Optical imaging has a high molecularly sensitivity, but it provides lesser anatomical localization and is mainly used in small animals.
Conditioning of adverse physiological effects of airborne chemicals may play a vital role in the etiology of chemical sensitivity, and it provides a rigorous laboratory model by which to investigate some aspects of this elusive phenomenon.
A direct design has higher sensitivity since it provides better approximations of standard errors in comparison with the more common reference design, but the latter reference design allows more flexibility in downstream analysis [ 28].
However, at the current state of technology development, combinatorial encoding does seem the preferable strategy for high-throughput T cell detection, both because of its higher sensitivity and because it provides a solution to the issue of sample size.
The MS MS ion preparation mode was selected due to the high sensitivity and selectivity it provides.
The current trend in nuclear medicine is, however, in favor of PET instead of SPECT due to the higher sensitivity and resolution it provides [17].
The use of filters does decrease sensitivity somewhat, but it provides ~30-fold speed improvements (Nawrocki et al., 2009).
It provides sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values, and the area under ROC gives a goodness of fit measure of a test [ 13, 14, 16, 17].
Importantly, from an economic point of view, the combined measurement of PON1 activity and NEFA concentration would be useful for diagnosing cows with fatty liver as it provides sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, +LR, -LR, DOR and overall diagnostic accuracy comparable to that produced by the combination of NEFA, BHBA, AST, LCAT, total cholesterol, and PON1.
When the sensitivity speck is large enough, it provides a point of attack for the developer, which can then reduce the whole silver halide crystal to silver.
