...For the important special case where α1 = α2 the ratio is referred to as the relative potency [11], and it is interpreted as a measure for quantifying the strength of one substance over another, i....

...PLOSONE | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0146021 December 30, 2015 8 / 13 In case several dose-response curves are fitted simultaneously the function compParm() is useful for comparisons between groups within a single model parameter; see Example 3 in S1 File....

...For instance, various special cases may be derived from the general four-parameter log-logistic model function [26] (see also Example 4 in S1 File)....

...The response may also be discrete as in number of events observed in a specific time interval such as number of juveniles, offspring, or roots [10]; this setting also encompassses Wadley’s problem considered in Example 6 in S1 File [11]....

...The ensemble insulation value differs by as much as 20% depending on whether one uses the tables and algorithms in the older or newer versions of ASHRAE Standard 55 (1981, 1992), or ISO 7730 (1994). It will therefore be important that rigorous statistical correction factors are used to create consistent ensemble clo values across the RP-884 database. 2. Accounting for the chair insulation. The tendency for PMV to overestimate thermal neutralities has been reported in several field studies (Schiller 1990), prompting Fanger and Wyon (1990) to suggest that the method of estimating clothing insulation might be systematically flawed by omission of the thermal effect that chairs have on their occupants. McCullough and Olesen (1994) responded by examining the effects of upholstered office furniture on the total thermal insulation of a heated manikin, and found that a typical office chair adds approximately 0....

...The net result is that adapted building occupants may be perfectly comfortable at temperatures beyond those recommended in standards such as ASHRAE 55 (1992) and ISO 7730 (1984, 1994)....

...• Class I: Field experiments in which all sensors and procedures were in 100% compliance with the specifications set out in ASHRAE Standard 55 (1992) and ISO 7730 (1984). In particular, all of the shortcomings identified in Class II investigations were absent from Class I field experiments....

...For example, when recently asked by a union official whether or not Standard 55 (ASHRAE 1992) was applicable to un-air-conditioned premises, ASHRAE’s Technical Committee (TC 2.1) responsible for the standard openly declared that their comfort charts were intended for both HVAC and naturally ventilated premises. Many researchers, however, challenge this assumption of universal applicability, arguing that it ignores important contextual differences that can attenuate responses to a given set of thermal conditions. While the “comfort zone” might be viewed by the engineering community as a design goal for a deterministic HVAC control system, its relevance to naturally ventilated buildings where conditions are inherently much more variable is questionable (Forwood 1995). This was also acknowledged by Givoni (1992), who revised his already notable work on the building bioclimatic chart....
