Lethal scaring can potentially be one method, but currently little evidence exists about the effectiveness of the method.
RSA techniques with implantation of tantalum beads are an invasive method but currently the most precise method [ 20].
A national observatory system could also foster the public development and use of expensive technologies, such as lasers, which are used for a variety of neuroscience methods but are currently supplied by private companies, Yuste says.
Surveillance based on full-text electronic medical records has outperformed more widely used methods (18, 19 ), but currently these records exist for a minority of procedures.
In the building construction industry, building designers, contractors, and owners have developed methods to consider costs, but currently have few methods to effectively assess and control a building's life cycle energy and environmental impacts during the design phase.
Nutritional biomarkers can provide such methods, but there is currently no commonly accepted, validated biomarker of flavan-3-ol intake, which meets the recommendations of the 2010 IOM biomarker report [51].
Histological evaluation of patient tissues is a field that would likely benefit from improved quantitative measurement, but currently methods for accurate quantification are not readily available.
An array-based method that makes fewer assumptions has been suggested by our group previously [ 17], but currently no methods (besides perhaps whole genome sequencing) can be said to guarantee the accurate detection of a genetic modification without making any assumptions.
Accurate identification and genotyping of Avipoxvirus is critical to the study of this disease and how it interacts with other pathogens, but currently available methods rely on invasive sampling of pox-like lesions and may be especially harmful in smaller birds.
Test systems with whole animals provide the best prospects for identifying harmful factors quickly, but currently available methods used for testing agrochemicals and drugs need a thorough overhaul before they can provide a role model.
