Based on a qualitatively characterised hydrogeological situation of atolls and relatively scarce site-specific data, a model chain was developed to conservatively estimate the radionuclide fluxes via groundwater, from their sources, the explosion cavities, towards the biosphere, the ocean or lagoon.
Each association was qualitatively characterised by a synthesis of the data from each analysis based upon study design, adequacy of covariate adjustment and quality scoring.
Although there are studies that qualitatively characterise soil minerals using DRS, few studies quantify their composition in soil.
On the contrary, when both microscopic and macroscopic models are available, then it is rather important to know how these are connected and qualitatively and quantitatively characterise this connection.
Their mixing effectiveness was characterised qualitatively by a study of the flow patterns generated within the vessel, and quantitatively by a statistical analysis of the trajectories of the Lagrangian tracer tracked over a test period of about an hour.
The change in the precipitate distribution due to the welding cycle has been characterised qualitatively by using scanning electron microscopy and Vickers hardness mapping and quantitatively by using small-angle X-ray scattering.
While double loop learning requires a qualitative change, a new stage characterised by qualitatively new content, and the result is professional development [ 34].
Autism has traditionally been conceptualised as a qualitatively distinct behavioural syndrome, characterised by impairments in social interaction and communication coupled with restricted, repetitive or stereotyped patterns of behaviour, interests and activities [1], [2].
We predict that: 1) language-discrepant situations will be characterised by communicative interactions that are both qualitatively and quantitatively poorer than language-congruent situations; and 2) these differences will be greater the lower the proficiency in the L2, and the more crucial the need for accurate communication of risk.
In the fifth, and final experiment, we show that the illusion reported here is qualitatively different from the traditional rubber hand illusion as it is characterised by less disownership of the real hand and a stronger feeling of having two right hands.
The Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile provides a unified, reliable instrument for both clinical and laboratory research http://ow.ly/Ix8ic Dyspnoea is characterised as "a subjective experience of breathing discomfort that consists of qualitatively distinct sensations that vary in intensity [and] vary in their unpleasantness and in their emotional and behavioral significance" [ 1].
