Poorly nourished infants don't grow as tall as their peers, and measuring the proportion of stunting (being lower than the expected height for age) in two-year-olds is a simple way of checking for malnourishment.
One snag is that, at present, the visual representation of the voice has to be tediously annotated manually for its vowel and consonant content.However, a slightly different approach, measuring the proportion of speech time during which the vocal cords vibrate, could be automated since software for extracting that feature already exists.
The age is determined by measuring the proportion of 14C in relation to 12C and comparing this with corresponding theoretical value for "modern" carbon.
SDG 6 on water and sanitation includes an indicator, SDG Indicator 6.5.2, to assess cooperation over transboundary waters by measuring the "Proportion of transboundary basin area with an operational arrangement for water cooperation".
By doing so, we create an occupation-specific index measuring the proportion of workers who perform their occupation in the same manner; that is, the index reflects how much workers are like the typical worker in each occupation.
Uterine health was determined by measuring the proportion of nucleated cells that were polymorphonucleated following cytobrush sampling of the uterus between d 13 to 24 and d 30 to 49 postcalving.
Due east along Guangdong's coastline, one of the region's most sophisticated technological projects, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Complex, is also the stage for a cutting-edge experiment in high-energy physics: measuring the proportion of electron antineutrinos from the nuclear reactors that morph into other types, or generations, of these leptons as they speed through space.
By measuring the proportion of polonium and lead in a sample, one can establish the production date of polonium.
Individual MLH is calculated by measuring the proportion of heterozygous loci within an individual.
In this respect, measuring the proportion of patients who respond favorably to treatment without being affected by adverse drug reactions (ADR) could be a suitable endpoint.
Comparing the best solution for these two scenarios, we found measuring the proportion protected for chlorophyll a resulted in fairly similar results between the two scenarios (Fig 7a).
