The evaluated variables were plant height (H); diameter of the stem (SD); leaf dry mass (LDM); stem dry mass (SDM); shoot dry mass (SHDM); principal root dry mass (PRDM); secondary root dry mass (SRDM); total root dry mass (TRDM); total dry mass (TDM); shoot height: diameter ratio (SHDR), shoot: root ratio (SRR) and quality index of Dickson (
DQI).
For the intermediate level, such reduction of
DQI was 16.9%.
Therefore, the evaluation scores for the indicators according to Table 1 are {3.0, 5.0, 4.0, 4.0, 3.0, 5.0, 3.0}, and thus its
DQI is 3.85.
By using the 2008-2009 HBS, this study adds a new analytical approach to the understanding of BFP impacts and to evaluating the
DQI. There are analyses of the estimated impact of the BFP in various areas, but none related to
DQI, nor using the HBS data.
The
DQI was a good indicator of seedling quality, robustness, and biomass distribution.
For the assessment of this category, we have adopted a coding scheme that borrows elements from the
DQI and from Papacharissi's (2004) distinction, as well as from the procedures suggested by Wales and her contributors (2010).
Chapter four outlines the contradicting results from the
DQI. On one hand, deliberative quality scores high: claims are often substantiated, participants are provided opportunities to speak, and agents exhibit mutual respect (pp.
The reliability band of [[DELTA].sup.(j).sub.i] obtained from [MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] in (22) and the standard deviation of
DQI, ([[sigma].sub.DQI]), is also calculated.
The Dickson quality index (
DQI), obtained by the equation [total dry matter mass/(RAD+RPAR)] (DICKSON et al., 1960), was verified.
developed a Discourse Quality Index (
DQI) for assessing authenticity based on Habermasian discourse ethics (open participation; mutual justification; concern with common good or enhancing the welfare of the least advantaged; mutual respect; shared aim for rationally motivated consensus) (2003: 24-26).
In this study we are analysing the relationship between three different approaches of diet quality indices including: index base don the food groups, which is the Australian Recommended Food Score (ARFS), and nutrients-based approach, the Diet Quality Index (
DQI).
The routine was implemented to obtain the SQI by means of statistical treatment of variables that generated a Domestic Quality Index (
DQI) and a Social Inclusion Index (SII).
