The use of systematic area-selection procedures to design protected areas can help optimize conservation actions.
Sleep has intrigued scientists for a long time, but only within the last fifty years or so has it become a systematic area of study.
The Health Omnibus Survey is an annual, face-to-face, cross-sectional, whole-of-population multi-stage, systematic area sampling survey where respondents are interviewed in their own homes.
A multi-stage, systematic area sampling method is used; annual survey results are standardised against weighted population-based norms to accommodate random imbalances in sampling.
Data were collected from adult South Australians in 2007 and 2008 (n = 5331) as part of a face-to-face, cross-sectional, whole-of-population, multi-stage, systematic area sampling population health survey.
Given the resulting set of 280 networks, we evaluate the network clustering performance of a given network distance measure using a systematic area under precision— recall curve (AUPR) framework.
The method applied here opens the scope to document impact and intensity of ash fallout in areas where systematic field work is not possible and to support recovery plans for populations affected by ash fallout.
Four explanatory variables were evaluated for systematic effects: AREA (a factor with a level for each source area), BRAIN (the individual from which the counts were obtained), DYE (a 2-level factor indicating the tracer used), and HEMISPHERE (the hemisphere of the injection).
The aim of the FLS is to provide a characteristic "first-look" at the mid-and far-infrared sky at sensitivities that allow the detection of point sources ≈100 times fainter than those in previous systematic large-area surveys.
Systematic selected-area diffraction revealed that there were two kinds of superlattice reflections in the pseudocubic reciprocal lattice, i.e. 12 superlattice reflections (h, k, l all odd), and g±17.24∗∗ one-dimensional incommensurate superlattice reflections, where g denotes the vectors of fundamental or 12 superlattice reflections.
