There is an increasing awareness on the importance of software measurement within the software engineering community, as well as the necessity of respecting the scientific basis of measurement. However there is little evidence for the latter as there is a tendency for researchers and practitioners to apply software metrics without a full awareness of what they mean. Coupling, which is the measu...

Widely used higher-dimensional Fourier transform (FT) NMR spectroscopy suffers from two major drawbacks: (i) The minimal measurement time of an N-dimensional FT NMR experiment, which is constrained by the need to sample N - 1 indirect dimensions, may exceed by far the measurement time required to achieve sufficient signal-to-noise ratios. (ii) The low resolution in the indirect dimensions sever...

Copy Abstract: The present work analyses the predictive validity of measures provided by several available self-report and indirect measurement instruments to assess risk propensity (RP) and proposes a measurement instrument using the Implicit Association Test: the IAT of Risk Propensity Self-Concept (IAT-RPSC), an adaptation of the prior IAT-RP of Dislich et al. Study 1 analysed the relationsh...

Tibial torsion, twisting of the tibia about its longitudinal axis, varies during development and early childhood. Knowledge of the normal range of tibial torsion at various ages and its accurate clinical measurement is important in the assessment of the extent of a torsional deformity. To evaluate tibial torsion a reliable technique for its measurement in vivo is therefore required. The aim of ...

Background and Purpose: Infarct volume is one of the common indexes for assessing the extent of ischemic brain injury following focal cerebral ischemia. Accuracy in the measurement of infarct volume is compounded by postischemic brain edema that may increase brain volume in the infarcted region. We evaluated the effect of brain edema on infarct volume determined by triphenyltetrazolium chloride...

sustainable range management needs the accurate estimation yield and determining of grazing capacity in rangelands. it is easy to obtain yield estimation with indirect methods. for this purpose, the relation between cover and forage yield of range species were studied in steppic rangelands of yazd. measurements of cover and forage yield were carried out with plot area and clipping and weighting...
