An internal standard with similar chemical and physical properties to the ML1208 sites was evaluated with each batch of samples to determine data reproducibility with resulting relative standard deviations of 2.7%, 2.3% and 3.7% for 238U, 230Th and 232Th, respectively.
The prevalence of root resorption of the second molars was evaluated with each of several variables (Table 3): stage of eruption as well as Pell and Gregory and Winter classifications at T0 and T1.
Because low reliability can attenuate the observed correlation between two measures (Nunnally, 1970), it is crucial that we develop a test that produces reliable scores (keeping in mind that reliability is not a test property and must be evaluated with each new dataset).
Individual covariates were entered and removed from the model with point estimates and model performance was evaluated with each step [ 19].
Blank rabbit or calf serum was evaluated with each run, and the spiked matrix was used for matrix-matched standard curve extractions.
When these tests are used to assess incongruence, a pool of trees, normally including at least the ML tree for the entire concatenated data set and the ML gene trees, is evaluated with each marker.
Health status is evaluated with each interview wave, including medication use, chronic medical conditions (hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, lung disease, psychiatric disease, arthritis, and cancer), health behaviors, and symptoms, including general sleep concerns and pain.
The elements of matrix Z are evaluated with the condition that for each row, the summation of elements of K t) is 1.
Each design are evaluated with respect to their heat transfer performance vis-à-vis heat storage ratio.
