Although our funnel meta-regression analysis showed a limited publication bias (Additional file 1: Fig. S2), the bias was always difficult to ascertain with a small sample number of the included studies.
The ultimate intention is to ascertain, in a small cortex, basic principles for the establishment of axon network structure at the onset of first experience, and examine how those principles scale in expanding cortical sizes.
Small signal stability (or small-disturbance stability) in a power system is the ability of the system to ascertain a stable operating condition following a small perturbation around its operating equilibrium [7, 21].
Marijon et al. [ 27] ascertained, in a small study, that cardiovascular risk factors differed between ethnic groups in Mozambique with hypertension being most prevalent in the African population and this population group having very few other risk factors in comparison to the European and South East Asian groups.
Nevertheless previous studies in Europe investigating this possible relationship have been conducted with small sample sizes and thus failed to ascertain a large number of individuals with PWS.
To ascertain a star's interests, GPG uses an exercise called "the 100 questions".
Domain names are used to ascertain a unique identity.
Our results demonstrated a significantly higher prevalence of slow acetylators in populations practicing farming and herding as compared to populations mostly relying on hunting and gathering, thus confirming the previous findings of Luca et al. [8] ascertained from a smaller set of populations.
These PBS data do not identify the prescriber, so it cannot be ascertained whether a smaller sub-group of prescribers accounted for most lumiracoxib and meloxicam prescribing in the wake of rofecoxib withdrawal.
Given graph G= V,E) where |V|=n and |E|=m, ascertain (a typically small) subset of vertices, R⊆V, |R|≤k, whose removal leaves the residual graph G∖R with minimum pairwise connectivity, i.e., underset{R subseteq V}{argmin} sum_{mathcal{C}_{i}} left(begin{array}{c}|mathcal{C}_{i}|{2}end{array}right) (1).
