Contact-level-hours per-person-per-day combines both the quality and quantity of contact and is our best estimation of potential influenza transmission within a group or public activity.
Within groups, primary links which are both close (less than 3 ft) and extended in time (at least several minutes) were identified and characterized to yield the quality and quantity of contact (contact-level-hours) within each group.
Thus, the cytokine storm as observed in HLH likely depends on both quantity and quality of contacts formed between cytotoxic cells and APCs.
These conditions of the sensor sintering did not probably lead to formation of sufficient quantity of the contacts between particles of the material to allow passage of electric current through the sensor.
Several lawmakers pointed directly to the quantity of constituent contacts as a primary reason for changing their vote.
However, adult-young ratios significantly influenced neither spatial partner preference (i.e. number of preferred spatial partners, see methods), nor quantity of positive contacts, nor distribution in the other distance classes (Kendall partial coefficient: p>0.05 in all cases).
And with only 24 teaching weeks in the average university year, the quantity and quality of contact time a student gets with academics is regarded as a key indicator of value for money.
Whilst physical closeness is easily accessible and natural between healthy new-borns and their parents, NICU geography may disrupt the quantity and quality of contact that parents' and infants' experience.
In the combined contact-hours (quantity) and contact-level (quality) measure of contact-level-hours, we have used a simple product that incorporates the expected trend in the potential for influenza transmission.
