assessed for their suitability for surgery. Taking the pulse allows us to find out what the patient’s heart rate is and to assess the strength, regularity, and character of the pulse. Irregularities might indicate a heart problem and must be investigated. Taking the pulse also provides an initial recording (a ‘baseline’) that will enable us to compare future measurements and monitor changes in ...
متن کاملHow to measure efficiency
The measurement of the efficiency of some selection or process is always an important part of the analysis of experimental data. The statistical techniques needed to determine the efficiency and its uncertainty are reviewed, based on the use of the Bayes’ theorem. Uniform and non-uniform priors are considered in two real-life examples. The use of the uncertainties in practical cases is also con...
متن کاملKaryotype asymmetry: again, how to measure and what to measure?
One of the most popular, cheap and widely used approaches in comparative cytogenetics - especially by botanists - is that concerning intrachromosomal and interchromosomal karyotype asymmetry. Currently, there is no clear indication of which method, among the many different ones reported in literature, is the most adequate to infer karyotype asymmetry (especially intrachromosomal), above all in ...
متن کاملHow to measure blood glucose
The level of glucose in the blood can be measured by applying a drop of blood to a chemically treated, disposable ‘test-strip’, which is then inserted into an electronic blood glucose meter. The reaction between the test strip and the blood is detected by the meter and displayed in units of mg/dL or mmol/L. There are a number of different types of meters available, and all are slightly differen...
