The facial expression of pain is a multidimensional response system that differentially encodes affective and sensory pain qualities.
Finally, a dynamic Kriging-based optimization approach constructs a multidimensional response surface using sparse input datasets; the response surface is then used to identify an optimal design.
Latent variable models allow for the analysis of multidimensional response variables that reveal the indicator's underlying relationship that are caused by the latent variables.
Here we combine both approaches, developing multidimensional response surfaces for NPP based on the longest-running, best-replicated, most-multifactor global-change experiment at the ecosystem scale-a 17-y study of California grassland exposed to full-factorial warming, added precipitation, elevated CO2, and nitrogen deposition.
Our approach used a multidimensional response surface design to study the effects of temperature and salinity on sublethal measures of oyster performance: (1) body condition index as an overall indicator of bioenergetic status and (2) the RNA/DNA ratio as a biochemical indicator of cellular stress.
In the international literature caregiver burden is perceived as a multidimensional response to stressors associated with care giving.
19 20 Thus, the requirement to achieve four primary end points within the multidimensional response definition proposed in this study represented a significant challenge.
According to Wedenig the follow up report to the UN Secretary-General's Global Study on Violence against Children recently made public, marks a turning point in the multidimensional response on violence against children and looks at bringing an end to adult justification of violence against children.
In reaching this milestone, we can write a new chapter in the history of global health, demonstrating that a robust, multidimensional response can succeed against a complex pandemic that presents as many social and political challenges as it does medical ones.
It is worthwhile highlighting here that the model actually finds optimal state-dependent phenotypes and therefore incorporates explicitly both plasticity and evolution by considering the long-term evolution of plastic responses or multidimensional reaction norms.
