This imperatival theory is positivist, for it identifies the existence of legal systems with patterns of command and obedience that can be ascertained without considering whether the sovereign has a moral right to rule or whether his commands are meritorious.
The medical history of the entire family was ascertained and considered when evaluating the "pseudo wild-type" FVL test results and determining the haemostasis risk burden.
Capital and operational expenditure are ascertained from calculations considering six dynamic sub-models describing the UCG-CCGT-CCS process flow and aiming at determination of the costs of electricity (COE).
Rather than self-report, cases in Denmark and Sweden were identified via local and national diabetes and pharmaceutical registers [ 26] (www.ssi.dk/Sundhedsdataogit/Registre/Diabetesregisteret.aspx, accessed 11 October 2013) and hence all ascertained cases were considered to be verified.
A significantly higher CNV burden was also observed for girls compared to boys (Mann Whitney test, one-tailed P = 0.009) manifesting autism with or without ID/DD when total base pairs of de novo CNV per person in these independently ascertained cohorts were considered (Additional file 1: Figure S3C).
In these patients, i.e. when the intolerance or lack of responsiveness to conservative treatments is ascertained, surgical options are considered.
Because germline DNA is assumed to be stable, the prospective investigation of an assay in an already ascertained biobank may be considered to be prospective.
The contribution of hypomagnesemia is difficult to ascertain for ventricular arrhythmias, considering the associated electrolyte abnormalities, and clinicians, very often, fail to measure magnesium.
Interestingly, this difference in CNV burden between boys and girls seemed to decrease in magnitude when individuals ascertained with ID/DD were considered (Fig. 5b).
