Comparison of four methods for the determination of plasma pepsinogen concentration
(1995-11)Four methods for estimating plasma pepsinogen concentrations were compared to determine the most suitable for routine use. Three of the methods were colorimetric assays which used glycine-buffered albumin, albumin, or ... -
A comparison of fuzzy strategies for corporate acquisition analysis
(2007)Analysing all prospective companies for acquisition in large market sectors is an onerous task. A strategy that results in a shortlist of companies that meet certain basic criteria is required. The short-listed companies ... -
Comparison of Gaeumannomyces- and Phialophora-like fungal pathogens from maize and other plants using DNA methods
(1999-02)Several DNA-based techniques, developed for identifying and differentiating fungi in the Gaeumannomyces-Phialophora complex associated with cake-all diseases of cereals and grasses, were used to compare fungi from maize. ... -
Comparison of in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of trauma patients in Qatar
(2022-09-16)Background: Cardiac arrests in admitted hospital patients with trauma have not been described in the literature. We defined “in-hospital cardiac arrest of a trauma” (IHCAT) patient as “cessation of circulatory activity in ... -
Comparison of Individual Penalties According to Gender and Weight Categories of Elite Judo Athletes from Four World Championships
(2022-08-29)Background: This research aimed to compare individual penalties by gender and weight categories in judo from the Judo World Championships (WC): Budapest—2017, Baku—2018, Tokyo—2019 and Budapest—2021 in all individual weight ... -
Comparison of intra-accumbens injection of histamine with histamine H1-receptor antagonist chlorpheniramine in effects on reinforcement and memory parameters
(2001)Histaminergic neurons are located exclusively in the tuberomammillary nuclei (TM) of the hypothalamus from where they project to many regions of the brain including the basal ganglia. Earlier experiments led to the hypothesis ... -
Comparison of ivermectin, oxfendazole and levamisole for use as anthelmintics during the periparturient period in sheep
(1988)Ewes synchronised with progestin impregnated sponges to reduce the spread of lambing were treated during the periparturient period with anthelmintic. The suppression of nematode egg output in faeces was measured in ewes ... -
Comparison of Leptosphaeria biglobosa-induced and chemically induced systemic resistance to L-maculans in Brassica napus
(2007-04)Brassica napus (cv. Madrigal) seedlings pre-treated with ascospores of Leptosphaeria biglobosa or foliar sprays of either acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) or menadione sodium bisulphite (MSB) were challenge inoculated with L. ... -
Comparison of Machine Learning Algorithms for Evaluating Building Energy Efficiency Using Big Data Analytics
(2022-09-26)Purpose: This study aims to compare and evaluate the application of commonly used machine learning (ML) algorithms used to develop models for assessing energy efficiency of buildings. Design/methodology/approach: This study ... -
A comparison of mean glandular dose diagnostic reference levels within the all-digital irish national breast screening programme and the Irish symptomatic breast services
(2013-03-01)Data on image quality, compression and radiation dose were collected from symptomatic breast units within the Republic of Ireland. Quantitative and qualitative data were analysed using SPSS. Recommendations of mean glandular ... -
Comparison of mechanical properties in interference screw fixation technique and organic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction method: a biomechanical study
(2021-12-20)Background Bone and Site Hold Tendon Inside (BASHTI) technique is an organic implant-less technique for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with some clinical advantages, such as speeding up the healing process, ... -
A comparison of methodologies for the staining and quantification of intracellular components of Arbuscular Mychorrizal (AM) fungi in the root cortex of two varieties of winter wheat
(2019-11-21)Arbuscular Mychorrizal (AM) fungi are one of the most common fungal organisms to exist in symbiosis with terrestrial plants facilitating the growth and maintenance of arable crops. Wheat has been studied extensively for ... -
A comparison of methods for measuring the colonisation of a root system by fluorescent Pseudomonads
(1989-05)Methods are described for measuring the colonisation of a radish (Raphanus sativus) root system by seedlings with rifampicin resistant fluorescent pseudomonads by dilution plating, and which would take account of differences ... -
A comparison of methods for traversing regions of non-convexity in optimization problems
(2019-11-13)This paper considers the well-known problem of dealing with non-convexity during the minimization of a non-linear function f(x) by Newton-like methods. The proposal made here involves a curvilinear search along an approximation ... -
A comparison of methods to assess the antimicrobial activity of nanoparticle combinations on bacterial cells
(2018-02-01)BACKGROUND: Bacterial cell quantification after exposure to antimicrobial compounds varies widely throughout industry and healthcare. Numerous methods are employed to quantify these antimicrobial effects. With increasing ... -
A comparison of methods to determine neuronal phase-response curves
(2010)The phase-response curve (PRC) is an important tool to determine the excitability type of single neurons which reveals consequences for their synchronizing properties. We review five methods to compute the PRC from both ... -
A comparison of methods to estimate anaerobic capacity: Accumulated oxygen deficit and W' during constant and all-out work-rate profiles.
(2017-12-02)This study investigated (i) whether the accumulated oxygen deficit (AOD) and curvature constant of the power-duration relationship (W') are different during constant work-rate to exhaustion (CWR) and 3-min all-out (3MT) ... -
