Evaluation of the Biological Sampling Kit (BiSKit) for large-area surface sampling.
Current surface sampling methods for microbial contaminants are designed to sample small areas and utilize culture analysis. The total number of microbes recovered is low because a small area is sampled, making detection of a potential pathogen more difficult. Furthermore, sampling of small areas requires a greater number of samples to be collected, which delays the reporting of results, taxes ...
متن کاملCalculation of surface tension via area sampling.
We examine the performance of several molecular simulation techniques aimed at evaluation of the surface tension through its thermodynamic definition. For all methods explored, the surface tension is calculated by approximating the change in Helmholtz free energy associated with a change in interfacial area through simulation of a liquid slab at constant particle number, volume, and temperature...
متن کاملASK: Adaptive Sampling Kit for Performance Characterization
Characterizing performance is essential to optimize programs and architectures. The open source Adaptive Sampling Kit (ASK) measures the performance trade-offs in large design spaces. Exhaustively sampling all points is computationally intractable. Therefore, ASK concentrates exploration in the most irregular regions of the design space through multiple adaptive sampling methods. The paper pres...
متن کاملAddress-based Area Sampling: An Efficient Hybrid between Address-based Sampling and Area Sampling
Cost savings in area sampling (AS) due to use of address-based sampling (ABS) frame for listing addresses without making field visits are appealing but may lead to coverage bias due to problems in implementing it because some addresses, such as P.O. boxes and rural routes, cannot be linked to housing units (HU). In an analogous manner, cost savings in ABS due to telephone interviewing instead o...
متن کاملEvaluation Accuracy of Nearest Neighbor Sampling Method in Zagross Forests
Collection of appropriate qualitative and quantitative data is necessary for proper management and planning. Used the suitable inventory methods is necessary and accuracy of sampling methods dependent the inventory net and number of sample point. Nearest neighbor sampling method is a one of distance methods and calculated by three equations (Byth and Riple, 1980; Cotam and Curtis, 1956 and Cota...
