The quality of a probeset may depend on many quantities such as spatial arrangement on arrays, upper and lower threshold effects, etc.
Simulations are an integral part of population genetics because it is often difficult to obtain exact analytical expressions for many quantities of interest, such as likelihoods for sequence data under a given model.
Simple and intuitive approximations for many quantities of interest are obtained in limiting cases, such as weak migration, weak selection, weak or strong recombination.
This chapter provides a brief overview of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as a potential sensor and then reviews the properties of the FBG used in sensing of the many quantities it is capable of measuring; the chapter concludes with the recent progress and future prospects of the FBG in sensing.
The example of paratuberculosis in dairy herds has been explored, a disease for which there is considerable uncertainty in the values of many key quantities affecting the dynamics.
Possible design errors caused by ignoring the stochastic nature of many of these quantities are counteracted by safety factors.
Angle measurement is very useful for measurement of many non-electric quantities.
Isolated in the mid-Pacific, surrounded by waters of proverbial purity, Hawaiians have caught and eaten fish of many varieties in vast quantities ever since they first arrived here from the Marquesas Islands by canoe 1,500 years ago.
"The costs associated with printing small quantities of many different titles and of warehousing those many different titles and of fulfilling single-copy orders... are so onerous that it's not a model that I feel works for publishing today," said Terry Adams, the director of trade paperbacks at Little, Brown.
The present electronic age produces vast quantities of many digital document images such as technical articles, business letters and faxes.
