The developments we have made can drastically rebalance the time distribution of scientists examining the structures of complex materials, away from monotonous, repetitive, operator-biased modalities of image processing towards interpretation of vast, rich quantitative results.
"I think our ability to collect vast amounts of quantitative physiological data on individuals over time marks the beginning of a transformation in medicine and health," Kevin Hall, who runs a biological-modelling lab at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, said in an e-mail.
These vast amounts of quantitative genomic data have led to qualitative progress in our biomedical understanding.
Until the development of the BARO, a standardized screening instrument was not available for CPB workers, resulting in a vast qualitative and quantitative variety of reports.
The vast majority of quantitative studies that include distance report less use of skilled attendance at delivery in women living far away from a facility.
Genotype by environment interactions are observed in the vast majority of quantitative trait mapping studies, emphasizing the need for conducting studies over multiple environments.
High-throughput methods for biological measurements generate vast amounts of quantitative data, which necessitate the development of advanced approaches to data analysis to help understand the underlying mechanisms and networks.
The analysis in this section is meant as a small complement to the vast literature on quantitative trait loci (QTL) and the role of epistasis in settings other than the dose-response framework.
To date, a vast number of quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to anxiety-like behaviors has been reported in mice and rats by using F2 intercross, N2 backcross, recombinant inbred strains, and heterogeneous stocks (Flint 2002, 2003; Valdar et al. 2006).
Of the 57 primary articles, the vast majority used a quantitative approach (n = 47, 82%), some used mixed methods (n = 9, 16%), and only one was purely qualitative (2%).
