These methods typically use historical or stochastically-generated rainfall patterns to quantify system performance and optimally size the system, with the latter accounting for possible rainfall scenarios based on statistical relationships of historical rainfall patterns.
In addition, we recorded movies (Supplemental Videos 1 and 2) of bed bug feeding and defecation patterns to quantify the potential of stercorarian (feces-mediated) transmission of T. cruzi.
To assess these linkages for coarse-sediment shorelines, we used a spatially nested sampling design to quantify patterns of distribution and abundance of both macroinfauna and macroepibiota.
Using neural pattern classifiers to quantify the modularity of conflict-control mechanisms in the human brain.
We used replicated spatial point pattern analysis to quantify relationships between recruit clustering and cohort, defaunation intensity, each tree species reliance on hunted dispersers and the interactions among these three covariates.
To understand the crack propagation patterns and to quantify the resulting strain fields, digital image correlation (DIC) technique was employed.
Specifically, the new approach uses hybridization patterns (fingerprints) to quantify specific nucleic acid targets in complex target mixtures.
It is further applied to study the power transmitted at the interface, making it possible to identify the direction associated to the dominant power flow patterns and to quantify their contributions.
Nonetheless, to inflict or restrict self-initiated health care strategies or utilisation patterns, or to quantify and distinguish between placebo or non-specific effects of attention from more specific effects of e.g. isolated CT technologies or procedures, future studies would have to use more explanatory designs.
Overall, FRAGSTAT, which is a spatial pattern analysis program to quantify landscape structure, has been widely used by several scholars (McGarigal and Marks 1994; Li et al. 2001; DiBari 2007; Sidiropoulou et al. 2015).
