For this reason, we view EPSP measurements as a more direct measure of the receptivity of neurons to incoming inputs.
Well, there's a more direct measure of volatilitynamely, standard deviation of daily (or weekly or monthly) returns.
The unemployment rate is perhaps a more direct measure of cyclicality, reflecting the ease or difficulty in finding a job.
But the fluorescence map, an unexpected secondary capability, provides a more direct measure of carbon fluxes: the amount mopped up by plants during photosynthesis or released during respiration.
A dummy variable credit represents difficulty in accessing credit in addition to the more direct measure of price of capital (P K ).
There are many advantages of the active technique such as a shortened count time and a more direct measure of 235U content.
Whereas the unemployment and employment growth measures reflect both labor demand and supply, a measure of job advertisements (vacancies) is arguably a more direct measure of labor demand, albeit one influenced by labor supply (worker availability).
In addition to being an additional window on underlying proficiency, the inclusion of the response time condition discouraged strategic and reflective processing on the part of the students, thus providing a more direct measure of vocabulary knowledge.
As Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is sensitive to the structural properties of forests it can be thought of as a more direct measure of forest biomass than the passive optical alternatives [8, 13, 14].
Finally, the estimation of pedestrian energy exchange by street geometry is refined to include the effects of humidity and evaporative heat loss along with radiation and convection, and results are used to correlate between physiological energy exchange and thermal sensation, which is a more direct measure of human thermal comfort.
Our approach of measuring the improvement afforded by averaging multiple estimates with variable intervening delay is thus a more direct measure of the outcome of interest.
