A quantitative assessment of fluorophore co-localization in confocal optical sections was performed using Pearson's correlation coefficient, which is a well defined and commonly accepted tool for describing the extent of overlap between image pairs (Manders et al. 1993).
This study was designed to examine whether and to what extent CRP is related to baseline cortisol concentrations in a well defined cohort of short-illness-duration first-episode, treatment-naïve MDD patients.
Entries are judged on the extent to which the items in the collection form a coherent pattern of inquiry and/or represent a well defined field of interest.
Is there a well defined question?
The cryptographic protocol designed for such a system can be proven secure assuming a security model: semi-honest, covert, or malicious, meaning that to a well-defined extent, the inputs from the users are protected from the service provider and any malicious attacker in an execution, thus providing trustworthiness.
Although the effects of VPA on bulk histone modifications are well defined, the extent to which they are reflected in altered histone modifications at control regions of defined genes, has not so far been reported.
Therefore, Algorithm A is well defined.
TSPAN8 plays an important role in pancreas development in Xenopus embryos (Ref. 134), but its functions in mammalian development and adult physiology are not well defined, so the extent to which targeting TSPAN8 in tumours might cause undesirable side effects in normal tissues remains unknown.
First we show A is well defined.
At the same time, the condition is relatively homogenous, and the surgical procedure involved is well defined and limited in extent, thereby reducing the variability within the trial population.
The notion of study "quality" is not well defined but relates to the extent to which its design, conduct, analysis, and presentation were appropriate to answer its research question.
