A sensitivity check has been conducted to illustrate how to verify the convergence of expert-judgment from different experts.
Quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) was calculated as 1/log(fasting insulin μU ml−1)+log(fasting glucose mg dl−1).
Shell first asked its major downstream operating companies to evaluate current strategies against two A-type scenarios, using the B2 scenario as a sensitivity check.
Katz A, Nambi SS, Mather K, Baron AD, Follmann DA, Sullivan G et al. Quantitative insulin sensitivity check index: a simple, accurate method for assessing insulin sensitivity in humans.
Fasting insulin levels declined by 38% (P=0.0001) while the glucose/insulin ratio increased by 72% (P=0.0001) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) increased by 8% (P=0.0001).
Reductions in homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (P <.01), CRP (P <.01), SAA (P <.01) and sICAM-1 (P <.05) were noted, as well as an increase in the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (P <.05).
The instrument performance evaluation involved optimizing instrument parameters followed by sensitivity check.
Although porosity appears to be high compared with measured reservoir porosity, a porosity sensitivity check was conducted and negligible changes in resulted stresses and strains were found.
As a third sensitivity check, we have run our analyses, in the same specifications as above, separately for people who were displaced before 2006 and those displaced thereafter.
The primary standard solution was prepared by appropriate dilution of 1,000 ppm standard solution in accordance with the selected wavelength and sensitivity check.
As a sensitivity check, we estimate a multinomial model which uses the local 1997 unemployment rate as a regressor (instead of the local 2007 unemployment rate) rather than an instrument for the 2007 rates.
