In order to ascertain the molecular variability of RTBV in India, primers were designed to amplify a polymorphic DNA fragment of the virus.
A massively parallel high performance computational platform (a 1200 processor IBM SP-2) was used to conduct three-dimensional, high resolution simulations to ascertain the spatial variability to be expected during a monitoring period.
To ascertain the source of variability (or lack of) in the post-blink phase of tear film meniscus, an experienced subject was asked to exercise regular tiny eye twitching during the measurement.
In order to ascertain the degree of variability prevailing among health professionals, we calculated the variation ratio (VR) for the number of visits per physician, prescription drug cost per physician and Efficiency Index for both.
Among the monocots we ascertained the highest variability in the SSR frequencies with Allium (38.9 counts/Mbp) and Oryza (258.0 counts/Mbp).
Nucleotide sequences of pncA genes found within mycobacteria where aligned in an effort to ascertain the significance of any variability in sequence.
The relationship between the mentolabial angle and attractiveness was recorded to ascertain the range of normal variability, in terms of observer acceptance, and to determine the clinically significant threshold value or cut-off point, beyond which the angle is perceived as unattractive and surgical correction is desired.
From these models, it was possible to ascertain the overall amount of variability explained in suicidal intent by the model, which sets of variables added significantly to the prediction of suicidal intent as well as the relative importance of individual predictors.
For the control, we assessed the interobserver and intraobserver reproducibility and variability to ascertain the quality of the image analyses.
Finally, we constructed Confirmatory Path Analysis to ascertain the actual links between inter-individual variability in FID, RBS and urban invasiveness (see Fig. 5).
