Images were converted to grey scale and each pixel was allocated a value corresponding to its 'grey shade'.
Drug sensitivities (EC50) of wild-type FDMs were calculated similarly with untreated samples allocated a value of 1 pM and a survival value of zero designated as 1 M.
Revisions, which involve a higher frequency of complications and a longer training period than primary knee replacements, were allocated a value of -0.2 quality-adjusted life years.
Each entry of the vector is allocated a value from the constellation point set C, and all possible (N_{c}^{n_{q}}) combinations need to be considered and examined.
Undetectable PVLs were allocated a value equal to half the detection threshold, and plasma HIV-1 RNA copies/ml were log10 transformed to normalise their distribution.
This method, "MetaNorm", orders the values of the 22 215 PS of the Affymetrix U133A microarray and allocates a new value to each PS according to its rank, using a unique signal value template (Assou et al., manuscript in preparation).
This value can be explained on the one hand by the fact that North Rhine-Westphalia has an extensive wood-products and furniture manufacturing industry and therefore allocates a value of –7.9 Mt C to material substitution.
In addition to the common gene name, these loci are allocated a value-free nomenclature consistent with the FAM18 genome annotation but using the prefix NEIS instead of NMC (Table 3, Appendix).

The German population experience-weighted index uses the VAS results from the general German population to allocate a value to each 5-digit state [ 27].
The BOD approach, instead, as pointed out by Despotis [34], is formally equivalent to the original input oriented and constant-returns-to-scale DEA model presented by Charnes et al. [33], with the sub-indicators representing the different outputs and allocating a single 'dummy input' with value unity to each country.
