This model had already been validated in a previous study.
The nationwide incidence of SUDS in the Philippines was measured using a questionnaire, validated in a previous study versus autopsy.
The line contact model was developed and validated in a previous work (Advances in Engineering Software, 2013; 56:51−62013
The CT-corrected emission images were compared with images reconstructed using 99mTc TCT-based attenuation maps, which have been validated in a previous article [10].
The CFD model was validated in a previous work and was applied to verify its capabilities in reproducing very low Reynolds number flows as well.
The model, physical parameters and transport properties used had been experimentally validated in a previous work, operating with a particle bed reverse flow reactor.
Five CT scoring systems have been validated in a previous study [39] and, despite differences in scoring and weighting, the authors found no differences in the scoring systems' ability to track disease progression in 48 children [40, 41].
We assumed that a workday reduced by half or more is equivalent to working for half of a usual workday, an estimate that was validated in a previous diary study [20].
A 10-min blank scan and a 15-min TCT scan, used as references for CT-AC, were performed using a TCT system validated in a previous work [10].
This also allows a reduction of the Cu/Ca molar ratio in the bed to a value of around 2. A dynamic reactor model partially validated in a previous work was used to simulate in detail a complete cycle of the CaCu loping process under large-scale conditions.
The pneumonia diagnoses recorded in the NHR were validated in a previous report [7].
