The trade-offs in designing valid and reliable benefit transfer studies with transferable results are discussed.
The MDSP model improves significantly the nitrogen adsorption porosimetry and, being fully atomistic, it is transferable to study various adsorbate-adsorbent systems.
A PCR strategy that targets diverse items and is transferable across study systems would be desirable in many situations.
While we believe an attempt to adjust for non-blinding is appropriate, we urge caution in relying on these adjusted estimates since the basis for the adjustment is from clinical (mainly drug) studies that may not be transferable to field studies of environmental interventions and because methodology for the adjustment has not been validated.
Although similar in experimental approach, this method is not transferable to studies of other animal diets as the region targeted is too large to amplify reliably from scat DNA and the applicability of the restriction digestion system was not assessed for other situations.
Approximately 57% of the markers on the map were of the SSR type, which are likely to be transferable to studies involving other Brassica species and populations.
The data supporting the proposition that IPL influences IPP to create sustained systems change is weak and diffuse, and the evidence largely comprises non-transferable case study, survey and other limited data [ 29, 30].
Remembering that the HOMA equation for estimating insulin resistance was derived for use in fasting humans, it is not simply transferable to studies in rodents or to dynamic changes during a glucose tolerance test (19 )!
Among such transferable research work are studies related to the problem of capacity allocation and flow assignment in self-healing ATM networks.
Thus the evidence of how ICT can support and drive innovative work practice change is generally weak and comes largely from non-transferable case studies of single organisations[ 16, 21, 49].
