Indeed, in a recent prospective, randomised, cross-over design of 655 women enrolled in a study on hormonal contraceptive use with ACASI and FtF-interview in Zimbabwe, ACASI yielded higher reports on several reproductive health behaviours but discrepancies between self-reports and clinical data highlighted persistent measurement challenges [21].
As an example, a challenge of the case study on POPs [ 6] was the development of conversion factors to facilitate combined analyses with persistent organic pollutant measurements performed in different media.
With the non-persistent measurement data, a linear predictor is designed to provide the reference signal in the adaptive filter.
Persistent PSC measurement challenges mean that continued efforts are required to strengthen existing models and measures.
In the present study, the longitudinal analysis of a cohort of children examined in 2003 and 2010 showed that the presence of wheezing disorders (wheezing or asthma attack) at the time of both measurements (persistent phenotype) was associated with a smaller increase in forced flows (particularly FEF25 75).
The concept of set-invariance is applied to the design of full-order state observers with limitation of the estimation error, for discrete-time linear systems subject to unknown but bounded persistent disturbances and measurement noise.
The secondary outcome measurements included persistent leakage on FFA and ICGA.
These studies have estimated the maternal exposure from geographical areas [ 26, 27], farm residence [ 28], by measurements of persistent pesticides in breast milk [ 29] or occupation [ 30].
Patients were stratified as normoalbuminuric if they, in two out of three consecutive measurements, had persistent normoalbuminuria with UAER <30 mg/24 h and were considered microalbuminuric or macroalbuminuric if UAER was between 30 and 300 mg/24 h or >300 mg/24 h, respectively.
A method, based on the measurement of persistent low magnetic field near the surface of high-Tc superconducting tape was proposed.
