A human high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography scanner (HR-pQCT) (XtremeCT, Scanco Medical, Switzerland) capable of measuring three important indicators of bone quality (micro-architectural morphology, mineralization and mechanical stiffness) has been developed.
This paper proposes a novel metric setting to measure two important aspects of information diversity, information coverage and information redundancy.
We have measured two important components of fitness, egg-to-adult and adult viability, but we note that using fitness components as proxies for fitness can be problematic if there are trade-offs between measured and unmeasured fitness components [33].
To examine whether Bd infection affects amphibian predator-prey interactions, we measured two important anti-predator behaviors, activity rate and refuge use, in a series of controlled laboratory experiments testing the responses of larvae of four host species (frogs: Anaxyrus boreas, Rana aurora, Rana cascadae, Pseudacris regilla) to Bd infection.
But we were unable to measure two important characteristics of parents.
In order to better understand the metabolic profile in B1B2KO mice, we measured two important hormones involved in energy homeostasis, ie, insulin and leptin.
We measured two important quality-of-care indicators concerning the surgical treatment of breast cancer: percent of BCS in pT1 lesions and percent of BCS performed with free margins, and the results were positive.
Additionally, the Hyperlink-Induced Topic Search (HITS) algorithm [ 26] was used to measure two important characteristics of an overall genomic network, including directed linkages, namely: 1) the authority of individual genes, and 2) the hub value of individual genes.
For this purpose, we have measured two important epigenetic modifications like CpG methylation and histone modifications in cancer and non-cancer disease genes and observed that the cancer genes have relatively lower level of methylation (68.13%) as compared to non-cancer disease genes (82.94%) (Significant at 99% level, McCullum Proportion test).
The Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) was originally developed to measure five important health outcomes in patients with chronic diseases [ 1, 2].
