thereby enabling the molecules present to be determined.
Nonetheless, our findings are novel, and our study is the first to describe secular trends in the proportion of qualitative research in medical journals and correlates associated with its publication utilizing multivariable analysis; thereby enabling the determination of which variables are independently associated with the outcome measure.
The absorbance of standards and samples were then measured at 544 nm with the use of a FluoStar Optima plate reader (BMG Labtech), thereby enabling total reducing sugar concentrations to be calculated as maltose equivalents.
