"Quantification methods" refers to techniques or processes used to measure or determine the amount or quantity of something.
Full definition
To help you select which method may be most appropriate for your circumstances, try out the
FLW Quantification Method Ranking Tool.
However, in order to help you select the most appropriate method (s) under different scenarios, an FLW
Quantification Method Ranking Tool is available.
DECIDING HOW TO QUANTIFY FLW 7.1 Selecting a Method for Quantifying FLW 7.2 Overview of Quantification Methods
Rosenfeld and his students have developed an
aerosol quantification method that uses satellite - based measurements of the infrared light reflected by clouds.
We also assess performance in real 16S data, where we reanalyze previous genetic association data to show that relative to other widely used
quantification methods Karp reveals a larger number of microbiome quantitative trait association signals.
Cell - free DNA (cfDNA) is another potential CSF biomarker for such pathologies, yet standardized isolation and
quantification methods remain to be defined.
«Through most of my research I've reached the conclusion that there is no formula to determine what constitutes an successful work of art, and that's exactly the magic of a work of art — that it's not measurable by
typical quantification methods, so the gesture of creating these pieces speaks more towards the obsessions of optimizations through streamlining quantification and a big data centric way of thinking rather than trying to find a fixed solution.»
A project type may nevertheless be considered if it is possible to combine standardized additionality assessments with project -
specific quantification methods, or where the scope of a protocol can be limited to address only activities and conditions for which standardized approaches are feasible.
Although the Reserve does not directly adopt methodologies developed by other organizations (all of its protocols are developed and finalized through public, transparent stakeholder processes), it will prioritize project types for which well - developed and vetted
GHG quantification methods already exist.
The following table provides additional detail on
the quantification methods used to gather data at different stages as well as the estimated uncertainty.a
Moreover, a companion document, Guidance on FLW
Quantification Methods, provides detailed guidance regarding 10 quantification methods that are commonly used to quantify lost or wasted food.
The FLW Standard does not require that you use a particular
quantification method because the quantification method (s) you choose will be influenced by your particular goals, the scope selected for your food loss and waste inventory, the human and financial resources available, and whether you have direct access to the physical lost or wasted food.
Section 6.7 of the FLW Standard provides guidance on this as does the Guidance on FLW
Quantification Methods (see Section 3.2 and Appendix A).
We also describe factors that may influence your quantification choices and provide an overview of the 10 commonly used
quantification methods.
The parent methodology provides definitions, applicability criteria, project boundary definition, baseline and additionality requirements,
quantification methods, monitoring and verification requirements, and uncertainty calculations for all modules.
The process of quantifying greenhouse gas emissions could not occur without a third - party to verify or validate
the quantification methods.
Are you saying that the aggregate and cumulative external effects of human activities on climate change are negligible for the relevant time horizon (ie until life on earth stops for reasons not under the control of humans) or are you saying you disagree with all or some of
the quantifications methods available at present?
