• #### Quantifying the Seasonal and Interannual Variability of North American Isoprene Emissions Using Satellite Observations of the Formaldehyde Column ﻿

(American Geophysical Union, 2006)
Quantifying isoprene emissions using satellite observations of the formaldehyde (HCHO) columns is subject to errors involving the column retrieval and the assumed relationship between HCHO columns and isoprene emissions, ...
• #### Quantifying the Strategyproofness of Mechanisms via Metrics on Payoff Distributions ﻿

(AUAI, CoRR, and ACM Digital Libraries, 2009)
Strategyproof mechanisms provide robust equilibrium with minimal assumptions about knowledge and rationality but can be unachievable in combination with other desirable properties such as budget-balance, stability against ...
• #### Quantifying the Uncertainties of a Bottom-Up Emission Inventory of Anthropogenic Atmospheric Pollutants in China ﻿

(European Geosciences Union, 2011)
The uncertainties of a national, bottom-up inventory of Chinese emissions of anthropogenic $SO_2$, $NO_x$, and particulate matter (PM) of different size classes and carbonaceous species are comprehensively quantified, ...
• #### Quantifying the Use of Connected Digital Products in Clinical Research ﻿

(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-04-03)
Over recent years, the adoption of connected technologies has grown dramatically, with potential for improving health care delivery, research, and patient experience. Yet, little has been documented about the prevalence ...
• #### Quantifying travel behavior for infectious disease research: a comparison of data from surveys and mobile phones ﻿

(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
Human travel impacts the spread of infectious diseases across spatial and temporal scales, with broad implications for the biological and social sciences. Individual data on travel patterns have been difficult to obtain, ...
• #### Quantifying Uncertainty in Deep Learning ﻿

(2020-06-17)
Deep learning literature has witnessed an abundance of proposals for novel models of uncertainty in recent years. However, there has been comparatively little emphasis on the need for separate estimates for aleatoric and ...
• #### Quantifying underreporting of law-enforcement-related deaths in United States vital statistics and news-media-based data sources: A capture–recapture analysis ﻿

(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017)
Background Prior research suggests that United States governmental sources documenting the number of law-enforcement-related deaths (i.e., fatalities due to injuries inflicted by law enforcement officers) undercount ...
• #### Quantifying unobserved protein-coding variants in human populations provides a roadmap for large-scale sequencing projects ﻿

(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)
As new proposals aim to sequence ever larger collection of humans, it is critical to have a quantitative framework to evaluate the statistical power of these projects. We developed a new algorithm, UnseenEst, and applied ...
• #### Quantifying visual preferences around the world ﻿

(Association of Computing Machinery, 2014)
Website aesthetics have been recognized as an influential moderator of people's behavior and perception. However, what users perceive as "good design" is subject to individual preferences, questioning the feasibility of ...
• #### Quantifying Word Use to Study Health Literacy in Doctor–Patient Communication ﻿

(Informa UK Limited, 2010)
Most health literacy research to date has assessed health literacy using either general reading tests or text-based appraisals of reading and numeracy skills, yet the definition of health literacy includes domains beyond ...
• #### Quantile Regression Analysis of the Distributional Effects of Air Pollution on Blood Pressure, Heart Rate Variability, Blood Lipids, and Biomarkers of Inflammation in Elderly American Men: The Normative Aging Study ﻿

(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2016)
Background: Previous studies have observed associations between air pollution and heart disease. Susceptibility to air pollution effects has been examined mostly with a test of effect modification, but little evidence is ...
• #### Quantile Uncorrelation and Instrumental Regressions ﻿

(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2012)
We introduce a notion of median uncorrelation that is a natural extension of mean (linear) uncorrelation. A scalar random variable Y is median uncorrelated with a k-dimensional random vector X if and only if the slope from ...
• #### Quantitating drug-target engagement in single cells in vitro and in vivo ﻿

(Nature Research, 2017)
Quantitation of drug target engagement in single cells has proven to be difficult, often leaving unanswered questions in the drug development process. We found that intracellular target engagement of unlabeled new therapeutics ...
• #### Quantitation of Porcine Cytomegalovirus in Pig Tissues by PCR ﻿

(American Society for Microbiology, 2001)
A quantitative-competitive PCR for the quantification of porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV) was developed. The virus was detected in a variety of pig organs (including potential xenotransplant donations), with viral loads ...
• #### Quantitation of slow drug release from an implantable and degradable gentamicin conjugate by in vivo magnetic resonance imaging ﻿

(American Society for Microbiology, 1995)
A biodegradable model hydrogel containing a covalently bound aminoglycoside in which drug release can be monitored by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in vivo was developed, The hydrogel consists of the bis-hydroxysuccinimide ...
• #### Quantitative Amyloid Imaging in Autosomal Dominant Alzheimer’s Disease: Results from the DIAN Study Group ﻿

(Public Library of Science, 2016)
Amyloid imaging plays an important role in the research and diagnosis of dementing disorders. Substantial variation in quantitative methods to measure brain amyloid burden exists in the field. The aim of this work is to ...
• #### Quantitative Analysis of Chemotherapeutic Effects in Tumors Using In Vivo Staining and Correlative Histology ﻿

(IOS Press, 2005)
