Type II error rates should be based on the number of organisms commonly found in a commercial aircraft cabin today that would give rise to false negatives (e.g., contaminants in the air could cause one or more biosensing modalities to be impaired even in the presence of the pathogen) relative to the sensor's detection threshold.
Multimodality molecular imaging combined of two or more modalities offers the possibility to minimize the potential drawbacks of using each imaging modality alone, to integrate modality-specific strengths, and to gain a more complete picture of graft behavior.
For existing noninvasive techniques, two or more modalities must be combined to achieve excellent anatomical details as well as molecular recognition.
124 Compared to viral delivery of the klotho gene in animals, administration of exogenous klotho protein is a safer, easier, and more direct modality to restore endocrine klotho deficiency.
Any lesion reported as malignant by one or more modality was presumed to represent a metastasis.
It should be noted that our approach can trivially be generalized to other conditions, such as more modalities of observation and selecting amongst <img src="http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/asset?id=info?doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0004205.e026.PNG" class= inline-graphic"/> options.
The principal motivation for the fusion approach is to exploit the benefits of two or more modalities in one hand and simultaneously suppressing disadvantages of those on the other.
A powerful way to combine synergistic advantages is to construct synthetic probes that can be imaged by two or more modalities (2− 4).
Moreover, due to the fact that classification occurs at such a low level, if one or more modalities are corrupted, then the entire system is affected.
Unlike unimodal neurons, which only respond to one stimulus modality (e.g., taste, sound, touch, sight, smell), multimodal neurons receive and integrate information from two or more modalities (Stein & Stanford, 2008).
