Comparative study of transient hydraulic tomography with varying parameterizations and zonations: Laboratory sandbox investigation
(Elsevier, 2017-11-01)Transient hydraulic tomography (THT) is a robust method of aquifer characterization to estimate the spatial distributions (or tomograms) of both hydraulic conductivity (K) and specific storage (Ss). However, the ... -
Comparing functional dynamic normalization methods to maximal voluntary isometric contractions for lower limb EMG from walking, cycling and running
(Elsevier, 2019-02)There is no consensus on the most appropriate method for normalizing an individual’s electromyography (EMG) signals from walking, cycling and running in the same data collection. The aim of this study was to compare how ... -
Comparing Influenza Vaccine Efficacy Against Mismatched And Matched Strains: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis
(BioMed Central, 2013-06-25)Background: Influenza vaccines are most effective when the antigens in the vaccine match those of circulating strains. However, antigens contained in the vaccines do not always match circulating strains. In the present ... -
Comparing malaria surveillance with periodic spraying in the presence of insecticide-resistant mosquitoes: Should we spray regularly or based on human infections?
(Elsevier, 2016-06-01)There is an urgent need for more understanding of the effects of surveillance on malaria control. Indoor residual spraying has had beneficial effects on global malaria reduction, but resistance to the insecticide poses a ... -
Comparing Non-Steady State Emissions under Start-Up and Shut-Down Operating Conditions with Steady State Emissions for Several Industrial Sectors: A Literature Review
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017-02-04)This study investigates the emissions of various industrial facilities under start-up, shut-down, and normal operations. The industries that have been investigated include power and/or heat generation, energy-from-waste ... -
Comparison of a new portable digital meniscometer and optical coherence tomography in tear meniscus radius measurement
(Wiley, 2013-10-07)Purpose: Non-invasive measurement of tear meniscus radius (TMR) is useful in the assessment of tear volume for dry eye diagnosis. This study investigates the agreement between a new, portable, slit-lamp mounted, digital ... -
A Comparison of Calculated and Measured Indoor-Side Window Temperature Profiles
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2003)Computer-generated surface temperature profiles are presented for the indoor side, vertical centerline of two windows and a calibration transfer standard (CTS). These specific configurations were chosen because they match ... -
Comparison of Graphene Oxide and Reduced Graphene Oxide for DNA Adsorption and Sensing
(American Chemical Society, 2016-10-18)Fluorescently labeled DNA adsorbed on graphene oxide (GO) is a well-established sensing platform for detecting a diverse range of analytes. GO is a loosely defined material and its oxygen content may vary depending on the ... -
Comparison of meibomian gland dropout using two infrared imaging devices
(Elsevier, 2018-11-07)Purpose To measure the degree of meibomian gland (MG) dropout in the lower eyelid determined by analysis of images obtained from the LipiView II (LVII) and the Keratograph 5M (K5M). Methods The inferior eyelid of each ... -
Comparison of model-predicted and measured moment arms for the rotator cuff muscles
