The degree of relevance of the use of mechanical parameters depends on the microbiological issue (cf. “Biofilms mechanics: a microbiological significance”). Thus the characterization of the mechanical properties of a biofilm must begin with a clear definition of the microbiologist’s objectives. For...

Computing spectral indices In Python, a single string expression can be evaluated asf(E,P), wherefis the evaluation function,Eis the expression to evaluate, andPis a dictionary of local variables that serve as inputs for undefined variables inE. Since\({E}_{\psi }\in {A}_{\psi }\)is ...
PURPOSE The measurement of tumor metabolism is commonly expressed in terms of its maximum standardized uptake value (SUV). However, the measured SUV over time can change because of non-metabolic variables such as time from tracer injection to scan time or recent diet. Lesion to hepatic SUV ratio...
Due to a small sample size (n = 29) of primary tumors treated by radio(chemo-)therapy, a possible predictive value of CPS and TPS was not evaluated by logistic regression but by correlation of bicategorical variables, approximately. Treatment response was assessed according to RECIST 1.1 ...
The choice will be a compromise between achieving acceptable precision, the variables and/or species of interest, and the need to manage costs [31,55]. Figure 7. (A) Proportion of the theoretical SR-station depending on the duration and the number of video recorded within the studied area....
Crude mortality measures are generally accepted as a poor measure of quality since they do not take into account variables such as case-mix, patient co-morbidities and disease severity. Correcting for these variables and therefore ‘standardizing’ a unit'smortality rateis vital if mortality is to...
additionally use the NIR band aiming to discriminate better between snow cover and water bodies. This is also the case of Urban and Soil Indices. The Urban Index (UI)32, developed to map urban areas and investigate urban density and socio-economic variables, was constructed using images from ...
