In testing terminology, the aftershocks comprise the 'test group,' and the background shocks the 'control group.' What is important is the percentage gain in positively-stressed aftershocks relative to the background shocks, with the background shocks selected to match the geographic area and depth range as the aftershocks.
Unfortunately, most of the research study results reported are not comparable due to variability in the palpatory tests, terminology, research design, methodology and statistical analysis utilized.
This has led to recent standards for testing and terminology related to fretting fatigue in Japan, the USA/Canada (ASTM), and France.
It is currently extremely difficult to test different terminologies among women diagnosed with DCIS (outside a clinical trial of watchful waiting for DCIS) since this needs to be a treatment option supported by clinicians.
This includes fact-based tests on terminology, prevalence, causes, diagnosis, etiology, prognosis, consequences, and course of illness; and knowledge about recognition, support, employment, treatment/help-seeking/controllability, and recovery/coping, etc. (e.g. [ 29, 32, 33, 41, 79, 161– 161]).
Learning outcomes were measured by means of a verbal factual knowledge test about the terminology and visuospatial details and a pictorial recognition test about the dynamic processes.
Specific research aims were defined for these topics and for overarching issues to be addressed, including the use of standardized terminology, test materials, and better experimental models to aid in data extrapolation to humans.
This is called a 'home vs away' test in the terminology used to describe reciprocal transplant experiments (Kawecki and Ebert 2004); such tests have been used to describe species' niches and the way they are affected by global warming (Rehfeldt et al. 2002).
Implications are then discussed concerning the teaching and testing of medical terminology based on unfamiliar terms.
