Subsequently, each sample is rated qualitatively for which descriptors are present and quantitatively for the intensity of each descriptor.
Using a mixed-method descriptive design, semistructured interviews were conducted and behaviors' relevance was quantitatively rated by seven family caregivers of nonverbal patients with traumatic brain injury in the intensive care unit of a tertiary trauma center in Montreal, Canada.
In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) [ 6], a category of pervasive developmental disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) [ 7] has been converted to a new category of ASD in which ASD severity is quantitatively rated according to current difficulties.
Other somatic and behavioral variables were rating semi-quantitatively: 0 = no response/reaction, 1 = slight response/reaction, 2 = incomplete response/reaction, and 3 = a complete adult-like response.
All immunostained sections were semi-quantitatively rated as having no, only very occasional, mild, moderate or severe immunoreactivity.
All these variables are often rated dichotomously as present or absent (binary variables) or measured quantitatively, following specific scales.
The contributions of doctors and patients to the communication during consultations were observed and rated quantitatively by thirty internal medicine residents, 393 patients with different educational backgrounds and ten senior medical students.
More quantitatively, it is evident in the personal savings rate, which remains at a rock-bottom 3.1percentt.
The effect of enhancement of hydrogenating rates is quantitatively determined.
Corresponding corrosion ratios and corrosion rates are quantitatively calculated for comparison of the inhibition afforded by the chemical self-healing system.
Flame heat release rate is quantitatively measured using a photomultiplier with a 430 nm bandpass filter for observing CH∗ chemiluminescence which is simultaneously imaged with a phase-locked CCD camera.
