The ParaSight(R)-F test is a qualitative diagnostic test of Plasmodium falciparum, which is based on the detection by a monoclonal antibody of a species-specific soluble antigen (histidine-rich protein (HRP-II)) in whole blood and which can be performed without special equipment. A visual reading is given by a polyclonal antibody coupled with dye-loaded liposomes; when positive, a pink line app...

In August 2004 NIST published a novel measure of fingerprint image quality, which is designed to predict performance of minutia-based fingerprint matching systems. The definition and methodology of NIST Fingerprint Image Quality (NFIQ) is documented in [1] and its implementation is publicly available; but subject to US export control laws as part of NIST Fingerprint Image Software 2 (NFIS2) dis...

the present study was an attempt to investigate varieties of cloze test and c-test as measures of reading comprehension ability. it aimed at comparing the performances of subjects on different cloze and c-test forms constructed from the same passage. to this end, five versions of cloze test and two versions of c-test were developed by applying different deletion techniques and deletion rates, a...

This appendix lays out a theoretical and practical framework for the collection and evaluation of data during rebound testing. As mentioned in Section 9-9, rebound tests (also known as “pulsing tests”) are commonly used to assess the attainment of cleanup in the vadose zone. However, little information is available to guide field practitioners through the data collection and its interpretation ...
