Image analysis of SACD is possible for the quantification of desquamation disorders.
Alternatively to this "active" assessment of the barrier, "passive" assessment of the barrier is possible by the quantification of luminal compounds such as endotoxins and bacterial fermentation in plasma as markers for barrier function integrity.
With the promise of additional maxicircle genome sequences on the horizon [ 31], extensive studies will be possible, allowing the quantification of the preliminary observations made with the three clade representatives used here.
Moreover it is the only possible approach for the quantification of trait purity in materials not formed of discrete particles (derived products, e.g. flour, extracts, etc)., as it could be in the next future for high value products derived from "pharma crops", or for the preparation of pure reference materials.
The use of reference genes is commonly accepted as the most reliable approach to normalize RT-qPCR data and reduce possible errors generated in the quantification of gene expression.
Among the several proposed methods [ 23, 24], internal control genes (reference genes), formerly called housekeeping genes, are most commonly used to normalize qPCR and to reduce possible errors generated in the quantification of gene expression [ 25].
An important issue to be considered while adopting several measurements is the quantification of possible relationships between them, which can be indicated by the Pearson correlation coefficients for all pairwise combinations of measures.
The determination of the RST means the quantification of the possible release of radionuclides from the plant (mostly from the containment) into the environment in case of a severe accident.
This algorithm accounts for each PCR exponential curve, making it is possible to have accurate values for the quantification of qRT-PCR.
For that purpose, event sequence diagrams (ESD) are being used as a replacement for event trees (ET) to model scenarios, and the quantification of events is possible through a set of quantification models familiar to engineers.
