Consequently, it is likely that the cumulative impact of screening, assessment, simple feedback, and the delivery of written information may have overwhelmed the additional input of five minutes of structured brief advice both in terms of elapsed time and the number of distinct behaviour change techniques used.
Each technique defines a limited number of distinct subdivisions, which although different, overlap when techniques are compared.
The use of SMALPs for structure determination by electron microscopy has a number of distinct advantages over conventional detergent-based techniques.
Colour quantisation is a common image processing technique to reduce the number of distinct colours in an image.
This technique first determines the number of distinct trajectories via polynomial functions in time using a censored normal distribution.
Current steering and current focusing are stimulation techniques designed to increase the number of distinct perceptual channels available to cochlear implant (CI) users by adjusting currents applied simultaneously to multiple CI electrodes.
It requires expert input only where the number of distinct objects contained in each sample is concerned and uses two techniques to reduce human interaction, namely (i) sample use and (ii) similarity cluster process.
LCGM is a relatively new statistical technique used to analyze heterogeneity in the time course of, for example, DR. The underlying aim of the technique is to model this heterogeneity by identifying k number of distinct developmental patterns of DR called "clusters".
So Gregory Wilson, a vertebrate paleontologist at the University of Washington, Seattle, and colleagues turned to a technique called orientation patch count, which involves counting the total number of distinct surfaces on the cheek teeth of the lower jaw.
In performing these studies, ESI was found to identify a greater number of distinct chemical species in the samples under investigation when compared to the employed MALDI technique, suggesting that the utilisation of ESI must be strongly considered in polymer mechanistic investigations if the maximum number of end-group functionalities within a given polymer sample are to be identified.
