In agreement, we have previously evidenced a strong integration between occluding teeth in house mice using a quantitative comparison of upper and lower molar shape [26].
The resulting ground truth baseline is then used for quantitative comparison of several boundary detection methods including a local application of the image region adjacency analysis and the computation of the local convex hull with the addition of a perturbation value to overcome small boundary concavities in the node location point set.
We have also shown that automated quantification of the DNA content of kinetoplasts and nuclei from color-deconvolved images can be used for quantitative comparison of multiple samples.
The ratio of the maximum transport rate, Vmax and the substrate affinity, Km, has, despite some shortfalls been widely used as an overall measure of enzymatic performance [ 21, 22], and was used here for quantitative comparison of the different transporters (Table 2).
It should be noted that because the relative affinities of the lectins to their targeted glycans may differ, comparing the intensity of staining between the MAA and SNA cannot be used as a quantitative comparison of the relative SAα2 3Gal and SAα2 6Gal expressions.
Because of the limitations of field experiments; such as limited measuring methods, unstable environmental conditions, time consumption and labour; computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used for quantitative comparisons of PBR designs with the aim of designing a bubble-column PBR that can be economically used for the mass cultivation of microalgae.
The authors conclude by pointing out that BARTSL scores could be used for quantitative comparisons of teachers' beliefs and stances about reform-minded science teaching and learning and for following changes over time.
The mixed-methods study has two components: First, a longitudinal study using quantitative measures of primary caregivers' and matched comparisons' general health, emotional distress, and quality of life pre-and post-bereavement, in order to determine the changes over time, and how the recently bereaved caregivers' distress compares with the matched comparisons.
This section provides detailed information about the set of metrics that have been used to perform a quantitative comparison of the results obtained by the devised method with observations by non-expert subjects, as well as with judgments by expert subjects and with the outcomes of the automatic tool proposed by Li et al. [9].
Using the Modified Hausdorff Distance, quantitative comparison of modeled sea surface salinity contours to contours of a gridded satellite-derived ocean color product is made under the assumption that the modeled fields are related to optically significant quantities that indicate the spatial extent of riverine influenced water.
