In in vitro analyses, background variations are usually corrected by the spectrum of a standard reference sample that has similar optical properties to the analyte of interest.
Utilizing data triangulation (i.e., multiple data collection methods: information from the two focus group sessions, the background information on the participants and field notes gathered by the interviewer) and investigator triangulation (i.e., multiple researchers for analyses, background of focus group leader) strengthened the credibility of the data [ 29].
One in-depth study analysed background emissions, economic trends and weather patterns, and concluded that between 2005 and 2007 the ETS reduced emissions by 120-300m tonnes, with a best guess of 210m tonnes across Europe.
A questionnaire, designed to analyse background characteristics, was given to 290 women in the third trimester of gestation.
Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages and means) will be used to analyse background characteristics.
This system analyses the background activity, intermittent abnormalities, artefacts and the level of vigilance and attention of the subject, and automatically presents its report in written form.
"Deliberative materials" are broadly defined as "communications and other materials, including opinions, analyses, briefings, background information, recommendations, suggestions, drafts, correspondence about drafts, and notes, created or prepared in the process of reaching a decision concerning a policy or course of action".
Low-level analyses included background correction, quartile normalization and expression estimation using GCRMA [13].
Results of quantitative analyses: few background CRPS incidence data were retrieved.
Overall, analyses of background characteristics showed no significant differences in anxiety levels between the groups, except among women aged 26 30.
Data analyses of background information and subgroup analyses of HRQoL outcomes were performed using descriptive statistical methods, using mean values, standard deviations (SD) and proportions.
