Human tear film protein sampling using soft contact lenses
BackgroundHuman tear protein biomarkers are useful for detecting ocular and systemic diseases. Unfortunately, existing tear film sampling methods...
-
Concept of Sampling Methodologies and Their Applications
As complete enumeration of a population is very often untenable because of time, cost and various other constraints, a part of the population is...
-
Comparative study of interpolation methods for low-density sampling
Given the high costs of soil sampling, low and extra-low sampling densities are still being used. Low-density soil sampling usually does not allow...
