The risks associated with our approach for developing performance indicators fall into two categories: 1) those generic risks associated with the development of performance indicators for any system (e.g. perverse incentivisation, loss of rich narrative, etc).; and 2) those risks that occur specifically as a result of applying our particular method of indicator development.
We demonstrate that these two methods of dual-indicator sensor design give control over the response range of ionophore-based optical sensors and can extend the linear range span over what is possible with a single-indicator nanosensor.
We found that the method of estimating indicator power was sufficiently robust to quantitatively estimate the indicator value of abundant diatom species.
The measurement method of each indicator is also defined in this step.
This method of coding indicator variables reduces the number of interaction terms, and provides a 1 degree of freedom test statistic for any order interaction.
AGII is acute gastrointestinal illness for specific defination, see methods *Adjusted for presence of indicator bacteria.
This paper describes a comparative analysis of alternative methods of constructing composite indicators to measure the sustainability of the agricultural sector.
Criteria of reliability for an assessment of design solutions of structures are formulated, the general approaches to their determination are given on the basis of a probabilistic form of final element method and engineering method of reliability indicators determination.
Content analysis was selected because it is the most appropriate method of providing indicators of the explicit character of Nigerian media in addressing HIV/AIDS as a development problem.
In a systematic review, Kaltenthaler and colleagues [ 58] described 18 health indices culled from the literature from 1966 to 2000, and summarized information on their origin (US, UK, Canada, and Europe), characteristics, purpose, types of indicators, methods of aggregation, data sources, and validation.
