Furthermore, the proportion of positive samples may be affected by the sensitivity of the test used, the sample type used and quality of obtaining the specimen, time of sampling after onset of symptoms and the patient groups sampled.
Cytosolic K+ homeostasis, in its turn, is strongly affected by the sensitivity of plasma membrane transporters to ROS and the plant's ability to prevent stress-induced hydroxyl radical accumulation in stressed tissues.
This example will allow us to examine how the group-analysis model is affected by the sensitivity profile of a nearest-neighbor optical probe while simplifying the problem by keeping the subject anatomy the same (within-subject averaging).
It is also very well known that other than hydrophobicity of P4VP, the CO2 reduction mechanism is affected by the pH sensitivity of the polymer.
Apple isn't the only company to have faced this kind of omission – Microsoft's Windows 8 was left off in May, and anti-virus software from Symantec and Kaspersky has also been affected by the increased sensitivity to security from the Chinese government, which is involved in escalating cyberwarfare efforts among international interests.
Even the toughest guys that I taught, and I've taught quite a few "thugs" -- scarred, tattooed, hearts tough as stone (or so they'd like you to think) -- would've had a hard time not being affected by the interns' sensitivity to, genuine concern for, and insights into their lives and "the system" that had them (in so ways).
Second, inferences about pneumococcal carriage may be affected by the nonoptimal sensitivity of pneumococcus detection (21).
In addition, BVDV surveillance programs may be affected by the poor sensitivity of commonly used PCRs with respect to atypical pestiviruses because of their genetic distance from BVDVs.
In order to improve the specificity of the assay – a specificity that is negatively affected by the high sensitivity of the RT PCR technique – establishing a cutoff was pursued instead of performing a negative immunological preselection or another method to eliminate fractions of nonepithelial blood cells that might express CK-19 at low levels.
