Furthermore, we assume that the fusion center uses a counting rule, thus it decides detection if at least K sensors/pairs become alarmed.
Our findings are consistent with other reports obtained from biochemical analyses that Dicer uses a 3' end counting rule and measures a distance of ∼22 nt from the 3'-terminus to cleave both strands of RNA, with 1- to 2-nt shifts in the preferred cleavage position [18], [66].
Thus, in this paper, we assume that the fusion center makes a final decision at time using the counting rule based on the received signals from all nodes at time and the previous available at the fusion center at time.
Measurements were taken on a bi-weekly interval on counts of the number of leaves (recorded for the first 6 months), girth measured at 5 cm from the surface using a vernier calipers height measured to apex leaf using a meter rule and counts of number of primaries for 1 year.
Six nigral sections (every sixth section) from each rat brain were chosen (ranging from approximately 4.5 to 6.0 mm posterior to bregma[24]) and the cells were counted bilaterally in a blinded fashion using unbiased counting rules.
Cell profiles were counted at a final screen magnification of × 1024 using a 2D counting frame and a simple, unbiased counting rule (Gundersen, 1977).
Subsequently, MNCs were counted using a microscope counting chamber.
Viable cells were counted using a Burker cell counting chamber.
Clinical scoring systems or clinical prediction rules are most likely to be useful if they are simple to remember and use, which suggests that few variables should be used preferably using a simple count of the predictive variables.
Right now, each side uses so-called counting rules to extrapolate from their adversary's delivery systems missiles or bombers to the number of actual nukes (e.g., that missile means this number of warheads).
