How useful are olfactometer experiments in chemical ecology research?
Olfactometer experiments, in which arthropods are given the choice between two or more odor sources to test behavioral preferences, are commonly used in chemical ecology research. Results of such often lead to conclusions on behavior in an ecologically relevant setting. However, it is widely unknown how well these experiments reflect actual behavior in nature. Recently, we used natural insect h...
متن کاملEnvironmental scans: how useful are they for primary care research?
[T]he focus shifts the locus of change from the individual to the environment in which the individual resides. Such a shift can provide crucial insight into realistic expectations related to health behaviors and the utilization of health services. By examining environmental or contextual factors, researchers can collect data to guide the design of effective health programs uniquely tailored to ...
متن کاملHow useful are preemptive schedules?
Machine scheduling admits two options to process jobs. In a preemptive mode processing may be interrupted and resumed later even on a different machine. In a nonpreemptive mode interruptions are not allowed. Usually, the possibility to preempt jobs leads to better performance values. However, also examples exist where preemptions do not improve the performance. This paper gives an overview of e...
متن کاملHow useful are polynomials for analyzing intonation?
This paper presents the first application of polynomial modeling as a means for validating phonological pitch accent labels to German data. It is compared to traditional phonetic analysis (measuring minima, maxima, alignment). The traditional method fares better in classification, but results are comparable in statistical accent pair testing. Robustness tests show that pitch correction is neces...
متن کاملHow Useful are Laboratory Practice Guidelines?
Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) relating to laboratory diagnostic testing are increasingly produced with the aim of standardizing practice and improving patient care based on the best available evidence. However, the production of a CPG is merely the first step in the process of getting evidence into practice, to be undertaken by laboratories and other stakeholders. This process should eval...
