To provide better quantification of canopy structure, we used airborne LiDAR imagery to identify canopy cover in different height strata and the size and frequency of gaps that were associated with owl nest sites, protected activity centers (PACs), and territories within four study areas and 316 owl territories.
However, the inclusion of kinetic PET data will likely give rise to a better quantification of VAP-1 expression in local tissues.
Potential improvements in the technique that would lead to a better quantification of tNAA and include a higher field strength (3 T), better shimming and a greater acquisition matrix size to reduce the point spread function (PSF), may also contribute to reduce the variability in tNAA concentration.
These investigations are designed to achieve a better quantification of supported 226Ra activities in the separated samples, enabling the use of excess 226Ra (226Raex) in marine barite as a tool for dating Holocene sediments.
To get a better quantification of the lung phenotype, we first examined the level of apoptosis in lung tissues using a TUNEL apoptosis kit.
It is therefore apparently insufficient to select AO for further drug development based on Nested-PCR alone in myoblast culture and desirable to search for culture systems with higher sensitivity and better quantification to evaluate exon skipping efficiency [32].
The fragments with [M+H]+ 1142.63 and 1593.75 displayed higher MS signals (Tables 1 & 2), better linear regression with respect to their isotopes, and better quantification accuracy (% RE, relative error) and precision (% coefficient of variation, CV) compared to the fragments with [M + H]+ 1317.66 and 2003.98 (Tables S1 and S2 of the Supporting Information).
We need to develop standardised protocols for better quantification of biomarkers [ 179], especially optimised methods of sample collection/storage to ensure that unstable or transient biomarkers (such as phosphoproteins or histone marks) are retained.
Red emitting 655 nm QDs were considered in this study because of their better fluorescence quantum yield compared to that of IR QDs (fluorescence quantum yield) allowing better quantification with regard to detection level of spectroscopic tools.
The contribution of biogenic VOC (BVOC) emissions to regional ozone formation needs better quantification so that air quality regulators can effectively design emission control strategies.
