A chief limitation is the slow read time between measurements and the sensitivity of the sensor, resulting in difficulty with fast desensitizing receptor systems; yet with the judicious use of agents that maintain an active state and retard desensitization, this obstacle may be overcome and a suitable rank ordering of potency determined for agonists and antagonists.
In addition, FFQs are only suitable for ranking subjects rather than estimating the level of nutrient intake [ 14].
Our results suggest that the EPIC-PAQ, and the Cambridge index in particular, is suitable for ranking habitual physical activity of individuals across European populations.
Bradley et al. estimated the validity of parental measurements of infant size, using illustrated instructions and simple measuring tools, and they found that their tested methods were suitable for ranking individuals and for use in group-level analyses [ 20].
According to our experiments MADS' can not be recommended for the pure prediction of DS events, but we consider it highly suitable for ranking DS candidates because genes with a very low MADS' p value very likely show differential splicing.
Thus, FFQs generally have limited accuracy in quantifying energy intake and absolute intakes of macronutrients; however, they are suitable for ranking individuals based on dietary intake (42), and FFQs are the most feasible method for a survey of this size.
A total of 648 and 856 spring two-row barley cultivars were assembled to establish a multi-parent population that was suitable for ranking saccharification potential and for conducting genome-wide association studies (GWASs).
Additionally, as studies have generally used a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to assess F&V intake, which is suitable for ranking individuals according to their relative but not absolute intake (8), there is also an absence of research on the importance of meeting the five-a-day quantity recommendation for F&V intake.
The authors assessed the validity and reliability of these representative questions against physical activity reported on 3-day diaries and determined that although the absolute validity and reliability of the questions for estimating physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) was poor, the questionnaire would be suitable for ranking physical activity levels.
The traditional methods for ranking web pages are not suitable to rank scientific articles, since the traditional ranking algorithms (PageRank, Hits, Salsa and Ranknet to name a few) are based on the number of links to a web page.
