The surface energies of the hybrid gate dielectrics were quantified through calculation, based on the different polarities of deionized water and diiodomethane.
When the system parameters are known, or are treated as know uncertainty in the performance indices can be quantified through calculation of exact confidence intervals using results from mathematical statistics.
The affinity of each moAb for the antigen was quantified by calculation of the concentration of the antigen giving a 50% reduction of the peak signal in the ELISA (IC50).
Temperature compensation was quantified by calculation of Q10 with the following equation: Q10 = [(1/t2)/(1/t1)]10/(T2 – T1); where: t1 = period at the lower temperature (T1) and t2 = period at the higher temperature (T2; in this study, T1 = 24°C and T2 = 30°C).
Mortality discrimination was quantified by calculation of the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve.
Next, severity of obstruction is quantified by calculation of FEV1 as percentage of predicted value.
The geometric complexity of the retinal vasculature can be quantified through calculation of fractal dimension from digital retinal images.
The respective amounts of mAb monomer, aggregates and fragments were quantified by calculation of the peak areas detected by the ultraviolet (UV) detectors.
The degree of fit was quantified by calculation of root mean square (RMS) distances between modelled frequencies for sequences of different G+C contents and those of a sample of actual sequences.
Agreement was quantified by calculation of the mean differences between the observers and the standard deviation (SD) of this difference and the limits of agreement, defined as the mean difference ± 1.96*SD of this difference.
