Given the two participant groups for interviews differed by language only, this sample size was determined to be reasonable to meet study objectives [16, 21, 23], and to reach saturation for qualitative assessment [24].
The experiments of the in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence of PS II (Photosystem II) determination were carried out on Imaging-PAM (Heinz Walz, Effeltrich, Germany), using the automated induction and recovery curve routine provided by the ImagingPam software, with the repetitive application of saturation pulses for assessment of fluorescence.
The resistivity profile along the core length enables assessment of saturation distribution and end effects.
For validation, the feasibility study shows the expert input has reached more than 70% saturation for all feasibility assessment factors, except technical aspects of the factor project potential for extension, which has received 45% saturation.
The length of the period considered for trend assessment, the saturation and hysteresis effect of some ionosphere parameters, and the solar EUV proxy used are also considered in this study in order to quantify a possible spurious trend that may result as a by-product of a filtering process.
The length of the period considered for trend assessment, the saturation and hysteresis effect of some ionosphere parameters, and the solar EUV proxy used are also considered in this study in order to quantify a possible nonreal trend that may result as a by-product of a filtering process in comparison to the trends expected in the upper atmosphere as a consequence of anthropogenic effects.
After clinical assessment, oxygen saturation (Sp02) was measured by a handheld PO device (Rad-5v, Masimo Corporation) according to a standardized protocol.
Neither assessment reaches saturation of receptor phosphorylation (see point 1 above), and the trends with ligand concentration look very similar as far as they go.
