For example, if you show signs of aheart attacklike chest pain, the doctor may suggest a CPK enzyme test along with others. Your CK-MB levels as well as the way your CPK levels rise and fall could help the doctor diagnose if it's actually a heart attack. Since creatine phosphokinase i...
What to measure? is a key question in nanoscience, and it is not straightforward to address as different physicochemical properties define a nanoparticle sample. Most prominent among these properties are size, shape, surface charge, and porosity. Today researchers have an unprecedented variety of meas...
With this in mind, efforts have been made to develop digital PCR-based methods to measure HIV DNA and RNA, as digital PCR is by definition an absolute DNA quantitation method that does not require a standard curve (see the review of Rutsaert et al. in this Special Issue [123]). For H...
This chapter summarizes the methodological issues and empirical findings on the acuity of perception of interoceptive information, dubbed interoceptive accuracy. Both homeostatic (classic visceroceptive channels, thermosensation, itch, pain, affective to
Sumo Logic’s Software Development Optimization solution now empowers you to measure the time your team’s spend coding, reviewing, and delivering software so that your teams can better identify cross-team bottlenecks and measure how effectively they practice small batch development and delivery. The...
This is an example of a sexually dimorphic outcome where the measure exists in two forms, one more prevalent in one sex vs the other (ie, females using a serial search strategy, males using a spatial navigation strategy in this test; Joel and McCarthy, 2016). Knowing this, you might ...
These two variables are closely related, but they do not measure the same thing. While the text allows knowing the tourist’s written and reflected opinion after the experience, the emotion transmitted in the photograph allows knowing the happiness felt at the moment the photo is taken, that ...
(CARD-SGS), which does not use quantitative PCR to directly measure CA RNA but rather estimates the frequencies of CA US RNA+ cells and RNA copy numbers per cell based on the assessment of a sequence match in the p6-PR-RT region of HIV (~ 1.3 kb). Briefly, SGS is performed on CA...

even though several review articles are available in the literature [5,7,12,16,17,18,19,20,21], many research questions surrounding the effectiveness of CCT still need to be addressed. For example, does the mode of muscle action (i.e., eccentric, isometric, concentric) moderate CCT effects...
