Other studies obtained quantitative data directly from the schlieren frames.
We present a novel, highly reproducible, user-independent technique for DaTSCAN analysis producing quantitative measures directly connected to striatum uptake and shape.
The incorporation of quantitative traits directly linked to ecosystem functioning, such as dung removal rates, may shed light on the real existence of redundant species and the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem processes.
For all these reasons, it is difficult to assess the quantitative information directly, and reference methods are required.
The main challenge ahead of KMC is to derive quantitative data directly comparable to experiments, an objective that seemed far-fetched just a few years ago.
Proportional breast density is a purely quantitative parameter, directly associated to the probability of a 'masking effect' (Egan and Mosteller, 1977), whereas Wolfe's classification is also based on morphological criteria predictive of dysplasia (Ciatto and Zappa, 1993).
To demonstrate that the increased apoptosis and proliferation defects observed in Trf1-deleted lung carcinomas were not due to shorter telomeres compared to the TRF1-proficient tumors, we determined telomere length by telomere quantitative FISH directly on lung carcinoma sections.
Although SELDI-TOF MS is not directly quantitative, it can detect changes in the relative abundance of proteins in a manner that compares favorably to quantitative methods such as latex agglutination or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
No quantitative study has directly assessed its influence on women's initiation of prenatal care (PNC).
For this investigation, X-ray rocking curve imaging (RCI) in transmission geometry, a directly quantitative version of monochromatic beam Bragg diffraction imaging ("topography") has been used.
