A mixture of regressions approach focuses overly on anomalous trajectories and is sensitive to model coding. Conclusions Statistical clustering can be used to form sampling strata when longitudinal measures are of primary interest. Many clustering algorithms are available; the choice of the clustering ...
European and/or Australian dietary intake values (see Step 4, Fig.1) were assessed and categorized as (a) within the tolerance range, (b) outside the tolerance range, but justified for inclusion in the recalculation of the GPV, or (c) outside the tolerance range, but not justified for ...
Recombinant IgGs were transiently expressed in Expi293FTM cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific) as per manufacturer’s recommendations. The Heavy- and light-chain-coding plasmids were co-transfected at a 1:1 ratio. The antibody was purified from cell-free supernatant 4–5 days post-transfection using...
To establish the hierarchical relationships between the constituent elements of the framework, each researcher involved in the study (3 academics and 2 practitioners) independently produced their own coding of the framework. From the comparison between the researchers, based on an intercoder reliability ...
Those DNA regions could be either noncoding regions as well as the region of the target gene present in a distinctly related genus. Online tools such as Primer-BLAST enable primers to be evaluated by searching for similar genes within the database. During the designing phase, it is important...
Long non-coding RNA RPKM: Reads per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads scWAT: Subcutaneous white adipose tissue TSS: Transcription start site WHR: Waist to hip ratio References Vague J. The degree of masculine differentiation of obesities: a factor determining predisposition to...
A sample of six Argentine SMEs from manufacturing, services and construction sectors was used to evaluate specific CSR initiatives in the areas of social development. A total of 23 interviews were conducted, and open coding was used to analyze and develop categories and themes from the data ...
The coding of interview transcripts identified seven major themes: motivations to develop an oral health curriculum; rationale for curriculum topics covered; best aspects of the curriculum; evaluation and assessment strategies; relationships with dental providers and residents and dental hygienists; barriers...
Weaker fluorescence was also observed in other hypodermal cells throughout the animal, particularly in later stages of development. To determine the expression pattern of ndg-4, we fused 2.0 kb of the ndg-4 upstream region to the GFP coding region. In transgenic animals expressing this promoter ...
Under a de novo rate of 1.2 nonsynonymous coding variants per individual, we estimate the probability of detecting 11 or more CHD8 de novo truncating events in 6,176 cases as p = 9.4 × 10−23 (binomial test). This is significant in that this probability exceeds even a strict exome-...
