Integrating effects

Biomarkers are often used in test batteries to evaluate the effects of exposure to multiple sources of contaminants and to detect responses to various sources of pollution, such as harbours, miscellaneous industrial sites and municipal and hospital wastewaters. Field studies with biomarkers are often plagued by various constraints, such as spatial variation (e.g. change in habitat characteristics), temporal variation (e.g. cycle of reproduction) and availability of organisms that can hamper data acquisition and prevent the use of multivariate methods during 

When the data are non-parametric, even after transformation (e.g. log transformation), a ranked approach can be used to calculate an index (Blaise et al., 

In field studies, data are not always normally distributed or parametric, even with relatively high replication (N = 10-16 individuals per site) and the use of data transformation techniques (e.g. logarithmic, reciprocal or arcsine). This could

The plate/txay efficiency is the integrated effect of all the point efficiencies. 

Here, 7 is the friction coefficient and Si is a Gaussian random force uncorrelated in time satisfying the fluctuation dissipation theorem, (Si(0)S (t)) = 2mrykBT6(t) [21], where 6(t) is the Dirac delta function. The random force is thought to stem from fast and uncorrelated collisions of the particle with solvent atoms. The above equation of motion, often used to describe the dynamics of particles immersed in a solvent, can be solved numerically in small time steps, a procedure called Brownian dynamics [22], Each Brownian dynamics step consists of a deterministic part depending on the force derived from the potential energy and a random displacement SqR caused by the integrated effect of the random force... 

It will be apparent from this brief survey that both the models in which most investment has been made show promise, and each offer certain advantages. In both cases there is a need for further investment in research to develop a clearer and more confident understanding of how best these methods can be integrated effectively with other information relating to allergenic activity to provide a holistic assessment of likely sensitizing potential. 

For these reasons, microbial sensors are less suitable for the determination of individual analytes. However, some practical apphcations for biosensors based on enzymes or antibodies for the specific determination of environmentally relevant compounds can be expected soon [11]. Furthermore, in some cases defined specific metabolic pathways in microorganisms are used, leading to microbial sensors for more selective analysis for those environmental pollutants which cannot be measured by the use of simple enzyme reactions, e.g., aromatic compounds and heavy metals. In this context it is also important to mention the aspect of bio availability, a parameter which is included by the measuring procedure of microbial sensors as an integral effect. 

In quantum electrodynamics (QED) the potentials asume a more important role in the formulation, as they are related to a phase shift in the wavefunction. This is still an integral effect over the path of interest. This manifests itself in the phase shift of an electron around a closed path enclosing a magnetic field, even though there are no fields (approximately) on the path itself (static conditions). As can be shown the result of such an experiment is gauge-invariant, allowing the use of various choices of the vector potential (all giving the same result).

ARIMA connects both autoregressive and moving average models and includes integrating effects, e.g. trends or seasonal effects. 

The purpose of this paper Is to (1) clarify the distinction between traditional risk assessments involving single species and assessments that integrate effects among species, including both direct and indirect effects (2) show the kinds of Information needed for ecosystem assessments at the forest watershed level and (3) review the recommendations of the National Research Council Committee in terms of the type of information needed and its availability for herbicides and forestry. 

From an applications standpoint, the partnership of HPLC and mass spectrometry benefited greatly from the tradition of HPLC within the pharmaceutical industry and from the growing trend to obtain structural and quantitative information during earlier stages of drug development. Ultimately, it has been the power of HPLC to resolve and the ability of mass spectrometry to identify that enabled LC/MS to integrate effectively with drug development and to solve prob-... 

Because the birefringence measurement is an integrated effect along the path of the beam in the sample, it is important that the flow be two-dimensional with the neutral axis parallel to the axis of that beam. For that reason, the width of the flow channel (which defines the length of the beam in the sample) must be relatively large relative to its height. A rule of thumb that is often used is a factor of 10, and the value used in this work was...

In soil and soil solutions, plants are exposed to many elements simultaneously and to other factors, which could interact in different ways. Thus, the integrated effects may be quite different from those obtained when any of the elements or factors is acting alone.
