The initial potential rates of C Co ×× kC) or N (No × kN) mineralization tended to be lower in RT and were found to be more suitable indicators to differentiate tillage effects.
Considering that Hirsch's indexes are more suitable indicators of performance than CpP, we conclude that Latin American CBP researchers, despite handicaps, perform similarly to those in developed countries.
However, there may be slightly different effects if weight for height z-scores or weight for age z-scores are used among young children, which are more suitable indicators in this age group.

Based on these criteria as well as the selection mechanisms by Alkire (2008) and Biggeri (2007), one or more suitable indicators were selected for the case of Vietnam, presented in Table 2.
51 Further data are required from studies with longer durations of follow-up in late life, and more suitable weight indicators are needed for the elderly.
Individual in situ measurements would be more suitable exposure indicators, provided that they were standardized, accurate and precise measurements, and that no selection bias (and no participation bias) limited their interpretation.
Nonetheless, we have not dismissed the possibility that other organisms may be equally or more suitable as an indicator species.
